Legendary kitsch gay bar in Mexico City’s Centro Histórico. Iconic drag shows, cheap drinks, and high-energy pop for the LGBTQ+ community.
Discover the heartbeat of Mexico City's queer nightlife at Marrakech Salón, a legendary fixture on any savvy traveler’s gay map. Located in the vibrant Centro Histórico on the iconic Calle de Cuba, "El Marra" is much more than just a gay bar—it is a kitsch-retro institution where history, pop culture, and uninhibited joy collide. Stepping inside Marrakech Salón feels like entering a neon-soaked, 1970s Mexican cinema dream. Known for its "no-attitude" policy, this high-energy sanctuary welcomes a diverse mix of gay men and the wider LGBTQ+ community. The walls are adorned with powerful imagery of Mexico’s queer history, while the dance floor pulses to an eclectic mix of 80s pop, reggaeton, and classic Mexican divas. Whether you’re cheering on the sultry drag shows, watching bare-chested bartenders serve up affordable house cocktails, or dancing under the gaze of kitschy decor, the energy here is infectious. As the neons illuminate the historic streets, Marrakech Salón stands as a beacon of freedom and love. It’s the perfect place to experience the authentic soul of CDMX nightlife. Don't forget to catch the iconic neon sign on your way out: “Gracias por su preferencia… sexual.” For an unforgettable, high-glam night in the capital, this is your premier destination.
