From Grace Kelly to Eva Gardner, to Salvador Dali to Audrey Hepburn, everyone came here for drinks and eats. It's right out of the 40s and 50s with classy booths and a nice bar filled every liquor you need. I chose a vodka tonic with lemon and got down with my roots back home and had the burger and fries. It tasted like a virtuous double-double from In N Out, back home but way better, juicier and memorable. I was truly happy that it could bring back memories of home and still enjoy being somewhere truly special. Drinks are phenomenal as well as the staff, who looked on our needs for

Everyone must have been hung over from the night before. Or still sleeping. The die hard NYE revelers stay out until about 7 AM in this country. Not me. I can't hang. Overall, the cocktail menu has about 20 of the usual suspects: martini, strawberry daiquiri, mai tai, manhattan, sidecar, etc. No prices in the menu but expect to pay about 7,25 each. In other words, about half the price you'd pay at a cocktail bar in New York, so a major bargain for me. The sidecar was delicious, as was the whiskey sour. While not explicitly clear in the menu, this place will either create cocktails for you or let you create your own. Just ask. Desperately wanting paella across the street at La Barraca, the unoccupied waiter took the time to run across the street to check on availability, then again to make a reservation. Excellent customer service, though he was taken aback at my gesture of a small tip for his efforts, which he reluctantly accepted. Bottom line is there really aren't that many bars in Madrid dedicated specifically to cocktails, despite the size of the city. Consider this place a rarity. Other: Very classy decor. Cool music. Chill vibes. Free wifi zone. No food.

Based on a little pre-trip research, 1862 Dry Bar was on my must-do list for a recent business trip…read moreto Madrid. I visited on a rainy Thursday night so there wasn't a large crowd and I grabbed an open seat at the end of the bar. A friendly gentleman gave me a menu and asked what I was interested in. When I mentioned the Old Fashioned, he advised that it was an Amaro-based version without the usual bourbon/whiskey spirit. I noticed a Brooklyn and commented that I sometimes made those at home. Very politely he noted that if I was making them in the US, it wasn't with Amer Picon, which isn't available in the US. He's right. So an actual, real Brooklyn it would be! I thoroughly enjoyed the Brooklyn. I also enjoyed some brief conversation with the bartender who was very good. The kind who uses the spoon or straw to taste each drink to ensure it was made properly. As I was paying my bill and mentioning to the gentleman who initially greeted me that I wanted to bring my business partners here later in the week, he wrote his phone number on a business card and told me to call him in advance as the bar got very busy when it wasn't raining. Turns out, this friendly man is Alberto the owner! Guess I didn't do quite as much research as I could have! I regret we weren't able to make a second visit to 1862 Dry Bar on this particular trip, but it is going to be my first stop next time I'm back in Madrid. Great vibe, excellent staff and a classy and friendly owner.

The owner/manager (?) working the bar was quite a friendly character and seemed to enjoy the games with the patrons. He chatted with all the tables in turn but not too long to distract from the games playing. The food was decent and the portions on the normal side. My friend and I used the Yelp deal which was a paella and beer for 13€. The paella took about 20 minutes and it was served in a skillet--they gave a good mix of veggies and seafood. My other friend had what essentially was Spanish omelette with potatoes and veggies wrapped inside. Regrettably the beer that came with the deal tasted a bit like Coors Light but at least it was cool and tasted a bit smoother with the paella. The place itself is pretty small--maybe seats 30 people, with basically 2 TV's (one above the bar and another on the opposite wall. There are a few booths on the right side when you walk in and the rest are open tables in the center areas. It was the one place while we were in Madrid where I heard more American English than Spanish, but I suppose that comes with the sports territory.
