frequently asked questions
What time does nightlife in Madrid start and end?
Most bars get busy around 11 PM. Clubs don’t fill up until 1–2 AM and often stay open until 6–7 AM.
Do I need to show ID to get into clubs and bars?
Yes. Spanish law requires venues to check ID. Bring a passport, EU ID card, or driver’s license — photos on your phone won’t work.
What is the legal drinking age in Spain?
18 years old. Anyone under 18 can’t legally buy or drink alcohol in bars, clubs, or public places
Do clubs in Madrid have a dress code?
Yes, most big clubs require “smart casual”: no flip-flops, sports jerseys, or dirty sneakers. Clean trainers, jeans, and nice tops usually work.
Is Madrid safe at night?
Madrid is generally safe, even late at night. Stay with friends, watch your drinks, and keep valuables close in busy areas.
Do I need to pay an entry fee everywhere?
Many bars are free. Clubs often charge €15–€20, usually with one or two drinks included — unless you’re on our guest list.
Can I join a club or pub crawl alone?
Absolutely. Many travelers join solo and meet new friends quickly. Crawls are built for making connections.
Are there specific Erasmus or student nights?
Yes — Thursdays are typically huge Erasmus nights, with discounted entry and drinks for students and young travelers.
How can I skip the lines at popular clubs?
Use our guest list, reserve a VIP table with us, or join our trusted pub crawl.
Do venues accept card payments?
Most do, but some smaller bars are cash-only. Carry a bit of cash for speed and convenience.
Is tipping required in Madrid bars and clubs?
Tipping isn’t mandatory in Spain. If you had great service, leaving €1–€2 or rounding up your bill is appreciated but not expected.
Can you drink alcohol on the streets in Madrid?
No — public drinking (“botellón”) is not allowed and can lead to fines. Stick to bars, terraces, and venues to enjoy your drinks legally.
