Trends in Cocktail Bar in 2026

El cocktail bar es un establecimiento especializado en la preparación y servicio de cócteles, donde el bartender es el protagonista y la carta líquida es el producto principal. En Madrid, el formato abarca desde speakeasies ocultos y barras de hotel hasta coctelerías de autor y rooftop bars. Es uno de los segmentos de mayor crecimiento y margen de la hostelería.

Madrid

200+ coctelerías especializadas

Madrid se ha consolidado como una de las grandes capitales mundiales de la coctelería. Establecimientos como Salmón Gurú, Angelita o Macera aparecen regularmente en el ranking World's 50 Best Bars. La ciudad cuenta con más de 200 coctelerías especializadas y el número crece cada año, con nuevas aperturas centradas en speakeasies y rooftop bars.

International

8-10% crecimiento anual

El mercado global de coctelería premium crece al 8-10% anual. El segmento RTD (Ready-to-Drink) alcanzó 83 millones de euros en España en 2024 con un crecimiento del 14% anual. La tendencia mundial apunta a cócteles low-alcohol, ingredientes locales y experiencias multisensoriales.

Challenges

The specific challenges of a cocktail bar

Challenges of a cocktail bar in Madrid

The cocktail bar is experiencing a golden moment in Madrid: speakeasies, rooftop bars, signature cocktail bars, and hotel bars compete for a diner seeking premium liquid experiences. But cocktail margins require precise beverage cost control, team training, and a concept that goes beyond the menu.

  • Beverage cost control: each cocktail has dozens of ingredients and waste is silent
  • Training and retention of qualified bartenders in a very competitive market
  • Licenses and increasingly restrictive nightlife regulations
  • Differentiating in a saturated cocktail market in Madrid
