Boyberry Madrid
A favourite cruising spot in Madrid, Boyberry is the place to go for cheap drinks and a super friendly but hot atmosphere. It offers something different to classic dark cruising spaces, bringing a refreshingly modern twist to the scene. Boyberry offers the usual favourites such as peep holes, cabins, and darkroom but alongside these you can find an adult shop and full bar with friendly staff.
Step Madrid
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.
Black & White
Black & White has been a popular Chueca nightclub since the 80s, earning itself a reputation as the perfect place to meet new guys. It's something of an institution thanks to its friendly crowd and variety of events. You'll find a busy dance floor in the basement, while upstairs there's a stage that regularly hosts drag and adult shows. You can start your night earlier than at the other clubs and party with a younger crowd, especially at weekends.
