⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I’d recommend making a reservation in advance! The vibe here is super fun — colorful, lively, and the live DJ adds a great touch. It does get pretty packed. The food wasn’t amazing but still good overall. We had the shrimp tacos, ceviche, patatas bravas, and chicken bao. The ceviche was unique with the turmeric flavor, the bao could’ve used a bit more sauce, and the patatas bravas were decent but I’ve had better. The presentation was really fun — the dishes and drinks were served in creative, cute ways! Price wasn’t bad either — about $150 for two people. I’d suggest ordering more than four tapas for two if you’re hungry. Overall, great atmosphere, cool crowd, and definitely a spot to dress cute for! Came here for a late lunch/early dinner and was seated right away. Not even half the restaurant was full, but it took a while before anyone came to take our order. The tapas came out one-by-one, which was a bit unfortunate because we ordered separate dishes (didn't share since one of us doesn't eat seafood and the other doesn't eat meat), so we kind of watched each other eat. We didn't realize this until after the third dish came out, so then it was a bit too late to mention. They forgot the scallops, but when I mentioned it, they came rather quickly. All the dishes we ordered were really good, especially the tuna, and nicely presented. The card with the QR code for the menu was sticky and the bathrooms weren't so clean. But overall a nice experience - for the stomach and the eyes! The service was amazing and food and drinks were great. We had the pink sangria and it did not disappoint. It was so refreshing especially for a hot day. We had an amazing server named Naja. She was welcoming and had great hospitality. I would definitely recommend eating here and getting the steak and potato’s. It hit the spot and was cooked perfectly.

Great, nice dinner. It is less brutal than it seems. Food was very nice and cocktails were fabulous. Lulu, Celia and Alejandro were nice. Also, the lady who cut the steak for us. The steak was so great. The Shabu Shabu pork was nothing we had before. The desert shocked us because it was so good and not too sweet, that round moon on wave:)

Absolutely loved our experience at Inclán Brutal Bar! The food was creative, delicious, and beautifully presented — every dish felt like a piece of art. But what truly made the evening memorable was the service. A big shoutout to Alejandro, our server, who went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable. When we had to move to a different table due to another guest, Alejandro not only handled it with kindness and professionalism, but also surprised us with a complimentary drink as a gesture of goodwill. It’s rare to find such thoughtful and attentive service. This place has an amazing vibe, incredible cocktails, and top-notch hospitality. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Madrid — ask for Alejandro if you can!
