Bars in Madrid: Chill Bill

Although the area around Plaza de Castilla is known for its many upscale bars, there are exceptions, and one of them is Chill Bill. Like it’s name this bar is less uptown and more downtown. With two floors there’s plenty of room; however, the downstairs is normally used for live shows. Beers cost 3-4 Euro and Cocktails are 6 Euro. The bar itself is definitely hip. Checkered floors, red lighting, and bathrooms covered with comic strips draw a more artistic, musical, and low key crowd. There’s plenty of space to dance to the selection of indie, pop, rock, funk, hip hop and reggae music. The second Thursday of every month they host “Noche de Micro Abiero” with some of the best artists around, and two Saturdays out of every month they have an open mike specifically for hip hop battles. If you sing a song during the open mikes you get a whiskey, for free! So if you live around the area and are looking for something different, or you want to try out a new neighborhood then definitely check it out.
