The Best Bars in Madrid for Solo Travellers
Just because you’re travelling solo, it doesn’t mean you don’t want to experience Madrid’s legendary nightlife. But when it comes to choosing which bars to visit, the choice can be staggering. Discover some of the best bars to check out if you’re a solo traveller in Madrid.
1. Café de la Luz
Bar, Cafe, Spanish, Coffee, European
This laid-back café has a quirky vintage theme and is open all day long from breakfast time to late night cocktail hour. This means its clientele is varied, and includes many people going solo, whether they’re enjoying a relaxing coffee or working on their laptops. The chilled out vibe and friendly staff make it a welcoming spot if you’re on your own.
2. Casa Camacho
Cocktail Bar, Snack Bar, Cafe, Spanish
3. Bodega de la Ardosa
Bar, Pub, Restaurant, Bodega, Spanish, Tapas, Wine, Beer
Another bar that is often standing room only, La Ardosa was founded in 1892 and is said to have the best tortilla de patatas (Spanish potato omelette) in Madrid. Grab a spot at one of its high tables and enjoy a chilled beer or vermouth. As well as tortilla, it also has a decent menu of tapas classics so is a good spot if you fancy a bite to eat in one of Madrid’s most historic bars.
5. The Hat
Boutique Hotel, Budget Hotel, Hostel, Hotel
The ‘secret’ rooftop terrace of The Hat, a boutique hostel just off Plaza Mayor, is a great place to meet fellow travellers or just to enjoy a beer or cocktail in the sunshine. Cocktails are served in bags (the new jam jars?) and food options include delicious tortilla de patatas (Spanish potato omelette) and a range of toasts, served with a shot of gazpacho (Spanish cold tomato soup).
6. Cervecería Alemana
Cafe, Bar, Snack Bar, Spanish
