Two floors of anarchic decor, people and lifestyles. Posters and squatters' graffiti on the walls, assorted furniture here and there. Clientele are gay (mostly), ethnic, hetero, alternative or whatever. On Sunday mornings the management organizes a flea market (clothes and handicrafts) that stays open until 10p. On Thursday nights, there's live cabaret-theater. The music is as eclectic as the clientele and furniture: everything from salsa to rock and roll, with a bit of disco and Spanish crooners thrown in for good measure. Prices are reasonable, and if it's a slow night, there are lots of board games to choose from. Prices are good.
This is a dedicated late-night live music venue that promotes all sorts of bands, playing anything from commercial pop and rock to hip-hop, acid jazz, and funk. Gigs are normally held Thursday through Saturday nights. There are two floors, so if you are not here for the music or want to escape it, head upstairs. The stage, the dance floor, and ledges to sit on are downstairs, as well as a bar at the far end.
The Hot bar of Madrid is one of the most delightful gay bars you will come across in the city. The bar was opened in 2006 and till date it's still popular among the locals and tourists alike.

For further details on upcoming events check their website.
Since its opening in 1994, Triskel Tavern has become a local drinking and mingling hub for ex-pats. Better known as "The Triskel" by its patrons, this bar offers a variety of weekly events, including a Monday night pub quiz, comedy nights every Wednesday, and open mic nights every Thursday, all of which are hosted in the downstairs cavern, which was formally used to cure Spanish hams. They've got five different beers on tap, from that beloved dark Guinness to Dry Blackthorn Cider, as well as Scottish malt and Irish blended whiskies. Apart from the downstairs happenings, this is a great place to watch a soccer game or to cure starvation (combine a pint of beer with the Ploughman's lunch served with homemade chips). -Michelle Campagna
El Gato de Tres Patas is a very popular establishment in Alcala de Henares. Their tapas is what they are known for and you would know the reason once you taste it. One should also try their daily menu which includes everything for no cost at all. Their other popular dishes are chicken breast grilled, fried egg, white rice and salad or fried squid, white rice, chips and salad; all of which come as a single meal. Their quality is impeccable and service efficient. They host DJ nights and some days you get to witness other interesting events as you relish your fare. It is a definite must visit!
