Widely considered as Madrid's most sophisticated cocktail lounge during the 1940s and 1950s, it attracted famous drinkers like Hemingway and Ava Gardner. Today you can sip coktails and look at the array of pictures from days gone by. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: Located on the Gran ViaPhone: 91 5326737

Plaza Dos de Mayo is the heart of the Malasaña district and Madrid´s alternaitve scene and in the summer its a great place to sit at one of the outdoor cafes (if you can find a free table) and have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere. The crowd is mainly 30s and under but everyone is welcome. There are lots of cool bars around this area too. Its not very touristy but very popular with the young and the hip from here and all over.
However you want Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingDirections: Walk from Metro Tribunal on calle La palma, take a right on C/ San Andres, and you are there.

Around this square, close to Plaza del sol, you can find many coffe pubs, restaurants, and places to dance till alte.
I do not know why, but for a long time, when ever my friends took me for a night out, we always finished here, but I have to say I had great nights around. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Wow! What A place... Currently "The" place to be seen in Madrid. Located at the former Reina Victoria Hotel (basically a hip rebranding by Sol Melia Hotels) and dominating Plaza De Santa Ana lies the rooftop bar at "ME By Melia".
Seven floors up and decked out in sumptous furniture, featuring cosy enclosed sofas in neutral fabrics and rustic effects... all on different terraced levels. Great views over the city and and wonderful place to sit and sip cocktails whilst people-watching... ermmm, oh yeh, very sexy bar staff to serve you those cocktails too.
Not cheap for drinks but you're paying for location here also. Do it... an amazing place, well worth the money.
I had a sneak look in the day too... see the other 4 pics!!! Theme: Eating and DrinkingAddress: ME By Melia, Plaza De Santa Ana.Phone: 902 14 44 40Directions: The largest and most impressive building overlooking Plaza De Santa Ana.Website: http://www.mebymelia.com/

Lavapies is a neighborhood just south of Sol centering around the metro stop Lavapies. I am not recommending this area to just anyone though because it is not the place to go if you look like you are carrying a lot of money. The area is working class and home to many new immigrants which means you wont find fancy establishments that apeal to people who want to see and be seen.
BUT, if you are looking for cheap morrocan, arabic and indian food and grocery stores, boehemian bars and tea houses and something a little different OFF the tourist track and within walking distance, this is the place for you. I always go to this area to get great pita bread, tahine paste and other spices. Cafe Barbieri which is similar to Cafe Manuela is in this area, near the Metro Stop of Lavapies.(See picture) Great specialty coffees, hot chocolate and coctails. This cafe feels like you are stepping back in time to a bar that was already getting old in the 20s. With original mirrors on the walls and creaking floors included. Just up Calle Ave Maria from the Metro Lavapies.
Along the street Argumosa which runs to Atocha are several bars popular with expats such as "Automatico" and a great bar de "Tostas" which are like big canapes, toasted bread with tasty and tasteful toppings, and good wine. Farther down is an English language book shop "La libreria de Lavapies." If you go to the end of Argumosa you arrive at the new wing of the Reina Sofia Museum near Atocha.
Morrocan food and gift shops, complete with tea pots and glasses, trinkets and other imported-direct-from-Morrocco things are on Calle Tribulete.
Casual, sans the diamond jewelry. Leave a Comment Theme: Eating and DrinkingDirections: From Tirso de Molina plaza walk south along Calle Lavapies just on the left of the theatre. Or take the metro line 3 to "Lavapies".

Nighlife in Madrid is great. Lots of differents places to go: dancing, drinking and eating tapas(small dishes with different food), only a beer!
Lots of different areas. It's amazing because you can go out everynight.
My place for a WEEKDAY or a coffe on SUNDAY AFTERNOON is called CAFE BELEN(Belén, 5)Picture on the left.
It is a small cafe/bar where you can chat/drink something and you don't need speakers to hear the conversation. Music is quite nice, and there are always pictures exhibitions on the walls. You can't miss the table at the back with a world map inside. Part of the floor is old and beautiful in brown and the colums are gorgeus!!!
FRIDAYS AnD SATURDAYS:
Go to LA COCTELERIA to start the night(minas,1 Metro Noviciado) junkstore-chic style for your mojitos.The perfect chill-out.
DUCADOS CAFÉ (Plza. de Canalejas 3)is another option for your mojitos and daiquiris. Nice music and friendly people upstairs and downstairs. Upstairs: enjoy the wonderful Cuba photos! Downstairs: see the starts in the roof, beatiful fishes!
To go clubbing (on Saturday: everything crowded, you can't even dance) you can choose between my 2 favourites clubs:
#1. NASTY CLUB in San Vicente Ferrer,35(Metro Tribunal). Only if you like and dance electronic music!!!#2. POLANA Barbieri, 10(Metro Chueca) feel free dancing all kind of music, go late(3a.m).
Perfect Sunday morning post Rastro or if you haven't slept, any bar in La Latina area: starting in packed EL BONNANO(Pl del Humilladero, 4) Spanish tapas bar serving 'boquerones', cañas(beers) and copas(alcohol drinks). I love the nests with eggs on the walls and claras(lemon with beer). Leave a Comment Theme: Live Music

Here is where the revolution would begging, where you can smell marihuana and wear your Che-Gevara t-shirt without any compromise, rastas, piercings and tatoos, rock and psicodelia, and not much dancing but smoking.
Don't wear here your Polo Ralph Laurent or your last of Dolce Gabanna. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Plaza Del Dos De Mayo and SorroundingsDirections: metros: Bilbao and Tribunal
