Popular with a hot young crowd, Arena Madre is one of the top LGBTQI+ clubs in town (though these days it can be quite mixed). Mainly pop, dance and house music, with a striptease show on Monday, drag shows on Tuesday and Wednesday, a Thursday reggaeton night, and live shows throughout the week.
There's also Arena Classic next door, which hosts popular lesbian events including nightly Aire.
