La Escalera de Jacob

La Latina & Lavapiés


As much a cocktail bar as a live-music venue or theatre, ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ is one of Madrid’s more original stages. Magicians, storytellers, live jazz, children’s theatre and more are part of the mix. This alternative slant on life makes for some terrific live performances.

Regardless of what’s on, it’s worth stopping by for creative cocktails that you won’t find anywhere else – the fray aguacate (Frangelico, vodka, honey, avocado and vanilla) should give you an idea of how far they go.
