Every other Sunday they have a R&B Soul kind of band. The singer Christine is amazing. I could…read morehave listened to her all night. 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.

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!

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!

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.
