Bar LL

About this place Bar LL

Bar LL on Calle de Pelayo is one of the anchor bars of Chueca — a long-running, unpretentious gay bar on the street that is the spine of the neighbourhood. The terrace is one of Calle Pelayo's better outdoor drinking spaces, particularly valuable in Madrid's summer and spring evenings when the street fills with terrace-drinkers and the social life of the neighbourhood is conducted largely outdoors. Bar LL is not a themed venue or a circuit bar; it is a good neighbourhood bar that has been part of Chueca's social fabric for long enough to feel indispensable. The crowd is mixed by age and varied in character — local regulars alongside visitors, men and women, a relaxed atmosphere that does not require any particular performance. For a Chueca evening, Bar LL is an obvious first or last stop: accessible, comfortable, and reliably populated.
