Apollo gave the best service. Very attentive and catering to our needs. One of the best bars in Madrid with gas music

We were put onto the bar by some lady on the street but for 10 euros we got a shot, a drink and beer. Katrina was the most fun and beautiful bartender, very accommodating and helpful. Good vibes, good reggaeton!

I recently visited bar with friends, hoping to enjoy a fun evening of drinks and dancing. Unfortunately, what started as a promising night quickly turned into a frustrating experience that I feel compelled to share. Upon entering, we paid a 10-euro cover charge, which included a complimentary shot. We were having a great time dancing near the bar when a group of friendly girls approached us. They struck up a conversation and seemed genuinely nice, so when they asked if I wanted a shot that was already poured and on the bar, I thought it was just for me. They then asked my friends if they wanted a free shot, and they all agreed. I ended up paying for my shot, thinking it was a small price for a fun night. Things took a turn when the same girls later asked if I wanted a glass of champagne. I said yes, and again, I paid for it, thinking it was all part of the fun. However, after leaving, I checked my bank statement and was shocked to find that I had been charged 40 euros for the shots, an additional 60 euros for nothing, and a staggering 120 euros for the glass of champagne! I immediately reached out to the bar via email, hoping for a refund, but I am yet to receive a response. This experience has left me feeling scammed and frustrated. I urge anyone considering a visit to this bar to think twice. It’s clear that this place preys on tourists, and I wouldn’t want anyone else to go through what I did. If the bar do refund me, I will be happy to change my review to positive, but until then BEWARE, DO NOT GO THERE!!! Update: it took some time, but eventually they were helpful and gave me some of the money back. Cheers

We were in Madrid for a weekend and wanted to "chilled party". This was a nice place. Good music (not great) and decent amount of people. We had some problems with the offers they made to our group at the door and had to go ask several times for what they promised but after all they delivered

Pone Que es un bar de rock pero solo había reggaeton. Además, te hacen pagar por entrar 12€ por persona por una consumición. La consumición (Larios 12 con tónica), no sabía a nada, parecía agua El ambiente bien, pero no es lo que se anuncia.

En este lugar realizan estafas con tarjeta de crédito, tengan cuidado a mi esposo el día 28 de noviembre del 2025 le sacaron mas de €8000 cobrados a su tarjeta. Así que si te descuidas te roban el móvil y sus empleados te harán esos cargos. Ya denunciamos con la policía. El propietario dice que no es real mi review estaré adjuntando detalle de los cargos para que los usuarios puedan verlo. Acá les dejo las fotos qué les debía! En este lugar mas allá se un mal servicio es un lugar peligroso. — This place is a credit card scam. Be careful! On November 28, 2025, my husband had over €8,000 charged to his card. So, if you're not careful, they'll steal your phone and their employees will make those charges. We've already filed a police report. The owner says my review isn't real; I'll be attaching a detailed breakdown of the charges so users can see for themselves. Here are the photos I promised! This place is not only bad service, but also dangerous.

NO VAYÁIS EXPERIENCIA HORRIBLE No recomiendo este sitio, son unos estafadores y se aprovechan de los que no son sus clientes habituales. Nos querían cobrar una entrada por 30€ con dos consumiciones, al decir que nos parecía muy caro para ser un pub de un rato y que nos íbamos, salió el “jefe” para decirnos que nos dejaban entrar sin entrada. Pero una vez dentro, nos cobraron por cada copa 25€ y por las cervezas igual, un precio desmesurado apropósito. Cuando si hubiésemos entrado con la entrada salían aún así a 15€ cada copa… Lo peor es que al quejarnos de su estafa se rieron en nuestra cara… Unos sinvergüenzas. El ambiente es horrible, lleno de gente con mala pinta (por lo que se lee en otras reseñas gente muy turbia). Además de esto, tened en cuenta que NO PONEN ROCK a pesar de que así lo pareciese. La única música que suena continuamente es la de los países de donde son tanto ellos como toda su clientela… En fin, experiencia no recomendada. *Contestando al propio pub: No, no me estoy equivocando de sitio ni me estoy inventando nada desgraciadamente. Hay bastantes más reseñas en este mismo sitio que demuestran que todo lo que digo lo han tenido que sufrir otros también… Y por lo visto hasta cosas peores. Aún así, espero que cambiéis la perspectiva del local y que os vaya bien. Un saludo.

El bar es pequeño, la fiesta está bien, pero son deshonestos con los precios. En la entrada me dijeron que eran 30 € con consumición incluida, pero cuando fui a pagar me cobraron una bebida de 15 € por 30 €. En otra ocasión pedí una cerveza y me dijeron que eran 6 €, pero cuando fui a pagar me querían cobrar 9 €. Cuando me negué, me la cobraron por 6 €. No lo recomiendo.

En este bar hay una estafa organizada entre el personal y mujeres que se acercan a los clientes. Después de ganarse tu confianza, te invitan a beber y te ponen algo en la bebida. Luego te roban todo: dinero (me quitaron varios cientos de euros), teléfono y dispositivos electrónicos. Cuando intenté reclamar, fui agredido físicamente por el personal del bar. Tengo suficientes pruebas y testigos. Si el dueño no toma medidas inmediatas, el caso será denunciado a la policía.

Lugar donde pagas 10 euros por un chupito que solo pueden ser 4 cosas y un cubata aguao. Tiene muy buenas reseñas pq te regalan un chupito si la escribes. Después, cuando cierran, te dicen que tienes entrada gratis al local espirit. Luego cuando llegas te quieren cobrar. Una trampa para turistas.

This place is out to scam you. The drinks were already overpriced but they then tried to charge my account €450. Fortunately my card alerted me and denied it and I immediately left.

Be careful. I advise against going here. There are so many other places nearby. El Pirata is dangerous. I was robbed here (felt my wallet being pulled from my pocket). After turning to question the people behind me, i was punched repeatedly in the face, knocked to the ground and beaten while down. The bar security kicked me out as though I was in the wrong and not the victim. The management offered no assistance to me despite having been assaulted in their venue. I emailed the bar the following day to lodge a complaint but received no response. Besides this, I can also confirm that the many people in the reviews mentioning women seemingly in commission to try to convince guys to buy very expensive drinks for them is true. The pattern of behaviour and types of dribks is exactly as other reviewers have mentioned. (Edit to remove speculation and replace with underlying concern:) This experience gives me serious concerns about the general safety standards, procedures and oversight in this venue. I’d hate for anyone else to go through the night i had here. I would suggest to save yourself some grief and go somewhere else. Edit: the response from the owner further shows their lack of regard or care for safety or justice of their patrons. And to be clear, I am not accusing the bar of involvement, but rather saying given the experience and the way the incident was dealt with, I’m concerned about what measures are in place to prevent theft and protect patrons. There are other reviewers stating they were robbed. I would welcome and invite the owner to respond to my email as a responsible venue seeking resolution and safety, as promptly as they have attempted to defend their optics by attacking my character. Edit 2: the owner changed their response, modifying their narrative. I entirely reject their accusations and maintain that the account I have given is true.

SCAM! The minute you don’t notice they will charge you 500 euros

Brent Douglas

Don't go here. I had my wallet and phone stolen here and all my credit cards run up with fraudulent charges. The door guy claimed to me that I wasn't there that night so clearly the scam is run by the house. Stay away.

SCAM!! The bartenders work with the girls and they will try to charger more money than what they drink is worth. They wait until you are drunk then they charge your card 400$-500$ dollars in drinks the entire staff is involved in the scam and you can read the Google reviews of several people that this has happen to. Please ask for receipts from the bartenders.

Juan patron

Becarefull here ! The girls at the club are working, they will find a ways to scam of you out of money. They charged 30€ for champagne because the girls make a percentage. The workers would do everything to find ways to scam you. If you are tourist becarefull.

Karim Nasser

This place is sketchy and overcharged my card for things I never ordered. Bartender kept saying transaction was denied, and over charged me. All employees in the pub know about this and pray on tourists. Girls inside work for the place and will try to get you to buy them the most expensive drinks. Beware of those girls. This place is a tourist scam.

Volkan

Avoid this place at all costs. The club is filled with women working on commission who constantly pressure you to buy them drinks, which are always champagne (30 euros), and they frequently ask for bongs (60 euros). Responding to their reply: If you’re not benefiting from this, then take action against those who are engaging in these practices. Why is the price tripled when these women place the order? This is outrageous. I hope you’re held legally accountable for this soon.

Modagiri Bro

A lady dragged us in there offering a coupon of a cocktail and a shot for 10 euros. Bad deal. The drinks are watered out. The pretty girls are hired by the establishment. There's mostly just lost (male) tourists in this awful, sad, third rate establishment.

Daniel RH

NEVER GO HERE: 12/15 euros entrance por a super tiny place. Fake drinks (white label). Poor service (very arrogant). Also it is full of “girls” on commission with the club: they are constantly thirsty and ask you to buy them a drink that turns out that is always champagne (30euros) and also they ask all the time for bong (60euros). The treatment of the waiter in the photo of the google is also sexist and rude. Disgusting "club" in Madrid.
