You like ironic tattoos, empty glasses frames and bikes a little too much? Got a girlfriend in a t-shirt with its sleeves cut off and half her head shaved? Pitchfork not fresh enough so you turned to the Hype Machine? Your people have commandeered Casa Camacho. Went in there on a Saturday night, was shown this place by a friend, and it was wall-to-wall hipsters. Amazing, like they were exhibited in all their glory in their natural habitat. Casa Camacho is indeed a dive I'd fondly refer to as a "s**thole", at least on Saturday night past midnight. It's got a long, narrow foyer where all the patrons stand, lean and drink. A long, dingy bar bisects the area and the candy-striped bartenders race back and forth on a platform, pulling Mahou into little glasses. The specialty of the house is the Yayo, which I had to explain to my Spanish friends is a Cuban slang for "cocaine". The drink is half vermuth and half gin, and goes for like 1.50. My instinct is to be snarky about it, but it's actually kind of tasty. Hipsters, I liked this place. I'll go back. You, however, will LOVE this place. It will jibe with your aesthetic and social sensibilities. Oh, and a tidbit of history while you're thinking of further gentrifying Madrid's old red-light district: there's a certificate on the wall in this place, tar-stained as the cornices, that says Casa Camacho was recognized as "classic Madrileño"...in 1974. Like you and your friends, it doesn't get much more original than this.

Can't believe they didn't raise their rates and that's what makes this place more personal and special. You can still get a glass of wine or beer here at under 2 Euros and the food is fairly decent. Highly recommend their grilled squid as this was my favorite. The tuna salad and salmon toast with cream cheese were tasty as well but more the standard. Come on in and relax a bit. It's worth every penny!

If you sit outside, there is a very small markup on the tab. I sat at the bar alone, and despite being a social place where people generally go with a group of friends, it wasn't awkward at all. You order a caña (small beer) and one tapa off the menu of 22 choices. (What restaurants call tapas in the States are really raciones, smaller plates, which they also serve here.) Tapas are included free with the price of a beer. So you can drink and fill up and try different things. I had the mini fajita de pollo y verduras (chicken and vegetables), which had a slight spicy flavor I've been missing. It came with a few fries and mayo sauce. Then I quickly ordered a second (you have to order before 1130pm, which is kinda early here). Next I had the filetito de ternera con salsa chimichurri (the popular pork fillet on a slice of baguette, served with housemade potato chips). Each item is bigger than an hors d'oevres, think three or four bites. You could stay here for a few hours and be quite content. The place is bustling and the staff are energetic and fun. People gave the bartenders a bit of change (tipping isn't customary) because they do hustle between rounds of drinks and tapas. Total tab before tip: 3 Euros ($3.26 at the current exchange rate). Seriously.

Door and drinks were good. Most staff was nice.

More so just to relax than for the taste of the food. Alas, that is why this place only deserves a four star rating at best. While the tapas come in hearty quantities, it is the lack of "sabor" that ruins the experience. Along with that, the television for the football is remnant of the early 2000s. So Riri, why the four stars? Atmosphere, atmosphere, atmosphere. These type of bars are what you for find anywhere but in Spain. The treatment is excellent and you do not leave a dent in your wallet. Come with your "compis" to enjoy life and live in the moment. I'll update my review once I eat off of the menu. Until then. ¡Aproveche!

Just a reminder that portions are small since these are tapas! We ordered three for two people -- tostón hawaiano, velas d'arrós negre and bombitas de camarón. We also ordered two bottles of water and two glasses of wine (I got the rosado-sospechoso '15 cuenca). The tostón hawaiano was my favorite tapa, and the bombitas de camarón was pretty good as well. I was not a fan of velas d'arrós negre--it literally tasted like styrofoam. The wine was good though!
