While the gay hub of Chueca boasts many of the gay fetish bars and clubs in Madrid, there’s also an intense scene in the Lavapiés neighborhood.

From Madrid gay sex clubs to the best gay bathhouses in Madrid, you'll be spoilt for choice in Spain's capital when it comes to gay cruising.

Gay cruise, sex bars, and clubs in Madrid

The thriving fetish scene in Madrid offers up plenty of cruise and sex bars and clubs to check out. One of the most famous—and popular—is the Strong Center, where you can drink, dance, and have fun in several zones. Strong Center is located just a five-minute walk from Chueca, making it a cinch to visit should you be up for some extra late-night fun after a night dancing in one of the area's local gay clubs. What the Strong Center lacks in size, it makes up for in effort, packing everything into a single small space. We're talking a cruising area, dance area, and private rooms with bunk beds.

Not feeling the vibes for Strong Center in terms of a gay cruising venue in Madrid? Attack, The Ring, and Naked Bar are also popular gay cruising venues in Madrid. Naked is a great option should you like to get your kink on as the venue regularly hosts themed parties, but with a straightforward rule: be naked! Be sure to check out their website for the gay party schedule. Lastly, Boyberry in Chueca is another must: it’s a gay bar, sex club, and shop, and is always busy. Spread across different areas, Boyberry has a main cruising area, which comes complete with cabins, spy holes, glory holes, and a play area. Freshen up at the bar and find Mr. Right for the night.
