Night clubs and show bars in La Nogalera
by Tony Bryant
Most of the night-bars in La Nogalera open at around 9pm, and stay open until daylight. The establishments vary from small intimate drinking haunts, to raving nightclubs and outrageous show bars, and they cater for ever gay trend imaginable.
One of the oldest gay drag-bars in Torremolinos is Contacto. Popular for its regular cabaret drag-show, karaoke and '80s disco nights, this show bar has a fabulously camp ambience.
Guys & Dolls (formerly Buff Bar) is a Gay music bar with cruising area and dark room located in the heart of La Nogalera.
This Berlin style bar plays the best dance music sets from the London club scene and presents nightly karaoke hosted by Barbie Botox. As the name might suggest, Guys & Dolls, which opens every night of the week, is frequented by both gay and lesbian clientele.
The choice of bars in this area is extensive and one will find bars and cafes to suit all preferences.
Men's Bar is a long-established cruising bar with a basement dark room and action videos that is popular with older guys and gigolos.
Codigo has large terrace and friendly staff, and its outrageously camp drag artistes and cabaret nights attract a relatively mixed audience.
Arcos is a modern English-style gay bar that has a great outdoor terrace and a large lounge area inside, while Free Eagle is a rather dark, cruisy bar with regular theme parties.
The Vida Bar has a relaxed atmosphere and tends to attract an older crowd; Bar Bacchus is one of the longest serving bear bars, and La Ruf, a Swedish cafe that serves Swedish tapas and cocktails.
