Un lugar perfecto para disfrutar de una buena noche entre amigos. El ambiente es increíble: música actual y variada, copas bien servidas y a buen precio, y un personal muy atento que te hace sentir como en casa. La decoración y la iluminación crean una atmósfera muy agradable, ideal tanto para empezar la noche como para quedarte hasta tarde. Sin duda, uno de esos sitios que invitan a repetir. ¡Totalmente recomendable! 🍸🎶

Soy cliente habitual de La Potente, la ubicación en uno de los mejores barrios de Madrid, por su onda, La Latina, es inmejorable. Es pequeño, pero tiene una terraza genial para tomar el sol, incluso en invierno. El servicio es excelente, da gusto compartir con los camareros, amables y profesionales. Te dan gratis tapas que están buenísimas y por la noche, las copas son baratas y se disfrutan con buena música. ¿Qué cambiaría yo? Me encantaría una terraza más grande....

He ido con mis amigas varias veces porque esta super bien localizado. Por la noche tiene muy buen ambiente para tomar algo y cenar pero por la mañana sirven desayunos muy ricos. La terraza es muy agradable. Lo que mas me ha gustado las veces que he ido, aparte de la comida, han sido los camareros, siempre muy amables y atienden genial. Un sitio que recomiendo siempre. Un 10!

Great food at decent prices. The tortilla con cebollas caramelizadas (caramelized onions) is amazing

Authentic tortillas recommended by local 😋 The original one was quite blend for me but tomato and ham&truffle were superb :)

Edgar Resendez

The staff is amazing. Really good atmosphere, good latín music and great cocktails.

In an area with lots of overpriced breakfast options, this was a godsend, worth generous portions of tasty food at an excellent price. The onion tortilla is recommended.

Christopher Taylor

Great resturante bar, great staff, tapas ,and good lively atmosphere great vermouth on Sunday afternoon after Rastro market

Great place in a really cool area of Madrid where its nice just to sit out with a drink and watch the world go by. I was also here on a Thursday evening and it was quite a lively vibe inside the bar with good music. Highly recommended 🎉👌🏻

The perfect place to stop for a pre dinner drink! Nothing fancy, just good vibes, location and reasonably priced drinks 🍷

The waiter/server who handles the outdoor section is really nice!! My boyfriend and I went to la potente twice during our time in Madrid & appreciated his service both times. Four stars just for him :-) drinks were fine & the tostada with the goat's cheese was yummm

Friendly service and can be quite lively if you catch it on the right nice, a little hit and miss here. Not the biggest bar in the world either which makes it quite crowded at times (operative phrase... at times). They recently switched up the music to more modern tastes too which is a plus.

Best option would be the tortilla with caramel and onion. Paella is also very tasty!!

Sólo tomamos unas copas en la terraza: normales en cantidad, calidad y precio (aunque no barato); la camarera, buena profesional. No me gustó la decoración y ambiente. Lo que más llamó mi atención (me impactó) fue el servicio (váter) de caballeros: el inodoro está separado de la parte del lavabo únicamente por una separación (muy baja) tipo puertas de cantina del oeste americano... curioso... no sé qué pasaría (reflexioné) con el apretón (o si se me pasaría de golpe) ante semejante decorado; merece una visita.

Muy amables los camareros, nos sentaron dentro mientras se vaciaba alguna mesa en la terraza y el servicio correcto. La comida estaba rica, aunque las raciones pequeñas para su precio. El bocadillo de calamares es un poco de risa, la tortilla trufada no llega a saber a trufa, y los torreznos estaban chiclosos, nada que ver con como deberian de ser. Resto de platos correctos, y la ubicación perfecta

Vermú cervezas y tapas. No está mal, vermú un poco caro en comparación a otros de la zona

despite looking like an inviting place for a drink, we were greeted with minor disdain, tourist bias perhaps? After sensing a lack of hospitality we then unfortunately found out that the mojitos on the menu were not available. Only a minor inconvenience, and we resorted to aperols. However, to our surprise we were given Petronis instead, with no indication of this change. The only positive I would say were the free lollies given with the drinks, however only minor consolation in my opinion.

Here as a tourist. We ate here because they were open early, ~5:30 or 6 pm and we have 2 kids, ages 2 and 3. We sat outside and enjoyed the music and the light crowd. Our waiter was friendly and spoke English, and they have English menus. We ordered 2 sodas and 3 tapas and the total was €23 - very reasonable, we thought, and the food as delicious.

Wanted to eat here, cued inside and wanted to but outside, was told if I wanted to eat outside I couldn't order at counter even though I had just cued for 10 minutes. Was told to sit outside and wait for a waiter, I then waited for another 10 minutes outside and no easier came, so have up and went somewhere else.

Low quality products. Despite that, the price is double than in the rest of Madrid. Don’t get fooled, also you will don t get a menu… Additionally the waiters seem nice before you order… after tha…

Desastroso. Normas cambiantes, mala comunicación y cero empatía. Nos hicieron sentir incómodos todo el tiempo: movernos de mesa, no poder pedir libremente y condiciones absurdas para servir. Así es imposible disfrutar. No lo recomiendo en absoluto.

Experiencia nefasta. Desde el primer momento todo fueron pegas: no podíamos ser más de 3 o 4 personas en la misma mesa, nos obligaban a cambiarnos constantemente y, para colmo, una sola persona no podía pedir dos consumiciones. Cuando por fin accedimos a movernos y reorganizarnos, se negaron a servir porque no pedíamos todos otra ronda, aunque algunos acabábamos de pedir. Un despropósito absoluto y una sensación constante de incomodidad. No volveremos.

Nunca pensé que tomar algo pudiera ser tan complicado. Cambios de mesa continuos, normas absurdas (una persona que viene más tarde y se incorpora a la mesa no puede pedir, tienen que pedir todos los de la mesa si o sí) y una falta total de coherencia. Da la impresión de que el cliente molesta. Mucho estrés para algo tan sencillo como sentarse y consumir. Increíble, pero para mal.

Una pena, porque el sitio podría estar bien, pero el servicio lo arruina todo. Restricciones constantes, contradicciones al pedir y una actitud que deja mucho que desear. Tener que volver a pedir todos una ronda cuando algunos acababan de hacerlo es absurdo. Salimos con muy mal sabor de boca. Hay sitios donde te hacen sentir bienvenido; este no es uno de ellos. Recomiendo a toda la gente que vaya a otro bar de al lado. Se aprovechan de que hay alta demanda en ma zona y se rien de los clientes.

Worst service ever seen , the lazy waiter was very rude and he charged us more money than what appeared in the menu

The worst service i have ever seen

The waiters attitude was so bad we left before we ordered drinks

Special One

We had a negative experience at this bar. The attitude of the staff leaves much to be desired, it was especially unpleasant to communicate with their manageress. Although from what I understand, the waiters and security at the entrance are just following strict internal company policy. But why should I care as a customer? For example, to go outside with a cocktail I paid for inside the bar, they ask me to pay extra. It wasn't easy to park nearby either, although it's downtown, I understand. Anyway, I don't recommend this place.

On the menu that we got sangria was 5 €. On the bill.. 7 €. They said they did not update the online menu…
