 Theme nights & varied clientele |
Plaza de Callao, 4 Madrid 28013 Spain +34 91 5310139 |
On weekdays, it's a dance club for sophisticated over-25s who like funk, garage and house music. On Fridays and Saturdays it changes its name to Ohm and plays equally danceable and more up-to-date music for a trendy crowd of gay men. On Sunday nights it's called Week-End and again it attracts gay men. Sunday evenings are for ballroom dancing and on Wednesdays at 1am there's always a risque cabaret show that'll raise your temperature. It's a popular venue for promotional events as well. You'll find it under the old cinema, Palacio de la Prensa. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Flamenco show with an authentic Spanish atmosphere |
Torija 7 Madrid, Madrid 28013 Spain +34 91 559 5135 / +34 91 547 1502 http://www.chinitas.com/ |
A flamenco club that attracts large groups of tourists as well as true flamenco aficionados, the star performers put on an excellent show. It is arranged like a theatre, with a raised stage and tables and chairs squeezed together below. Lots of groups come for dinner as well as the show and the atmosphere is electric. Halfway through your meal the performance starts. It is expensive and crowded, but worth it. Book in advance for the dinner and the show. The show and the dinner cost around EUR64.90.

Designed for visual impact |
Marqués de Santa Ana, 11 Madrid, Madrid 28004 Spain +34 91 521 4970 |
A fashionable New York-style club where you're surrounded by stainless steel pipes, a silver ceiling and red and blue walls with niches to hide in. The most striking decor features are the long glass and wood bar and the huge guillotine. The latter is a reminder that this building was once a printer's workshop. The music is chosen by three different DJs and you're more than likely to hear a mix of ambient, acid jazz and techno. You're unlikely to hear any Spanish music at all. It's owned by the Casariego brothers, well-known film scriptwriters, and attracts people in the film, TV, fashion and theatre industries. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Pure Rock & Roll |
Calle de La Palma 43 Madrid, Madrid 28004 Spain |
It hasn't lost its appeal over the last eight years since it opened and at weekends it's still full. This rock & roll bar continues to pump out rock, rockabilly and soul sounds to the faithful. The decor has been recently up-dated to feature exposed brick, lots of dark wood and a whole load of rock & roll memorabilia, including some collector's items, like a painting signed by the Beatles and a first edition Rolling Stone magazine.

Small place with a big stage |
San Dimas 3 Madrid, Madrid 28015 Spain +34 91 593 3070 |
This is a dedicated late-night live music venue that promotes all sorts of bands, playing anything from commercial pop and rock to hip-hop, acid jazz, and funk. Gigs are normally held Thursday through Saturday nights. There are two floors, so if you are not here for the music or want to escape it, head upstairs. The stage, the dance floor, and ledges to sit on are downstairs, as well as a bar at the far end. Review © 2007, Wcities |
