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.

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.

The hotel is centrally located and a comfortable walk to public transportation, making it ideal for someone who wants to be in the middle of it all but far enough away to have some peace and quiet. The neighborhood in the area is filled with cute shops and restaurants that are some of the tastiest places in Madrid. The vibe of the hotel is IG worthy. The courtyard and walls are gorgeous and filled with beautiful tile. Everywhere in the hotel feels like a bit of a movie. The beds are also perfect for regenerating yourself on vacation. Even the travel adrenaline was no match for the perfect mattresses. Finally, the service is incredible. The hotel staff is attentive and very plugged into the city. We got a coveted reservation at Ten Con Ten during peak hours with no problem... and when it was harder for us to the find the right place, the staff worked to make sure that we got a quality reservation. If you're visiting Madrid, I highly recommend staying at this Only You. It's worth every euro.

Though listed as a gay bar, and it does have a good number of young (as in 16...forget that the sign says you must be 18.....) to 25 year old gay guys in it, it also seems to attract a near equal number of heteros out to party with the female dates. After all, when it comes to liveliness, there are few places that can compare with a good friendly bar loaded with a mix of gays and straights as well as those of undetermined orientation. It has a young following and though I exceeded the average age of the other patrons by a mere half century, had a good time drinking and chatting with everyone. Matter of fact, the atmosphere about the place is sort of club like, everyone friendly and just there to enjoy a good time.
