This is our list of some nice places to go at night when you're in Madrid. Formed after months of intensive research and the consumption of many 'combinados' we hope you appreciate how hard Madrid Uno works for you...!
We'll be adding to the list as the months go on - so many good places it's sometimes hard to select. We also encourage any readers to contact us if you think we've missed a great place and that it should be included.
If you have a passion for the the digital arts we recommend you stop by La Casa Encendida. This is a community run centre, supported by the local government (communidad), that is a focus for technology culture - electronic music, digital photography, video etc. For the summer months (July and August) there are regular concerts and on Sundays a regular 'DJs en la Terraza' session. Entrance is usually only 1 euroweeny and it's a great place to find out what is going on elsewhere in town as well.
