About
In 2015 we were born with the idea of being a place where everyone is welcome, with a heterogeneous concept where diversity and fun are combined.
We throw as much as we can from pop culture and the viral and we take advantage of any opportunity and date indicated to throw a theme party.
And also we do not forget that we are a meeting point and a platform to channel initiatives in general that support social projects, focused above all on our LGBTIQ+ collective.
In short, our main objective is to be one of your safe places.

We had fun in general, but We ordered the same drinks three times and have been charged differently every time. 12€, 14€ and 15€. Unfortunately, I’ve only noticed it later. Sound quality could be better.Update after reply (hello! Since the pandemic, we almost never touch the card and give the terminal to the customer, so it is very easy to check the amount, especially because we are people and we can get confused at a certain moment. That said, I'm surprised that we made a mistake 3 times with the same customer, and by the way, the drinks are, at least, €8. Draw your own conclusions...😉):Thank you for putting it on me. I made my own conclusions indeed that have been confirmed now. I don’t want to go to a place where I have to check the charge everytime. Drinks did not start from 8€ when we were there. Beer was like 4€.Jan Andersen

Queued for 1 hour and it was not worth the wait. Be prepared for a sticky floor and corridor-looking space.Илья Пикула

This place is a must for Ru Paul's Drag Race lovers 🙂 A small bar where LGBT+ people are gathering to drink and watch the show, very nice!ali rez

If you're a lesbain or an identifying woman; please don't come here unless you're just overly comfortable with nothing but gay men from wall to wall. Outside of my significant, I and one other woman we were the only ones in there on Saturday. I absolutely love my community. However, you can tell exactly who they serve. I can't say it's because of my race or nationality that prevented them from serving me. I stood by the bar patiently for about 20 minutes. I witness the bartenders take shots with customers, serve people who just walked up and blatantly ignore me. On top of that, the bar was just overly crowded with men. It advertises itself as a LGBT+ bar and it's not. It's a straight up gay male bar and there isn't anything wrong with that but do better on being clear cut outside of stating LGBT and drag shows(which we didnt even see on Drag Queen) and treating your guest a bit better.Andy Lax

This is the perfect neighborhood bar! The staff is friendly, the drinks are cheap & generous, and the crowd is cute and unpretentious. They play Drag Race from around the world, and there's no cover to get in giving you a great excuse to get out of the house and into Chueca.Fabio Fabiano

I really enjoyed visiting this bar!!! Its q super friendly bar and I spoke pretty limited Spanish but the bartender was able to follow along and managed to order a few round of drinks. Stick to ordering beers or very simple mixed drinks (rum and cokes, vodka/ fanta, long islands). Pours are very generous. I was there on a thursday which was super chill. There were plenty of posters of rupauls drag race girls and frequently played many lipsyncs from the show. The bar also played a large variety of spanish and US 90s/2000s pop music.Bastiaan Korneliusson

My new favourite gay bar in Madrid, even though we had to wait, the door guy was a delight and made the waiting fun. Drinks were good and so was the atmosphere. The place is small but the atmosphere very nice and communicative, everyone has fun. Crazy 80s Spanish music videos add to the fun factor. But the cool crowd makes it complete (for dutchies think Amsterdam's "Montmartre" in the 90s)
