La Buena: Rock ‘n’ Roll with A Glass of Wine?

Bar: La Buena
Calle Espiritu Santo, 38
T: They don’t have one yet
Hours: 21:30-midnight; Wednesday-Sunday and you should be OK

Located on Calle Espiritu Santo 38 in barrio Malasaña, La Buena is a new, slightly confused, rock’n’ roll-y bar. I say confused because chandeliers, leaf wallpaper, and (what looks like) the Virgin Mary on their business cards, don’t exactly go hand in hand with the rock’n’roll groove. The place smells new and the bar area is trendy, but otherwise it reminded me of my university canteen. The crowd is young, definitely local, and everyone seems to know everyone, so I’d slot it in as a cool pre or post dinner drinks place. You might be interested to know that downstairs they have a lounge area that, at the moment, is only available to rent out for private parties.

Open since June this year, they haven’t yet got their opening hours or closing days sorted; so if you go after 21h and before midnight any day from Wednesday-Sunday, you should be fine.
