Madrid is host to an extensive array of ethnic restaurants, and many are absolutley delicious, yet the typical and profuse cervecerias or tabernas offer quintessencial fun. Many of the small cafés and bars seen along every street and around every plaza are not only a place to meet with friends for coffee or a drink, but also offer delicious local food. Enjoy a refreshment and some talk with friends, perhaps add in some small tapas for different tastes like jamon or tortilla, or even enjoy a full menú del dia with an apertiso, primero plato, segundo plato, postre y cupa de vino. The simplicity of such café service spota really does capture a vital part of Spanish life, is easy to tailor to your own wishes and affords the opportunity to use the Spanish language and to meet people.

VIPS! Good food (mostly american...), open late, cold air conditioning (very important if studying in the summer)

There are so many places to go in Madrid it is impossible to say, although the big clubs, whose names I cannont remember right now wre impressive.
