Technically its members only, but fear not as there’s no lengthy selection process; just jot down a few details and away you go.

Furniture shop by day, speakeasy by night; Kikekeller is place to be and to be seen. With urban decor, mismatched wallpaper and quirky artwork lining the walls, this hotspot is the embodiment of young, Malasaña cool.
