Pub Crawl Madrid by Mad Party Crew

Madrid nightlife can feel like a maze. This pub crawl turns the chaos into a 4 to 6 hour plan with VIP access and included entry to major stops, starting at 10:00 pm.

Two things I really like: the night has built-in momentum with scheduled 1-hour hops, and you get free shots plus drink discounts at every stop. One drawback to consider: popular clubs can get crowded, so entry lines can slow the vibe if you arrive right at the buzzy time.

Key Points

• Free VIP access at every stop, with a free shot included
• 3 bar-pubs plus 1 big nightclub as part of one ticketed route
• Day-of-week lineup at Shoko Madrid, with Sundays listing Manama Disco
• English-speaking hosts and a group size capped at 150 people
• No transport included, so plan your route to the meeting point

A Madrid Pub Crawl Built for Easy Club-Hopping

Madrid at night can swing from cozy bars to loud clubs fast. This kind of pub crawl works because it controls the order of stops, keeps you moving, and handles the door-entry chaos that can eat up an entire evening.

What you’re buying is not just places to drink. You’re buying a structure for meeting people, getting cheap drinks while you’re there, and ending the night at the kind of venue that’s hard to time correctly on your own.

I like that the plan is simple: three earlier stops, each about an hour, then the main nightclub window later. I also like that the package language is consistent across stops, meaning you’re not guessing what’s included as you go.

One thing to keep in mind, big crowds are part of the Madrid nightlife story. If a venue is packed, any pub crawl can feel a bit like a bottleneck. Your best move is to stay close to the group and go with the flow.

Price and Value: Why $20.56 Can Add Up Fast

$20.56 is low for a night that includes access to multiple venues plus free shots. Even if you cut the night down to just the drinks part, the math often looks good fast when alcohol is included in a repeatable way.

Here’s what your ticket covers:

• Admission access at each listed stop
• Alcoholic beverages in the form of free shots at the places you visit
• Access to 3 bar-pubs and 1 big nightclub
• Gratuities

What’s not covered is the one thing that can quietly add cost for some people, transport. If you’re starting far from Centro, plan and budget for getting to C. de Núñez de Arce, 9.

My practical take on value: this is a solid pick if you want a guided nightlife route and you’re the type who likes to keep the night moving. If you mainly want one or two bars and then a long hang in one spot, you may feel like the schedule is tugging you along.

Meeting Point, Start Time, and What to Wear in Madrid

This night starts at 10:00 pm, so treat it like a proper late-evening plan. The meeting point is C. de Núñez de Arce, 9, Centro, 28012 Madrid, and the tour ends in Centro after the final venue.

The dress code is clear, and you do not want to get stuck with the wrong outfit at the door. For men: no gym clothes, no sandals, and no short pants.

Also note the tour is offered in English and it’s capped at a maximum of 150 people. That number is big enough to feel social, but not so huge that you can’t find your group.

One small but important mindset tip: because you start at 10 pm and hit multiple venues, you will want to be ready to move. If you’re the kind of person who arrives 15 minutes late and likes to browse, plan for that to cost you time.

Stop 1: Enbabia Bar and the VIP Shot Momentum

Your first hour is at Enbabia Bar. This stop comes with free VIP access, and that VIP access is more than a marketing label.

What you get here:

• Free VIP access, including the option to reserve a table
• A special discount if you reserve table service with bottles
• Discounts on international and national drinks
• A free shot

Why this first stop matters: it sets the tone and gets you into the scene without starting the night stuck in confusion outside. It also helps if you’re solo, because the first location is where people often loosen up and start talking.

Potential drawback: as the night starts, bars can still build crowd energy fast. The VIP benefits help, but if you’re trying to micromanage your timing, you might feel the pressure of keeping the group rhythm.

My advice for Stop 1: arrive ready to order your shot deal quickly. Then you can decide whether you want to stay chatting or bounce with the flow at the hour mark.

Stop 2: Hood Dogs by Planet Club, Same Deal, Different Vibe

The second stop is Hood Dogs by Planet Club, another one-hour stop. It uses the same core VIP package style, so you can expect a familiar setup when you arrive.

Included at this stop:

• Free VIP access with the option of reserving a table with bottles at a special discount
• Discounts on international and national drinks
• A free shot
• Admission ticket included

This stop is useful for one simple reason: it changes the atmosphere while keeping costs controlled. You’re not just drinking at one venue. You’re sampling different nightlife environments while the ticket handles entry.

Possible drawback: club culture often means louder music and tighter movement. If you’re sensitive to noise or crowds, you may prefer to grab your drink and step aside briefly between the loudest moments.

My practical move: at this second stop, don’t try to stay perfectly centered all night. You will have an easier time if you allow space for traffic flow and keep an eye on where the group is forming.

Stop 3: Manama Disco, Another Hour of Included Access

Stop 3 is Manama Disco for about one hour. Like the earlier stops, the package includes free VIP access and admission.

Included elements:

• Free VIP access with the option to reserve a table with bottles at a special discount
• Discounts on international and national drinks
• A free shot
• Admission ticket free

Why I think this stop fits well in the middle: it’s a bridge between casual bar energy and the final nightclub push. You’ve already started the night. Now you’re leveling up without losing the benefit of included entry and shot deals.

Where this can feel tricky: by the time you reach the middle stop, people may be a bit more relaxed or a bit more chaotic. If the group energy gets uneven, you might need to take initiative to meet people yourself.

The upside, this is often when a pub crawl turns into a real night out. You start recognizing faces, and the social part becomes less awkward.

Stop 4: Shoko Madrid by Day of Week, The Main Night Window

Stop 4 is where the itinerary turns into the big-club payoff. It’s scheduled for about 3 hours, which means it’s not just a quick photo-op stop.

The club lineup depends on the day:

• Mondays: FUC*ING Mondays
• Tuesdays: Samsara Club
• Wednesdays: Fitz Club
• Thursdays: ICON Club
• Fridays and Saturdays: Shoko Club
• Sundays: Manama Disco

Each night in this slot includes free VIP access, discounted national and international drinks, and a free shot. The admission ticket is included as well.

Why the final slot is the smartest part of the route: you get the longest chunk of time. That matters because lines, bathroom breaks, and ordering drinks take time. A 3-hour block helps you actually enjoy the music instead of rushing through it.

One consideration: when you hit the biggest venue of the night, crowding risk rises. If entry lines are long, your best bet is to stick close to the group timing and not wander too far.

The Hosts, the Social Part, and How Friends Usually Happen

A big reason this pub crawl works is the human glue. Guides like Kevin and Ben show up often in the feedback, and other names like Maria and Sarah also appear. That matters because people don’t just need a route. They need someone to keep momentum and help the night feel shared.

From the tone of the feedback, the best results come when you lean in. If you’re solo, this style of tour can make meeting people much easier than randomly picking bars. The group moves on schedule, so you get repeated chances to connect without awkward pauses.

My small reality check: not every host experience is identical. Some people care more about socializing, others care more about music and dancing. If you are expecting constant party-friend networking at every moment, you might find the experience more lively when the group gels naturally.

A practical tip: at each stop, try to connect early, then use the next venue as your reset. That way, you’re not stuck with the same awkward dynamic all night.

What You Should Expect Inside Each Venue

This is a ticketed route through multiple venues, and the package includes VIP access and free shots. That usually means faster entry and better odds you’ll get the deal you paid for.

Here’s what you can expect as the pattern repeats:

• You arrive at each stop, use the included access, and get your free shot
• Drinks have discounts for both national and international options
• There’s an option mentioned for table reservations with bottles and a special discount, though that’s optional

The pacing is built around 1-hour chunks for the first three stops, then a longer final club. That’s a nice rhythm because it keeps you from overcommitting to one place too early.

But nightlife reality is still nightlife reality. Doors, crowding, and music volume are not fully controllable. If you want a slow, laid-back night, this may feel like it moves too quickly. If you want a party ladder from bar to club, it’s a good fit.

Who This Pub Crawl Is Best For (and Who Might Prefer DIY)

This works especially well for solo people who want structure and a better shot at meeting others. The feedback strongly points to the social aspect, and the format naturally encourages conversation because you’re together for multiple transitions.

It’s also a good option if you want a guided version of Madrid nightlife without spending time figuring out where to go next. The tour is designed to skip the navigation stress, and it routes you through familiar nightlife hubs.

Who might not love it:

• People who hate crowds or long lines
• People who prefer one or two venues for hours instead of rotating
• People who want total freedom to stay late wherever the mood hits

Also, the overall vibe is likely more youth-oriented than a quiet dinner crowd, based on how some feedback frames the demographic feel. If that’s not your style, choose carefully and go in with eyes open.

Should You Book Pub Crawl Madrid by Mad Party Crew?

If your goal is a low-cost, structured Madrid nightlife night with free shots and included access to multiple venues, I’d say this is worth booking. The rating is very strong, it’s English-speaking, and the schedule is built for meeting people while still ending in a serious club setting.

Book it if:

• You want to hit several stops without planning each one
• You like the idea of a guided night where entry and drink deals are handled
• You’re okay with a crowd at the end and you’ll follow the group timing

Skip it or consider alternatives if:

• You want a slow night with no pressure to move
• You’re very sensitive to crowding at popular clubs
• You do not drink shots or do not care about discounted drinks, since your value depends on using the included drink deals

Bottom line: this is a good deal for nightlife seekers who want momentum, social energy, and an easier path into Madrid’s club scene.
