Madrid Halloween Pubcrawl – Open Bar, Shots & VIP Club Entry

Madrid’s nightlife starts late, and this Halloween pubcrawl gets you into the action at 10pm, not at the hour when many visitors are still eating dinner. You move through several central bars, collect a welcome shot at each stop, play drinking games, and finish at a club with VIP entry. I like the simple price, about $24.03, and the chance to meet Erasmus students, locals, and people from other countries without having to plan the night yourself.

I also like the practical value of the first 45-minute open beer period and the changing final club schedule. The guides named by guests include Ricardo, Hamza, and Luis, who are described as helpful and fun. The drawback is that drinks after the included beer and shots are not free, and the exact club can change by day. Expect a social party night, not a quiet look at Madrid.

Key points before you book

• Four-part nightlife route: Begin at Mulberrys or, from Thursday through Sunday, possibly Commo bar, then continue to Enbabia, Hood Dogs, and a late club.
• 45 minutes of open beer: The first venue includes beer from 10pm until about 10:45pm.
• A shot at every venue: Each stop includes a welcome shot, subject to the venue arrangements.
• VIP entry at the final club: The last stop changes by night, with clubs such as Shoko, Icon, Barceló, Samsara, or Teresa on the schedule.
• Local hosts and a mixed crowd: Guides lead the group, organize games, and help connect you with international students, locals, and other people out for the night.
• Arrive early and use WhatsApp: The meeting instructions ask you to arrive around 9:45pm and contact the organizers by WhatsApp after booking.

Madrid after 10pm: what this pubcrawl is really for

This experience is built around connection and momentum. You are not simply handed a list of bars and left to find your own way. A host gathers the group, moves it from stop to stop, and gives you an easy way to meet people during a part of Madrid’s day that can otherwise feel hard to enter.

The social angle is the main reason to book. You may find Erasmus students, local students, international visitors, and friends on holiday all mixing in the same group. That makes this a good first-night activity if you want company, especially if you are exploring Madrid on your own or with only one companion.

The format is also useful for anyone who does not know the city’s nightlife districts. You do not have to choose a bar, compare cover charges, or guess which club is busy. The hosts handle the route, and your job is to arrive on time, keep up, and enjoy the evening.

Still, this is a party crawl. You should expect noise, alcohol, late hours, and a quick change of venue. If you prefer slow conversation, live music, or a carefully planned food and wine evening, this is probably not the right match.

Meeting at Mulberrys or Commo bar at 10pm

The published meeting point is Mulberrys Madrid, also described as Mulberry’s Shisha Madrid, at 10pm. The address provided is C. de Espoz y Mina, 22, in Madrid’s Centro district. The instructions ask you to be at the meeting point around 9:45pm, giving yourself time to find the bar and locate the group.

From Monday through Sunday, the first stop includes 45 minutes of open beer, ending around 10:45pm. That is the clearest value feature of the package. It gives you a drink soon after arrival and helps the group begin talking before the night gets more crowded.

There is an extra wrinkle from Thursday through Sunday. The information also says the evening starts at Commo bar, where you receive one beer. Because both Mulberrys and Commo appear in the instructions, you should confirm the exact meeting bar through WhatsApp before you leave your accommodation. This small check could save you from beginning the night at the wrong address.

Arriving early matters here. Pubcrawls work on group timing, and a 10-minute delay can mean missing the introduction or the first drink. Save the address, keep your phone charged, and contact the organizers when you have your booking details.

Enbabia: the first change of scene

After the opening period, the group heads to Enbabia Bar. The stay is listed at about 50 minutes, with entry and a shot included. This is where the evening moves from a simple meeting drink into a proper bar-to-bar route.

I like the fact that the stops are long enough to give you time to speak with people, but short enough to keep the night moving. You are not expected to spend hours deciding when to leave. The hosts set the pace, and the group continues together.

The timing instructions place this stage around 11:20pm to midnight, though the exact movement can depend on how quickly the group forms. You should follow the hosts rather than setting your own schedule. The organizers also invite participants to join a WhatsApp group, which can help with directions and updates during the evening.

One point to budget for: the included shot does not mean every drink is included. Alcohol after the opening beer and the supplied shots must be purchased. Discounted drink deals are available at the door, and the guide is meant to explain them when you arrive.

Hood Dogs by Planet Club adds games and a free shot

The third stop is Hood Dogs by Planet Club, where the group stays for about an hour. Everyone receives a free shot, and the venue offers drinking games and party dares designed to break the ice.

This part will suit you if you enjoy structured social activities. Games can make it easier to speak with people you have just met, especially in a large international group where a quiet introduction might otherwise get lost in the noise.

The venue also has discounted drinks at the door. Ask the guide about the deal before ordering, since the package does not cover extra alcoholic drinks. Keeping some flexibility in your budget is sensible, even though the starting price is low.

The dares and games are not for everyone. You can join in at your own comfort level, but the tone is clearly playful and outgoing. If you dislike being singled out or would rather sit and talk, you may prefer the bar stops to the game portion.

The final club changes with the day

The night ends at a different club depending on the day of the week. The schedule provided is:

• Monday: Barceló or Shoko
• Tuesday: Samsara
• Wednesday: Barceló
• Thursday: Icon
• Friday: Shoko
• Saturday: Shoko
• Sunday: Teresa

The final club is scheduled to continue until 6am. You do not have to stay that late, but the long closing time gives you room to leave when you are ready rather than being pushed out soon after arrival.

VIP club entry is included, which is one of the stronger reasons to consider the package. In practical terms, you are not paying the pubcrawl price and then facing a separate club cover at the end. The group enters together, and the hosts guide you through the arrival.

Do not treat the club name as fixed for every booking. The schedule changes by day, and the information itself lists two possibilities for Monday. Confirm the final destination if that matters to you, especially if you want a particular music style or venue.

The club is also where your extra spending can rise. Drinks are not included, though discounted deals may be offered at the door. If you have already had enough alcohol, you can still enjoy the music and group atmosphere without ordering another drink.

What the $24.03 price includes

At about $24.03 per person, the price is low for an organized night that includes several venues, a 45-minute open beer period, shots, hosts, and final-club entry. The value is strongest if you would otherwise pay separate cover charges or spend time working out where to go.

The price also buys convenience. You get a route, a group, and local nightlife hosts. That may matter more than the drinks themselves if you are unfamiliar with Madrid or want a social first evening.

You should read the inclusions carefully. Extra alcoholic drinks are not covered, and discounted drinks are simply a way to reduce the cost, not a free-bar arrangement. The free beer is limited to the first 45 minutes, while the shots are supplied at the venues listed.

I would compare this price with the cost of a club cover, a few drinks, and taxis or public transport if you planned the night alone. Your final spending will depend on how much you buy after the included drinks. The package is a good deal for a social route and club entry, but less useful if you do not drink or do not intend to stay out late.

Meeting people without overplanning the night

The strongest part of this experience is its social design. At each bar, the group stays together long enough for introductions, then moves on before conversations become too fixed. Drinking games and dares give people an easy opening line, even if they arrive alone.

The named hosts, Ricardo, Hamza, and Luis, are specifically associated with helpful and fun nights. Your guide on the date you attend may vary, so use the WhatsApp contact to find the group and get current instructions.

The international mix is another plus. Erasmus students and local students bring a different feel from a standard club line, while people from other countries add an easy reason to start talking. You may leave with new contacts for the rest of your time in Madrid.

Keep an eye on your belongings. One guest specifically offered a warning about pickpockets. That is sensible advice for any crowded bar or club: carry only what you need, keep your phone and wallet secure, and do not leave a bag unattended.

Timing, transport, and personal comfort

The experience lasts about four to six hours, but the final club can continue until 6am. The stated duration likely depends on the pace of the group and how long you remain at the last venue.

The meeting point is near public transportation, which helps at the beginning of the night. The supplied information does not specify the exact transport plan between venues, so follow the group and ask the guide if you become separated.

Wear something comfortable for standing, walking, and dancing. Halloween clothing may suit the theme, but no costume requirement is stated. You should also plan your return before the night starts, since the last club may remain open well after normal public transport hours.

Most people can take part, and a mobile ticket is accepted. The experience is offered in English. Confirmation is issued at booking, and cancellation is free if you cancel at least 24 hours before the start time. Changes or cancellations inside that window are not accepted for a refund.

Who will enjoy this Madrid night out

I would choose this pubcrawl if you want to meet people quickly, enjoy several lively bars, and finish at a club without arranging the route yourself. It is especially practical for a solo visitor, a small group of friends, or anyone arriving in Madrid and wanting an easy social start.

It also suits people who like a late schedule. The first meeting is at 10pm, the club comes later, and the night may run into the early morning. You need to be comfortable with that rhythm.

I would skip it if you want quiet drinks, a food-led evening, or a fixed club destination. The venue changes by day, the meeting details can vary between Mulberrys and Commo, and extra drinks cost more. The group format also means you have less control over how long you spend in each place.

Should you book the Madrid Halloween pubcrawl?

Book it if your priority is a social, low-cost night with open beer, several shots, drinking games, and VIP club entry. The $24.03 price gives you a clear route and useful extras, while guides such as Ricardo, Hamza, and Luis help make the group easier to join.

Before booking, confirm the starting bar, check the club schedule for your night, and contact the organizers through WhatsApp. Bring a little extra money for discounted drinks, arrive by 9:45pm, and protect your belongings. If you want a flexible, people-focused night rather than a polished cultural activity, this is a sensible Madrid choice.
