Bogui Jazz

Chueca


One of Madrid's best-loved jazz clubs has finally reopened its doors after years of being closed (it fell foul of a council crackdown on licensing laws). It's picked up right where it left off, with 10.30pm live jazz shows from Thursday to Saturday, followed by rock DJs until dawn – an intoxicating mix.
