Sara In-Madrid

New spot to hear the latest Brit pop and party til the sun comes up. It's inside Sala Bogui in Chueca, and the crowd is hip without being pretentious.

This place is so great in the summer...it's a rooftop bar with good little tapas and cool people. If you want a break in the middle of a sunny day take a book and some sunglasses and look out over Lavapiés.

All Sushi, All the Time

OK. If you want sushi, and I mean REALLY want sushi, go to Kindalo. It's got one of those rotating serve-yourself bars, and for a scant €16 you can literally eat until you burst. It's amazing. Every time I go there I probably eat at least €60 worth of sushi, not to mention the noodles, rice, chicken and pork dishes, salads, soups and desserts. The selection isn't that varied, but at that price, who cares? call for reservations, it fills up during the week and you're left standing at the door with your mouth watering.

One of the longest-standing herbivore establishments in the city, with a menu of standards such as organic gazpacho and vegetable paella. You can get filled up for around €10 and wash everything down with one of their fresh organic juices. Try the house specialty grilled vegetables -- the aubergines alone will make you forget about steak.

The 'Berg might be the greatest bar in Columbia, which is full of fun spots for university students. It's full of tradition, and many MU alum think back fondly of memories of nights spent here (if they can remember...)
After it burned down in 2004, the rebuilt bar is better than ever. It's got a great terrace, cheap drinks, and the best Bloody Marys in town, not to mention a great brunch for football Saturdays.

There are three great reasons to go to El Juglar. 1. The excellent djs, who spin funk and soul from yesteryear. 2. The flamenco on a Sunday night. 3. The curry houses opposite -- the cheapest and best in the city.

Supercool indie and pop music and a kitschy design gets everyone tapping their feet at this bar in Malasaña.

Thai-riffic

If you're tired of tapas, and the greasy Chinese places aren't doing it for you, try Siam, which is near Plaza España and close to Malasaña. The menu del día is €11, and if you go for dinner you can try heaping portions of pad thai with shrimp, chicken or beef. Try some Thai iced tea for a real treat, and if you can't decide what to order, there is an appetizer plate with four selections of dishes that i sperfect to split between two or three. It's not really that crowded, but call in advance just to make sure.

A Bit of Everything...

When Malasaña gets too much at the weekends, cross Noviciado to find this gem of a venue, split between a cosy bar and an even cosier live space hosting lo-fi international groups and the best of the local underground.
