In the heart of Madrid's nightlife, Barrio de Las Letras, also known as LAS LETRAS, stands out. Begin your night at Alimentacion Quiroga, a favorite local spot known for its delicious tapas and lively Spanish ambiance, all at very reasonable prices. Inclan Brutal Bar is next on the list, a vibrant cocktail bar with unique decor and innovative dishes like a bao served in a panda belly and duck fried rice presented in a duck.
Salmon Guru, another must-visit cocktail bar, offers the famous "Dragon's Daughter" cocktail, a blend of whiskey, coconut, red fruit, and lychee. Priced around 14 euros, it's a taste of luxury. For a fun early evening activity, Cheers Karaoke is where locals go to sing their hearts out. Then, switch gears at La Santoria, a cocktail bar where the drinks are crafted with globally sourced ingredients and served with special magic potions.
Macera Club, with its craft gin bar and basement techno club, is an ideal spot to end your night in Las Letras. Special tip: visit on a Thursday night before 11 pm to skip the cover charge and the line. In the Sol district, along Calle Gran Via, you'll find upscale shops and restaurants, as well as iconic sites like the neon-lit Schweppes building.
Malasaña, a bit north of SOL, is a hipster area known for its vintage shops. Start at the Nice To Meet You Rooftop Lounge for great views, then head to Lolina Vintage Cafe for a hangover brunch. For some nostalgic fun, visit Next Level Bar Arcade, filled with classic games and a retro vibe. Step back into the 1920s at Bad Company 1920, a speakeasy with a lively atmosphere and creative menu.
Navigating Madrid is easy, with plenty of buses, subways, and options like Bolt for affordable and convenient transport. Renting a local LIME bike is another great way to explore. To save on attractions and public transportation, consider the Madrid Go City Pass, a cost-effective choice for travelers planning to explore extensively. A trip to Madrid isn't complete without experiencing a live flamenco show. Corral de la Moreria, the city's oldest flamenco venue, offers an unforgettable performance.
This guide to Madrid's nightlife is just the beginning of what the city has to offer. Each district brings its unique flavor to the table, creating an unforgettable experience for every visitor. From the buzzing bars of LAS LETRAS to the romantic rooftops of Sol, Madrid's night scene is a vibrant tapestry of experiences waiting to be discovered.

![Eating Live Squid in Tokyo, Japan
Looking for a unique restaurant in Tokyo? than the IKA center in Shinjuku is your spot and is one of my hidden secrets in Tokyo because at this restaurant you can catch your own squid. Subscribe to my channel ► https://bit.ly/2aeuh9b for weekly videos!
Photos and extra tips on my blog:
https://www.reformatt.com/eating-live-squid-tokyo
The IKA Center [イカセンター] is located on the 4th floor across the massive Shinjuku station.
There is no English menu which could be the reason why this place isnt as widely known. Squid fishing starts at 3400 yen, roughly 30 US dollars per catch. Our dinner included an entire squid, a big tempura portion and drinks which came to 9400 yen, about 82 US dollars for 3 people.
The red water in the squid tank reminded me of the famous ocean of blood scene from the Japanese anime; Evangelion.
Squids have jets to propel themselves and use it to squirt ink and the last thing you want is getting squid ink all over your clothes, thats why we jumped into a bunch of raincoats.
Catching your own squid isnt that hard, you simply hook it straight out of the tank. Next, the squid is brought to the kitchen and freshly cut up into sashimi.
They sealed off the dining area with a plastic cover to prevent water being squirted around the restaurant by the squids.
Immediately after preparation, the raw squid tentacles are served, so fresh the squid tentacles are still moving on your plate.
Once we received the fully sliced head we had to dip it in a thick sauce made from ground up squid organs.
In conclusion, the IKA Center in Tokyo is a very unique restaurant worth a visit, especially for the eccentrics among us!
