    Ok so the BEST VIEWS of Madrid at this joint. You can pay $4Euros to go up on the terrace without a reservation at the restaurant, or you can make the reservation and enjoy the best tapas and drinks. I ordered white wine and peppers they were delish, and the views again were phenomenal.

    What a great spot in the heart of Madrid to catch an early drink before dinner or just a late night hang. I'm sure this place must be packed in the summer time, but since we were here in November there was barely anyone there....just the way I like it. Keep in mind there's a charge to get in. On the ground floor is a ticket machine, for 5 euro it gets you in, also remember this is a rooftop bar so the prices will be higher than normal. And if your concerned about the cold, they have heaters above so lay back and enjoy the view!

    The most amazing rooftop view! Make sure to get there well before the sun sets to see the gorgeous colors in the sky. There is a line to access the elevators to the rooftop terrace and a charge of 2€ per person, which must be paid in cash, but well worth it! Such a unique way to see Madrid

    The terrace with the best panoramic views of Madrid. On two levels this terrace serves drinks and food. The burgers smell fantastic when you are laying back in one the beds sipping on a cocktail. Music, fans with water misters and a spectacular view. Make a reservation and reserve a bed, and reservations to eat is a must. They are practically booked all summer long. They are not the fastest team but this is definitely worth a try.

    Pano view of Madrid from the rooftop!

    In Madrid for my wedding anniversary. It had been suggested to me to venture to a roof top bar or two to take in the 360 view of the city and the sunset. My wife and I along with the group we traveled with decided Tartan was the move. We waited in a series of lines for approximately 20 minutes and honestly it was worth every second. The bar service was wonderful, there was plenary of seating, lounging, and standing room. As an added bonus the DJ was on point. I would highly recommended this experience to anyone fortunate enough to be in the city!

    Go for the view and a drink at least. This is a must do if you are in Madrid in my opinion. Cheap ticket for breathtaking views of the city with a lounge area. Major picture opportunity

    I've been up to Tartan Roof several times, this review in particular is for the restaurant. We made reservations online to go there for lunch(they don't have a menú del día by the way) in June, which can be quite hot. Fortunately the weather was pretty great. Before our food came out though, they had those water spritzer things on that they have at a bunch of places to keep you cool during the summer heat. The spritzer things were definitely not working, they were leaking all over the place. There was a puddle forming on our table, I could see a man's shirt getting totally wet, and a couple had to leave because they were very uncomfortable with getting wet as well. When they told the waiter this, she gave them a dirty look! She didn't even bother apologizing. Then as soon as the couple left, they just turned them off. They obviously need to work on their service because I did not hear them apologizing to anybody and they didn't apologize to us either for the puddle of water. The service during our lunch was okay, no smiles, as is pretty usual in Madrid, and I felt like they kept pushing you to order more drinks. This is the type of place where when you ask for a glass of water with your glass of wine, they say, sorry, we can only give you a bottle (aka we are stingy as hell and want to take every last cent out of you). Now on to the food, we ordered the Margarita ceviche plate. The presentation was beautiful but the plate itself was tiny and had no salt. It just tasted like I was eating lemon juice, so I asked the waiter for some salt and it tasted much better after. Definitely not worth the 11 euros for such a tiny plate. We also tried the Tuna Tartar and the Carrillera plate. They were both much better than the starter. The tuna tartar was good, nothing out of this world, and not worth the 18 euros it costs either. On the other hand, the carrillera curry plate was really good and a great portion. It comes with a little bowl of rice. To conclude, come here for the amazing views and to enjoy a glass of wine, which are not too expensive, we've paid 3 euros before, but avoid the restaurant. Perhaps we just ordered the wrong dishes, but the service is just not up to par for a restaurant that charges as much as it does and that purports to be as good as it is.

    This place is wonderful to go to on a sunny day to get a nearly 360 degree view of the Madrid skyline, and perfect for a sunset. You should note that there is a 3 euro cover fee that should be paid in the lobby of the building. There is a variety of chairs and beds that are very welcoming and allow you to settle in and stay for a while. I was a little disappointed that the rooftop dining and bar services were closed the night that we were there because I felt like it jipped the experience a bit-especially since I had to pay a cover to enter. Overall a great experience.

    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.

    I think they mean "Bar Rooster."…read more In any event ... Stopped in here on New Year's Day around 8:30 and the place was dead. For that reason, I can say the service was great. 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.
