Popular Bars in Madrid
Why Not?
Hidden away below street level, Why Not is a popular destination for people looking for a few drinks before a night out. An atmospheric interior complete with wood panelled walls houses a bar serving quality cocktails, and the space is generally packed with a mixed crowd. Unique and striking decor make this a memorable and popular bar, and the music is a mix of Spanish and international songs from pop to disco.
Sixta
Located in the popular La Latina neighbourhood, Sixta Bar attracts a truly mixed crowd. It's a favourite hangout spot for both gay guys and lesbians, people of all ages, and a completely attitude-free crowd. The bar combines a unique decor with a casual atmosphere and a soundtrack of the greatest hits. Drinks are reasonably priced as well, fuelling plenty of dancing and a brilliant night out.
Truco
Truco is a super popular lesbian bar in the heart of Chueca, the ideal location to start a late-night lesbian bar crawl. The bar itself is open only to women, creating a safe and always friendly environment, while out on the terrace a mixed but equally friendly crowd gathers. Drinks are reasonable and the music caters to lovers of reggaeton to dance. The bar is loud and lively, with fun-loving crowds packed into a relatively small space.
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.
Medaigual
Cosier than some other gay pubs in the area, Medaigual attracts a slightly older crowd for a more traditional night out. Guys tend to meet here for a relaxed drink and a catch up, but there's also regular live music and karaoke that give the bar a brilliant energy. Medaigual also hosts regular themed nights that attracts loyal locals and visitors looking to make new friends.
HOT Bears Bar
HOT has a strong legacy as one of the first bears bars in Spain. It remains super popular and a place for Madrid's bear community to come together over a drink and continue their night together in the large and cruisey dark room. DJs provide the entertainment each night, and alongside great service and a fun crowd, they keep the bar at the top of the list for local bears.
