Flamenco time! Tell me it's a tourist thing to do, but entertaining and cultural nonetheless! I feel like the sounds of the tapping of the shoes, dancing and movement, expresses the self-interpreted story. I had an enjoyable show experience here! I'm sure you will too! read more

This place is legit! I am a long time flamenco student and my teacher recommended this place as it is one of the most highly regarded tablaos in Madrid. Came here for the 10:30pm flamenco show, having reserved online a few days in advance. 40 euros gets you in to the show and includes 1 drink. It may seem a bit pricey (there are cheaper options in the city for sure), but it is 100% worth it if you want to see authentic flamenco in an intimate space. The seating area is not huge, but best of all, seats are kind of on an angle. So even if you are near the back, you can see the footwork. This is really great, because so many flamenco tablaos I went to in Andalucia were really cramped and basically if you are not in the front few tables, you cannot see any of the dancers' feet. Anyways, the calendar on the website will tell you who is dancing and who is performing on guitar and cante (singing). They get a lot of excellent artists here. The performance had one intermission and went until ~midnight. The dining area is at the front and the stage and performance space are in a smaller separate room in the back. Servers bring the drinks to you so you don't have to get up to go to the bar. Like many places in Spain, once you sit down you get a little bowl of nibbles, such as nuts. Overall, an incredible and moving experience with top notch performers. Plus, the location is very central, just a few blocks from Puerta del Sol. Because of the location perhaps, there will be a fair number of foreigners in the audience, but rest assured that what you are seeing here is the real deal. read more

What an awesome experience! I went to see a flamenco show during my honeymoon, and I will never forget it. There is a restaurant connected in the front and a room with a small stage and seating (like a small comedy club setup) in the back. We ordered some meatballs and some ham. Both dishes were great, and I wish we had decided to order the full dinner, but we did not (next time!). The show was fantastic! We were lucky enough to reserve seating in advance, so we were in the front row. The guitarists, the dancers, the singers ... they were phenomenal. I loved the music. I loved both the male and female dancers. They really worked up a sweat, and if you sit in the front row, be prepared to get some sweat on you. Honestly, it's tough to describe in words just how cool this was. It is a must-see if you are in the area. read more

Flaminco dancing show. Good steak. Meat tray was overpriced. Cheese tray was good. Soup of the day was unique but not very good in my opinion. Potatoes that came with the meals were excellent. Our service in the restaurant was excellent. Poor service in the show area. Waiter took my drink ticket and never brought my drink. read more

From the reviews, this place looks tops! Went to the website and it closed its doors indefinitely due to COVID. Just want folks to know before they fall in love with it the way I did, only to find the sad news. read more

I came without much expectation, but was blown away by the performance. It was lively and entertaining. There are two primary acts: Act 1: Male and Female Dance Act 2: Female and Male Solo dances There is a short intermission after the first act. The singing by the four male singers and one guitar player was amazing. The dancing was lively and very entertaining. Tickets are 38 euros and includes one alcoholic drink. I recommend the show if you're in Madrid. read more

This review is only about the flamenco show. I really wanted to give its a 4 star and higher becuase the show is great, the dancers and musicians are a delight and are very professional. But 38 euro per person?! Wow want a crazy price... They told me a free drink is included then asked for and extra 6euro because they said i wanted a good one haha... The chairs are uber bad :/ its like a torture seat, and the selection of Tapas is lacking in the show. read more

- Awesome night - eat dinner before the ten pm show - call to get resey for prime seating (We called at 6pm on a Thursday and was able to get in for that night's show at 1030) - Show is about 1.5-2 hours - Good sangria read more

The seating in this place was narrow, uncomfortable and arranged like a theater. The people who paid for the dinner got the front rows with better view. We got the first of the non-dinner tickets but our views was blocked by the people in front of us. I heard the same complaint from the people behind us that they were struggling to get a good look at the stage - and no one could see the dancers' feet. They need to put the stage a bit higher or have a more steep incline for the people seating in the back. The show was okay but we did not enjoy the atmosphere as much as the other places. btw... we passed the dining room and saw other people's dinner.... they did not look appetizing and we were glad that we did not eat there. read more

This is an excellent place to watch flamenco. I would definitely recommend calling ahead to avoid the chaos and make sure you get a seat. I ended up calling just an hour before the 8 p.m. show, and it was totally fine, but others who just showed up had a hard time finding seats. The ticket includes a drink, and I would definitely stop there. I was seated right by the kitchen and saw one of the servers sneeze directly onto her hands and onto a plate of food, and she immediately served that food to someone. read more

Restaurant: ok food, great service, unfair charge for bread which I neither asked for or ate. The chairs are basic and somewhat uncomfortable. Performance: great group playing for an audience that didn't appreciate them enough. Lots of passion and skill. I didn't care for the guest musician on saxophone- as is often the case with jazz saxophone players they tend to play the licks they've practiced regardless of whether or not it fits the music happening around them. There wasn't a lot of listening / responding going on but it didn't ruin the rest of the show for me- still lots of talent and connection on stage. Terrific dancers, guitarists and singers. read more

We reserve early to get a spot nearby the dance floor. Tip: Make a reservation. The Flamenco show is SUPERB! The younger Flamenco dancer (Jose) is athletic whereas the older dancer is more elegant. The lady flamenco dancer is super good. The sangrias is not good to be honest. The beer is ok. The personnel is friendly. read more

I feel quite lucky to have seen real (and vibrant!) Flamenco accompanied by a real Flamenco enthusiast...a Spanish, Madrid-dwelling one at that! Despite all of the English reviews here, have no fear -- this is not a touristy place. In fact, it's quite legitimate. Having never been to a performance such as this before in my life, I had no idea what to expect. Within minutes I was transfixed by the energy and intensity -- the music, the heart and soul of the production. Not to mention I could feel the stomping and clicking straight to my core. An all body experience. The performers and the crowd get very into it -- and it's really a beautiful site. Such passion and exuberance. Traditional, yet contemporary. Simply put, I adored it. I felt very blessed to have had the opportunity to enjoy it late on a chilly spring evening. We didn't come to eat, but had a few tapas (fish & jamon) which were simple and tasty. Went beautifully with a bottle of red wine and a beautiful performance. One drink does come complimentary with your ticket to the show, which is in a small theater near the back. My colleague planned the evening, but call or check the web site for showtimes, specials, etc. You'll want to reserve a table, especially on a weekend. If you are in Madrid -- a local or a traveler, this is not to be missed. I'll never forget it. *Special nod to Francisco R on the choice! read more

In Madrid, there is a lot of excellent food and quite a few places with great flamenco shows. This place is a true double threat, as they do both things extremely well. We arrived here at 9pm for our pre-show reservation and were seated quickly. We chose a few plates to share: black pudding, grilled octopus, and a plate of jamon. We also had a tasty bottle of albarino. The black pudding was rich and flavorful, served with piquillo peppers and artichokes to balance the flavor. The jamon was a generous portion and of excellent quality. However, the highlight of this meal (and also one of the highlights of all the food we ate in Spain) was the octopus. We knew we were in for a treat when our server seemed so happy that we ordered it and told us how good it was. It was a generous serving with potatoes on the side, so fresh and perfectly grilled with just the right amount of charred-ness. Thinking about it makes my mouth water. After all this fantastic food, it was time for the show. We were seated in the middle of the theater at the front of the raised section, probably one of the best seats in the house because we had a perfect view of the stage. On the night in question there were two male singers, two guitar players, a violin player, a male dancer, and a female dancer. All performed with such passion and emotion that it was a joy to watch. The show was everything I'd hoped for. I didn't want it to end. For me, choosing a place to watch flamenco in Madrid was a bit overwhelming because there seemed to be so many good options. So with all the excellent show options in town, I went with the one I thought would have the best food. My husband and I definitely were not disappointed. Highly recommended. read more

One of the best places in town to see a flamenco show. Casa Patas is a restaurant which has a number of salons for the performers. The main salon is the one on the floor where the restaurant is. This is where the flamenco show is hold. You may reserve the dinner and/or the show. The food and the drinks are all very delicious and definitely worth it. But the shoes are the reason people go to this place. To reach the flamenco salon you go though the restaurant which is decorated with the photos taken at various old shows. The same is true inside the salon. It has a traditional decoration, and the tabla (where the performers are) is a beautiful wooden board. Finally the show: the performers (dancers and singers) are changed every few days. They choose the most famous flamenco singers and dancers in the country so you won't be disappointed with the ones you happen to see the night when you go. The entrance fee includes a free drink as well. You can choose among wine, sangria, soft drinks, and a wide range of alcoholic beverages. Let's enjoy the show while sipping on your drink. read more

No question, the highlight of our Madrid trip. I took my folks to Casa Patas for our first time experiencing a flamenco show. We were curious and relaxed going in. We were awestruck and speechless when we left. Didn't do dinner here but seriously, the show was amazing. Our reserved seats were front row right in front of the stage. Every performer (from the dancers to the singers to the musicians) were top notch. They all exuded passion and emotion ... have never seen anything quite like it. The one downside of sitting in the front row was that we were periodically sprayed with sweat from the dancers. But in return, we got unobstructed views of the performance. Casa Patas is pricey (roughly 35 Euro per person). But it was absolutely worth it ... one of those things I'll probably always remember many years from now. read more

First time ever attending...amazing performances! Authentic, high energy, felt like an all star jam season by the evening's conclusion. Dancers, singers, guitarist show their craft and comraderie throughout. Highly recommend. read more

After dinner we went to see live flamenco to Casapatas. The show will get in your veins as the shows begins with voices and zapateos. It's a small place and it gets crowded, but if you make reservations you should be fine. If you give a little extra $$ to the waitstaff at the door they will give you the tables that said reserved. ( I noticed that is a trick they manage well to make an extra tip) don't sit on the first 3 rows unless you don't mind the spry of sweat from the dancers. Damn they can sweat! They offer tapas and drinks inside. Which we were not interested much for food but for Sangria and wine. I think this is an incredible spot to appreciate this beautiful art of Flamenco and Spanish guitar. Very romantic if you in "la conquista" of someone special. Great place for tourists. read more

€38 for the show, drink included, in November 2016, was well worth it. There were two vocalists, a percussionist, two guitarists, and two dancers (male and female). They were all excellent. There was a short solo guitar performance in the middle of the show. The show was ~1.5 hours including short intermission, and an encore performance with someone from the audience who presumably was a previous band member. The venue is intimate. The stage has barely enough room for the performers. For best results, look up their website for show times and call to make a reservation. No credit card needed, they only need your name, and number of people in your party to hold your seats. Then go there 20 minutes before the show. The 10:30 pm show ends at roughly midnight. read more

Such a fantastic place. The ambiance inside the performance hall is comfortable and very intimate at the same time. Reminds me so much of an underground jazz club. The performers we saw were amazing, I can't get over their performance and the music!!! The music was amazing. Every seat is a great and you get a free drink with every ticket. We didn't get a chance to eat here, but I will be sure to always visit when I come back to Madrid. Please check this place out, you will not be disappointed. read more

We had a great night here. We walked in without reservation and since we were an hour early, we had some appetizers and drinks first. Note: they charge for bread that they automatically placed in your table. Table was unsteady, the waiter tried to put a wedge to steady it - no success! Hey, we don't care that much. Food (calamari and octopus) weren't bad. Octopus too much huge sea salt though. Flamenco show - fun! And the performers look like they are actually just playing and having fun - my hubs and I said, we want their jobs! Great place to spend a night in Madrid! read more

The flamenco show was amazing! The singing and dancing were definitely a traditional tablao! Must see if you're in Madrid. Make sure to make reservations in advance to ensure good seats. The food and service were great as well. read more

I was trapped in Madrid with a credit card that stopped working. I would later find out that my bank froze the card, by not adding "Spain" to the countries I planned to visit when I notified them of my travel plans.Thank God my hotel bill was already paid. With 50€ in my pocket, I tried to make the most of my 3-day Madrid adventure. I ended up at Casa Patas with my limited funds. Fortunately, my American friends offered to keep my glass full of wine, which was the best part of this trip. The tricky thing about Casa Patas, (besides me not speaking Spanish), was trying to order a "dinner for one" off their menu. There was no conceivable way of ordering a complete dinner, unless I wanted to buy several dishes of food. How do single people do it? I didn't want to have to beg my friends for food, so I did my best to decipher the menu enough so that I got a balanced meal- which would likely be the only meal I could afford to get in Spain. I ended up with the Alcachofas Salteadas which was just barely in my budget. When my plate arrived, several rounds of artichokes swam in the oil on my plate. A tablespoon's worth of diced Iberio ham was sprinkled on top. I did share it with my friends, who in turn shared some of their other food with me, thank God. I'm sure I would have liked this experience a lot more if wondering whether I had enough money to make it back to the US wasn't an issue. I left what money I had, saving a couple euros for the Metro to the airport. Definitely the most uncomfortable dining experience ever. Lesson learned: Never travel without a bunch of cash, several credit cards, and friends who will share wine. read more

my review is for flamenco show and not for the restaurant. The show itself was great - it was short enough to keep your attention but long enough to get your $$ worth. You get a free drink with your tickets which was nice (otherwise the drinks are kind of pricey). The performers and band were great. Very impressed with the talent and thought it was pretty darn amazing in fact. That footwork must take a lot of practice and they were so coordinated! read more

The food and the show were both amazing! We had a cheese plate, the house wine, the lamb, and a swordfish dish. I wouldn't get the swordfish again because it was a thin piece, but the lamb was one of the best dishes I have ever had. The house wine was inexpensive and tasty and the service was great. The show had great guitar players, 3 singers, and 1 male and 1 female dancer. The night we went the dancers were both older (likely in their 40s-50s) but they still kept flamenco energetic and sexy. The male dancer in particular was incredibly talented. This is likely one of the more touristy shows, but it was still great. read more

It's beautiful show it's worthy paying to see flemenco. It's dance and muscle were really beautiful and dancers were top notch My show started at 12 am. And last 1 and half hours Beautiful and I recommended everyone to watch!! read more

This place was recommended to us by a friend who's a local in Madrid. I'm so glad we did venture out to find this more authentic Flamenco vs. going to the more popular ones in the city. The food was excellent. Service was A+ Best Sangria I've had ever!!! The Flamenco show was the only thing that could have made the amazing dinner experience any better. Beautiful Madrileñas & Madrileños danced their hearts out to a very authentic & energetic background of live Flamenco singers. This will definitely be our go- to Flamenco whenever we're in town. We look forward to coming back next time we're in Madrid!! Y Ole!! read more

Yelp came through for me again. This put our Madrid stop over the top! We came to the last show at 11PM I believe and loved that it ran long with the whole family coming out at the end. The dancing was passionate and incredible. Originally they had us seated in the back, but we asked if we could be moved towards the front and they told us that once it was closer to show time and some reserved tables were not claimed we could go up. 5 minutes later we are front row center! Great service with a smile, which is SOMETHING to hail in Madrid. Tip your waitresses well. Food was amazing, my wife ordered 2 appetizers which we shared and it was great. Everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked fantastic. Tip #1: Yelp had 50% off a Flamenco show. Check on "offers" because during the week I believe you can unlock this. Best savings of the trip, from $43 each to $22! With a drink! Tip #2: Instead of ordering individual drinks we asked for a discount on a pitcher of sangria which ended up being quite reasonable at 10 Euros (might have been a mistake on the billing). read more

Best flamenco I've ever seen. Spellbinding music. You get seats and wine, which is nice. Would recommend to anyone

Amazing Flamenco show. Stunning dancers equal to the musicians. The complementary drink however was a watered down sangria which left me with the opinion that the restaurant may not be as good as the show. read more

Absolutely stunning performance and energy, service isn't great but you're not really there to eat or drink. The show is worth every every euro/penny read more

Flamenco, this is it. Some of the best performer appears here. It's a great place to see, hear and absorb Flamenco for 2 hours. Check out the past performance on youtube. 9pm & 12am show cost 32 euro. read more

We came to a flamenco performance here but first we decided to have some tapas. Everything was excellent and reasonably priced, which is surprising since I expected them to rest on their flamenco show and provide average food at inflated prices. The show itself was fantastic. Better than I had expected. The service during the show wasn't great, we barely got our free drink into the 2nd half of the show. You would think they would want to sell some add on drinks (which I gladly would have done). However, that is a minor point - the show was so amazing I would have gone without a drink at all and enjoyed it. read more

This place is amazing! It was recommend to us by a local when my mother and I asked for a good spot to see my very first flamenco show. The show was absolutely breathtaking. It was nothing like I had ever experienced in my life. The walls of this restaurant/showcase are lined with authentic Spanish decor, including pictures and autographs of star Flamenco performers. I did not have the opportunity to eat here, but the drinks were pretty good. Just can't get over how inspiring this place was, I definitely recommend it! read more

A little pricey, but worth it! Almost all improv and amazing! Just go -- much less touristy (tho still filled with tourists), but just really good music and dancing (and even surprisingly, singing!) read more

The food was just ok, I'd probably skip that next time and just order sausage and cheese. We really did like the abondigas though. However, the flamenco show was top notch!!!!!!! Really enjoyed it! read more

This was one of my favorite experiences from the trip to Spain that we took back in April. As a part of the cost for the show, you also get a drink; I believe the choices are sangria and beer. The flamenco singing (which was actually a part of flamenco before the dancing) was amazing. You can see the musicians FEEL the music. Also, the camaraderie between the performers is also fun to watch. When we went to see the show, there were two male dancers and a woman. All of them were great. Definitely worth seeing. read more

Amazing place! Flamenco performance at its best. Kids friendly, as we came with our daughters 7 and 3 yo, dressed in flamenco dresses, of course! We were all taken by the performance so we came back the next day. Owner/manager admitted the kids the second day for free without us asking. Very nice of them! Will be back when in Madrid. Ale! read more

Love this place!! We called a couple hours before the show and reserved seats last night. We paid 38 € per ticket, which included a drink. At first we thought this was a bit pricey but it was totally worth it, the singers, musicians, and dancers were amazing!! Totally recommend watching a flamenco show. Staff was friendly! Call earlier for best seating! read more
