Sure, you could eat here and it probably wouldn’t kill you, but it’s not the food that’s the main attraction at this multi-space venue.

Fun and friendly Chueca institution, offering up light-hearted pop music, a mixed crowd of hot young things, and decent cocktails.

A former brothel keeps its decor sexy and provides grown up clubbers with a late night escape of house and electro in a red-lit room.

A fun and hugely popular gay ghetto haunt with huge screens playing the latest music videos from Kylie & friends to get you in the mood.

On sunny afternoons Plaza Chueca fills up with local boys out to look and be looked at.

Part restaurant, part packed bar, part chill out patio, Suite has something for everybody and is a safe place to start the night.
