The is probably considered a great selection of beers for the area…read more Pros: -More beers on tap than anywhere else I found in Madrid -Small place with the perfect size crowds before dinner; never too busy but never suspiciously quiet either Meh: -Despite having probably 8 beers on tap, none of the beers were anything unique or special. A beer aficionado would be extremely disappointed.

Had to stop by here on Valentines because I didn't have tickets to the Real Madrid v PSG match…read more. Nice crowd but I think the waitress noticed that I was just there to watch the game and not order anything so she gave me a look and told me to go to the back to order at the bar lol or something like that. I just ordered mozzarella sticks and a bottle of Sol. It was meh.

Time for drinking, my friend and I checked Yelp and headed to this "dive bar" not far from the Faro…read moretower. It's not a dive bar at all, but they have beer and spirits and a wifi. We had a few beers, chatting and catching up. No problem with English here, but really, "Dos cervezas" isn't hard. Comfortable seating a good view of the street traffic while we drank.

My friends and I always discuss about the feasibility of this place…read more So this is how it works: 1. Wait for a while (there's always people) making a line surrounded by loud and already-drunk people. 2. Order a drink for 2,5€ (beer is what everybody drinks, but you can also have tinto, or any soft drink) and take it with you where your friends are. 3. Go back to the bar and take some tapas the waiter has prepared for you. It's great that tapas are "for free". Even though the drink is expensive, you will always have huge plates of whatever they have. They always give you "Bravas" (and they are great) but also "croquetas" or sandwiches. The good thing about this place is that you can have an extremely cheap dinner. Bad things? It's always crowded and hard to find a place to seat, you can't chose what you're have for eating (and healthiness is not their thing), and waits take too long. However I've already been there 2 times during the past week!

I had heard about Sierra from a few friends and seeing as it was in my neighborhood I decided to…read morepay it a visit asap. I knew what to expect. Your typical El Tigre type of bar heavy on the tapas but a slightly more expensive drink. Did I leave disappointed? Course not. If you're a food snob or in search of the chic dining experience, this is not your place. When you come here you're looking to eat, really eat. Get in line and order any standard drink, Even non-alcoholic, and be prepared to receive a substantial portion of tapas. Tapas include bravas, chicken wings, croquetas, and grilled cheese sandwiches. This isn't gourmet. What it is is a humble, cozy bar frequented by everything from universitarios to older couples. Come ready to eat and try not to overindulge. It happens. ¡Aproveche!

Really good food and drink! I enjoyed this alternative to the tapas scene. Nice bar seating, too…read more Enjoy!

Let's just say I've spent A LOT of time at La Buena Pinta. It's a play on words, the name of the…read moreplace: if something "tiene buena pinta", it means that the thing "looks good". "Pinta" is also the Spanish word for "pint", and "buena" is "good". So not only is the name "Looks Good", it's also "Good Pint". Not bad! Anyway, there are a lot of places now around the center of Madrid that sell craft beers. Not all of them have a bar, but the Buena Pinta does. Not all of them can boast of charging reasonable prices, but this place can. Juanma is also something ridiculous like trilingual, so if you don't speak Spanish it's not that big a deal. He's knowledgeable and charming, and has hired some good people. Let La Buena Pinta come highly recommended as a place to hang out and enjoy some great Spanish craft beers as well as a swell range of imports.

Good spot for craft beers inside Mercado de San Fernando. They have a dozen taps from different…read morebreweries with a broad selection of styles. In addition, they have bottles and cans that you can buy to take away or drink on the spot. Prices are good. I had a beer from La Virgen Brewery which I liked.
