"What a wonderful place. It is worth spending a good time in the bar, seeing people come in and out of all kinds and condition, eating a good squid sandwich and taking a reed. My father recommended it all my life and when I've been in Madrid I haven't stopped going to take my snack and what would get stubborn. It's just as little of the spider that didn't get obsessed by the cleaning, the one that gave you a good and a lot of food, the old waiters who knew what they were doing. if you go for madrid, pass by the bright, in front of the atocha station, almost in the corner with the atocha street and the promenade of the meadow."

I usually like to wonder around and find things away from the tourist attractions, so while walking around i wondered into this large open bar and thought

It is worth it, but eye with the prices of the terrace! in the bar you cost the reed 1€ but on the terrace 5,50€ and everything else takes a great increase of prices.

one of the things you can't lose when you go to Madrid, as well as visit countless places, is to eat a good squid sandwich. the bright bar, opposite the atocha station, serves one of the best squid sandwiches in the city. highly recommended! View menu

one of the most classic bars of Castizo madrid. one of those places you should try for the story that the place has behind. many rations of all kinds and snacks of all life. specialty: the mouth of the squid, well! yes, the prices are not cheap located in front of the atocha station.

I know the most famous of the shiny are the squids, but I propose another omin: the breakfasts. Although it is a little more expensive than other sites (3'30 for a drink of orange juice toasted with tomato caf the truth is that it is a different experience. with a spaoles waiters -of those of before-, having breakfast in the brightness is like traveling to the madrid de cuntame.

uf is difficult to escape to the atmosphere of the bright, the most chaste mouth of madrid. Whether it's the aguerrid smell of fritura or the parish that walks there is one of those places that when you have a Madridn morriña (which also exists) you have to visit the ritual is simple. stool (better), small (it's yours) and the celebrity snack (not snack) of squids. If I close my eyes I can imagine that strange combination that is an inspiring visit to the queen sophia accompanied by a no less nutritious round in the bright other squid! Hearing kitchen. !

I've been with three friends at the bar the brilliant in front of the atoche station, on March 1, 2015, while waiting to catch the train. We sat on the terrace, giving the moeo queen sophía and nailed us 17 euros for 2 beers and two cans of coke tail. less so rude they are that they asked us for the money at the time they served us, otherwise we had asked for another round. and possibly gave us a heart attack. around there are other bars with reasonable prices. for example a can of coke 1,25 euros; or 3 and a beak with a snack. The attention was also lousy. Anyway, a big disgot before we go home.

the kindness of the waiters shines by their absence, we will not ask them to smile to oted, but also not to face the price of acelga of authentic timo in madrid, 4,5€ for a soda, but if it comes out cheaper to go to the hotel or palace to the ritz. appetizer for four people, a bag of chips of the little ones, I do not know that you will get in the next round, a small bag of the next round already with 6 people, two bags, to take off. Unfortunately we have lost a historic place in Madrid, with what has been, I recommend not to go, there are many other places, which at the same price have much better service or even cheaper.
