Looking to spice up your night in Madrid? This VIP pub crawl offers an energetic way to explore the city’s best bars and clubs, all while enjoying free drinks and skip-the-line VIP access. For just $27 per person, you get to hop between 34 bars and a nightclub, with 45 minutes of unlimited beer and sangria to kick off each evening.
What we really like is the early start at 10 PM, giving you more time to party without feeling rushed. Plus, the group vibe is lively, with travelers from all over the world, including Erasmus students and solo adventurers. One of the standout perks is the free shots at every stop and special drink discounts—something that makes the night feel exclusive and fun.

Madrid is famous for its nightlife, and this tour promises to unlock its best-kept secrets. The idea is simple: start at Mulberry’s · Shisha Madrid at 10 PM, meet your energetic guide (such as Muratti or Sisi, based on instructions), and kick off with unlimited beer and sangria for 45 minutes. This pre-game sets a lively tone, and the fact that the drinks are unlimited is a big plus—especially when many other tours charge extra for drinks or have limited options.
You’ll have a wristband to identify your group, along with a friendly guide who’s supposed to keep the energy high and help with social activities. From there, the night flows through three or more bars, each offering free shots, drink deals, and a different ambiance. The first stop, Mulberry’s, is a relaxed, social spot perfect for warming up. Expect a mix of locals and travelers, with a chance to meet new people early on.
Next, you’ll move to Dali bar or Enbabia Library Bar, where the vibe shifts to stylish and buzzing, with free shots and affordable drinks. These venues tend to be elegant but lively, packed with students, locals, and travelers alike. The reviews mention how much guests appreciate the free shots at each venue—an attractive perk that really adds to the feeling of getting a good deal.
The third stop often features Hood Dogs by Planet Club or Manama Disco—where the music turns louder and the energy ramps up. Bright lights, pounding music, more free shots, and dancing are the order of the night. The guide’s role here is crucial: keeping everyone together and hyped up for the final part of the evening.
The night ends at one of Madrid’s iconic clubs, with VIP skip-the-line entry. Most nights, the final venue varies—Teatro Barceló, SHOKO, or Teresa Club, depending on the day. This is where you’ll experience Madrid’s legendary club scene, often until sunrise if you’re still up for it. The special deals on bottles and VIP tables can make the experience feel like a true Madrid insider.
At $27, this pub crawl offers an impressive array of benefits. The inclusion of VIP club entry means you skip long lines—a major advantage in Madrid’s popular nightlife. The unlimited beer and sangria (for 45 minutes) is excellent value, especially since the tour also includes free shots at each stop. The drink discounts and optional VIP tables can make the night feel luxurious without breaking the bank.
However, some reviews reveal inconsistency. A few travelers faced communication issues, difficulty locating the guide, or frustration with organizational failures. For example, one reviewer mentioned they waited in front of the meeting point for hours and couldn’t reach the guide, which highlights the importance of punctuality and communication. Others noted that street closures and last-minute changes caught the organizers off guard, causing confusion.
Despite these hiccups, many guests praise the lively guides and the overall atmosphere of fun and camaraderie. It’s particularly appealing if you enjoy meeting new people and are ready to start the night early and go hard.
Start at Mulberry’s (10 PM):
The warm-up phase. Here, you’re greeted with welcome drinks and can mingle with other travelers. The unlimited beer and sangria are served for 45 minutes, giving everyone a chance to relax and get comfortable.
Second venue (around 11:30 PM):
Moving on to a more stylish bar like Dali or Enbabia, you’ll find free shots and affordable drinks. These venues often attract locals, giving you a taste of Madrid’s sophisticated bar scene.
Third stop (midnight onward):
The energy explodes at places like Hood Dogs or Manama Disco, where loud music and dance take over. Expect free shots, dancing, and international crowds. The guides’ role here is to ensure everyone stays together, making it a safe and lively experience.
Final club (after 2:30 AM):
The crescendo of the night—a top Madrid nightclub with VIP entry, optional bottle service, and a chance to dance until dawn. The specific club rotates each night, but all offer a classic Madrid clubbing experience.
Despite some organizational flaws, many travelers enjoy the authentic Madrid nightlife this tour provides. The group dynamic often means making new friends and sharing stories with travelers from around the world. The free drinks at each stop significantly enhance the sense of value, and the skip-the-line access reduces waiting time, especially on busy weekends.
However, some reviews warn about poor communication and guide availability, which can result in confusion or missed venues. Travelers should be prepared for potential last-minute changes and ensure they stay in touch via WhatsApp or other messaging.
This pub crawl is ideal for adventurous party-goers who want to maximize their Madrid night experience without spending a fortune. It’s perfect for solo travelers looking to meet international friends, students, or groups celebrating special occasions like birthdays (which include free drinks and tequila if booked in advance). If you enjoy starting early, drinking freely, and dancing until dawn, you’ll find this tour well worth it.
Conversely, if you prefer a more relaxed night or experience organizational reliability first, this might not be your best choice. The possibility of logistical issues means it’s better suited for travelers who are flexible and social.
This Madrid VIP pub crawl offers a lively, social way to experience the city’s nightlife, especially if you’re after free drinks, skip-the-line club access, and meeting international travelers. The early start and free shots make it stand apart from more traditional pub tours, providing good value for those eager to make the most of their night.
While some guests have faced organizational hurdles, many enjoy the fun atmosphere, diverse venues, and a chance to dance until sunrise. It’s a great option for solo travelers, students, or birthday celebrations who want an authentic Madrid night out with a spirited group.
