Why it ranks
Bar Cock ranks sixth because it gives Madrid one of its clearest historic cocktail addresses, with a verified 1921 opening date, central Reina street position, and a reputation built around classic drinks rather than novelty. It sits just below Viva Madrid because its experience is more narrowly cocktail-focused and slightly less destination-specific in feel.
