BalmoralCocktails in a posh setting
Address: Hermosilla 10 - (Valle de Cuelgamuros) 28001 - Salamanca Madrid
Nearest Bus or Train:Serrano
Open Hours:Noon-midnight M-Sa
This bar opened in 1955 to provide a relaxed atmosphere where an upmarket clientele could come and enjoy elaborate cocktails in peace, and it has not changed much since then. The drink list offers more than 100 different cocktails to choose from, including the Balmoral, Bullet Shot and ubiquitous Bloody Mary. It has won Newsweek's 'Best Bar In Europe' prize twice, in 1987 and 1988. It is strangely decorated in Tudor style with red and ochre colours dominating the walls, floors, tables and chairs. Nothing so tasteless as background music will disturb your sense of tranquillity in here.
