In the tunnel basement of Café Oliver, one of Chueca’s most fashionable restaurants, this bar has a ready-made clientele for pre- and post-dinner drinking in Madrid. However, EO has established a loyal following in its own right, thanks to its classic surroundings, superb cocktails and funky vibes.

Earlier in the week, you’ll find elegantly dressed couples sipping champagne and making small-talk on suede couches, then from Thursday to Saturday DJs pick up the tempo with some choice tunes.

Gorgeous-looking staff grace the bar at one end, expertly mixing cocktails and adding to the overall chic, up-market feel. Whether you’re eating upstairs or not, this place is one for a special occasion.
