via Stay22About this place Bambalinas
Bambalinas, on Calle Pelayo in central Madrid, is a gay bar. It's got an intimate feel, and the owners, José Luis and Frieder, make sure everyone feels welcome.
They’re the kind of owners who make a regular night out feel more like a house party. By the end of the evening, you’ll probably be talking to strangers.
Madrid's gay scene has everything from pounding clubs to quieter spots. Bambalinas is the latter, a place to actually talk to people instead of just getting lost in a crowd. It's relaxed, friendly, and conversation just happens.
Locals and visitors alike get a real slice of Madrid's queer social life here. Solo travelers, couples, groups of friends—everyone seems to find their spot. Check their Facebook page for hours and special events.

I give it a 10 because the service is unbeatable. Ana is a sweetheart and does a great job.
Ana is a true professional. She uses high-quality products, and I'm always happy with the results. She's been my go-to place for years to keep my hair looking its best.
