Medaigual
Medaigual, Calle de San Bartolome, Madrid, Spain
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.

El 12 CLUB
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. There is also a line-up of talented house DJs who bring the club to life every night. El 12 features two distinct spaces, El Bar and El Puticlub, where you start your night or dance till morning.
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.
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.
Shower & Bar
This popular cruise bar in Chueca has a host of modern facilities for you to enjoy. Have a couple of drinks at the bar before exploring two floors of fun full of guys. Dark cruisey spaces, steamy wet room, and private cabins are just some of the things on offer here. There are also peep holes, a maze and of course the popular showers.
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.
