Madrid Pub Crawl: 4 Bars, Big Club & Free Shots Night Tour

Summary

Madrid nightlife walking tour with bars club entry shots

You’ll jump straight into Madrid’s wildest pub crawl—four unique bars, five free shots (yes, really), skipping lines at every stop, and ending up in a huge club with VIP entrance. Guides keep everyone together so you can just let loose, meet people from all over, and maybe even pick up a new drinking song or two.

What’s the experience like?

First thing I noticed was the hum — voices bouncing off the old stone walls outside the party hostel in Madrid, everyone half-shouting names and where they’re from. Our guide, Elena, had this way of making you feel like you’d already known her for ages. She handed me a wristband and grinned, “Keep up tonight!” The air smelled like spilled beer and cologne and something fried drifting in from a side street. I didn’t expect to start laughing so fast — but someone from Dublin tried teaching us a drinking song right there in the cave bar. Didn’t get it right at all but nobody cared.

The pub crawl moved quick — four bars across the center of Madrid, each with its own vibe. One place was all neon lights and sticky floors, another had old posters peeling off the walls and bartenders who winked when they poured your shot (tequila, salt, lemon — classic). We’d barely finished one drink before Elena waved us out again. It’s funny how fast strangers become friends after two rounds and some truly questionable dancing. At some point I realized I’d lost track of which street we were on but it felt safe because there were always guides nearby — they actually checked if everyone was still with us before moving on. That’s not something you always get on these things.

By the time we hit the big club (the line outside looked endless but we skipped it), my shirt was sticking to my back and my voice was already hoarse from shouting over music. The lights inside were this wild swirl of blue and purple — honestly, I still think about that view from the balcony down onto the dance floor. One of our group tried to order in Spanish; Li laughed so hard she nearly dropped her drink when he butchered “cerveza.” Not sure what time we left. I remember stepping out into cool air that smelled faintly like churros from somewhere nearby.
