Forever and always a gem in the Born. We randomly discovered this place about five years ago, and…read moreon a recent trip were on a quest to find it again. And happy to report we did! This place is a vibe. It's a no frills vermouth bar tucked in a narrow street, with a few seats inside and a couple barrels outside for standing. We ordered a couple vermouths and stood outside, absolutely thrilled to be back in a place that feels like home. Their vermouth is great too, with strong notes of cinnamon and star anise. Perfect with the briny olive and slice of orange it's served with. Hope to be a regular here someday. That's the dream.

It's a local hangout and one of my favourite go-to places for late night drinks. The mojitos are strong and sugary. The only warning comes with the bathrooms that are never really that clean & well kept, but thats all part of the dive bar experience.

The…read moreselection is just a bit more interesting, you'll find several items you wouldn't normally see. Everything I've tried here has been executed perfectly. Don't mistake this for creative modern tapas. The vibe is a mix of divey, garage hipster, retro, junky, local and traditional. You'll see the same people here weekly. Prices are excellent for the quality of food served. I'd recommend: gambas al ajillo (garlic shrimp), albondigas con setas (meatballs and mushrooms), bravas, galtas (shredded cheek, on top of crispy fried tortillas- this one is perfect to share for up to 4 people)

My husband found this place during his research for our trip and desperately wanted to try it out…read more I am so happy we did. The entire bar is decorated in skateboards and had a wide variety of music playing in the background. The bartender was very nice and told us we could sample any beer we wanted. With our first round she gave us fresh bread and salami to nibble on while we chatted. When we ordered our second round she brought over olives for us to enjoy. We honestly could have hung out there all night due to the relaxing atmosphere. I really and truly recommend stopping in here to relax before dinner or after dinner one night. You will not be disappointed! We went in February of 2015. For more information and pictures check out our site : www.thegreatcubeescape.com
