Embassy (restaurant terrace)

Bar or Club? there's a restaurant, a delicatessen, and a terrace in the middle of Castellana
Location: Paseo de la Castellana, 12

Metro: Colón
Pros: you can sit outside

Cons: we had a rude waiter and a confused waiter, waitstaff spends more time enjoying their own drinks (and cigarettes) than making yours, expensive drinks (8,50 euro for mixed drinks)

Drinks to Order: gin & tonic
Drinks to Avoid: anything involving rum "because there are many kinds of rum" (hence the rude waiter... just avoid the whole conversation)

Random fact: You can get food from the restaurant (it's fun because you get to order, then watch the waitstaff sprint across the street to get it).

Verdict
: 2

Yes, I agree that the waiter was a jerk. However, I'd give it a little higher than a 2 because I did like the atmosphere of an outdoor terrace. It's a nice place to chill in the middle of a big street.

But yeah...apparently there's only one kind of gin, one kind of vodka, but like a million rums that you have to pick from without getting to hear any of your choices. And they don't have any sort of menu...
