My Pleasure
Club · Calle de Orense 24, Madrid · 5.0 community rating · 1 reviews
My Pleasure is a Madrid queer fetish-and-electronic party brand, not a single permanent club.

District read
Chueca is still the symbolic and practical core, especially if you want bars, drag, terraces, and easy nightlife logic. But the best Madrid trips spill outward into nearby neighborhoods for food, daytime wandering, and a less concentrated version of the citys charm. Use Chueca as your anchor, not your cage.
Practical safety read
Madrid is generally one of the more comfortable major cities in Europe for queer visibility and everyday movement. The main thing to manage is normal city nightlife awareness: crowded streets, late returns, and the fact that the best part of the night often starts when you are already a little tired.
