Madrid gay bars with dark rooms
Strong Center
The dancefloor at the Strong Center is a forlorn, empty place. Don't dismay, however, as no one comes here for the music, and you're just about to uncover Spain's biggest and most labyrinthine darkroom, where you can lose yourself among hundreds of hot, horny men.

The concept is as follows: you enter in what it seems to be the entrance to a haberdashery store and you end up in a big club with 3 environments: the Central Area with dance-electronic music and rock & roll; the Black Room with mind, funk, and R&B music; and the Apotheke, with disco music of the ‘80s and a carefully crafted menu of signature cocktails.
