Oui is another one of those bars in Madrid that you probably won’t find the first time around – but persevere because it’s well worth a look. A frosted glass front lit by fairy lights, along with the inconspicuous looking doorman, are all that gives it away, and once inside Oui the originality continues.

The venue itself is one big square-shaped corridor, with the DJ booth tucked away in one corner and the L-shaped bar stretching along two sides of that square. The crowd of regulars are attracted by the dark and atmospheric vibe, and no doubt are friendly with the guys who run it, who have been on the Madrid nightlife scene for longer than they’d care to remember.
