"Opened in 1922 and hardly updated since, La Venencia, a storied sherry bar by Puerta del Sol, is a living piece of local history. The cobwebbed oak barrels, vintage bullfighting posters, and sepia-toned walls transport you to the hardscrabble Madrid of Ernest Hemingway—the bar's most famous regular. The bone-dry pours—citrusy finos, delicate palo cortados, and nutty amontillados—are invigorating, palate-bending aperitifs that'll have you wondering why you didn't hop on the sherry train sooner." - Benjamin Kemper
