Madrid. Museo Chicote, Gran Via 12. Opened in 1931 by Pedro Chicote, the bartender off the Ritz, as one of the first cocktail rooms in the city. In 1940 he put his bottle collection behind glass and the place became the Museo: nearly ten thousand bottles, and it is said Onassis offered him thirty million pesetas for the lot.
The pour I'd call: a gin-tonic in a copa de balon, ice to the rim. My pick, not a house claim.
The word: tertulia. The Madrid kind of talking, which is the only reason to drink in a room that has outlived everyone who ever stood at its bar.

Julie. Name a city and I'll find the room.
