Clubbing in Madrid

Madrid can do it all night...can you?  Neither as expensive or snobbish as Barcelona, the club scene in Madrid is tireless. Madrid boasts some of the most emblematic clubs in all of Spain, names such as Joy Eslava, Kapital and Pacha, night scenes that burgeoned with the ravenous hedonism of  Madrid's post-dictatorship cultural revolution in the 80s, and which retain their essence of bohemian hedonism to this day. 

The first step in putting your stamina for nocturnal pleasures to the test is to make sure you get in to the top clubs. Then just have a good dinner and go for it!  To enjoy Madrid nightlife to the full, book club passes and VIP entrance to the best clubs.

Where to go Clubbing in Madrid 

Joy Eslava: one of the capital's big three and the most central at Sol/Opera. Listed in most tourist guides, this stunning former theatre attracts a cosmopolitan crowd of all ages. You are going to end up here during your trip to Madrid, so you might as well do it in style.  Fore more info, click here.

Kapital:  Madrid's giant with seven floors and as many types of music. A young and gorgeous Spanish crowd, and catering for all tastes. It even has a karaoke bar!  For info on entrance, click here.

Pacha:  Ibiza's spirit and hits in the Spanish capital. For Pacha, click here.

Ocho y Medio: one of the locals favourite, Ocho y Medio is particularly relaxed and diverse, playing great music from the eighties (and other decades). "Todos somos iguales", they told us. For guest list, click here.

El Sol: very famous for its concerts, it changes into a nighclub around 1am. Its crowd tends to look cool rather than scruffy but it keeps its laid back charm. For this and other Madrid top clubs, click here.

Spanish Nightclubs: Do's and Don'ts 

• The crowd and staff at Spanish clubs are generally laid back, friendly and up for a big night out. But do play by the local rules and don't  fall foul of the bouncers (in Spain just as bipolar a breed as any the world over).
• Don't  peak too early! Spanish clubbing is a late late pursuit. In most cases clubs do not get lively till 2-3 a.m. or even later in summer. For Spaniards a night out is just that, all night out! 
• Don't  expect normal bar prices. In general drink prices at the bar in Spanish clubs are 2-3 times the price in bars. Locals spend more time dancing than drinking so often just order one for the whole night !
• Do book VIP passes as over the piece, the drink prices are less than just buying at the bar (and you will have reserved seating and will look very cool !)
• Do  wear the right stuff: avoid trainers and designer t-shirts just in case. Don't  wear fancy dress, sandals, flip-flops etc.
• Don't  show up legless at the door (you will not get in - neither may the rest of your mates)
• Don't  make aggressive or "clever " remarks to bouncers (you wil not get in)
• Don't  expect staff to have a sophisticated command of English (most do not)
