El Chiringuito

Chinatown


Come to this retro-feeling bar for sangria, Spanish gin and bar snacks, or the revolving art exhibitions from time to time. If the name isn't a giveaway already, this is indeed a Spanish-themed establishment, so expect some tasty side dishes such as tortillas, tapas platters and deep-fried patatas (potato cubes) to go with your drinks.
