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