This 1940s taberna near Sol maintains its vintage tile work, wood paneling, and traditional vermut ritual. The corner bar serves classic Madrid tapas like boquerones (marinated anchovies) and conservas (tinned seafood) to a crowd that hasn't changed much in decades.
Go for vermouth hour (1-3pm) and order the house vermouth with an olive and the boquerones en vinagre.
