Nothing screams drunk food in Madrid more than tortilla de patatas. Also dubbed a Spanish omelet, this Bodega la Ardosa staple is a traditional dish made with eggs, potatoes, and onions.

You can find Bodega la Ardosa in the hipster neighborhood of Malasaña. With its bright neon sign lighting up the dark street, the drunk food spot has become an icon of Madrid’s nightlife scene.

Founded by Rafael Fernández in 1892, the late-night eatery is part of the La Ardosa chain. But the one we’re talking about found its forever home on Calle Colón. 

Check out the other food items, such as cured meats, duck ham, and garlic soup. Rinse it all off with an Irish beer if you feel international or a fine wine for a local vibe.
