Step Madrid
Step, Costanilla de Capuchinos, Madrid, Spain
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.

Take advantage of a labyrinth, cabins, and adult videos playing on large screens. Strong is always busy but it's particularly packed for parties every Saturday night.
