About this place Chessa Bar

Chessa is one of those small bars that ends up being the anchor of an evening. It sits in the middle of the Nogalera plaza, serves proper cocktails and bar food, and the host greets returning guests by name. Saturday nights belong to Miss Dolores, the resident drag queen whose show packs the terrace with locals and tourists alike. Hours run from 5pm to 2am Sunday to Thursday and until 3am on Friday and Saturday, so it works both as an early-evening terrace stop and a proper night out.

Maiky is the amazing host of this intimate, busy gay bar with many international guests. We have known the Chessa bar since the beginning (2005). It was taken over by Maiky in February 2026, and thanks to him, it has become more beautiful, busier, and more fun.

Very nice and cosy bar. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Possible to sit outside on the terrace. Also nice that the bar opens 17:00 for a afternoon drink. Highly recommend
