Crowded but welcoming. Awesome beer and plenty of tapas too choose from. Tourists welcome but plenty of locals here so you know the food is good. Much better than some other places we visited in the area. Highly recommended.

Our new favourite place in one of our favourite cities! Great service.... great atmosphere. Cannot wait to return!

A classic - one of my favourite in Madrid Atmosphère and food are amazing! Jamon is superb, so is most of the food Great waiters and total mess in a decor that is really weird but funny.

Delicious tapas and beer and it's highly entertaining watching the staff work at breakneck speeds behind the counter.

If you want an authentic tapas bar with nice bartenders, head over to Taberna la Dolores. I recommend ordering a vermouth (served on ice with a lemon) and a ham sandwich.

Taberna La Dolores was recommended to us by an enthusiastic local and it lived up to expectations. The place has great history, plenty of character and we were lucky to get a nice table as the tavern was constantly busy. The staff were excellent getting...us seated quickly and offering help with the food and drinks menu. A selection of tasty Tapas and local beer set us up for a great lunch. The complimentary pickled vegetable, chips and pickled fish set the scene for what was to follow; share plates that included ham, fish and blue cheese. It was all excellent. Highly recommended and very good value.More

Located on the bustling Plaza De Hesus is Taberna La Dolores ,which is a superb tavern that is one of the oldest established taverns in this part of town, established in 1908 and still packing them in. The interior is superb, a cool glass fronted...serving bar, vintage decor and furnishings including great advertising enamels adorning the walls and great tiling in the bar,theres also plenty of seating options spread throughout this bar, it's just one cosy tavern. We were here on a Tuesday late afternoon, greeted warmly by a very pleasant member of staff who served us a vermut each, these were served in excellent condition, we just chilled out and took in the great tavern we were in and the great location. I really enjoy vermut, for anyone not familiar with vermut, it's a fortified wine infused with brandy and herbs ,when served with a green olive ,a slice of orange and a big hunk of ice it's such a refreshing and sophisticated drink,a drink I associate mostly with Madrid, a drink I always look forward to sampling on any holiday I take to this most beautiful of cities. My twin brother Stephen and I really enjoy our vermut's in here and the great vibe so much so that we ended up staying for another vermut each before we moved on and for a first time visit to Taberna La Dolores we had a fantastic time. Taberna La Dolores is easy to locate on Plaza De Jesus . Opening hours are ; Monday to Thursday, 11am till 1am. Friday & Saturday, 11am till 2am. Sunday, 11am till 1am. A fantastic tavern, one I highly recommend you visit if your in the area.More
