via Stay22About this place La Bohemia
La Bohemia is a lesbian bar right on Madrid's Plaza de Chueca, a good spot for a drink and to see what's happening.
The staff here are friendly, and you'll find a mix of people hanging out. It’s a lounge, but they also crank up the disco music later on if you want to dance. It’s the kind of place you can settle in for a relaxed drink or get a bit more lively.
Its best feature might be the terrace right on the plaza. You can sit outside, watch people go by, and just soak up Chueca, which is Madrid's historic LGBTQ+ neighborhood. There are other bars and restaurants all around, so it's easy to find something to do before or after you stop in.
To find out when they're open or if there's anything special happening, check their Facebook page. They're good about responding there.

I want to give a huge shout-out to Logan, who's new here. I've been to this bar several times and I'm always impressed by his excellent service—he's always attentive. What I can't say about the place is that the woman who was training him did so very poorly, constantly reprimanding him in a very disrespectful way in front of the other customers. It was really bad of her and leaves much to be desired! I hope to see Logan again when I return, and I'll only do so because of his service! If it were up to that woman, many of the customers wouldn't come back. The stars are for the young man.
Lovely spot to enjoy a beer on the terrace. Logan's service was excellent; we were there for two hours and the service was superb.
If someone at a table doesn't want to order anything, they tell you to leave! I've never seen anything like it, it's shameful. The woman at the bar was unpleasant.
I highly recommend Tinto de Verano here...it's a cozy place to sit and a great spot for people-watching in the lively square. The Chueca metro station is right next door. Everything's perfect.
Very bad because we paid €31 for 3 drinks and the woman rudely reprimanded us because one of my friends didn't respond to her greeting. I think customer service is much more than just serving drinks; it's about being sensible and considerate! On top of that, we have 30 minutes per drink per person, so they should have allowed 10 minutes per drink.
The older waitress behind the bar couldn't be more unpleasant and unfriendly. I don't know how she can be working with the public when there are so many friendly people eager to work. Business owners, please reconsider your staff and make sure they are friendly and helpful.
Great place with a great atmosphere to have a beer until it's time to pay. 6 euros for a pitcher seems crazy to me, but the waitress was really, really nice!
