Review of Madrid’s Calle 365 secret alley club, with VIP entry, drinks, empanadas, Colombian décor, timing, value, and practical tips.
“I arrived at about 18:30 as my ticket stated between 18:00 & 20:00. The place was dead. Just a few blokes milling about who were friends of staff. The ticket said included ‘alcoholic drinkS & DINNER’ this turned out to be two small bottles of mediocre beer and two bite sized chicken ‘things’ see picture’. By 20:00 another two small groups of people came in but I left. I suspect if it gets more visitors, probably after 22:00 then the atmosphere may improve. The decor was stunning but without any ‘party goers’ it was somewhat superfluous . Drinks, if you wanted more were quite expensive and after observing some cocktails…”

Madrid pub crawl review covering clubs, shots, guides, timing, value, meeting point, and who should book this late-night experience.
“We honestly expected something different from the tour descriptions and reviews here online. The tour plan was changed last minute and we didn't meet in el Tigre Sidra bar. Instead we were sent to Sol where we had to look for another group, excluding Mike. We weren't so satisfied with the tour that followed either. It wasn't actually a pub crawl but rather a club tour. We didn't go to any bar, so it was actually very difficult to talk and get to know the people that were part of the tour. I also didn't feel like the guides were close to the group and they hardly gave us any…”
