Barcelona, Barcelona
Eclectic cocktail bar with drag, burlesque, and cultural events
Named for the transgender Warhol superstar, Candy Darling opened in September 2019 on Gran Via in upper Eixample, across from the University of Barcelona, and built its identity on art and activism as much as nightlife. The program changes constantly: nightly drag and burlesque, but also poetry readings, live music, bingo, book launches, stand-up, talks, and pop-up queer markets, with rotating art on the walls and a small mini-disco known as the Wild Room at the back. It reads as a deliberate counterweight to the more masculine, circuit-leaning energy of the main Gayxample strip — the crowd skews mixed, eclectic, and creative rather than club-uniform. The kitchen plays along with camp-named toasties. If you want a queer night with ideas in it, not just a dance floor, this one is worth crossing town for.

Cherry Grove is where gay America summered before there was a word for it. Here's the complete guide to Fire Island's original queer hamlet — its history, its drag-soaked nightlife, where to stay and eat, the beach, and how it differs from the Pines next door.
