Madrid Pub Crawl: VIP Entry, Shots & Club Access

Meet your crew and skip the line at Madrid's best clubs

A Madrid pub crawl led by professional party hosts that moves through three city-center bars and ends at a top nightclub with VIP access included. The crawl starts at 23:00 at La Ostia in Sol and spends 45–50 minutes at each venue, where you get a free shot, drinking games, and discounted drink deals. You'll meet an international mix of travelers, Erasmus students and locals. Groups of 7–21 get a bottle of cava to share. The club at the end changes nightly: Shoko on Friday and Saturday, Teatro Kapital on Thursday, Barcelo on Monday and Wednesday, and others on remaining nights.

The experience

The crawl starts at La Ostia in Sol at 23:00 sharp. Arrive by 23:20 so the group doesn't leave without you. Your professional host keeps the energy high and the introductions flowing. You'll play drinking games and dares designed to turn a room of strangers into a crew within the first bar. Each of the three venues gives you a free shot at the door, and the staff will point out the discounted drink deals available only to the crawl group.

You spend roughly 45–50 minutes at each bar, which is enough time to settle in, play a round or two, and move before the momentum drops. The bars are in the city center and chosen to skip the tourist traps. This is where locals and visiting students actually go. Once the three bars are done, the group heads to the final club with VIP entry included, meaning you walk past the line at the door. Which club depends on the night: Shoko on Friday and Saturday, Teatro Kapital on Thursday, Barcelo on Monday and Wednesday, and rotating venues on the others. The club stays open until 6:00 a.m., so you can keep going as long as you want.

Groups booking 7–21 people get a bottle of cava to share at the start, turning the first bar into a proper celebration. Dress code is smart casual and you'll need ID. The crawl runs every night of the week, and the vibe stays consistent: high energy, international, and built around meeting people rather than ticking off landmarks.
