Paseo Bajo de la Virgen del Puerto, s/n · Arganzuela

La Riviera, nightclub in Arganzuela

1,500 m² and a 2,500 capacity by the Manzanares river, in a venue running since the 1950s — first a cinema, then a ballroom and from the 60s one of Spain's key live-music hubs. It chains rock, indie and electronic gigs with parties that run until dawn. The biggest room on this list.

Why it ranks #2: Capacity and heritage: 70 years of Madrid nightlife and top-tier programming.
