Nightlife in Madrid
Nightlife
The Madrid nightlife is like none other in world. Check out our comprehensive guide to the nightlife in Madrid from our insider's perspective!
Madrid heats up AFTER the sun goes down! Check out our guide to Madrid nightlife below!
Nightclubs, Dance Bars, & Parties
Sol Area
The Moon - "A great place to go if you enjoy emerging at closing time, bleary eyed, stumbling into the weak morning light, stinking of cigarette smoke."
Reina Bruja - "If you’ve ever been so bored that you've found yourself staring at your
aquarium wondering what it would be like to be inside, you may want to
check out the new late-night discoteca in town, the Reina Bruja. In the best way possible, it may actually give you some insight into that aquarium."
Lavapiés Neighborhood
La Ochenta - "80’s music without making you feel like you are in some cheesy theme bar."
Atocha Neighborhood
Club Kapital - "One of Madrid's most famous nightclubs. Seven floors of fun."
La Latina Neighborhood
SuperMartxe - "Walking in from the lazy spring afternoon into the enormous, dark, frenetic, complex, with techno pounding and thousands of people dancing below you is a bizarre experience - one which even a full weekend of partying won’t prepare you for."
Cocktails & Spirits
Huertas Neighborhood
La Venencia - "Taste Spain's famed sherries."
Jazz
Lavapiés Neighborhood
Café El Despertar - "A frozen moment in jazz history with antique fans, coat racks, cash registers, lighting fixtures and tables all seemingly untouched by time."
Rock
Sol Area
Wurlitzer Ballroom - "A place where you can hear Aretha Franklin,
Guns'n'Roses, The Dead Boys, MC5, Marvin Gaye, Twisted Sister, and The
Sonics within the same 30-minute timeframe."
Huertas Neighborhood
Boca del Lobo - "These DJs mix it up, but keep it groovy and funky. Concerts downstairs."
Other Hoods
Gruta 77 – "Authentic live rock venue to check out the city´s best punk, garage rock, rockabilly, swamp, and generally bad-ass rock bands. Just south of the center of town."
Blues
Sol Area
La Coquette – "Legendary Madrid blues bar. 25 Years in business."
