Madrid party spots?

[foidulus]

My friend and I are taking a trip to Madrid and we like to go out and drink/dance, however in our past trips we haven't had much success at finding any good spots. Anyone here live/been to Madrid and know of anything good?

Check out the bars near Plaza de Santa Ana. Last time I was there I sat on one of the outside tables until 1 am or so, and then just went bar-hoping. There are guys giving out "free entrance" to places all over the place, just pick a couple and check them out.

Also, I ended up on a very nice place eating "Pimiento Morron" that was right behind Plaza del Sol.... but I can't remember the name of the place, nor how to get there, unfortunately. (to tell you the truth, I can't remember most of that night )

Register on www.couchsurfing.com and ask there. It'll come handy to know people beforehand to show you around.

Never been to Madrid before, but do travel a fair bit around european cities and so far the reviews on Qype haven't let me down for finding good places to go out.
