Madrid nightlife If we talk about the Madrid nightlife in general, the entertainment profiles can be divided into two large parts: the actual night (aka – music) clubs and restaurants and cafes with summer terraces. Madrid nightclubsThere are dozens of nightclubs in the center of Madrid alone. Currently, these are multidisciplinary entertainment areas, although some clubs continue to maintain a narrow party format, attracting a certain category of guests. Gabana 1800The Gabana 1800 club is located in a former flamenco hall, and before still enjoys overwhelming success, both in Madrid itself and throughout Spain. The popularity of the club is not least due to the stellar character of the audience: everyone, from members of the royal family to local television stars, rests here.

The music is mostly represented by the Spanish pop scene, and closer to the night, the preponderance shifts towards the house. Buddha Del MarThe Budda Club del Mar is not a Buddhist temple at all, this the nightclub gained fame thanks to the frequent visits of Real Madrid players. It captivates the audience with its unique style, unique atmosphere and special music. It is mainly for people over 30 who rest here, and summer evenings are brightened up by increasing the area of the club with the help of a terrace. It is not uncommon for Buddha statues in the room, and it is not at all necessary to devote time entirely to the dance floor – you can go to the chill-out area, where visitors to the club can take a breath in a comfortable chair or on a couch in the company of soft drinks and Asian cuisine. Pacha MadridPacha club that has become a legend of Madrid – these are three floors of entertainment for every taste. The club is located in the premises of the former Barcelo theater, refurbished in the 1980s.

Now the night terraces of Madrid cafes and restaurants – it is a good tradition, without which it is impossible to imagine the modern look of the city.
