Dress Code: Just Fun

I got very lucky and dated a guy in Spain who grew up in Madrid and used to work at a nightclub. We definitely had the hook up to places and this was one of my favorite spots. El Confidencial is exactly as it sounds - dark, secretive, mysterious and very chic. We would go on Wed nights and it was like a fraternity - everyone knows each other - a little like "Cheers" with Norm and the crew, but WAY MORE STYLISH!!

Dress Code: Dress code is definitely chic - classy, trendy and sophisticated.

The nightlife in Sapin is second to none. After the death of the dictator, Franco, the country celebrated its new found freedom into the wee hours of the night and that tradition still continues today! Spaniards truly live in the moment and they enjoy all of them hasta la madrugada (until dawn).

A typical weekend includes dinner at 10:30 pm, bar at 12:00 am or so and then off to the nightclubs at 3:30 or 4:00 am. Pacha is super famous and has a fun vibe. We also went to Gabana 1800, Confidencial, and Goldfinger, to name a few...

I was with my friends in Puerta Del Sol Square waiting for other friends to join us, we already had dinner that night, when a German girl approaches me and ask me in a confused Spanish " lo siento pero estoy buscando un club acerca de Puerta del Sol que se llama Bourbon Café y pensaba que tu siendo espanol puede ayudarme"... well actually I'm not Spanish I replied :))) but we went together to look for it and then spent a wonderful dancing night! Bourbon Café is nice and it may get packed after 1 am.

Dress Code: Casual

I typically am not impressed by clubs, but I must admit I have never seen anything like Kapital in Madrid. There are seven floors, and the place is laid out in a way that you never really know what floor you're on or what you're going to find, but you will love whatever it is you run into. It's a bit pricey to get in but WELL WORTH IT. On the main dance floor, the ceiling is extremely high, and its very crowded and hot. But that's ok, because about every three minutes, a huge, cold jet of white air shoots down several stories between go-go dancers that surround the top of the dance area, into the crowd, cooling you off (and waking you up!). Add some confetti, balloons, bubbles, and the occassional extravagantly scientific-looking laser show, and you've got the best dance party I've ever seen. On the other floors, you'll find a variety of bars, vip areas, white tents filled with white couches and crystal chandeliers, rooms with black couches and dozens of large, flat-screen tvs, pool tables, more couches and lounge areas, and some smaller dance areas as well. Even if you don't like clubs or dancing, I highly recommend Kapital as an experience you can't miss in Madrid. Stay until the early hours of the morning, then pick up some churros as the sun rises before your walk back home. A great experience.

Dress Code: I don't think there was a dress code, but people seemed to be slightly dressed up.

On the Saturday night the bar men were muscular and handsome...The decour was beautiful and classy, gave a really good upmarket feel to the club. There were both male and female dancers on tabels (tranvestite on the Sunday night) and 2 rooms with D.J'S and several bars. Lovely to walk form one room through to the other. Sunday night also had Playboy TV present (very funny to see). I will definatly go back to this club on my next Madrid trip.

Dress Code: There did not seem to be a dress code as such., but nobody will stop you for wearing your prada heels :)

We found a treasure: an old restaurant named Chicote, which had been kept in the style of its golden years. That is why its colours are quite dark and many may not like it. But it is history: It used to be a place where people like Frank Sinatra, Ava Gardner and Salvador Dali (and many more) used to spend their evenings.

On the walls you can find some old pictures and other memorabilia of the time of the stars. A very nice place after all these cold this century's discos and clubs.

Just for information: the place is not a disco, there is no live music nor dance floor. It is mainly meant for having a drink, meeting friends, talking, perhaps later going to a disco or nightclub.

Dress Code: No dress code. Here again anyhow please remember the usual European (the more south, the more important) culture and habit: men should always wear trousers or jeans in the evenings, never shorts or sports gear.
(In the Mediterranean countries the men never wear shorts even at daytime at summer in cities; always trousers. An exception to this is of course the fact that when they are on the beach when they have a day off or are on a holiday). That is not trying to look "better or richer than I am" or "trying to get girls" or anything as stupid - it is simply respect towards their companion, the food, their family and so on.

An old palace turned inte a nightclub is a splendid idea and the people behind this nightclub has succeeded to 100%!

You feel like a visitor to the palace owner transfered back to the 18th century. A lot of different dancefloors which gives everyone what they want. Crowded with happy and pleasant people.

Dress Code: Not to casual
