Club Review: La Boutique, Salamanca, Madrid, Spain

It's Curbappeal:
- cool decor (eg back lit wall of bar decorated with display of high heel shoes)
- small but not cramped

Crowd: late 20s, stylish Spanish but not pretentious

Music: mediocre; general mass market pop

Top tip: arrive about 3am to miss the queues that appear c3.30am - when everyone suddenly seems to turn up

Time of visit: Friday night/Saturday morning, April 2013

... Some photos straight from our iPhones...

Bar review: Hotel Urban, Madrid, Spain

We stayed at Hotel Urban a couple of years ago (loved it) & thought we'd hang out on their lovely roof terrace on this visit to Madrid... Unfortunately the roof terrace wasn't open yet (April) & it is only available to hotel guests. We popped into the bar downstairs for a drink - we loved this bar when we stayed at Urban....

Bar review: The Arcade, Riviera Palm Springs, Palm Springs, California

What’s the curbappeal?

- Love the unusual contemporary artwork

- Uplifting vibe… perfect for the young - or young at heart - party-crowd, but…

...the hotels website pictures make this bar, and the resort, look more high-end than it is…
