Museo Chicote

Historic cocktail bar · Gran Vía · City centre · Madrid

Pause for a cocktail on Gran Vía at a Madrid institution whose story began in 1931.

A little old Madrid in your glass

Give Gran Vía more than a passing glance and stop at Museo Chicote. Founded in 1931, this cocktail bar brings a different chapter of Madrid into an itinerary built around Chueca. Its Art Deco heritage and long association with cinema, music and visiting stars make the setting part of the occasion. We’d choose it for a drink with a little history attached.

History with an evening still to come

The name may suggest a museum, but this is a working bar, with cocktails, food and a music programme that continues its life in the city. Plan it as a pause before another evening stop, or stay if the current session suits your mood. Chicote attracts a mixed public; its place in this selection is as a historic Madrid address close to the queer neighbourhood, rather than a dedicated LGBTQ+ venue.
