La Venencia

Top choice in Madrid


La Venencia is a barrio classic, with manzanilla (chamomile-coloured sherry) from Sanlúcar and sherry from Jeréz poured straight from the dusty wooden barrels, accompanied by a small selection of tapas with an Andalucian bent. There’s no music, no flashy decorations; here it’s all about you, your fino (sherry) and your friends.
