Manero Marqués de Cubas opens, the most stylish new bar (and restaurant and karaoke and speakeasy) in the center of Madrid

Manero Marquis of Cubas It’s a box of surprises. The establishment brings together up to five different areas, all connected by the French decoration of Lázaro Rosa Violán by the Apple Tart Interior Design studio, which is in charge of all the projects of the restaurant chain, for which the design and setting of their premises is an issue that has as much weight as the food, the staff or the music (their bathrooms They are already mythical, because Chiquito de la Calzada’s jokes sound there, as is also emblematic of his photo boothalso present here).

Upon entering, the first thing visible to the customer is a large bar with two bars -one more gastronomic, with an exhibition of its sausages and seafood from the best brands, and another of cocktails, from classics to signature ones- and a series of high tables.

The establishment that Manero opens behind the Thyssen, with its 450 square meters entirely covered by rich textiles, wallpapers, custom furniture, beautiful lamps, handmade mosaic floors, carved woods and original coverings of the meticulous decoration, incorporates the clandestine spaces that Bosch loves so much. The first, a soon-to-open bistrowhich will have an intimate and elegant atmosphere (with grand piano and live music) and a bar dedicated exclusively to caviar, an element that threads all of its gastronomy.

But there is still more. Manero Marqués de Cubas already includes a Club Manero Dom Pérignonas an ambassador of the house that it is, which has another small bar and a corner paying tribute to Julio Iglesias, among other unique elements. And it also offers its clients a private room reserved for particular events and a karaoke to finish off the night.

Our brand comes to redefine with style the concept of a Spanish bar with the highest standards of atmosphere, gastronomy and design,” says Bosch, who began his journey in the sector in 2008, when he opened El Portal, one of the most successful restaurants in Alicante.
