WORLD'S50 BEST2021TOTCSPIRITED2017
The World's 50 Best Bars 2021, No. 84 (51-100). Top 10 nominee for Best International Cocktail Bar at the 2017 Spirited Awards.
Alberto Martínez's Malasaña bar takes its name from 1862, the year Jerry Thomas published the first cocktail book, and the room honors that lineage with a subtle speakeasy feel, minimalist decor, an intimate downstairs and one of the city's deep spirits collections. The Cantaloupe Gibson, pisco, cantaloupe, manzanilla, grapefruit bitters, rose water, shows the range.
