    Beyond being one of the main entrance doors of Europe, Madrid has by tradition one of the best nights of the planet. The LL Showbar is not in the heart of Chueca, the gay District of the Spanish capital. It is the very heart of this city that it doesn’t stop. Here are the top performers who are driving the funniest gay night in Europe. Open every day and with amazing shows. It's definitely the best place in madrilenha gay night, in every way.

    Had a time of my life here! Came on a Sunday, the show was hosted by three beautiful drag queens. They sang and talked to the audience almost non-stop for about 4 hours up until the bar's closing time. The songs were well known, both Latin and western, some were performed live and some with lipsync. Can't say for everyone, but even as a non-Spanish speaker I enjoyed all of them. Also the queens frequently interacted with the audience, from what I learned there were plenty of other foreigners. The place got crowded at around 12 am, but there still was enough space for everyone, even for dancing. The staff was very friendly. The drinks are a bit expensive, but it's understandable as you pay for the show as well. I already miss this place and I wish to come back here soon!

    This place was an absolute highlight of my visit to Madrid. As a solo traveller who can't really speak Spanish, you have so many worries about going to a bar on your own, but both the HILARIOUS drag Queens and the bartender went out of their way to ensure I had a great time. In particular, Gala von Rich went out of her way to make me feel included and we had such a laugh. It's typically €9 entry, but that includes a token to either 2 beers or one spirit drink (and with the Spanish measures, you get your money's worth!!). 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a camp night! Whether you understand the language or not, you will have a lot of fun!

    Am a middle eastern guy living in Europe. I came here to this place just to have fun. I was drunk. They did fun of me( no right to do this as long as i am respecting everybody and respecting myself) and somebody showered me with the drink. I tried to do something but the waiter treated me so bad and took my drink instead of defending me for the bullying I had!!! I was just trying to entertain with positive vibes. Yet i was like left lonely and discriminated although i used to be always adorable and spreading positivity in other places like the night earlier. Am so disappointed I left with very bad momeries

    The LL bar is a lively place with entertaining shows. The Drag Queen's usually do a multicultural selection of music in various languages. The facility itself can be a little tight but, most places are smaller than in Canada or the USA. LL bar is definitely my favourite bar to start the night off when in Madrid 🇪🇸

    Charged €9 Entry. To get through a door to what felt like 300 trapped in a small box room. Couldn’t get to the bar at all, as everyone was sat or stood along it. By time we got a drink finally we where then told by a member of staff to move - we couldn’t even turn around it was that packed. We finally made it to the toilet entrance which was the quietest part other end of bar. Which meant to leave we had to then try and get past everyone. Surely it’s a health and safety risk having that many people in such a small enclosed space. Probably a ok bar if your a local, but if a tourist is avoid it wasn’t made to feel welcome and just squashed in to make more money.

    The show is low average. But the staff as mentioned in other reviews is insultingly arrogant. They literally treat you like animals. it is really a shame.

    Had fun watching the drag show at LL bar in Chueca on a Saturday night. Entry was €10 but you got 2 beers or 1 liquor with that, so definitely worth it to get some fun drag entertainment. Quite a mixed crowd of Spanish and international, so definitely a very welcoming venue to have fun in while in Madrid.

    We visited on a Sunday night, around 12:00am and it was packed, which was good as other places around were kinda empty. There was a drag show, in Spanish, but it was fun to watch. In between shows there was music, mostly in Spanish. It is mandatory to order at least one drink, but there is a waiter who walks around with small pastries and desserts which was nice. This is a place with fun atmosphere, so it's not a pickup place or a hard gay scene bar. Go here for some laughs and fun.

    Went there after a sudden encounter with this bar Seemed to be small and very friendly The drag show was funny for the most part, so good choice on the shows presented I feel like the drinks could be higher quality, but it's still a nice place to go to

    We had a great time there. Went 3 nights (Monday - Wednesday) in a row. Non stop drag shows until around 3. Drag shows are in Spanish, mostly featuring Spanish songs. Some of the artists were singing live during their performances.

    Amazing atmosphere and energetic performance! Wonderful and talented ladies scaled up the show to the max. There is no wonder people are queuing to see it.

    If you want to be insulted because you are gay, this is the place to be. We were insulted with really bad words. The manager Eddie said it was more important to him to serve drinks than address homophobia issues. I feel really bad for this place. Where are the principles?

    Cute little gay bar in Chueca. We were travelling in Madrid from the UK and went along to see a drag queen night. The queens were fabulous and amazing entertainment and two of us don’t speak Spanish!!! Haha

  • 5/5 Javier X. 1 year ago on Google
    It was fun, from the options in Chueca this one had a great vibe, the music was nice and the drag show funny

  • 5/5 Idan Z. 1 year ago on Google
    Loved this bar!! Even in the week days there are great drag show. This is a small bar, in which you can get a drink with the entrance you pay. The drag show was great, especially if you understand Spanish, but even if not, it's a lot of fun. Would for sure come back!!

    Great place for drinks and drag show. The crowd is easy going and the bar tenders are really friendly. Drinks are also not overpriced and you have happy hour before 11pm.

  • 1/5 Eli W. 1 year ago on Google
    Bad...all I have to say is the worst gay bar I ever visited...no place to dance..only one of the drags was acceptable...waiting in line 1 hour is not worth it all. ....really bad place!!!!AVOID

    Small but really cozy place. The drag presentation is really funny. The barmans were really fast and paid attention to what we needed even though our Spanish really sucked.
