We were in Madrid in mid December '99 staying at the Intercontinental hotel. It was a Sunday night and we strolled all around the neighborhood north of the hotel and found all the bars closed--except one, "MyLord". We sat at the bar where several of the regulars spoke English and we quickly felt at home. The booze, the tapas, and the two bartenders were great. One of the regulars was a young attorney, Tomas Blanco Fernandez, who knew more about the US than I did and could recite the presidents from Washington to Clinton in order. If you're in Madrid I highly recommend your checking it out. And if you find it's still open (or god forbid, closed), please let me know. Muchas gracias.
