Las Carboneras tablao flamenco

WOW. I could not say enough for this performance. So beautiful. Incredible. The musicians and vocals were beyond amazing. The dancers clearly had a deep knowledge of this art form and performed passionately. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. The staff and management, so friendly and kind. 💯 yes. I am grateful to have witnessed.

I always make it a point to watch traditional dance performances in every country I visit. This time, I was really looking forward to seeing flamenco in Spain — but sadly, the experience was quite disappointing. A tour group arrived 30 minutes late. The staff had to take their orders during the show, and the group was loud the entire time — including noisy children. It was impossible to fully enjoy or immerse myself in the performance. Such a pity, because the performers on stage were truly passionate and professional. They even politely asked the audience to be quiet, but it didn’t seem to help much. The performance itself deserves 5 stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️, but the overall experience… only 1 star⭐️. I was really looking forward to the flamenco , so it was a big disappointment — but definitely not because of the performers. They were truly amazing.

The MOST AMAZING PERFORMANCE IN MADRID. I cannot describe to you sufficiently the incredible level of musical talent of the singers and guitarist, and the utter PERFECTION, POWER, BEAUTY, and UNITY of the dancers. I will never forget this experience and feel forever changed by it. Believe me when I say you would regret it if you visited Madrid and did not include this in your time here. A HUGE thank you to all who performed with your whole hearts and souls- I felt it deeply.🥰

This flamenco show was spectacular. The emotion of the performers moved me to tears. They explained afterwords that they improvise 90% of their show, so you are guaranteed a unique experience. The service was excellent and the staff so attentive! The venue allows for an intimate experience, with excellent views of the performance. Highly recommend this wonderful show!!

Absolutely fantastic. The performers were wonderful and the show itself was riveting. Kudos to the friendly and attentive staff as well for contributing to such a memorable evening. Highly recommend!

We reserved dinner show and went little early, that gave us one of the best seats. When you choose the menu from 3 kinds, everything on that page will be served!! You can drink as much as you want, foods were covering the table!! Show was just amazing. The dances were most passionate I’ve ever seen but the guitarist and singers were spurring the dance. Actually I was in tears watching the first dance. The last time I cried was Swan Lake by Ukrainian famous ballerina. My husband who never enjoyed any dance shows except our kid’s recital, said he was impressed. Thank you very much for the great time❣️

Had an amazing time at Las Carboneras. Instantly I was greeting by an amazing gentleman and felt very invited. Before the show I was served some tapas and drinks before the show commenced. The performance was amazing and opened my eyes to the traditional Spanish culture. I really liked how the dancers spoke about what they do after the show both in Spanish and English which helped me to understand more about the dance style. I’ll definitely be back next ime I’m in Madrid, thanks for having me!

My friend wanted to see Flamenco while we were in Madrid and I saw Las Carboneras had great reviews on multiple sites, so we reserved the performance. We decided to splurge and also get the dinner. We were seated right in front of the stage, although I'm pretty sure any seat would have been good as it's a small venue. We had salad and tapas, appetizers, main course, dessert, endless drinks and everything was so good! I was glad I had skipped lunch that day because there was so much delicious food. They did have options for vegans and vegetarians as choices when I reserved and my vegetarian main dish was amazing. The staff was wonderful. The show started and the dancing was spectacular. The performance lasted just over an hour and all of the dancers and musicians were great. We definitely got our money's worth and I would go again when I return to Madrid.

A flamenco bar that served a very limited variety of tapas. Each table had a pitcher of cold sangria which was enjoyable but a tad sweet, also red wine. The flamenco performances were enjoyable but I wish we could have stayed for the entire night, but unfortunately our group had to leave right at the intermission. The tapas were pretty unremarkable and heavily touristy potato dishes - croquettes, fries and a layered potato and egg dish. Plus one ham and cheese plate. We had waiters come frequently and they were attentive until the full crowd of customers started streaming in.

This was my first flamenco experience and it was amazing. I get it, I have nothing else to compare it to but the flamenco aficionados I accompanied verified my affection. The entire event, from the four course meal to the actual show, lasted a little over two hours. You can partake in the show without dinner; however, I suggest you enjoy the full experience. The entire event cost 65€ a person but don't worry it's worth it. Here's the set menu - drinks: sangria, wine, water, and assorted juices. - first course: salad, sliced jamón, and cheese. - second course: pincho tortilla, bread, and croquettes. - third course (main entree): green peas, fried potatoes, and tender cubed beef in gravy. - forth course: a slice of creamy cheesecake with strawberry sauce. All of the food was delicious and perfectly proportioned, and the timing of it all was seamlessly intertwined with the show. Know that this is an establishment that caters to tourists. The waitresses are extremely nice and speak English. The entire venue is large and seats more than what I've heard other venues do. The announcements are in Spanish and English and even the flamenco dancers speak English. Flamenco is incredible! At the end of the show, the flamenco dancers tell you, in both Spanish and English, a little about what they do and why. Flamenco is a mixture of passion, power, and grace. It's absolutely kid friendly; however, depending on the age they might get bored. What I found interesting is that these flamenco dancers neither rehearse together nor really know each other. The entire show is impromptu, which is unbelievable. Also, the dancers and musicians rotate weekly. Put all this together and you have a different show every time, even if it's the same performers. Overall, the entire experience was top notch. I will definitely be treating family and friends to this venue whenever they visit. If you live here or are visiting, you can't go wrong with this dinner and flamenco show. Enjoy!

Really enjoyed a flamenco performance at the Carboneras. We booked at late performance for 42€, including 1 drink and some snacks. They also have packages including a meal. The performance lasted about 1:15 and featured 4 flamenco artists and a guitar soloist. The venue is small and intimate and service was friendly. It's located conveniently, a block from San Miguel Market. If you've never seen a flamenco performance you must. And I highly recommend the Carboneras.

My husband & I booked a dinner & show. The food was delicious and staff very friendly. The show was fantastic. it's a group of individuals who have not rehearsed a specific routine together . They each have the freedom to be creative and express themselves through their movements . I was very impressed and felt like dancing myself . I'd probably trip and fall but the energy had me wanting to move . The music again is not rehearsed. The vocalists in our case (2) gentleman go with the dancers movements and guitarist strums along in perfect timing . I will highly recommend this show . Good food, great service and excellent entertainment.. I kept saying Wow! Wow! bravo !!

Our group had a wonderful time! The dancers are lively and engaging. Having drinks and tapas while enjoying Flamenco is a great way to spend an evening in Madrid. I loved the story the dancers told at the end of the show as well explaining why they do this amazing dance they love so much. I highly recommend!

Went to this show with colleagues. It was great and they explained it's mainly improv at this show vs a theatre show. Some people just went for the show, we had the dinner as well which was good (appetizers, drinks, main dish, and dessert - well worth it I thought). Recommend booking in advance!

My family and I had an amazing experience watching these passionate dancers do their thing. The emotion, expression and force of the dances was breathtaking. We were lucky enough to get seats directly in front of the stage, and my two older teenage daughters (both of whom are dancers) were enthralled by what they saw. So glad we decided to seek out this unique experience and enjoy a night of true Spanish culture right in front of our eyes.

Really enjoyed the experience here. Dancing was great, was nice to have a unique experience that we couldn't have many places in the world. We liked all the appetizers that came with our dinner and the included drink was appreciated too. Definitely something I would do again. Too they had several staff that spoke English, but it wasn't as though the entire crowd was English speaking either; a nice mix in the crowd.

This is a small venue and club centered around the art of Flamenco dancing. We went here one evening while in Madrid for a show. They serve dinner but you can opt just to pay for the show. With the show, you get a single drink. I had a soda, but several people had sangria and they all said it was extremely weak. If Sangria should be good anywhere, it should be good in Spain. The seating inside is pretty compact and some people had a hard time seeing over other people since we were seated at long tables. The Flamenco started with no explanation about the style of dancing, so if you are interested in the background, do a little research about it before you see a show. The performers (dancers and musicians) gave it there all. They were stomping and dancing around the small stage for about an hour. Each dancer had a slightly different style and a different costume, so that made it interesting. I was always interested in what the next dancer would do. They get a serious workout as they dance, as they were absolutely dripping in sweat. Overall, I enjoyed this experience. We paid about 30 € a person for the show and drink. It's something to do once, but I can't see doing this more than once. Go and see a Flamenco show while in Spain!

We ended our night out in Madrid with a Flamenco show at Tablao Las Carboneras. It's not a large venue, but it has a nice intimate vibe. Be sure to get there early to get a good spot by the stage. Our tickets included a drink. (alcoholic or non) Be sure to use the bathroom before or after the show. They consider it rude if you get up during the performance! Oh and it gets quite hot inside after all the people pack in! Dress up, but wear short sleeves if possible! The show was incredible! There is so much passion and intensity in their performance. The music is full of soul. A truly wonderful performance by talented artists. It was a perfect ending to our visit to Madrid!

Amazing show, amazing service, ok meal. I would highly recommend this show (just eat earlier at the near by Market).

These people can put in a show and it was passionate to an extreme. Talking to the guitarist it's all improv, the guitarist bases his playing on what the signer does and then the dancers interpret this into a story with their dance. The "feeling" and emotion to which they dance really shows you how videos do it no justice. They also do dance classes for students on group tour here.

Concluded are evening Flamenco Tour with show at this location. Fantastic small venue very close to dancers A wonderful experience

"Si Si!.... Las Carboneras! Flamenco y Dinner!! You are here! Just down the alley, you will see senoritas!" our taxi driver said enthusiastically as he dropped us off in a dark alley in the middle of nowhere! ...As my friend and I turned the corner, however, we saw the neon light above a red wooden door and went in. We had gotten a deal as part of our trip package from the travel agent which included a 3 course meal and all you can drink Sangria with the flamenco show. I think it ended up costing us about 65 euros each for the evening. The Sangria was more like Punch, but it was bottomless, so it took us a few glasses to get in the mood. The food was mediocre; bland chicken and a simple salad. We definitely had better throughout the rest of our trip! Plus, we were so preoccupied by the flamenco show, that we forgot to eat as soon as it began! Ohhhh but the dancing!! The Dancing was simply Diviiiine!! Very authentic; full of such raw passion and emotion!! Each dancer brought to their solo something truly unique and entrancing! Not to mention how lonnnng the show went on as well! You really get your money's worth! Basically, what they lack in culinary skill, they make up for tenfold in artistic display!! What I would recommend is NOT getting a set 3 course meal and ordering what you wish off their menu.

Very warm and friendly staff.. Helped us with our menu change requirements on spot...

Wondeful place to watch Flamenco dancing. The food was very good as well. I had tortilla, paella, potato croquettes, and a chocolate cake. Each was fantastic. But the dance show made it the best experience for a restaurant of my three week stay.

Outstanding service, food was excellent show something to see that will remain in your memory of visiting Madrid for ever and make you come back on your next visit

Hello, Please can i have a picture from the Menu to know the kind of food you serve and the prices? Thank you.

Las Carboneras is a fantastic small venue (tablao) to see flamenco in Madrid. It is centrally located (Sol Metro, just past Mercado de San Miguel). Easy to find! Dinner is delicious, and the paella is excellent. The owner is very hospitable. The show draws you in with its intensity and emotion, and the dancers, singers and guitarists work as an incredible team. I actually returned a second night and saw a different set of dancers. Fantástico!

This rating is for the flamenco dancers. The place is small and intimate but can fit about 100 or so people. The dancers were good, especially the 3 females. The female singer was good also. One of the dancers was absolutely beautiful, but I digress.The dancers were animnated, excited and very engaging. Price for just the show is 30 some bucks and you get a drink with that. Eat dinner earlier somewhere else. The dinner and show price is $66. The food is mediocre at best. Bring a camera and enjoy the show.

Nice show, but it lasted only an hour. We booked through our hotel an we got a better deal for show and drinks. Only to find out at the end that we had to pay 6 euros for a glass of tap water. Friendly staff, at the end eve the waiter danced flamenco. I would recommend it but keep an eye on the charges.

espectacular show! espectacular service! amazing taste! if i ever go back to madrid i'll go back to this place every time!

Las Carboneras... Only given a day and a half to see the sights, we stumbled upon this place. Our Dr. Sanchez said the place touched him with an aura, so I went with it...the Dr. has approved. The story that unfolded watching these performances was nothing short of breathtaking. Perhaps it was the performers this night that made it so special, however they set it OFF from the first song, to the last dance. This is truly an art of soul, and magnificence if you are willing to believe the history, the heart, and power in this craft. Lovely and transformative. Growing up, I remember the band Spain, and his BLUE MOODS OF SPAIN. But why so meloncholy, Josh Haden? :) I believe a visit through the Goya wing at the Prado, drifting through the Mercado San Miguel with friends and tapas, and a finale at Tablao Las Carboneras bring together a story of Spain that is haunting in its weight, passion, and vision of the Spain I did not expect to see.

We couldn't get reservations at any of the popular clubs. We just wandered and came upon Los Carboneras. We got in for the first show. We had no expectations and were pleasantly surprised by the entertainment and the food. Of course we were more into watching and taking pictures. the entertainers worked very hard. It was certainly worth the cost.
