Madrid Club Guide - Review Of 5 Popular Clubs in Madrid
This article tells you all about the Madrid club scene. There are hundreds of clubs, and we’ve just listed 5 popular venues here. You’ll also find out a little more about what kind of music to expect in each club, together with details on how to find them. You’ll find links to their official web pages where available. Prices vary depending upon the night, so it’s always best to check in advance on their web pages. The Madrid Club SceneThe people of Madrid are known as ‘gatos’ meaning cats. They’ve earned this nickname because of their ability to literally stay out on the tiles all night. Many clubs don’t close until 06:00, and even then everyone is still full of life. You’ll find that nightlife starts later in Madrid, with most people heading to the bars at the earliest of 10:00 or 23:00. Clubs generally open at about midnight. If you go in any earlier you may find it quite empty. If you’re not used to partying all night, then be sure to pace yourself. The Spanish don’t drink excessively, and you rarely see them staggering around in a drunken stupor. Remember also, that spirit measures are much larger (double of triple) than they are in the UK. The Madrid Club scene supplies music for every taste. The largest, flashiest venues tend to specialise in dance music and there are some excellent DJs playing. There’s also a big gay community in Madrid, and consequently there are clubs to cater for this market as well. Madrid Club ClothingThe Spanish are well known for their style, and they always dress for the time of year. If it’s cold outside, then they will cover up with winter coats. Once inside a dance club, you will see more scantily clad party-goers, but you’ll never see anyone shivering in the street in a mini-skirt and tiny t-shirt during the winter months! There aren’t too many dress code rules for entering clubs however, and my advice would be to look smart and steer away from trainers for the bigger clubs. List Of Madrid ClubsWe’ve been out dancing the night away in several of Madrid’s most popular venues, and have put together a list of good clubs.
