80. Tue 1/4/17: La barro del teatro, Madrid

Beer: Mahou 5%

Right next door to the theatre in the square and apparently owned/staffed by Indians, which is odd but good to see.

Mind you, it is WAY too hot in here. The pub is wide and open (not airy), with a single bar pump serving Mahou.

Disappointingly the tapas are pretty standard fayre – would it be too much to suggest Indian food? I could kill a curry (upon my return to Blighty, I kill two in two days). There’s a smell of curry coming from somewhere – it smells lovely, and makes me feel homesick.

There are big queues for the theatre outside. Not sure what’s on – there are giant billboards for two shows outside (I should have photographed them). The queues die down by the time we depart.

  1. How does the Pub team get to spend so much time in exotic locations?!

  2. TPK spends a good deal of time in Spain. I think he's trying to be one of those gammon people you hear about. While over there, he enjoys the different watering holes much more than the limited delights of the local beers. So he bar hops.

    I try and discourage so many Spanish sojourns, but my efforts are wasted.

    Contributor CJ enjoys exploring Britain. He's our Welsh, Scottish and part of the London team. There's nothing Scottish on the blog yet. There will be.

    I've so far contributed Luton and London, although I've been slightly further afield. Just waiting for the random number generator to throw them up.

  3. TPK explains his Spanish adventures, very eloquently, here: https://allthepubsever.blogspot.com/p/spain.html
