La Cueva de Lola Madrid, Flamenco Show in Madrid

Super fun!! The time flew by. It’s nice to experience the traditional flamenco dance for a cheaper price than other places. Dancers and musicians are super talented!! Sad I was not allowed to take videos though.

Truly an incredible experience! The sangria was the best (and strongest!) I've ever had, the tostas were delicious and the ambiance of the flamenco cave was superb. It was of course the sensual music and dance that really made this the perfect night out! Not at all touristy like many of the other flamenco shows in Spain - small, quaint and cozy!

I cannot imagine a better flamenco evening! The mix of dancers had such passion. The guitarist played to my soul and the singer brought his soul to his voice. The setting was intimate and perfect. If you are reading this and looking for a flamenco performance in Madrid, LOOK NO FURTHER. This is it.

We were completely captivated by the show and thoroughly enjoyed it. There are quite a few flamenco theaters in the city center, but we chose this one because it seemed more authentic and less like a tourist trap. While we can't compare it to other theaters, as this was our first visit, we were very satisfied with the experience. We arrived at the venue approximately 1.5 hours before the performance, which started at 9 p.m. Tickets were still available, and the price included one drink per person. I ordered sangria, which was both tasty and refreshing. We also received a small plate of spicy olives as a complimentary treat. The performers were quite young, and I truly appreciated their energy and style. The performance itself was rhythmic, passionate, and energizing. It featured an acoustic guitarist, a charismatic singer, and three dancers. This was our first encounter with authentic flamenco, and I highly appreciate this Spanish cultural heritage and lifestyle.

I went for the flamenco performance and the show was absolutely stunning. All the performers were amazing and the staff were really great too. As you can’t record during the show, it’s definitely something to see for yourself.

Honestly, we were guessing to see if this event would be of good quality and it really impressed and fascinated us. We had a very good experience in a friendly environment with amazing performers. Highly recommended The four artists brought it 100%. 2 flamenco dancers, a guitarist, and the singer. Strongly recommend you buy your tickets in advance.

Absolutely wonderful time here last night. Went about 30 minutes early to do some recon on the show, and the area looked dead and the security door was still down. So came back at 7PM with low expectations, and the place was packed full. Service was quick and convenient. Sangia hit the spot, and the toasts were prepared fresh and were tasty and filling. The chocolate volcano was incredible, and my son declared it as possibly the best chocolate cake he has ever had. We thought the show was excellent, and an incredible value. The performers were excellent, great guitarist and vocalist, and incredible dancing. Can't wait to go see another show now!

We went today for the 7 pm show. No complaints about the performance and the artists, they absolutely killed it! Excellent number! 👏🏼 However… the smell in that place.. my Goodness! I don’t know if it was due to the fact that the establishment was located in a cave or something, but it smelled like urine from the very entrance. I cannot even explain it - it smelled as though homeless people lived there and nobody cared to clean the place. It made us doubt the safety of the place as far as hygiene goes. A real shame. And the chairs were very uncomfortable, they should at least offer some chair-pillows for those that require one. We were quite disappointed especially since we read great reviews about the place before going.

I have been to this place in December 2023 and was deeply impressed by performance. Thats why I selected this place for the special day - 60th anniversary of my mom, who came for the very first time in Spain to celebrate it. Of course, I didnt't regret I took her specifically here. Here is why: - dance and singing performancers were different all the time, but all of them, as was mentioned in one of the reviews, were commited fully to the show. Especially the lady-twin of Salma Hayek: I was astonished by her character. - the venue place isn't big and wherever you sit, you have a feeling of close contact with performancers on stage. - the waiter who served our table, brought after performance a little chocolate fondan cake with a candle for my mom, which made her double plesantly emotional after performance. Cudos to him! 😊

The venue sets the menu, you don’t choose. Of the five empanada choices you get to choose between 2. I was expecting better bailaora 💃🏻 dresses, more traditional. Guy danced too much, too long. Only 4 people in a small stage. They don’t let you clap 🙄 No video allowed, only pictures 🙄 The location is a little bit far. Fair but won’t be back when I return to Madrid.

It was the most passionate and awe-inspiring performance I have ever watched. The underground venue which brought so much character to the show and the small stage did not stop the gifted performers from taking up space and performing as if they were performing to thousands, but also making it so intimate and cozy as if you were getting a special sneak peek preview. Each performer was in their element and the gifts they each posses are phenomenal. Not only that, they fit together, encourage, and hype each other up to create this amazing experience that I was so blessed to have watched. Thank you!!!

I am glad we found this place. It was small, semi intimate and a good show. I sat front row and had a great view of the guitar play and dance. To be honest, one flamenco show is perfect for me and this location did a great job. We grabbed a drink and enjoyed a little over an hour here. I would recommend this show...but beware I have never seen another flamenco show so I can't judge it. I know the person behind us told his guests that he has come here a few times and brings visitors from Madrid here.

Great Choice! We left amazed what a great show and such an intimate venue. The four artists brought it 100%. 2 flamenco dancers, a guitarist, and the singer. They have the audience captivated from start to finish. A short 5-minute interlude for costume change. The show was little over an hour. Included one drink per person and we also ordered some tapas for our table. The sangria's and tapas were both really good. Overall a great experience, a great show, great food and a beautiful venue. Only cost us 23€ each. Strongly recommend you buy your tickets in advance. We decided to buy them at the venue they were sold out and only by a stroke of luck did we get 2 seats in "limited view" seats. They were still pretty good seats but save yourself the aggravation especially if you're only there for a couple of nights. Highly recommend ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Visited this quaint beautiful venue for a flamenco dance performance. It was incredible. Our seats were great, food and wine. The singer was an alto. Her voice is almost, healing. The performance maybe lasted and hour. I can’t remember. Videos aren’t allowed because of the disturbing light. Pictures are allowed without the flash. The artwork in the venue is abstract and colorful. I will be bringing my colleagues to a performance the next time I’m in town as this was truly worth the Uber ride and money.

The venue was amazingly intimate, service was excellent and the performance was spectacular and captivating! Only one hour long but well worth the price.

This is one of the best cuevas/ (cave ) to experience flamenco in the Latina district of Madrid. The audience size max is about 50 people per show ! Mostly, local people seem to attend !

This would be the 3rd time I've seen a flamenco show and this was by far my favourite. The intimate setting made it extra special. The performers put a lot of heart into the show and I noticed that they even worked at the cash upstairs after, so it looks like a hands-on troupe who is managing the venue and the show. Love that!

Amazing flamenco! I’ve been to other places and wasn’t totally thrilled with the performance, however at this place you could tell the performers had great chemistry. It’s a nice intimate venue, tons of fun and I would go again. The sangria was delicious

Loved the fact that this experience felt more intimate and spontaneous,rather than theatrical. The ambiance enhanced the mood as it resembled a cool hidden jazz club.

It was one of the best performances I've seen. It was very emotional, I was moved. All 3 dancers of this performance (January 13) were amazing. Thank you very much for such an experience.

Amazing show! We had a really great time. The personal is very pleasant and the performers are absolutely talented. Thank you so much! Extra bonus for the olives

The setting was amazing in this small but cosy underground bar... I'd give 4.5 due to the fact that we were expecting the dancers to wear the " flamenco red dress"💃. But they still wore traditional clothing. Definitely a must see performance when in Madrid!!!

Amazing experience. Superb dancers, singer and musician. If you have one hour to spend, it is the place to go. It would be even better if they could serve cocktails.

This was such an incredible experience - the three dancers that performed were absolutely amazing and the whole show was unbelievably fun and engaging. The space itself is intimate and cozy and really makes for a great atmosphere. At 25 euros a person (which includes a drink), it’s well worth the price. I’ll definitely be back and this show is a must-see for anyone visiting Madrid!

Lovely experience of flamenco with live music. Good service and food. They all speak English so it's good for tourists as well

Great little venue in the basement of what I believe is a little bar/cafe. Complementary first drink and olives and then table service . They serve food if you wish to eat there.. The dancers were amazing, they seemed to have a real passion and connection and the guitarist and singer were both equally as good.. would defiantly recommend even if you think it may not be your thing, you may be surprised!

Great show, really loved and enjoyed this experience. The olives at this place are some of the best olives I’ve ever tried. Venue is beautiful with a personal service of food and drinks served to your table. Love, love, love. Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

In an intimate basement setting in the brick vaults underneath an unassuming bar tucked down a dead end street in the shadow of the nearby church, I found the authentic passion and joy and painful sorrow of Flamenco. With only around 40 seats per show, prior booking is highly recommended. Visit their Facebook page for a discount code when you book direct.

The show was great. Very solid dancers and great space mainly catering foreigners. On the other hand, the service for me and my family was absolutely terrible. Maybe it was the fact that it was the late show (9pm), but it took the servers a while to take our order (we were sitting for a while until someone finally approached us (when the show was already starting), and they did not have time to take the food order. When the drinks arrived, they were less than optimal (I suggest drinking somewhere outside instead before coming), and one of the them (the sangria) was essentially a sugary drink. When mentioning this to the waiter, he said: "that is how we make it. I can give you another one but you will have to pay for it" (I prepaid the drink while making the reservation... highly discouraged). The food order was finally taken during the show´s break, and the food did not arrive until the show was over. In essence, me and my family had to eat while everyone else had already left and the the staff was cleaning the space. Simply terrible. If you can pay a few Euros more, I suggest going to the other more known flamenco places in town.

Saw a Flamenco show here while visiting Madrid. It's such a charming place. The drink + show option only costs $25, which is very affordable for a flamenco show in Madrid. Most places cost double that or more. It was an incredible show; I learned about flamenco in college and it was amazing to see what I studied come to life. The performers were so passionate and gave their all during the show.

Absolutely superb. What an experience. Some careful research paid off as I really knew I’d chosen the best place to experience true flamenco with a passion. You won’t regret this if you go !!

It was a fantastic performance. We could feel the Spanish passion and their love for the tradition. One guy next to me sitted bending forward and blocked my view at first, but the waitress came to him and told him to sit back. That was a very good call! Thanks so much for taking care of details. One thing I didn’t like was that a couple in front of me was taking pictures and videos all the time. Their seats were hidden from staffs’ side, so I assume it was hard to detect. Due to their continuous move, it was a bit distracted. But overall, the place and the show was amazing and very impressive.

Absolutely fantastic. If you only see one Flamenco show in Madrid, see this one. The seating area is intimate and truly adds to the experience. The show itself was phenomenal with very raw energy and emotion. I cannot believe it costs as little as it does, especially with a drink included. The service was well balanced between being attentive and also respectful of the show which was very appreciated. We had an amazing time.

Absolutely stunning performance. The guitar, the singing, and the dancing were so beautiful - I would recommend this to anyone who loves art or wants to experience something unlike anything they’ve ever seen. The men and women performing took my breath away. Incredible show!

WOW. Absolutely blown away. The music was sung beautifully, there was so much passion in the dancing, the service was incredible. Seating seems to be first come first served. I recommend getting in a bit early and ordering a drink at the upstairs bar before they let anyone down. Ordered their chicken and caramelized onion tostada. One of the best tostadas I had in Madrid.

A must go flamenco show, went without expectations and i was blown away with the performance ! Passionate dancers with beautiful singing. It felt like watching a show between the dancers more than a show to the people. Definitely recommended 💃🏻💃🏻💃🏻

Great place! Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff. The show was electric and authentic. Would definitely recommend!

A great experience. The dancers were fantastic, passionate and entertaining! Loved this and would definitely recommend. It’s worth the $25 fee.

An absolutely amazing show! Utmost impressive! Don’t be fooled by the so-called specialists: places like La Cueva de Lola are not tourist-intended, but true home for the soul of flamenco. The service is nice and the four artists that performed the night we’ve been there are of the highest calibre. Recommended!

La Cueva de Lola in Madrid is a unique and exciting destination for visitors looking for an unconventional night out. The venue is a small basement that has been converted into a cozy and intimate bar, featuring a spectacular flamingo show that is truly one-of-a-kind. The show is a lively and colorful performance that features a troupe of trained flamingos that dance and perform tricks to a lively soundtrack. The performers are incredibly talented and their routines are truly mesmerizing to watch. The atmosphere inside the bar is also great, with a friendly staff and a cozy decor that creates a fun and lively ambiance.

Nice place for a flamenco show. We paid 25 euro the ticket and had glass of wine included (good price compared to other place) . Dancers and music was very good

If you are thinking about seeing Flamenco, do it here!!! An incredible show in an intimate basement bar— we were close enough to touch the stage. Absolutely insane performance. Worth every penny and would recommend this experience to anyone.

This place is amazing! Super cozy and interesting. The show it’s breathtaking, you can see and feel the passion in the dancers and also in singer and guitar player. I can’t recommend this place enough, it’s a must see in Madrid!

Saw a lot of reviews for many places and decided to come here, and it was definitely the right choice! The dancers were incredible, and really nice atmosphere. We got the tapas menu, and i would recommend, like may have said here, to get just the drinks option. We struggled a bit to eat while the show was on

Amazing and intimate show! There was no bad seat in the place as everyone is able to enjoy the wonderful performers. The music and dancing is phenomenal. We actually felt bad moving our eyes away for even a second to eat the tostadas. You feel the performers' emotions through the songs, singing, and dancing. From our seat, we could feel the steps and dresses flowing. A slight intermission in the middle allows you to absorb it all. The food and drinks were terrific as well. You will not be sorry if you come here to enjoy Flamenco! Highly recommended.

If you want to explore Flamenco art, this is the place. A very friendly and cozy atmosphere, and very professional artists. The price is very reasonable. I paid 24 euros for the ticket and it included a drink. The place is like a cave and it has an intimate vibe. I love the show and the experience. Strongly recommended!!!
