The only things guaranteed at this grand old Madrid dance club (housed in a 19th-century theatre) are a crowd and the fact that it’ll be open (it claims to have operated every single day since 1981). The music and the crowd are a mixed bag, but queues are long and invariably include locals, tourists and the occasional famoso (celebrity).
Every night’s a little different but the weekend is all about the best that Madrid has to offer. There's even the sometime no-alcohol, no-smoking ‘Joy Light’ on Saturday evenings (5.30pm to 10pm) for teens aged between 14 and 17. Throw in live acts and cabaret-style performances on stage and it’s a point of reference for Madrid’s professional party crowd.
