Zarpa is mostly popular with bears and their admirers, especially slightly older guys looking to enjoy a few drinks before moving on to Chueca's clubs.

Music videos play around the bar, keeping the atmosphere alive and drawing in the crowds of masculine guys.

Step Madrid (formerly known as The Paso) is an institution on the Chueca gay scene, having been catering to the bear community for years. It's busy all week but particularly at weekends, when a fun and friendly crowd flocks to the bar and music videos are playing on large screens. There's no attitude here so everyone can feel comfortable, including in the small dark room in the back of the bar.

As the name suggests, this is one of the most popular meeting places for Madrid's bear community and their admirers. Expect a variety of masculine guys and large crowds packed into a relatively small space. There's no better way to find what you're looking for in Chueca, and there's 2 for 1 drinks offers every night until midnight to get you started.
