Wow! And I mean WOW!! The last time I visited a club like this was the erstwhile Juliana's in Tokyo…read moreback in the early 1990s. I went with a group, and it definitely helps that one of us knew the owners of this place as we were escorted straight into a VIP elevator which took us to the top floor -- a rooftop club with a retractable ceiling and a HUGE full bar! We started the night up there and it was only us, no other people. What a treat! Afterward, we took the elevator back down to the main venue, a giant hall with lots of private tables and dancers up on stage. I noticed that Teatro Kapital was celebrating its 30th anniversary, which means it outlasted Juliana's in Tokyo by three decades! :-D Next time I'm in Madrid, Teatro Kapital is going to be in my rotation!

Although I'm past my prime, I still need to pay my respect to the nightlife of Madrid. If there's…read moreone place you've heard of, it has to be Kapital. Kapital is a Madrid landmark. This multi level club is famous for how huge it is, each floor offering a different vibe and music style. While Kapital wasn't my every week kind of club like some of the smaller ones in the city, it's an absolute must experience at least once or twice! You can usually expect to pay a cover and watch your stuff, because pickpocketers are out here thriving! Once inside, choose your own adventure!

Yes the music is often cheesy and yes the decor is abhorrent... Everything from Tranny's to suits, to costumes, to hotties.... type in 69 Petalos in youtube for a bunch of promotional videos - a very unique experience with a really fun vibe... always had fun when I ventured here... If you are too cool for school and extremely uptight then would recommend you avoid this place!

I was looking forward to a dance club and fun place to experience Madrid - a friend gave me her…read moremember key - I thought it would welcome us but it meant nothing. As we were entering the club the price kept changing it started at 18 Euros and ended up being 79 in a matter of three minutes. We honestly felt they were scamming us. The woman who greets and may own the club shoved my wife. Madrid which is a wonderful friendly place showed me a rude and sad side that reflects that a visitor who loves life and fun and was ready to spend money was not welcome. We left and I am happy that we did not get inside. My night ended on a bad note because this club has a very strange sense of hospitality - I hope that some day the people at this club learn that being rude is bad for Madrid. This club is not worth visiting.

I had so much fun here! It's a bit pricey to get in, 20 Euros, but it does include a free cocktail…read moreor beer. If you are not a dancer, this place isn't for you. You need to know how to dance bachata as well as Salsa (on 1 or on 2) to have a good time, unless you enjoy just watching (but you will get asked to dance all night). I'm a salsa dancer that regularly performs, so I loved the vibe. I was sad I didn't bring my salsa shoes, I didn't pack them when we left the US. Most of the women had professional dance shoes on. The Spanish love sensual bachata, so if you're used to traditional Dominican bachata, be prepared. Sensual bachata is so fun, but maybe take a class or two before coming here so you're prepared.

Overpriced Drinks 10EURs for a drink and the atmosphere was average. The music was also half assed…read more I would say only 50% of the songs were dance-able to. What is worse? The bartenders will take your credit card, put it in the machine, and not allow you to select the option you want to pay in. Given that my credit card was a US based card and had no foreign transaction fees, they would select the option to use USD which charges an additional 3% charge (vs. local currency which is what I wanted)........ Complete BULLSHIT and high degrees of STUPIDITY from the bartenders.

Shôko is a huge club!! Only open on the weekends and everyone surely comes out. We came here twice…read moreand both nights the line was so long. One night it was raining hard and everyone was still waiting on line. We had wristbands from the lovely promoters from Clubbers Tour Madrid. Shôko was one of the clubs included in the wristband so we just had to pay for drinks which was about 12€ for 2 drinks. We ordered the drink tickets right at the entrance of the club because cocktails are more expensive at the bar inside. It can get extremely packed in here so just be prepared. It can be a bit much if you like lowkey lounges or don't like big crowds You gotta push through to the bar, there's a long wait for drinks, and long wait for the ladies room. VIP is upstairs. Heard lots of Reggaeton, a little hip hop & pop with Reggaeton beats, and a tad bit of Reggae. Very live spot. If you love to dance and have a good time, wait on that line!

Its a jam session sort of feel and the band members swap out and all sorts of talents show up to participate. There were rappers, singers, dancers, instrumentalists. And my best friend that I was with got up there and tore the house down. Everyone loved her. It was amazing. There is such a welcoming spirit here. Another singer, Ginger, made sure we were introduced to people. Christina bought us drinks. People danced with me. I couldn't have had a better experience here. The decor is very urban, jazzy, blues-ie, and the crowd was so diverse. Definitely my kind of spot. Made our last night in Madrid a winner.

This is exactly the reason Madrid is a "night city." At first I didn't understand, but with events…read morelike Barco starting at midnight in the middle of the week. I get it. On the particular night I visited, Freshness was performing. It's a jam session, the group plays and sings as if it's improvised. The singer sings random things, random songs, sometimes make up the words, sometimes actual songs they wrote. Once he looked at his two guitarists and sang, "whaaaaaaaaat are you doing????" because they were totally lost. Freshness had a guitarist, bass, drummer, trumpet, keyboard. They play and accompany the singer, and they're very good!! A moment later, somebody from the audience asks, "Hey can I play the next song with you?" and swaps with the guitarist. Later someone swapped with the drummer. We had 2 other different singers as the main singer went to bar to take shots. The keyboard guy is cute, he got a solo and he's amazing. It's thanks to the singer (who's so lovely, I talked to him of course!!!), I find him really cute too and he's full of energy. It's thanks to him I want to take dance classes again! That is one highlight of Barco, but they have tons of other musicians play. Freshness plays every Wednesday. AND OH YES, you meet a LOT of locals here. But also a lot of tourists, because nobody really goes out Wednesday nights. (Back in Toronto, Wednesdays are study days) The bartenders are snobby. It's 5€ for a Mahou beer though. I for one had a lot of fun here, I got a cute guy's number (but we never chatted after hahaha), and the atmosphere is soooooo cool. I arrived at 11:45pm and nobody was there, I asked if there's a show? The show starts at 12:30am, intermission at 2, then starts again at 2:30am. Crazy huh? And these locals have work at 9 the next day! I LOVE THIS!!! You only live once! The bar got a LOT busier at around 1am. By busy, I really mean it! A lot of people!! Almost club-like! Ah, Malasaña you're so cool.
