Casa Labra

About

Casa Labra, an emblematic Madrid pub established in 1860, sits a stone’s throw from the bustling Puerta del Sol. Renowned for its enduring tradition of tapas—especially fried cod and tuna with tomato—Casa Labra offers a unique mix of bar‑style standing service and a cozy terrace overlooking the city. Its interior preserves a nostalgic décor that harks back to the early 20th century, while the modern outdoor terrace provides a relaxed setting for both locals and tourists. The pub’s historical significance is further highlighted by its role in the founding of Spain’s Socialist Workers’ Party by Pablo Iglesias in 1879, adding a touch of political heritage to its culinary appeal.
