Popular Bars in Madrid
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.
Pub Gris
Calm and subtle lighting creates an atmosphere at Gris that's hard to describe. It's a small space that fills up at weekends, maintaining a slightly old fashioned but stylish vibe. The music is generally rock and punk, complete with the occasional live tribute band and consistently cheap drinks served at the bar. Gris is straight-friendly and becoming popular with a hipster crowd.
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.
Barbanarama
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.
Shower & Bar
