Salmon Guru, the cocktail bar, is once again among the best bars in the world after being included for the eighth consecutive year in the coveted list The World’s 50 Best Bars 2025. This recognition consolidates it not only as an absolute reference in the vibrant international mixology scene, but also as one of the nerve centers for those seeking creativity, both inside and outside Spain.
The secret of its success lies in an inimitable blend of innovation and atmosphere. Under the baton of the charismatic Diego Cabrera (one of the most influential bartenders in Europe), Salmon Guru has a cocktail menu that captivates both experts and those approaching cocktails for the first time.
In addition, they have not been satisfied and two years ago they completely renewed themselves, even closing the place for a few months. This nonconformism has even led them to open outside Spain, now they also have spaces in Dubai and Milan.
Eclectic and innovative cocktail bar
Here, every recipe is surprising, from cocktails served in irreverent vessels (in the shape of sea creatures, animals or comics), to their own creations that combine exotic ingredients and cutting-edge techniques, with nods to Madrid and Asian tradition.
The place is divided into several atmospheres: a first room of submarine inspiration, another full of pop illustrations that seem to be taken from a graphic novel and a third room that refers to the underground clubs of Chinatown, creating a unique visual and sonorous journey in Madrid. The musical variety, the careful lighting and the know-how of the waiters do the rest.
Salmon Guru also boasts of being pet friendly, allowing customers to come accompanied by their pets, and children are also welcome, few cocktail bars can boast this, an added value much appreciated by locals and visitors.
