This traditional old bar is one of the best in Madrid. They have tablecloths in the back but the commotion out front is more fun. As well as being experts in traditional tapas, they also have the best beers and vermouth in town. Try amazing seafood, cecina (matured, air-dried meat) croquettes, garlic prawns, boletus (mushroom) with ham and egg, baby squid with onions, Madrid-style tripe with chickpeas and/or the braised oxtail. The clams in Sherry feature little bits of ham and baby asparagus.
