Club Matador

"Occupying a historic apartment in the swanky Salamanca neighborhood, this members-only club is really Madrid's version of Soho House. Started by the creative team behind the Matador magazine, it offers all of the amenities you'd expect from a private club, including cultural events, live music, art exhibitions, a screening room, and a well curated cultural program with lectures and workshops. The restaurant menu focuses on traditional Spanish cuisine while the bar has an ambitious craft cocktail program, bringing in mixologists and guest bartenders from all over Europe. Take your cocktail into the cozy library, which is stocked with books and magazines from the noir genre. "

"An exclusive, members-style club housed in a remodeled 19th-century mansion with glamorous, bachelor-pad interiors, sherry-focused speakeasies, hidden sushi bars, and a polished dining program that included dishes like braised leek with breadcrumbs, Iberico pork tenderloin, and a Basque-style cheesecake—with a steady flow of Champagne at the table." - Paula Aceves, Margalit Cutler
