MADRID NIGHTLIFE was at this Launch Party
Sam Kay visited Serrano 41 “Open Air” nightclub on Friday [19 June] with a group of 5 girl friends, with high hopes of a great night - having been going out in Madrid, on a Saturday, quite a few times.
"The location is perfect because there’s Metro and bus home at any time of the night. However, I was disappointed from the very beginning...
Having arrived “early-ish” (12.25am) I wasn’t expecting to have to wait to be seated at a table that we had pre-booked. Knowing it was first-come-first-served I did not want to be placed somewhere terrible in the club!
On arrival we stood in a different line from the normal entry and it took us 40 minutes to enter the club, at one stage we were asked to go behind a group of girls who had just shown up, who seemed to be “flirting” their way in. Finding this very unprofessional I started to question what was happening and why was it taking so long. The entrance system was run by what can only be described as a bunch of little boys who didn't have much knowledge of how it all worked and no one seemed to be the boss.
Finally we entered and were stood – YES! STOOD! - by a table in the middle of the dance floor which was not even big enough for our bottles to fit on, and then once our bottle was finished we were asked to move on to make way for someone else. This is not the first time I have bought a bottle in a night club with a table but I've never been asked to move!
The plus sides are the DJ played a good mix of music all night and you can use their huge smoking area, as well as the drinks were like THE CHEAPEST IN MADRID* [only €50 for a bottle] but people who arrived after us and paid the same price were seated on better sofas.
"My only complaint really was that people who pay same price should all be treated the same, you know!?"
In conclusion, this is an ideal nightclub for a random cheap and cheerful night out; but wouldn’t recommend it for a big celebration or a nicer occasion.
I’m not writing-off this venue, I’m just suggesting they could be a bit more organised!
I will revisit this venue AGAIN in a few weeks to see if maybe it has changed at all as I do love this nightclub and the bottles there are the cheapest I've discovered in Madrid nightclubs so far...
