Where should I go on a Friday night in Madrid? What a difficult question. It took me a long time, and many weekends to find out where I fit in terms of nightlife in this amazing city. But now after almost a whole year, I am here to share my knowledge and guidance to help you have a night (or many), that you will never forget!

Hashtag Friday Madrid – My personal favorite

Hashtag Friday Madrid at Icon Club is the definitely the best choice in Madrid for a young and international crowd. The venue is conveniently located in the city center, has one of the best sound systems, has a huge dance floor, and it even has great VIP tables if you want to get fancy. The club is used to working with an international crowd, so no worries if you do not speak Spanish, and the prices are very reasonable. The music mix is commercial with a lot of Hip Hop, RNB and Reggaeton tunes. Give it a try and I am sure it will become one of your Friday night stomping grounds. Make sure you get on the guest list to take advantage of the best deals.

Teatro Kapital Madrid – The bigger the better

Teatro Kapital Madrid is always an option! It is very popular with tourists and internationals living in Madrid but also a hot spot for many locals. It is one of those places that you should go to at least once. It is absolutely huge. You have your choice from seven different floors, each with a different aesthetic, atmosphere, and music type. Most impressive is the main floor with live performances on stage and massive megatron shots from the ceiling. They are looking for a very specific profile and the door staff is very strict on that! To reduce the risk to be rejected I highly recommend you to read the Ultimate Club Guide for Teatro Kapital Madrid. After all, if you are in you will have the time of your life!

Teatro Barceló Madrid – The Spanish clubbing experience

If you are looking for something more authentic, the real Spanish clubbing experience is at Teatro Barceló Madrid! Located in the posh neighborhood of Salamanca, the club attracts young, fashionable, and fantastic people like yourself. They have three floors, one offers Commercial Music, the other is Regaetton and the last one Spanish Music. The main floor is especially popular for VIP tables. But beware all the tables and spots go very quickly, so get on the guest list or make your reservation asap. Important: The minimum age is 23 for girls and 24/25 for boys and they are very strict with that.

Opium Madrid – For the older generation

Opium Madrid is one the most expensive clubs and the door policy is very simple. You pay to get in. It does not matter where you are from or how you identify yourself, you could be 24 years young or 60 years old, money talks when it comes to this club. Opium Madrid attracts rich people who are looking for a super VIP zone with 100% privacy, wannabes, and people who are looking for good music. In general there are more men than women, however, they hire beautiful, lovely image girls who are there to spice up the night. Get on the guest list or make a bottle reservation before you go.
