Madigan's
This raucous Irish pub is the best on Plaza de Cuba, and is now one of the hip places for mass youth gatherings.
-
Maya Soul
Beat-up leather sofas and soulful house music make this a soporific afternoon stop-off. Things get livelier in the evening.
-
Nao
Nao is one of a handful of pulsating bars off the Plaza de la Alfalfa. If you're in a party mood, you should find at least one with a scene that takes your fancy.
-
Nu Yor Café
A cocktail lounge that gets sweaty with Salsa on Thursdays after , when a Cuban band swings its maracas. There are occasional flamenco nights too.
-
P Flaherty Irish Pub
The location right next to the cathedral makes this one of the busiest bars around. Guinness and footie are on offer, and if there's a game on, the atmosphere is fun.
-
Sala La Fundición
This municipally run but innovative experimental theatre has some offbeat offerings.
-
Shiva
Handsome barmen aside, you'll be swooning from the candlelight and incense (and maybe the alcohol) before you know it.
