The best beer bars in Spain, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and Eater have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Agarimo comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Madrid.

Rank 1. Agarimo
Modern Tavern
Two beer barrels mark the entrance to this small Galician tavern in the always-buzzing Ponzano stretch of Chamberí. The kitchen calls itself an Atlantic tavern and takes zero-waste cooking seriously, though the menu reads more like a laid-back sharing spread than a manifesto. Galician wines dominate the list, the bar has seats if you want them, and the name itself is a Galician word for affection, which sets the tone pretty well.

Rank 2. Bar Trafalgar
Beer Bar
The bravas here come stacked in a mille-feuille, which tells you something about how seriously the kitchen takes bar food. Bar Trafalgar is a modern Madrid tavern in Chamberí that managed to absorb the soul of the old-school places without the taxidermy. Draft beer and classic cocktails anchor the menu. Smoked butter and anchovy toasts do a lot of convincing at the bar, where the view of the after-work crowd makes the seat worth claiming early.
