For those who have been loyally following my contributions to Spurs Community over the years, and wondering why, I have great news. For those going to Madrid for the Real Quarter Final game your patience with some of the nonsense, bias and misinformation that you have had to put up with is about to be rewarded.
I bring you genuine offers of free beer. Now you're really interested I can tell even from here. My daughter Liz is the manager of an Irish 'Sports bar' close to the Bernabeu Stadium. This is a very Football and Rugby friendly place serving a wide range of beers: Guinness, Heineken and John Smith's amongst others.
In addition to the usual 'meal deals' available on match days she is making the 'Irish Rover' particularly Spurs friendly for the Real game on match day, 5th April, with a buy one get one free offer on all pints before the game.
She is obviously hoping that you will all come back afterwards to celebrate.
The fact that I have pictures of her naked on a rug at 2yrs old has nothing to do with this offer. Fashionable at the time but probably illegal now. Prices are in any case very reasonable for central Madrid and these deals are literally ones you just cannot refuse. You will need to produce some form of Spurs credentials, match tickets; membership cards; full Tottenham kit should do it.
It is two minutes walk from the stadium. Look for the BBBV bank on the other side of the main road (The Castellana). Walk down between the bank and the Ministry of Defence; past the first traffic lights: on the left is a small square with a gardens in the middle; in the far corner is 'The Irish Rover'; on the road side there is a Starbucks which you will obviously ignore.
The bar makes a very good base for short trips to Madrid; stag does for example as usually Easy Jet from Luton is very cheap. It is open from midday until 3 or 4 o/c in the morning seven days a week. A wide range of Spanish and Anglo/American food is served and they do a very good 3 course 'Menu Del Dia' for about 10 Euros.

Nearest Metro station is the Bernabeu itself. So pile in lads and eat drink and be merry as I am only on a very small commission. (I wish). Mention my name if you like but it might not do you any good as I haven't cleared my tab lately.
