When visiting Madrid how do you know which Flamenco show to see? There are so many. I was searching and searching and for the right price and reviews this one came to our liking. We reserved online and opted for just the one drink per person which came to 30€. It is very easy to find by Plaza Mayor. There were five people in the show. A man and a woman dancers and two singers and a guitar player. The dancers where full of passion and were exceptional. As well as the others. But you are coming for the dancing right! They even had one small portion where they had women and children come on stage as one of the dancers taught some moves. It was super cute an fun! The crowed loved it! Small and intimate setting. We opted to order two extra drinks and paella. The bill came to 82€ for two people, which is less than opting for the 60€ Meal per person. Sangria and most drinks are 5€. I highly recommend coming here!!! Absolutely loved! read more

La Taberna de Mister Pinkleton - Steller show! - Tablao Flamenco Near Me - Madrid, M

Amazing show! They interact so well with their guests and each other which made the show more amazing and entertaining. It's a cute Lil hole in the wall style tavern and they said it is one of the oldest places with flamenco shows. The inside looks super old school and nice. A few cons, the chairs are super uncomfortable. They are made of straw and after a while, I was hurting lol the tables are quit small as well which caused some accidental spills due to the lack of space. Other than that, it was a great place to visit! I would recommend it to anyone in the area! read more

La Taberna de Mister Pinkleton - Dancers - Tablao Flamenco Near Me - Madrid, M

Phenomenal performances and speedy service. Booking online was a major plus and they actually call you to confirm your reservation, which was reassuring at the time. My wife and I had a blast here and were blown away by the performances and the great service. Their cuisine could use some work, as the paella and a few of the other tapas we had were subpar to what we had been accustomed to throughout our travels in and around Madrid. The location of La Taberna is also a major plus, just a short 5 min walk from the Mercado San Miguel. The pricing is just right and I would definitely recommend catching the flamenco show here.

Amazing performers with beautiful voices! I was intrigued by the beautiful dresses and wanted to experience a flamenco show. Thankfully found a Groupon which made my experience even better. After watching the show, I would even pay the full price without the Groupon. For 35 euros, you get 90 minutes worth of performance along with snacks and a drink per a person. The sangria was filled up in a large wine glass and was delicious. read more

I had been searching for the perfect Flamenco show and our wine tasting tour guide actually suggested Mr. Pinkleton. I'm so glad we listened and made the reservation. The show was phenomenal! We booked an "early" show at 7:30p, so we could grab dinner nearby in Plaza Mayor after. They do have a dinner and a show ticket or just dinner and drink. No matter what they give you some snacks to go with your drinks. It's a very small venue but we got lucky and sat front and center to this awesome show. The service was fast and great & didn't interfere with the performance on stage. The dancers and singers put on such a great show and I will return for another show next time I'm in Madrid! read more

A flamenco show is a must in Madrid. We decided on Mr Pinkleton based on the other positive reviews. The show was amazing, the dancers were passionate and extremely talented. The singers and guitarist were great, you can tell how they all enjoyed performing for a crowd. The food was ordinary but I don't think people anticipate getting amazing food, I'd rather go for the amazing show. Docked one star based on how uncomfortable the chairs were. Probably one of the worst I've ever sat on, I knew after the first minute otherwise great place. They had three shows per night, options include show with a drink, a show with half bottle of wine and snacks or show with dinner. read more

Truly one of our most memorable evenings in Madrid! My wife and I were on a month-long driving adventure through Spain, Portugal and Morocco. We ended our travels in Madrid. We were seeking an authentic Flamenco performance for our last night and our hotel concierge thankfully recommended this terrific venue. We were enthralled by a most impressive 2-hour show with a brief intermission. The theater is casual and intimate, so there isn't a bad seat in the house. About half the attendees were locals and the others tourists. Guests can choose the show with or without dinner service. We wanted to focus on the performances and were glad we decided on just cocktails (the first drink is included in the ticket price -- for two people with 2 cocktails each about 80 Euros with taxes ). This was not the typical canned money grab show for tourists. The performers were all consummate professionals and displayed a genuine passion for their art. I came to learn that most Flamenco in Spain is done by independent artists rather than traveling intact groups. Much like professional jazz musicians, each performer has attained a high-level of mastery and knows well the standard repertoire. The performances are often spontaneous and can even be without rehearsal. Wow, my wife and I were in genuine awe of the flair, speed and accuracy of the guitarist, the percussion, the vocals and of course the dancers. Absolutely amazing performances by all. A most impressive experience we will be talking about for years. Highly recommended. read more

It was a Monday night so the place was very empty at the 11pm show, but despite this, the show was pretty good! I would expect on Mondays they don't have their absolute best performers there, but it was a good show. It lost some of the energy because of the lack of people, and the show wasn't as good as what we experienced in Seville, but overall was a great experience. It's worth going to! read more

So glad we got to experience this. A friend suggested that we check out a flamenco show while in town. Since we've never been to one, we had no idea what to expect. From the reviews on TripAdvisor, we decided that La Taberna de Mister Pinkleton would be a good mix of family friendly and intimate setting. We opted for the 25€ option (drink and snacks, but no dinner) for the adults and 5€ for kids. First impression is that the place is very small and dark. The chairs provided are kiddie size small, so comfort is not a priority. Overall the ambiance does provide a private show feel. The show is where this place shines. The guitar player and the flamenco dancer were crazy talented. The singers were super passionate. I teared up just feeling the emotions and wished I could understand the Spanish they were singing. The girl next to us who spoke Spanish and has taken flamenco classes said that the quality of the performers were very high for a place that some considered a tourist trap. Overall, a fantastic experience. They went around and gave us wine shots from a canteen and got a few of our group on stage for a flamenco lesson. Highly recommended if you're even remotely thinking of doing something like this! read more

La Taberna de Mister Pinkleton - Tablao Flamenco Near Me - Madrid, M

This place has a really nice intimate show. We were seated in the third row, which was perfect for us. We had really good appetizers, and a tray with assorted nuts. Regarding the show: We really liked the Guitarrista, and the male singer was excellent. Both of the women dancers were very very professional and it was amazing how they were perfectly in time. We were entertained the whole time, they did some fun audience interaction, and our table service was good! There are more expensive shows near by this venue, and as we were only in Madrid for a week, we didn't check out the others. This one was perfect for us, we didn't have to buy dinner to see the show. It's right by Plaza Mayor ~ where there are multiple dining choices. read more

I went here completely unexpectedly. On an evening out with friends we got chatting to some people who had reserved seats and were heading to the 11pm show. Since none of us had ever watched Flamenco we decided to tag along, and were glad that we did! We headed over to Plaza Major and, after some negotiation with the doorman, an extra three seats were found. As we went down the steps into the bar we were greeted by an atmospheric little venue with tightly packed rows of tables really close to the stage and lots of bold colors. The crowd seemed to be a mix of tourists and locals, largely Spanish-speaking, all waiting eagerly... By the time we had found our spot and gotten a round of drinks, the performers had arrived. They were five - three dancers, a guitar player and a guy playing some kind of drum that looked like a box (which I'm sure has a particular name, but I am clueless as to what that might be!). The dancers took it in turns, sometimes dancing in pairs. And for 90 minutes or more they kept us enthralled! Their intricate footwork amazed me, everything was delivered with incredible energy and passion, and the music and singing were fabulous. Simply watching them was exhausting! Towards the end a few of the crowd were invited onto the stage and given a quick lesson, which they absolutely loved. All in all I firmly recommend this if you're interested to experience Flamenco. The staff were prompt and friendly, but it is busy, so don't be afraid to give them a wave if they haven't spotted you! Compared to other similar bars it's reasonably priced (25 Euros with a drink), but we did find that once we ordered a few extra drinks the bill started to grow pretty quickly. I believe there are two or three showings per evening, so give it a go! read more

First and foremost I had never been to a flamenco show so I did not know what to expect. If they get better than this I'm not sure I'd live through it!!! It was so intense and full of passion as gusto. The dancer was extremely confident and led the musicians and singers throughout the entire show. With a click, stomp, and shimmy she commanded our attention. With a demeanor worth writing a review over I could not take my eyes off of her. She flirted with the crowd, built up the energy and used it to amaze everyone. The male and female singers were also amazing in their own rights and the guitarist?....fantastic. I learned flamenco was influenced by Afro Caribbean culture and a few others. The easiest cultural connection I can make is to tap dancing or the Spanish version of a breakdancing cypher. Someone made a beat and sang and someone danced. Most of it seemed improvised and that was what I liked most. I'm glad it wasn't this pre-packaged thing tourist get sometimes. The drinks were strong and the food was good! I loved everything about this experience! Not so humbly submitted, Michael C. read more

Amazing experience! The dancers and musicians are out of this world. The staff is very nice and helpful. I will definitely come back.

Have to start that I was very impressed with the show and the setting . It's been 5 years since I seen a flamenco show , and this one surpassed my expectations. The setting was intimate and small, to where you can actually enjoyed it to the max . The service from beginning to end was on point !! A drink was included with our purchase, but was so good and felt just perfect that we eventually had more than we plan .. overall great for the price and the experience !! read more

La Taberna de Mister Pinkleton - The setting was just perfect .. - Tablao Flamenco Near Me - Madrid, M

Good show and if it's your first time at a flamenco dance, definitely worth the ticket that includes a drink.

Cool little flamenco venue. Intimate show with great performers. A must if you're in Madrid!

This place was just so much fun. The musicians, singers and dancers are so amazing. If you are looking for a reasonable priced tablao that is going to give you an insight of Spain please visit this place, you won't regret it! read more

Great show , Great dancing and singing did not disappoint and got a chance to dance on stage with wife for quick lesson ... very entertaining and passionate dancer and singers! Food is average read more

my husband got a haircut at the barbershop next door and we truly stumbled upon this place halfway through the first show of the night. the guy at the door said that for 20 EUR each (usual admission) we could stay for the second half of the first show and the entire second show. we are massive flamenco fans - and i have to say that this was one of my favorite tablaos that we've been to. amazing camaraderie between the singers, dancers, and guitarist - you really can feel it. food was underwhelming and over priced - but i always say you can't be great at food and flamenco.... so i'm glad they chose flamenco. wine is 5EUR a glass (about 2.5x what you can get it for outside.... but at least the first glass is included) and excellent. were there tourists here? yes. of course. but they weren't the typical tourists that people who avoid "touristy" tablaos are trying to avoid. trust me... i'm ever seeking to run away from "those tourists." was a super mixed and respectful crowd who truly appreciated flamenco as an art. Ornella and Lydia both have beautiful movement and passion in their dance and voices. Juan on guitar was massively talented. Juan Carlos the male dancer had some of the most complex footwork i've ever seen and he pulled it off without a hitch. excellent flamenco. amazing atmosphere. would love to return. read more

Show was exceptional! Went to the early show though & had a group with small children in front of us that was a bit distracting. If I were to go again, I'd probably go to a later show:) read more

This place is amazing in Plaza mayor. A must see for a flamenco show. The ambiance is romantic. The wine list appealing to those who are winos like myself. Tapas are great! read more

The sangria is just bad. Their wine isn't great. The service is abysmal and the show mediocre. There really isn't much more to say...

What a fun experience for our family. We really enjoyed watching the Flamenco dancers and listening to the music. Great atmosphere & would recommend this show to anyone visiting Madrid. The length of the show was just over an hour which was a perfect amount of time for the experience. read more

I'm not exactly sure just how authentic the Spanish flamenco is, but the show was great. Th8e tables are squashed together and the place was packed out. We were sitting near the stage and had a perfect view. The food was good too. the show lasted about two hours which was just right. A must do in Madride read more

My second time here and I just love it. The quality of the entertainers and their passion during the performance makes it a very special experience. It's not worth eating here because there are so many better options around the plaza, we came just for the show and drinks which are generously poured but on the expensive side. read more
