Cervecería Santa Bárbara

We meet with a couple of friends we haven’t seen in a while and we had an awesome time. All the food was delicious, we had the pleasure to count on waiter Nasser attending our table and he provided us the best suggestions: Tortilla española, Berenjenas con miel and Torreznos, all of the dishes were amazing!

Very busy restaurant on the Plaza Santa Barbara, Madrid. Being a single diner, they managed to squeeze me in. The set daily special is €14.50 for two courses, excellent value. Highly recommended.

We sat inside having read all the recent bad reviews of the slow service sitting on the terrace. (We can understand why as there is insufficient waiting staff and for much of the time we were here only one person behind the bar preparing the drinks that had been ordered.) inside the service was better but you still had to gesticulate wildly to be served. The b/w interior is unusual for Madrid and makes for a change. The tapas was an acceptable standard. The anchovies were very good, the bread dry. Overall not special enough to make a return visit.

My boquerones fritos were not fresh and they cost nearly 16 euro. The service is suboptimal too. Good location

A lot of history, very Spanish. Never disappoint you. This is a very local experience. Fabiana, the waitress, assisted us wonderfully. She is THE asset for this brewery. Try the Pulpo a la Gallega was amazing.

Nice food and good attention from staff. Only negative was the drunk homeless person that walking around the tables asking for money, it made the experience a bit awkward, especially after we gave him the rest of our coins but then he kept coming back again. Though please understand that isn’t a reflection of the restaurant, more of a reflection of this barrio.

It is a place where you can have large gatherings. The tapas were great but quite pricey and because the place was crowded you have to wait a bit before they take your order.

First time in Madrid and my boyfriend decided to show me this little gem. We were actually not yet ready for dinner but in we went and ordered the tinto de verano. Interestingly the second order of this tinto was served in a much larger glass. Quick and friendly service, food was good and portions were decent. We ordered 1/2 raciones to mix and match a bit

Terrible. Dirty glasses. Horrible service. Just don't come here. Basically the WORST place we have been to since we moved here.

Inattentive, rude staff, slow/no service. The bill was incorrect (charged for 3 glasses of wine when we only had 1) and when we tried to straighten it out the server's response was "that is not my problem, it is your problem!" There are too many good/great places to go...do not waste your time here.

Nice location but very grumpy staff. Jamon iberico is sliced too thin and no bread but you're eating here for the outside location

Nice easy neighborhood place. I frequently stay in this neighborhood (Chamberí) and I like to try out different places. This is a busy, popular place with a large outside terraza, but also a pretty large interior space. It was cold and windy outside so we went inside and had a nice evening. I don't like beer very much, so I had wine, but I understand that the beer is good. We had a couple of media-raciones (half servings) of nibbles. The chopitos - tiny fried squid - are excellent. Nice place, good service, and i'd recommend it more than some of the others on that strip.
