Madrid loves a bar and loves its football, so almost any room turns into a sports bar when Real Madrid or Atletico are playing. The ones worth seeking out do more than leave a screen on. They show the right leagues, pour a proper pint, and fill with a crowd that actually cares about the result.
This is the shortlist of ten, from a singing Liverpool corner in Malasana to a huge pub near the Bernabeu and an American football room in La Latina. We picked them on which matches they reliably show, the screens, and the atmosphere on a big night.
Irish pubs and the football faithful
Madrid's Irish and British pubs are the easiest place to find the Premier League and a partisan crowd, and several open early for overseas kickoffs.
01
Triskel Tavern
Malasana€€Reds Home, Every Match
A cosy corner near Tribunal, Triskel is the Madrid home for Liverpool supporters and pours Guinness, Paulaner, and Kilkenny under several screens. It feels a world away from the big faux pubs, and on a Champions League night the room sings.
Game day: Get there an hour before a big European kickoff and find a spot near the main screen.
02
The Irish Rover
Tetuan€€Near Bernabeu, Big Screens
A short walk from the Bernabeu, the Rover has poured pints since 1995 across a huge two floor pub with big screens and live music. It fills before and after Real Madrid home games and shows the major leagues all week.
Game day: A pint and a burger before walking down to the stadium.
03
La Fontana de Oro
Sol€€Open Late, British and Spanish Football
A screen filled traditional tavern just off Puerta del Sol, La Fontana shows British and Spanish football behind a tiled facade and stays open into the early hours. It draws a tourist and local mix and pours a steady Guinness.
Game day: Arrive early for the late kickoffs and claim a high table.
04
O'Connell Street
Barrio de las Letras€€Irish Pub, Match Day Crowd
A classic Irish pub near the Letras quarter, O'Connell shows the Premier League and La Liga on several screens and gets loud on match days. The party leaning crowd is friendly and the Guinness flows freely.
Game day: A pint and a spot at the bar for a derby afternoon.
