Malaspina
One of the best bars in Puerta del Sol is Malaspina, a great place to go for an informal drink and some delicious tapas. The atmosphere is authentic and the food is on point. They also have a good selection of wines, and diners who like red wine should try their Ribera del Duero. The sangria is tasty too, and comes in a jug, perfect for sharing. The value is great for the quality of the food and for the location of the tavern, which is unbeatable.

This bar has been around for so long that it has become a landmark in the Puerta del Sol area. The menu is based around different shrimp and king prawn recipes, with their specialty being the gambas al ajillo, shrimp with garlic, olive oil and pepper. La Casa del Abuelo also serves other typical Spanish tapas, such as patatas bravas, morcilla and Spanish ham, so those who are not especially fond of seafood do not have to miss out on the great atmosphere at this century-old bar.
