"El Pez Gordo" - Jazz, wine and tapas bar

Photo

In my wander through Madrid city center I found a atmospheric Jazz bar.
Its owner, Andreas is a great host and introduced me to two great red Spanish wines, served "traditionally chilled": a Crianza and a Douro.
Crianza: red wines are aged for 2 years with at least 6 months in oak
Douro The heart of the Ribeira Douro is the Milla de Oro, or Golden Mile, a short strip of land hugging the Douro River (which runs west toward Portugal, slicing through the Spanish wine regions of Toro and Rueda before becoming the Douro and nourishing Portugal's Douro and Porto regions). 
El Pez Gordo is also great for tapas and meeting friends "for a glass" as the Spanish people say, it is a quirky, bohemian, and yet modern.
Take a note  "El Pez Gordo" is word of mouth place. Andreas emphasizes that he doesn't want it to be mainstream, "customers are like friends to me, I know them by name." 
It doesn't have a web page . 
open from 7:30 pm
