Venue Detail
Black & White
About this venue
Black & White is the "Grand Dame" of Chueca. Open since the early 80s, this iconic disco-bar is a piece of living history where the energy is high, the lashes are long, and "every day is a Saturday". It’s the kind of place where you go to witness the best of Spanish drag culture while dancing until the sun comes up.

Venue intelligence
Know before you go
Typical queue
Black & White is generally a walk-in bar rather than a velvet-rope queue. The trade-off for arriving late is a fuller room and slower service, especially on event nights.
Best night
Black & White — Saturday has the clearest venue-specific pull. Arrive earlier for social space or later for the fullest version of the room.
Locals vs visitors
Expect LGBTQ+ guests and friends at Black & White. The mix changes with the hour and programme, so an early visit can feel very different from the late-night room.
Dress code in practice
Relaxed, expressive barwear works at Black & White. There is no need to over-style it unless a show or themed night says otherwise.
Staff inclusion
Black & White presents itself as LGBTQ+-friendly and the overall guest experience is the best guide to the welcome. For specific access needs, contact the team before travelling.
