wandering the streets of Madrid all day I was looking for hot food, cold drinks, and a place to sit down. Not sure how we ended up here, but it turned out to be exactly what we needed. The service was quick and attentive and the whole place reminded me of an old Irish pub, the type where you know everyone who frequents there. We grabbed two cold beers and the flautas appetizer to share. The flautas were perfectly seasoned and fried, beautifully sitting on top of homemade guacamole. I wanted to scrape the plate to make sure I got all of the delicious sauce off the plate.. but my manners kicked in at the last second read more

La Jauría - Beer! - Tapas Bars Near Me - Madrid, M

See all

If I could give this place 0 stars, I would. Horrible discriminatory people - AND 2 are brown (bartenders) and 1 blonde (waitress). I'm pretty sure they did something bad with the food I ordered, by the way each staff kept looking back at me. The whole environment was strange and uncomfortable. I was SO hungry after walking around Madrid all day, and this restaurant was just a few blocks from my hotel. My friends actually live on the same street as La Jauría. It was 9:00pm (21:00) and I wanted eat at a Spanish/Tapas restaurant, but I was solo that night. I was told that places have been better at take-away since the start of the pandemic. I went to one popular place, but they were to busy to accommodate me. The next place I found on Yelp was La Jauría. The front bar was very busy, being a Friday night. I went to the bar and asked if they had take-away (in the best Spanish I could). The dark haired woman looks at the waitress, and looks back at me; says No. as she smirks with a patron in front of her. I leave and try to Burger & Beer place, only they had a 15 minute wait and I was getting so weak. So- I walk back into La Jauría, smile and say I'm dining in. There was one table with 2 Americans eating, and another group that was Spanish. It was very empty in the back dining area. With a few small tables later in the night. I know it's not typical for Spanish people to see a single diner and also to eat a big meal for dinner. But with jet-lag and walking so much, I ordered a Bison Burger and Salad with Goat Cheese and Cranberries. I see the bartender staff jump around after my order was place, running back and forth to the kitchen and giggling. I could TELL someting was wrong. And it's very sad to say that I was experiencing a lot of coughing (and some spitting) around me, when walking around - it became very obvious that the is majority country has a lot of fears from the Covid Pandemic. It took a little while for my food to come, which seems typical culturally. My Salad came out and it was a very big portion and actually very good. The goat cheese bites were wrapped in phyllo dough and fried, there were candies walnuts, tomato, balsamic drizzle. However most of the salad was Frisée with just a little bit of baby lettuces. It was a bit hard to eat, but I was SO hungry and needed some vegetables, I didn't care. The front bar area started filling up a lot and seemed like a young crowd. I didn't see too many tapas orders though. My burger came out 10 minutes later. The presentation looked great, fresh cheddar on top, a toothpick holding open the toasted bun. Leaf lettuce and bit slices of tomato on the plate, it also included hand-cut fries, and an artful smear of ketchup. I forgot that burgers are cooked more rare in Europe and this was under medium-rare. The first bite taste great- fresh chopped bison of beef. I noticed the staff at the bar staring intently as I started eating the burger. It all felt so strange. I ate around the sides of the burger. Some bites tasted a bit gritty. About halfway through, I'm chewing and I notice something and pull out a short blonde hair from my mouth. I see the staff behind the bar laughing. I stop eating and look underneath the meat, it's totally burnt and looks like something was smashed onto the bottom and then seared. I look at the bun and it's also burnt. I stop eating and return back to the salad. During this, the American couple in front of me also ordered a lot of food- guacamole, flautas, and more. (I guess this place is actually American cuisine leaning.) The waitress was very nice to them, the other bartender (guy) went over to them with the check and I see him staring hard at my burger, while standing at the table in front of me. I don't see any other reason to continually stare at the back of the restaurant. I look him in the eye and he looks away quickly. I see him look back at my plate again. The whole meal was about €30. I paid and left. I knew something was off and my stomach was strange the whole night. DO NOT GO to La Jauría if you're tourist. Especially an Asian tourist or person. Horrible people. Horrible place. I heard that they had a fire recently - must be karma. read more

Located in the "hip" Avant Garde District yet only minutes walking distance away from main tourist area, La Jauría is top notch. Food variety is excellent and quality does not disappoint . We had the pork tenderloin and the cod and both were excellent. Accompanied by a wonderful glass of red wine for the princely sum of 2.4 euros. Total check with 2 bottles of water was 35 euros. You won't eat as well for this price in any major city! read more

Todo mal. The Waitress was maybe angry? I don't know and throwing everything everywhere. The food a shame. The back of the place smells like putrid food everytime someone opened a door at the back... So yeah I had an indigestion after that. The drinks aren't that bad BUT can be better ... read more

It's so hard to find a place in Malasaña that is serving meals as "early" as 7:30pm (most spots will offer just tapas and drinks until they begin dinner around 8:30/9:00pm). Needless to say, my father and I initially chose La Jauría because it was quite literally the only sit down restaurant that was serving entreé style meals in the area. Both my father and I were extremely impressed. To start, we shared kangaroo skewers, which were cooked perfectly tender, and the mushroom risotto, which was rich and flavorful. For entrées, we had the "atún con sésamo" (sesame-crusted seared tuna) and the "magret de pato" (duck) with orange, honey, and prune reduction. The tuna was cooked to perfection, and the sesame was a great touch. The duck was everything you'd want a duck dish to be. It simply melted in your mouth. Although not cheap, I would say the prices are quite reasonable considering the quality of both the food and the service. I highly recommend La Jauría, and will be back myself! read more

Very cool and fancy, in La Chueca! Not full (weird) and no tourist (also weird), because I really liked it. The wine is very very not expensive (I mean I live in Paris and one glass is not less than 5€ so..) Great choice! We didnt eat there. Only drink. The sangria and tinto de verano are good! I truly recommend (for a drink) read more

We ate here tonight, because we were starving at 6:30 and wanted more than the local tapas. This place dis fabulous! The mushroom risotto was superb, the duck melt-in-your-mouth and the pork tenderloin medallions with theory reduction tender and literally mouth watering. Their tapas was excellent too, but if you want that extra something and larger portions, this is not to be missed. read more

we had dinner and were very happy with how delicious everything was. we first had a ravioli with mushroom inside that was so delicious, then really liked the pincho de langostino that was fried shrimp served in individual glasses with sauce to dip. we also saw a dish served to another group that was a small piece of meat wrapped in a ham that was spectacular. read more

This bar is lovely. Great drinks and a fun atmosphere. Which is why it was very weird that one of the staff - a woman bartender - made fun of my accent when I said thank you and goodbye after paying for mine and my husband's drinks. Her colleague apologized, but it was totally bizarre after spending what was otherwise a nice afternoon there. read more

This place said they had a brunch menu on Saturdays on their website only to tell us it only on Saturdays.
