  3. Madrid Clubs - Nightclubs in Madrid

There are a handful of factors that distinguish Madrid nightclubs from bars.

Closing time: 3.30am - dawn
Size: they tend to be larger than bars and, due to Spain's new smoking laws, might have a non-smoking section.
Music: DJs and sometimes live music. The most prevalent style is house, techno or electronic, but you can also find funk, hip hop and rock.
Price: the vast majority of Madrid nightclubs charge at the door (8€-15 €), but the cover usually includes a "consumición," a drink of any kind. Once inside, prices skyrocket compared to bars. Beers cost 5€, mixed drinks 6€ and up.

Below, a sampling of some popular nightclubs in Madrid. For a reccommended weekend itinerary round Madrid clubs check out our Weekend in Madrid guide.
