The enormous popularity of this long, narrow cruise ship style bar tells you everything you need to know about the tapas, but it also means that he who hesitates is lost when it comes to ordering. Elbow out a space and demand, loudly, chorizitos, patatas bravas, solomillo (cubed steak) or atún (tuna, which here comes spicy). The beer (its storage, handling and pouring) is also a point of great pride.

Working at the Hotel Arts 9 days, and ate here 4 of them. Not pretentious, local-to-the-core, but not rude to tourists. Friendly, efficient, delicious and cheap. If you don't drink tap, try the housemade bottle "Port" (a medium-bodied brew). No English, but pointing works great.
