YOU&ME
YOU&ME is a modern dance club and music bar that's only been around in Chueca for a couple of years but is already popular with a generally younger crowd. Whether you're looking for a fun and casual night out to meet new people, or you want to hire somewhere for an extravagant private function, this is the place for you. It's a brilliantly designed space in the heart of the gay scene.
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.
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.
Disco Rick's
RICK'S is a popular pre-clubbing bar with a Moroccan vibe inspired by the film Casablanca. The walls are filled with quirky themed decoration, the elsewhere in the bar you'll find pool and foosball tables. A mixed aged crowd generally descends on the bar in the early hours for drinks and dancing with a soundtrack of chart-topping music.
D'Mystic
D'Mystic is a cafe and cocktail lounge with a stylish and modern feel. It welcomes a mixed clientele who visit for delicious drinks in a laid-back space that lends itself to a good catch up with friends. Alternatively, meet new people and bond over a strong cocktail, stay out late, and experience the best of Madrid on the lively Calle de Gravina.
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.
