About
Hemingway found refuge here while dodging bullets during the Spanish Civil War. Grace Kelly, Frank Sinatra, and James Stewart sipped cocktails on the couch-like booths. In fact, the Museo Chicote has been attracting a celebrity clientele since its inception in 1931, making it the most famous cocktail bar in Madrid. Having recently undergone renovation, the art-deco bar is enjoying a sort of Renaissance, thereby reclaiming its top spot in the Madrid nightlife scene. The sophisticated venue is popular among the young, hip and creative crowd, who arrive around midnight to sip on Mint Juleps and Singapore Slings, while swaying in time to the live music & DJ. This bar was also voted for the 'Best European Bar 2004' by MTV-Campari.
