Bar Milford


There's a lot of exciting cuisine to be had in Madrid, but let's face it, sometimes you just want a classic experience.  If you're up for a retro bar in Salamanca, then look no further than Bar Milford.  You'll see men in suits with slicked back hair, old ladies with fur coats and expensive purses, and bartenders who know how to pour a stiff "Gin Tonic" into a Spanish goblet! 

Seriously, if you're in the mood for old-school Madrid, then Bar Milford is a good choice for an early evening drink.  Beer and wine are fine, cocktails look even better.  With your drink, you'll get a nice spread of tapas.  On a recent night, we had a bowl of chips and two different tapas, one with jamon and one with tuna and tomato.

The raciones are somewhat expensive, and frankly, uninspiring.  Save your money for another round.  There is a full restaurant up the spiral staircase, although we think you'd be better off heading somewhere else for dinner.  But, for a glimpse into the the well-heeled lives of Salamanca's elite, Bar Milford is worth a visit.  And, don't worry if you forgot your Prada -- somehow everyone fits right in.
