The Sherry List at La Venencia

La Venencia

Whether you are a sherry drinker or just love old school traditional bars, having a drink at La Venencia is a must. Locals have been drinking sherry here since before the Spanish Civil War and the dust on the wooden casks most likely dates back to those days. Fino, manzanilla, oloroso, amontillado, palo cortado -- those are your drink options and nothing else, just sherry. No producer names to select from either. Your tab is written on the wooden bar in chalk and each glass sherry is served with a little snack of chips, olives, or almonds.

Restaurante El Padre

One of the unique places to experience oversized Spanish versions of a gin & tonic. Alexandre Gabriel, the maker of Citadelle Gin, recommends this family-run restaurant for their large selections of gins, rolled around the room on a dessert trolly.
