| Just horrible. Why would anyone go on holiday in Spain and seek out the closest equivalent of a city-centre Wetherspoon?. And it's a rip-off. steppedup - 22 Mar 2010 16:52 |
| I'd forgotten just how unpleasant small, smoke-filled rooms can be. O'Donnells is not a pleasant place, and there's nothing really Irish about it - even the Guinness ads are in Spanish. There's no real ale on, and only 2 Irish beers (Guinness, naturally, and Kilkenny Red). In fairness, there was a decent selection of whiskey. The Kilkenny was served almost freezing and at �5 a pint was not good value for money. The decor is plastic and the barman didn't speak English (or Gaelic). There was no music on when I visited so I can't comment on that, but there was certainly no party atmosphere, just a lot of very Spanish people being loud and unwelcoming. If you really must go to an "Irish" bar in Madrid, the one on Calle Fillippe III (near Plaza de Mayor) is much better, but there are much better Spanish bars nearby. ETA - 11 Feb 2010 06:43 |
| Don't be put off by thought of going to an Irish Bar in Madrid - This place is very lively once it warms up after midnight, plays decent music, serves massive doses of vodka and is full of women of many nationalities on the pull. Just watch out for the English Language teachers from Oldham though. TheGP - 31 Jan 2005 16:57 |
