Seasoned clubbers are spoilt for choice with a number of
clubs attracting world class DJ’s and the dancing going
on until 6am or later. Admission charges vary from €5
to €20 and remember; the night starts a lot later in
Madrid than elsewhere so if you arrive at
a club before 1am, there’s a high chance you’ll
be the only people in there. Dress codes are, on the whole,
quite relaxed but for the larger clubs it’s best to
make an effort and leave the trainers at home.
Arena
Calle Princesa, 1
Telephone - 91 562 00 02
A huge hit with the young crowd, this cavernous club plays electronica, drum n’ bass and pop to the mass of seething bodies below in two sessions - one from 7pm to 11pm and the other from midnight until late.
Pacha
Barcelo, 11
Telephone - 91 447 01 28
Belonging to an international chain of clubs, Pacha is upmarket and attracts a glamorous crowd. Admission is €12 and the club is open until 6am.
Cool
Calla Isabella Catolica, 6
Telephone - 91 542 3439
Like Pacha, Cool brings in Madrid’s beautiful and fashionable crowd - arrive late for extra kudos. The club is closed from Mon - Wed.
Soul Kitchen
Mesonero Romanos, 13
Telephone - 91 532 15 24
This place changes its name, chameleon-like, depending on the time of day and time of the week. Is also known as Goa, Flamingo and Disco Inferno and has a laid-back atmosphere.
Kapital
Atocha, 125
Telephone - 91 420 29 06
Spread over a massive seven floors, this club again divides
the night into two sessions with the first (for teenagers)
