About Berria Wine Bar

This place is just on Plaza de la Independencia, also popularly known as La Puerta de Alcala, with a fantastic outside terrace where customers can enjoy a lovely glass of Champagne (in fact, no coffee is allowed on the terrace) overlooking this amazing monument. The interior is modern, elegant and well-spaced, with thick wooden tables. You can feel right away that the owner (Juan) and the Head Sommelier have put a real emphasis on making this place a true wine destination.

With over 100 wines by the glass, a whole army of well-trained sommeliers is required (there are more sommeliers than waiters). I would highly recommend putting yourself in their hands to have a great experience.

The wine list is extensive and well-executed, with wines from all over the world, with special attention to lesser well-known Spanish wine regions. The food menu is simple and super tasty, with fresh products from the sea coast and Madrid's countryside. This is my favourite wine bar in the city, and it's becoming a must destination for wine lovers.

  • This place deserves the Best Sparkling Wine List award for the diversity of its sparkling wines, covering the entire Spanish territory, its impressive verticals featuring the most sought-after vignerons, and the prestige cuvées from the great maisons; not to mention its ability to procure unique sparkling ‘unicorns.’ It is a true wine temple, a luxurious haven for discerning palates.

  • The winning list has a great selection, especially the whites, with some really exciting verticals – this is definitely Spain's number one place for Austrian-wine lovers. [Star Wine List of the Year Spain 2025]

  • This is a place for wine enthusiasts – both buyers and consumers. It is a list that is difficult to find fault with, and the Italian section is on a par with the other categories. It offers both the Italian icons and, in addition, previous vintages that are difficult to find even in their regions of origin. Bravo for this Italian section with its depth of vintages.
