What makes Marrakech stand out

Marrakech is on Calle República de Cuba in the Centro Histórico, where a small queer bar strip has formed in recent years. The place is decorated in camp style, with lots of kitsch, and the dance floor is constantly full. 80s pop and Latin play, and drag and cabaret shows start around midnight.

The drinks are cheap, and payment is cash only.

Atmosphere and crowd

The crowd is mixed, young and warm-hearted, Mexicans and tourists. The exuberant mood and the music get praise. People dance themselves sweaty here.
