Kikekeller
As soon as the lights of this wonderful decor shop are turned off, some other lights that illuminate their secret bar are turned on. Located in the very heart of Madrid's hippiest neighborhood, Kikekeller is a designer furniture store by day and a clandestine bar by night.
Palermo
Housed in the garage of a villa in Arturo Soria, Bar Palermo has one of the most eccentric locations in Madrid. It gives out the vibes of a New York speakeasy in Prohibition. It has somewhat of an irresistible aura about it which makes it a perfect, exciting spot to take someone you want to impress to.
Pinkoco
Walk into Pinkoco during the day and it is a boho natural cosmetics store with tropical style decor, costume jewelry and women's accessories, but open their doors after 6 p.m and you'll find a the best place for an Italian appetizer and many cocktails. Like Cinderella, the bar disappears at midnight to appear as a cosmetics store again during the day.
Club Clandestino
Cannibal Raw has a wonderful raw menu but what's not mentioned on the menu is the bar hiding in the basement. Club Clandestino is a vaulted place that is open till 6 a.m serving cocktails and concerts. Of course there is a password that changes every month so we suggest making some local friends to join the exclusive list.
