Black & White

One of the pioneer bars in the local gay neighbourhood of Chueca, the Black & White has been around more than 30 years and is one of the most legendary bars of Madrid's nightlife, which is really saying something. It's open every day from 10pm, so if you're in the mood for an early drink on, say, a Tuesday, you know where to go. Another thing the Black & White has going for it is that it hosts shows and performances such as the 'Hoscars' and the popular competition for who will be crowned 'El chicho del verano'. There's a younger crowd at weekends.
