AT SIDI, WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU GET
OForget about the vintage esthetic that has lately been taking over the neighborhood. Here, what you see is what you get. Pinchos, tapas, jamon serrano/chorizo/lomo all hanging on the wall. No show-cooking and elaborated tapas. A tasty plate of huevos rotos (potatoes topped off with eggs), generous portions and true to the BBB rule: Bueno Bonito y Barato! its good, nice-looking, and cheap! A great atmosphere, (erasmus students tend to come here a lot) any day of he week, guaranteed!
THE WAITERS, JAIME AND JAVI CAN DO ANYTHING!
You can stop by SIDI any Friday or Saturday night and you'll see how great the service is even when it's packed inside! Javi and Jaime do their best to make sure their customers and perfectly! Nice rations of freshly cut jamón serrano (cured ham), patatas bravas (potatoes in a “spicy” sauce), ensaladilla rusa (spanish potato salad) and you'll surely have another round on the house!!
5 EURO DRINKS, AND VERY WELL SERVED, THEY EVEN GIVE YOU THE BOTTLE SO YOU CAN SERVE YOURSELF!
Because trust is essential at your local bar! As long as you're good people Javi and Jaime will treat you phenomenally!
The verdict: The friendly local bar with affordable prices (in our opinion the best neighborhood bar in the area) There's a reason why they've been around since 1943!
Free Wifi
You can always count on Jose Luis's "help", who always knows what's going on in the bar and strikes up conversations with the customers. You'll recognize him by his unique and peculiar attire (hat included!)
