Behind the clandestine doors, three clubs to enjoy the night

There are places that wait to be discovered behind the doors of old premises, once inside a different and enigmatic world is revealed to us; secluded tables, dim lights, dark corners where you can go unnoticed and a central bar where exquisite cocktails created by the most ingenious bartenders are served. Clubs that take us back to the golden age of the 1920s but now, renovated, include restaurants and dance floors with a built-in DJ.

Bars and restaurants for those who truly long to get lost and escape the daily monotony in a unique and exclusive atmosphere. Discretion is important, and Barcelona, ​​Madrid and Malaga have some of the best clubs in which to spend the most sublime nights.

The most exclusive club in Madrid where the Madrid elite has gathered since 1996, reopens its doors in a new location, on Calle María de Molina, 39, with Príncipe de Vergara. The party room is renovated without losing its essence, with red lights, lots of shine and escalators to offer nights full of energy and fun, watered down with champagne and cocktails, from Thursday to Saturday from 12 midnight until dawn. Parties, shows, music... luxury and sophistication merge to live unforgettable experiences, starting with Jimmy's Restaurant, Cocktails

A hidden place in the heart of Malaga, on Calle García Briz, 3, with a decoration that reminds us of the old pharmacy that was in the past, it has a wooden bar where the drinks are grouped according to the state of health, wallpapered walls, fringed lampshades and elegant waiters in jackets, a return to the times when swing and tobacco reigned in the best dance halls. The jazz music in the background creates a cozy atmosphere that invites you to linger and try the wide variety of cocktails created by Elías Bentolila. The list of his classics with his personal touches are surprising and will not leave anyone indifferent.

The club is located in the basement of the historic Casa Rafols building, an old hardware store from 1911, on Ronda de Sant Pere, 74, and is one of the best kept secrets in Barcelona. Passing through the red velvet curtains means entering a magical space, a stylish place where you will find a piano, red armchairs, modernist lamps and a long bar behind the mirror door, a door that leads to the clandestine club where you can only go with prior reservation. You can eat at Casa Rafols or at the club itself, and then it becomes a cocktail bar where you can try true works of liquid art.
