Just off Calle Navas/Rosario
"The Globe Place"
This is an enduring favourite - a buzzing bar full of locals, excellent and friendly service, quirky decor, loos larger than the average London flat, superb tapas and a wonderful location. Many happy hours and much vino blancos have been consumed on numerous visits to this welcoming and gastronomically special place.
Inside, the bar area is all dark wood furniture, decor made of used bottles and wine crates, and quirky touches, such as the enormous globe situated by the entrance to the loos. And what loos! Spacious, decorated like an Italian pastiche, and always well-supplied with paper (sometimes a rarity). There is a restaurant area at the back, but the tapa is too generous for us ever to have needed to order food. The service is friendly and once, when we exhausted their tapas repertoire, we were asked to choose our favourites as we continued. The wine is excellent and far too drinkable.
Example tapas:
Hot lomo (thin-sliced grilled pork) on bread
Hamburguesitas (mini pork hamburgers) and homemade chips
Ensalada Rusa (fish, egg and potato cold salad)
Meat stew and chips
Something delicious that was effectively a homemade Findus Crispy Pancake
