Sobre este lugar Chueca — Distrito Gay de Madrid

Chueca es el barrio gay central de Madrid, aproximadamente 15 manzanas del distrito de Justicia delimitado por Gran Vía, Fuencarral, Calle Barquillo y Calle Hortaleza. La transformación comenzó en 1983, cuando un puñado de negocios amigables con la comunidad gay abrieron tras la caída de la Ley de Peligrosidad Social de Franco en 1979; para 1990, el barrio albergaba la mayor concentración de bares, cafés y tiendas queer de Madrid. Hoy es uno de los distritos comerciales gay más densos de Europa y el ancla de Madrid Orgullo (MADO), el evento de Orgullo más grande de Europa por asistencia (típicamente 2 millones+ durante cuatro días a principios de julio). La Plaza de Chueca es la plaza central del barrio. Fue peatonalizada en 1997 como parte del reconocimiento del Ayuntamiento de Madrid de Chueca como distrito LGBTQ+, uno de los primeros reconocimientos municipales formales de este tipo en Europa. Los tres bares con terraza centrales de la plaza (Café Acuarela, Ángel Sierra y, desde 1984, El Truco) han sido el ancla de la vida de cafés del barrio durante décadas. MADO — Madrid Orgullo — se celebra la primera semana de julio y concluye con el desfile del sábado que comienza en la Puerta de Alcalá y termina en la Plaza de España, pasando por el borde oriental de Chueca. La asistencia al desfile supera regularmente el millón de personas; el programa circundante de seis días se apodera de todo el barrio con escenarios, fiestas de baile y eventos culturales. Gratis, abierto 24/7 como calles públicas. El metro de Chueca está en el borde norte de la plaza. En cualquier día de turismo gay en Madrid, este es el ancla; combínalo con el vecino distrito de Malasaña (patrimonio de la Movida) a 10 minutos al oeste o con el Museo del Romanticismo (que programa una exposición rotatoria de historia queer) a cinco minutos al norte.

Really bad experience, avoid it, bartender doesn't know basic english, and some people do not understand the WORD NO i had to be agressive to defend my honor. Very expensive as well. They are shameless.

A bar with four tiny rooms full of old people wasting time and smoking everywhere, and the price is arbitrary; depending on who you are, they charge you one thing or another.

It's a centrally located club, very reasonably priced, and stays open well into the morning (perfect for those who don't know where to go after a night out at bars and clubs). The staff is fantastic; they treat everyone with kindness and respect. The facilities are practically like a sauna, but with some differences. You can be in your underwear, naked, or just in a towel; you can wear sneakers, or they'll give you flip-flops if you prefer. The clientele is diverse, of all ages and backgrounds, very lively, and has a certain allure and a touch of naughtiness. I give it a 10; the best place to end a wild night in Chueca (it's right in the heart of the Chueca scene). One suggestion: they should install a non-slip floor because it gets very slippery when it's damp, and people fall very easily. Thanks!

It's a very clean sauna bar with a great atmosphere. It can't be categorized as a sauna bar for young people, nor exclusively for older people; at any time of day, it's a fun mix. The music is good, and the service from the bartender, Jose, is excellent. He's always attentive to the customers' needs and is a delight. When I go and meet up with my friends and acquaintances, we have a great time laughing together while enjoying a drink. Without a doubt, it's the best sauna in the area and surrounding neighborhood.

Lots of action, a great place to spend a few nights hanging out with other guys. Clean facilities, with showers, a bar, excellent staff, all in all a very cool, pure gay place in Chueca.

A horrible, dirty place. It was still closed at 11:00 and 11:30, apparently to avoid [the problem].

A wonderful place to have a good time. If you're expecting a super-cool sauna and super-modern facilities, forget it. It's not your typical sauna like the ones you'll find in Madrid. The atmosphere is very ordinary and natural, with busy times and quieter times, but it's very pleasant there. Highly recommended!
