Es un rinconcito muy agradable aunque no está muy bien cuidado. Se podría sacar mucho más provecho. El dueño es muy amable.

Nos llamó la atención este rinconcito en una de nuestros recorridos por la sierra de Madrid para parar a tomar una cervecita y no nos decepcionó. Eso si, resultó raro que con el día tan bueno que hacia no estuviese a reventar, muchos sitios matarían por esta terraza!!!!! Con nosotros más que perfecto: cervecita fría, a buen precio, con un buen aperitivo y con un servicio correcto. Eso si, creo que deberían quitar el sobrenombre de meson y dejarlo en bar....

Donde ir a comer las mejores patatas bravas en collado mediano? sin duda alguna estás tardando en ir al Mesón Esteban!! Además tiene la mejor terraza del pueblo, y el trato que da Luis es muy bueno. La cerveza Mahou y bien fría, que es importantísimo!! No cobra con tarjeta, pero no hay problema porque tienes un cajero al lado!.

Podríamos hablar de la mejor terraza/patio de Collado Mediano, para tomarse unos tubos a la sombra cuando aprieta el calor es un gusto. Bar clásico con buena atención, tampoco se puede buscar más.
