Del Diego

Chueca


Del Diego is one of the city’s most celebrated cocktail bars. The decor blends old-world cafe with New York style, and it’s the sort of place where the music rarely drowns out the conversation. Even with around 75 cocktails to choose from, we’d still order the signature ‘El Diego’ (vodka, advocaat, apricot brandy and lime).
