landmark
Plaza de Chueca
The public square over Metro Chueca. It is the orientation point for the barrio, not a bar.
Chueca
Chueca is the walkable first evening in this census. Turismo Madrid says the neighbourhood filled its plazas and streets when the LGTBIQA+ community made it a nightlife district, and that it is open to anyone looking for a respectful night out. Start at Plaza de Chueca. Plaza de Pedro Zerolo is the other public square. Calle Pelayo, Calle Gravina, and Calle de las Infantas are listed as their own street areas to know — dense multi-venue strips inside the barrio.

Getting oriented
Think of this as an area to know, not a border.

Plaza de Pedro Zerolo
The other public square in this census. Turismo Madrid places the MADO pregón here. It is not a bar.
shop
Berkana
LGTBIQ+ bookshop at Calle Hortaleza 62. The official site says it opened in 1993 as the first specialised LGTBIQ+ bookshop in Spain and Latin America. Do not use the older Hortaleza 64 address.
bar
Fulanita de Tal
LGTBIQA+ nightlife room at Calle Regueros 9. The official site calls it a reference point for girls’ nights and programmes Fulanita en Vivo, with most of that stage given to women. Turismo Madrid says Thursday–Sunday, and that everyone is welcome.
club
Studio54 Madrid
Club at Calle Barbieri 7. The official site places it in Chueca, names copas, DJs, drag shows, and special events, and calls the room inclusive.
club
Why not?
Basement disco-bar at Calle de San Bartolomé 7. Turismo Madrid calls it an institution in Chueca, with baroque décor and disco. No official website was confirmed. OpenStreetMap still names the building El Rincón de los Cuates.
club
Black & White
Gay disco at Calle de la Libertad 34. Turismo Madrid says it opened in 1984, runs cabaret and drag shows, and splits a quieter upstairs from a dance floor downstairs.
