El 12 Club is a relatively new bear club in Chueca. It hosts some brilliant live music covering a range of genres from house and pop to techno and funk.

La Kama's sister bar is a lively disco bar that attracts a mixed crowd of all ages. It's a popular place to start a night out, especially at weekends. Expect a wide range of cocktails including classic mojitos and enormous sharing margaritas that are a speciality here. All your drinks are served by hot and friendly staff.

With a not-so-subtle name, Naked is a dedicated gay leather and fetish bar popular with older men. There's a dress code every night and it rarely mentions clothes, but there are occasional themed nights such as swimwear or sportswear. Two floors of cruising promise an unforgettable experience, with facilities such as darkroom, beds, slings, and large film screens. Entrance even includes two drinks.

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.

Relatively new to the gay scene in the lively Chueca neighbourhood, Barbanarama is already popular thanks to cheap but quality cocktails and friendly atmosphere. The latest hits play loudly throughout the night to entertain a diverse mix of people. Everyone is welcome but the bar is especially popular with bearded local guys, giving you a true taste of Madrid's nightlife and its lively clientele.

This new bar on the scene in the Chueca gay neighbourhood seeks to be a unique alternative to the other older bars and clubs in the area. Labels don't exist here. Everyone is welcome to visit for a quality drink and a fresh new atmosphere that's brought to life by amazing music. THICK is busiest at weekends when it fills with a perfectly mixed and energetic crowd.
