Best Lesbian Bars & Clubs in Madrid
Along those same lines we are not aware of any straight up lesbian bars in Madrid for women to meet women in your area. With that said starting your night at Tal Fulanita, Club 33, or Fluide Escape Chueca wouldn’t be a bad idea and the mixed list should have plenty of options for you.

It would be great if you could use the comments section to let us know if you notice anything dated.
