Fun place!

We had a GREAT time at Twist; the multiple bars allow you to find a place you can enjoy & then go on to a different type of music if you like. Chris L. was our favorite bartender & made us feel at home. We met people from all over the country & the world, which we love to do. The only part we did not care for was the "dancer bar" in the back; felt like being hustled to me, but to each his own.

What a dump!

I was really expecting something decent after reading all these glowing reviews. I was surprised at how run down the place is; its long overdue for painting and freshening up. Also both dance floors were mediocre at best and the sound systems weren't very good. The whole place reminded me of a basement rec room. It's one of those places where they make carts of money but don't give anything back to the patrons for their bucks.

Definitely the place to go in Sobe!

If you are a snobby, designer obsessed, "I am better than you" type, you will not go to Twist. Twist is a 'everyone" type club where any type of gay person can go and have a great time. This is not a poser bar at all!!!! Yes, it can be sleazy, edgy, insane but it is loads of fun. That is the "charm" of Twist. Great music and some of the hunkiest male go-go dancers anywhere period dance there. As in almost all Sobe clubs, the party doesn't start until after midnight...then it gets packed. The notorious dark dance floor has more light now due to past incidents of pickpocketing and yes, the infamous, free-for-all sex on the dancer floor "incidents."( I will never tell!!!!) Even us locals love this place, no attitude, no cover charge, reasonably priced drinks, lots of fun and maybe you will have a story to tell later too...wink...wink!!!!

A cool bar

Twist has been around for a very long time, perhaps longer than any other gay bar/dance club on South Beach. Its a fun bar, always full of down-to-earth men. You definitely won't find the pretty, Prada-wearing, poser boys here but I've seen some pretty hot guys there on the occasions when I went. Its got different rooms with different type of music, so you can move around according your taste. Admittedly, its a bit on the sleazy side though. Still, I think its one of the better gay bars/clubs on South Beach and in all of Miami. All of the really good gay clubs that used to be on South Beach either closed down or went hetero years ago. That's why the real party people used to head north to Fort Lauderdale to hang out at the Coliseum on the weekends. If you're the type of person who has sophisticated taste you probably will not enjoy hanging out in Twist. Its just not set up to appeal to a high-profile clientele.
