Bars, discotheques, trendy nightclubs and live performance venues all compete for the business of Madrid’s many night owls. Those looking for more cultured and less hectic entertainment will also find plenty in the way if opera and theatre to choose from.
Popular areas to head of an evening include Alonso Martinez, Glorieta de Bilbao and Plaza de Santa Barbara where the young congregate to frequent the many pubs, bars and eateries that line the streets there. On fine nights, the terraces of the Parque del Oeste and the Paseo de la Castellana, make great spots to enjoy an open-air drink or two.
