Black & White

Bar Black and White is a Chueca classic, serving Madrid’s gay scene since the early 1980s. If Chueca is the city’s queer heart, this place is one of its oldest, loudest beats.

The décor is simple—neon lights, a big bar, and a stage that’s seen more drag acts than most theatres. Nights here are anything but quiet. Expect high-energy shows, outrageous performances, and a crowd that’s up for a party seven nights a week.

The clientele is mixed: locals who’ve been coming for decades, tourists looking for a legendary night out, and performers who turn lip-sync into an extreme sport. Drinks are reasonably priced, service is fast, and the atmosphere is pure Madrid—warm, lively, and just a bit cheeky.

Black and White isn’t trendy; it doesn’t need to be. It’s a place where tradition meets glitter, and the party never seems to stop.

Strong Club

Strong Club is Madrid’s heavyweight in the leather and fetish scene. Located in Chueca, it’s a late-night institution where things really start moving long after midnight.

Inside, the atmosphere is industrial and moody—steel, shadows, and a sound system that doesn’t believe in subtlety. The crowd is a mix of leather men, fetish fans, and curious newcomers testing the waters. Theme nights range from gear parties to full-on fetish events, often with strict dress codes.

The club’s layout blends a big dance floor with more private spaces, making it a choose-your-own-adventure kind of night. DJs keep the beats pumping until sunrise, and the energy rarely dips.

Strong isn’t for everyone, but for those who like their nightlife intense and their weekends long, it’s a Madrid essential. Bring an open mind, and maybe a harness.

Gay saunas

Madrid can be very hot in summer, and the guys are even hotter. In these places you can steam of:

Outdoor gay beaches and parks

Lago

In summers, it's often very hot in Madrid. On such a hot summers day, t's really nice to hang around the Lago, a swimming pool outside the city (get out a the metro station with the same name). This is the place the locals get a refreshing swim.

There are usually lots of gay guys at the top swimming pool. In hot weekends Lago is usually very popular; sometimes you have to wait in the queue for almost an hour! Go left (stairs up) after you entered the area. Stairs up to the very top. After you have reached the top you have to go straight ahead to the other side of the pool. There is the place where all the gays and friends are.
