CENTRO. This bar was a favorite of Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and that bull-fighting fool Ernest Hemingway (Papa's table is in the near righthand corner). Despite some very average tapas, it remains a popular tourist spot. The decor and the waiters' garb are reminiscent of a Teutonic bierkeller, lending an historic air. METRO: Sevilla or Sol

CENTRO. Located near the Royal Palace, "The Old King of Wines" bar opened in 1909 and has not changed much since. Inside are interesting photographs of Madrid at the turn of the century. Venture beyond standard tapas to sweet vermouth from the barrel, served with a tiny dipping cookie. The house specialty is "torrijas": bread slices soaked in milk and fried, served with cinnamon and honey. METRO: Ópera
