Suite is a 1970s retro-style bar that’s a great spot for pre-club drinkers in Madrid, and, thanks to its central location just off the Gran Via, a popular meeting-place for young, trendy Madrilenos. If you get to Suite first, grab one of the cream-coloured leather armchairs or sofas by the front window; otherwise, there are plenty of tables and chairs gracing this large space.rn

The mixed but mainly hetero in-crowd shout above the house/trance/funk music that gets louder and harder as the night goes on. If you want to chat properly, there’s a pretty garden terrace out back lit by fairy-lights.rn

At lunchtimes and earlier in the evening, these tables are reserved for those who are eating in Suite’s restaurant, but later on you can just grab a drink here. If you want to dance, there’s a smaller bar and dance-floor upstairs, complete with disco mirror balls.
