FAQ
Can I wear trainers to a Madrid club?
At casual clubs, clean street trainers are usually fine. At smart clubs wear shoes or smart trainers; sports and running shoes are the first thing to be turned away.
What does a smart dress code mean?
A neat outfit: long trousers, shirt or polo and shoes for men; a dress, skirt or smart trousers for women. No sportswear, flip-flops or swimwear.
Can I wear shorts?
In summer some clubs allow them for women, but rarely for men. If in doubt, wear long trousers.
Who decides whether I get in?
The door has the final say, even if you have a ticket. That is why it pays to dress a notch smarter than the stated dress code.
