This is the major gay bar of Madrid, in the center of the Chueca district. A guard will open the door to a large room -- painted, as you might expect, black and white. There's a disco in the basement, but the street-level bar is the premier gathering spot, featuring drag shows beginning at 3am Thursday to Sunday, male striptease, and videos. Old movies are shown against one wall. Open Monday to Friday from 8pm to 5am; Saturday and Sunday from 8pm to 6am. Beer is 4€ ($5); whiskey costs 6€ ($7.50).
