If you ever find yourself wandering through Madrid’s buzzing Malasaña neighbourhood, do yourself a favour and follow the sound of clinking glasses and the scent of fresh mint straight to Alegrías La Mojiteria. This little gem isn’t just a bar; it’s a mojito paradise with a side of seriously delicious food.
Mojitos That’ll Make You Say ‘¡Salud!’
Let’s talk about the real star of the show, the Mojitos. At just €5.50, they’re not only a steal but also some of the best we’ve ever had (and trust us, we’ve had a few). Whether you like yours classic, fruity, or with a bit of a twist, they shake up perfection in a glass. One sip, and you’ll understand why regulars rave about them.
Tapas That’ll Tantalise Your Taste Buds
But wait, there’s more! The food here isn’t just an afterthought; it’s a full-blown flavour fiesta. We kicked off the evening with a round of tapas, including thinly sliced Parma ham (because who can resist?), a photogenic egg creation that looked fancy and tasted divine, and a generous helping of nachos with guacamole because life is simply better with avo.
Each bite felt like a love letter to Spanish cuisine, bursting with flavour and made with genuine care. To top it all off, they surprised us with a complimentary appetiser; clearly, they know how to win hearts.
Vibes, Location & A Splash of History
Stepping into Alegrías La Mojiteria feels like being wrapped in Madrid’s warm embrace. The décor exudes cosiness, the ambience is lively, and the staff elicits a sense of familiarity. Tucked away on Calle Corredera Alta de San Pablo, 6, it’s the kind of place you accidentally stumble upon and never want to leave.
Malasaña has a rich history It was once the heart of Madrid’s countercultural Movida Madrileña movement in the ‘80s, where artists, musicians, and rebels brought the city to life. It’s still buzzing today, and this spot fits right in with its mix of old-school charm and modern cool.
More Than Just Cocktails
If you’re feeling extra peckish, they’ve got a Menu del Día for just €10.99, including dessert or coffee. That’s a deal that’s hard to beat in Madrid! One can expect an enjoyable experience, whether they stop by for a quick bite, enjoy a leisurely dinner, or participate in an extensive mojito gathering.
Final Verdict: Get Yourself There!
Alegrías La Mojiteria isn’t just another cocktail bar, it’s an experience. Whether you’re a mojito lover, a tapas addict, or just someone who enjoys great vibes and even better drinks, this spot deserves a visit. We’re already planning our next trip for lunch (and let’s be honest, another round of those mojitos).
