Macera

Tucked away in Madrid’s vibrant Chueca neighborhood, Macera has carved out a reputation as the city’s premier destination for gin enthusiasts. This intimate bar specializes in crafting spirits in-house, giving them complete control over the flavors and quality that end up in your glass. The atmosphere shifts throughout the evening, offering two distinct experiences depending on when you arrive.

If you’re looking for exceptional gin and tonics, Spain is already the right place to be—but Macera takes this beloved drink to another level entirely. Their house-made spirits form the foundation of cocktails that are both sophisticated and approachable, making it easy to understand why locals and visitors alike keep coming back for more.

The bar works particularly well as a pre-dinner stop when you’re craving a quiet, refined drink in stylish surroundings. But if you’re in the mood for something livelier, swing by around 1am when the space transforms into more of a late-night scene with energy to match. It’s this versatility that makes Macera such a valuable addition to any Madrid itinerary.

Whether you’re planning a first date or simply want to experience some of the best cocktails the city has to offer, Macera delivers on both ambiance and quality. Just be prepared—once you’ve tasted their gin and tonic, the ones back home might never quite measure up.
