Café Central

4.1 ·

Settle into Café Central, Madrid's much-loved jazz bar, for an evening of live music and good company. Order tapas or a cocktail, then let the musicians set the pace as the night unfolds.

📖

Full description

Café Central is a bar in Madrid's Centro district built around live jazz, with tapas, cocktails and comfort food served alongside the music. It recently moved to a new location, and reviewers say the new room keeps the intimate, inviting mood that made the original popular.

A sidewalk terrace adds a casual option, and queues at the door are common on busy nights. It works well for couples or small groups who want an evening of music and a relaxed dinner or drinks rather than a loud club night.

Reviews

Walked past a few times, always queues. So decided to go. Not into Jazz, but what a show. Definitely converted. Great bar, fantastic music, atmosphere something else, staff amazing. Definitely recommend for any jazz fan
