La Venencia

Very nice place with authentic atmosphere. Do not be discouraged by the generally unpleasant waiters as they are part of the experience! The best time to come is slightly after 19:00.

Great selection of sherry wines here. Create your own little tasting menu and also add some tapas . Ernest Hemingway did the same during the civil war.

If you wanna feel like Hemingway , come here. This place looks as it came out from Spanish Civil War. You can ask Manzanilla only, and no pictures or tips are allowed. Full story: http://goo.gl/mJ1RSj

The best hidden bar . Walk in and order sherry at the bar and some snacks — chorizo , manchego and olives . No photos, no tipping and no spitting.

It's a no frills sherry bar . But good sherry , well chilled. You can get simple nibbles, olives , cheese etc. But nothing other than sherry . Manzanilla , fino, amontillado, oloroso etc. Great atmosphere

Feels like inside one of Perez-Reverte's books : dusty barrels of manzanilla , rustic walls, silent, a bit tired bartenders , cat sleeping on a shelve. And above all of these dark intense taste of sherry

Atmospheric bar (but photos are banned). There are 5 sherries and a small list of tapas/raciones. Gets busy soon after opening so get there early!

"There are 5 types of sherry , but I prefer the lighter manzanilla . The “media botella”, which costs € 6 or € 7 (depending on the type of sherry ), gives about 6 small glass fulls." Read more

Incredible ambience, no music , you get that old wood smell once you step inside. I had half a bottle myself and loved it. Sorry about taking a photo:)

Awersome place. 5 types of sherry , no photos, no tips, bill written in chalk on the bar . Must do

Just wonderful! Cozy , quiet , beautiful and reasonably priced. No wine or other drinks - just sherry . Also, THERE'S A CAT... AND A DOG!

An incredibly atmospheric jerez (sherry ) bar , that Hemingway used to come to. If you want a dry jerez go for the fino, for something less dry - oloroso.

Go here if you like old liquor bottles covered in dust, and sherry . You're not supposed to take pictures; probably cos of health & safety laws, and the dust. I took a covert pic of el gato. Sshhh!

It feels like while you are drinking your vermouth and eating some olives , Hemingway could step in at any moment with bunch of bullfighters.

Very cool Hemingway bar serving only sherry ! Historic, with incredibly old bottles of liquors .

Five types of sherry , half a dozen tapas , no photography . We skipped dinner to stay there longer!

The people working here are more interested in creating some mystique about the place than making customers feel welcome. The sherry selection is fine. The meats a bit better.

Wonderful place, stopped in time with the most artisan jerez ! Great as an after dinner stop by

Iconic sherry bar in central Madrid. Looks like it hasn't changed in years - and the prices haven't either. Very traditional. Just don't try to take any photos - they aren't allowed!

Great place. Very busy and inexpensive . NO PHOTOS!

Tried each of the sherry options on menu (5 total). A couple were okay. Patrons seemed like regulars & were indifferent to unfriendly. Service was okay. Got yelled at for trying to take a photo.

The Cortado has a lovely hazelnut nose.

Don't take photos. Don't tip. Don't ask for anything other than sherry . But also don't ask for sweet sherry . Take care not to sit on the camouflage black cat when the light is low.

Great place to sample a variety of sherries

Cecina, anchoa and Palo Cortado

Have the cured fish and some lovely sherry out of the cask .

Extraordinary choice of Jerez

If you like real dry, chilled sherry . Manzanilla , fino, amontillado, oloroso. Dry and cold. But nothing else. You gotta go.

Awesome sherry bar - palo cortado with some salty nuts takes some beating

No photos. No tips. Nothing but sherry . Respect.

Doesn't sprak English, or won't try. No Explanation when unfamilliar with old (sherry ) wines .

Madrid’s temple of sherry

Just get a glass of sherry from the barrel.

Autentico!

Sherry / brandy place, secret one. You should stop here for a drink. Very authentic .

No photos allowed! What?

Muy recomendable la tapa de huevas y de vinos el palo cortado y el oloroso . Del tercero y cuarto vino paso de opinar....estaba demasiado pedo ;)

Para acompañar el Oporto amartelinado una tapa de atún añejado y para los más atrevidos la tapa de hueva de Maruca, saborvy textura diferentes.

Обязательный пункт программы при визите в Мадрид! По мне как один из лучших баров в мире, вкусный херес и непередаваемая атмосфера

Прекрасное место, но сюда нужно приходить пораньше. В 9 вечера не сели. Стояли за баром. Вино местное. Белое прекрасное, красное - очень крепкое. Оч колоритное место!

Muy buena selección de jefe. Las aceitunas que ponen de aperitivo son una delicia! Muy diferentes a las que sirven en los demás bares

БЕСПОДОБНО! Всем любителям хереса обязательно к посещению. Буквально разбили сердечко!

Antiguo y hermoso bar de vinos de Jerez en el centro. Sirven vino fino , oloroso , amontillado directo del barril . Camareros bordes pero así mola màs. Alguna tapita rica también para acompañar.

Lo suyo es pedirse media botella de amontillado , en plan conservador... luego otra media botella... y luego después.. :-) Deliciosa cecina y mojama . Un lugar (y un gato ) especial 100%.

Impresionado salí de su aspecto antiguo, tétrico y melancólico. Parece un sitio dinde se congregan poetas. Los camareros siempre con sonrisa. ¡Gran descubrimiento!

Consíguete a un local la variedad es grande no sabrás qué escoger. Este si que es un lugar con historia.

Für Sherry-Liebhaber ein MUSS! Für alle anderen sehr sehenswerte Bar . Die Rechnung wird noch mit Kreide auf den Tresen geschrieben.

Una mojama única, cecina deliciosa, el queso maravilloso, lo mejor, pedir varios tipos de jerez y probar...

Estuvimos probando varios tipos de "fino" y muy buenos y a buen precio! El bar es una reliquia y cada rincón esconde algo

Oporto oloroso y de manzanilla acompañado de atún añejo con almendras . Sabores fuertes , diferentes y que te dejan recuerdo.
