Loved this place for years. You should really open the bungalow. So much fun. I think the guy that runs the show (jerry) what a person. Life of the party. Ill go back when jerry is back.
Gave me a place to call home - whenever I need good vibes. Weekday or weekend. Staff is amazing and everyone is accepted.
Best drinks in town! Just left and will be back for sure! Ask Michael the best bartender for his favorite cucumber drink and thank me later! Its not often that you see someone that actually put everything in the drink that he makes!
This is a trashy place, dirty and disgusting space, staff is so rude, I had my belongings in the bar and they robbed me. Nathan’s is definitely a better place, more classy.
Horrible and rude security at the door! Not welcoming at all!
The environment of the rooms was great, different music and different decor in each space! No cover charge, and had fun while there.Other than us, we probably saw maybe 2 other females there while we were there, which left us feeling a bit weird.People smoking everywhere, and I wish this was limited to just outdoors or that I had known beforehand that smoking indoors was allowed.Asked for water and was told they only sell bottled water, which I was not impressed with from a place that sells alcohol.
This is by the my favourite club on Miami Beach. No cover charge, drinks are reasonably priced, great music, friendly bar tenders (especially Derek on the main floor bar, hes our favourite). The only thing that kind of put a damper on my Twist experience is the short bald guy in the ground floor bathroom that gets mad if you dont tip him for handing you a paper towel. Like I can get my own thanks.
*Visitor perspective* We went in 2pm, me and my two sisters and we had an amazing Kiki with Carlton the bartender here. Carlton ranks #1 on my list of Bartenders Ive meet in Miami, he was so funny, its definitely gay humor and we were laughing house down boots. 10/10
I walked all the way from midbeach to go to Twist for the first time and the bouncer claimed he couldn’t see the holographic film on my driver’s license, even though it was clearly visible and validated by other patrons. He turned me away and told me to bring a passport next time, definitely won’t be returning!
Privately owned and poorly managed. Never have I arrived anywhere and been blatantly insulted by the bouncer. I came to twist (I go very often) with my cousin from Uruguay and the bouncer literally pushed my cousin out of the line and screamed at him saying he will not let him in without a passport. We were taken aback considering we had just arrived and he immediately told me to stop smiling (i was laughing nervously at my cousin) and I asked the man to please relax and not be so rude (this was my cousins welcome to Miami). He immediately began calling me annoying and obnoxious and said he was “ready to ruin my night” honestly no idea what he meant by that and stunned that anyone would say that. I walked away shocked and noticed a man in a suit jacket behind him who I approached and finally explained that international people must have a passport or picture of passport which honestly can also be fake so I don’t get what the issue is. Obviously I understood and I simply said that it would be nice if the bouncer could be a bit more polite. The bouncer noticed me talking to the man and immediately approached us and continued to insult me and tell me to get out of there. I retained my calm demeanor throughout the whole encounter and of course the man in the suit jacket escaped while he could. I said whatever and walked away as the man (bouncer) continued to insult me.Honestly I’ve spent countless nights at twist and paid for the incredibly expensive $18 Red Bull and vodka’s because I always considered this a nice place to be, but never again.I don’t care that we weren’t let it in and I immediately understood why but I am shocked at how someone could be so rude and that management would not only allow it but endorse it.
A very nice place. Interior with features and changing styles. Drinks are not cheap, but the price is consistent with the quality of services. Nice and helpful staff. Purely. When promotions take place here, you can get free drinks and a private room for an hour. To do this, I had to register on 909gay,com to create a profile, and show the administrator. Good place, now I’m constantly there.
One of the few bar I really enjoyed in the last years. I went there during the week and there was still a decent amount of people. So many rooms with different style of music. Yeah the drinks are a bit expensive, bit theres no cover charge. The thing I really enjoy less was the smoking everywhere. That should only be allowed outside the club.
Awesome club! One of the best in Miami Beach. Reeked like cigarettes the next day though... And management, PLEASE ditch the plastic straws!!!! It takes over 400 years to decompose and most of your patrons throw these straws away at your club. Even if you did recycle, recycling plants are overwhelmed. PLEASE STOP!
The bouncer is aggressive. Denied us entry because he didn’t recognize our state’s ID. Told us to come back in two hours when his manager was there so that his manager could verify that the ID was real.... it was a standard state ID. Don’t see the problem...
A unique and amazing place always filled with happy people looking to have a great time... And with bars playing music for everyone from dance to Latin music you cant go wrong... The bartenders are also great and really add to the club.
I got kicked out without reason. Please don’t go, you will waste you money. I think this club didn’t allow non native English. I’ve been hurt because it was my special vacation at Miami
This is an amazing club, whenever you get a chance to visit it, look for Charlie, he is the best bartender, he makes this place unique, enjoyable and friendly to anyone!!!!!!! Im so glad to visit this club where the LGBT community is so nice!!! I only described as: friendly, nice and great!!!!!!!!! I LOVE IT! i recommend it!!!!
OMG!! I cant tell you how much fun I had with Mikey and Mario (bartenders). They made my quick visit worth wild and the best part of Miami. Not only did they provided me with tasty drinks, but they looked after my friend and I. I cant give enough props to these two amazing men. Thank you for looking out for my friend and I!! I truly appreciate your attentiveness and respect. Wish I could visit Twist more...
Came to visit this past weekend, stayed about 20 minutes and left! I think this place lacks diversity in music. While the bar itself is not the problem, the music is. I like that each room has a different vibe and type of music, however, not everyone is Spanish! They should work on incorporating/mixing in music that will appeal to a larger audience; especially on the weekend.
It was hard to say anything. The ambitious is nice! But the way they treated new guys there is way too much and only about money! I know money is quite important but the way you did is not the right one. Hope you did the better way and make it worth it!!!
Can’t recommend this place enough, the bar staff treated us like royalty. We were entertained and educated with great local knowledge. Huge selection of beers and spirits, music, clean facilities, great place.
I had a bottle of Vodka and a VQ champagne at the vip área. Last year was phenomenal with a great service by the staff I remember this guy Carlos the server wow that was a nice server compared to the guy over there so cold :(
This ones hard to rank. Its a nice place, with three separate area plus an outdoor space, albeit a small one. Theres something to be said for a gay club in South Beach that cant be quantified. Compared to other major gay clubs in similar destination cities, it feels small and unexciting. I had a good time. Drinks were reasonable and the gogos were attractive. Simple but elegant is the phrase I would use.
A classic in Miami, it’s a nice place to spend a whole night (has different areas playing different styles). Actually when I go to Miami, I go more than once
I like going to Twist because of how diverse and fun the place is. Now the bartenders are rude af, and Ive paid three different prices for the same drink at three different bars inside the club. This past Wednesday i bought two vodka and Redbulls and the bartender said it was $ 26 but he opened one can of Redbull for both drinks, when I asked why he didnt use two can as it is supposed to be he just said it is what it is Honey. I always feel im being robbed.
Ive been going to this place for 15 years always loved it until last night one of the stripers was very disrespectful with me and my girlfriend.
I honestly have never been to an establishment where the bouncer was so rude. Just because he can’t comprehend that I have glasses in my id and not in person he was very rude even before asking for my ID.
There are very hospitable bartenders, great music and great cocktails. They often hold promotions, if you register at 909gay,com and create a profile, you can get a free private room for 2 hours and a free cocktail.
Had a great time, best gay nar in Miami
Great place. So this place has different bars, each with different music/feel, all within “ Twist”. We stayed in the more mellow area w the all the go-go boys. Very chill. Great, generous bar tenders. Go-go boys terrific all ‘round. Fun night!! Thanks!
The bar tender was very rude, arrogant and very Confrontational. I asked for a corona with a lemon and he gave me my beer but he wasn’t satisfied with the tip I gave him. So he proceeded to talk about me to the next guest that he was serving. After that moment I felt very uncomfortable with the POOR service! Him and the people he was serving laughing at me an continues to talk about me to his guest. If you not satisfied with you job and how much you make get a new one! Moving forward will I Visit twist again?? Hell no! The bar tender was located down stairs back right side of the club hope he has a good life and work on his people skills! But I give twist Fire him!
They’ve been better. The Latin room suddenly has English music, all they need to do is put a nice reggaetón playlist and they’re done. But instead they want to put some bad Brazilian and pop music.
Charlie was the absolute best bartender I have ever met and I’ve been to quite a few LOL. He is so funny and sweet!
OverratedSlowGo to ibiza - miamis nikki beach is booooring
I am a regular customer but be careful they will overcharged your bill if you pay by card. Just happened to me last Thursday. $27 instead of $25. It’s not a lot but that behavior should be notified. I am going to complain to my bank.Just pay by cash, especially if you are just visiting Miami...
2 day agoThe security was very rude, arrogant and very Confrontational. So I called the manager but didn’t solve the problem or anything . After that moment I felt very uncomfortable with the service their providern. Moving forward I will never ever Visit twist again?? Hell no!
My favorite place for 20 years. Got to know the owners, managers and become friends with few of the bartenders. Everybody always been great to me the past twenty years at Twist. No complaints
Fun place but.... no cover fee, fun atmosphere, dancers... good music +++(- cons) the smoking inside is awful.... no place for fresh air since everyone around you are smoking. Drinks are overpriced and served over full pint of ice... ordered same drinks on two different bars and was charged 2 different amounts... not consistent?But overall a fun place to go with your friends.
21+, no postingsof this online, only on the door once you arrive.
Ahhh Twist, definitely our go to hangout when visiting South Beach. With multiple bars its easy to find a setting you can agree with. The entertainment is usually on point as well. Definitely love ourselves some Pussila, she is hysterical. If youre a gay man visiting South Beach this definitely needs to be a spot you visit.
Nice place to have fun. Many bars rooms, patio and fun place to hang out. Downside drinks are expensive and needs to be smoke free inside.
Great place with few bars inside and good music.
I ordered the same drinks at two different bars though was charged two different amounts. At the Latin Bar, anyone ordering whiskey was charged for Crown Royal though never saw it poured. GET A RECEIPT BEFORE PAYING!
Fun and a little raunchy later in the evening.
We had a good time, however I can see how it might be too much for some.It is large, with plenty of spaces to move around to, which is nice particularly if you have a creeper or looky loo people just staring. Music/DJ was good, and the locals - who immediately knew we were out-of-towners no matter how hard we tried to hide it, were very nice. Boughr us a drink even, which NEVER happens back home.Al.ost like clubbing in the old days.They stay open until 5am. Okaaaaay
Always a super fun time here at Twist - hot guys, fun crowd and strong drinks!
Cool spot love the multi room options
Awesome club! Hot guys and good vibez. The drinks are a bit priced but there is no cover charged!
Its a chimney of people smoking inside.This kind of place needs to be sued about damaging public health.
Best time of my life! Went down to Miami for vacation and got LIIIIIIITTTT AT Twist! Had so much fun. Strippers are fine as hell.
Always a great time here. The music is bumpin and the vibe is always just right. Theres never been a cover the many times Ive been. The drink prices are reasonable and the service is always quick. A Sobe must. ️
This is a really good bar and the staff at the back of the bar are really nice and friendly and the young thin doorman with the glasses who is on early when it first opens is a really nice guy. ( until the other door men turn up who he is clearly scared of )But this place is spoiled by the rude ignorant homophobic fat doormen that come in later in the night. The small fat one that walks round inside giving everyone dirty looks and been as rude as possible to anyone he can is really really horrible and the one who sits outside thinking he is as big as 10 men is even worse and just an ignorant homophobic fat rude bully .Why would the owners of this place give work to these ignorant nasty guys when there quiet clearly spoiling the place and making people not want to go there
Beautiful place. Diferent places with all kind of music. I loved it.
Twist is a great club. My favourite in Miami. Such a variety of music and friendly staff! Drinks arent as pricey as Palace.$10 for vodka tonic and in a real glass ($11 in palace and in a small plastic cup)There was no cover charge on the nights we were there!Definitely recommend this place!!
The guards at the door didn’t let us in because we have a bag with us. We were asking to check the bags to show them we have nothing dangerous but they didn’t want to check out our bags and they didn’t let us go in... very rude... I apréciate that you have customers enough to lose money!! And thank you for the lack of hospitality!! I spend my money drinking at palace :) the people who work there are more friendly :) never come back!!
Horrible experience. contacted the manager and he didnt do anything about it.The Bartender was abusive and tried to mistreat me I come to Miami every week and i have never met someone as disrespectful and rude as Tony.In the hospitality industry he has no place i truly wish him all the best but Please do not aproach him.In the hospitality industry in Miami beach i have encounter rude people but none like him.
I had a really fun time here. Multi- level bar with several bars to hang out in. Dancer walk around and were nice to talk to. Different rooms to fit your mood. Good music and fun little dark dance floor.
I love it here and come back year after year but I just observed two go go dancers pressure a customer at the ATM and force him to withdraw cash. Very unprofessional.... There should be more oversight.
Very rude bartender who must represent the spirit of a gay club such a Twist. This guy must be from Eslovaquia or some place like that. Blonde air and very impolite.I understand the pressure of working at night with that level of people around but, again, customer services. More when we use to go and bring people over there.
Screen i.n.,666 Gothic metal everlasting Eternal Life,very important its the one.not dumb comment hey.
Super super friendly staff, great drink and affordable, highly recommend
This place is horrible. How is card not accepted at the bar?? Plus the music was the same in every single room none of it was good.
Always fun to hang out there. Needs to be smoke free though.
Awesome place to hang out and drink. Very friendly environment. Would definitely come back
This is a REAL dance factory. I love this club. It is great to just go crazy and lose yourself. With that said, you should NOT bring your phone inside. I kept my phone in my front pocket the whole time. Within MINUTES of taking a couple selfies and putting it back in my pocket, IT WENT MISSING. The crowd will engulf you if you let it- sketchy and very smart burglars here. Leave your phone at the hotel. Take a taxi back. It is less expensive than losing your phone.
IT WAS MY FIRST TIME IN SOUTH BEACH, I WAS SUPPOSED TO MEET MY FRIENDS IN THIS CLUB, VERY EXCITED TO GET HERE. I CAME WITH MY MOM AND MY SISTER WITH THE IDEA TO SHOW THEM THE GAY COMMUNITY THAT I’M SO PROUD TO BE PART OF... WE GOT IN TO THE ENTRANCE, MY MOM AND MY SISTER SHOWED TO THE BOUNCER A FEDERAL ARGENTINEAN ID AND THE BOUNCER SAID ONLY PASSPORT... HOW CAN THEY EXPECT FROM US TO GO AROUND THE CITY WITH A PASSPORT!? HOW IRRESPONSIBLE IS THAT FOR A INTERNATIONAL TRAVELER! I FOUNDED IT A TOTALLY XENOPHOBIC ACTION FROM THE BOUNCER AND A RIDICULOUS CONDITION FOR IDENTIFICATION IN A VERY TOURISTIC CITY LIKE SOUTH BEACH...IN NYC I NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. MY FAMILY FELL TOTALLY DISCRIMINATED. AFTER ALL, YOU SHOW ME THAT GAY COMMUNITY HERE, CAN BE EXCLUSIVE AND RACIST. I FEEL SORRY...
The security guy didn’t allow us to get in because we didn’t have the passports, instead we had national id’s. He was very rude to us.
When YOU Want The Best In LGBTQ Service, Dont YOU Settle For Anything Less In Quality & Quantity Of Products Offered. Feel Better Neighborhood Style Atmosphere! They Go The Extra Mile In Satisfaction.
Great atmosphere and not bothered what your orientation is... Good show.
I had a great time there during my visit in Calgary. Shout out to management and the staff behind the bar for providing much needed entertainment
Smokey AF. Left immediately. Sorry fellas.
I love the music and the vibe. So many options depending what youre looking for in a night out. The only reason I give this place 3 stars instead of 5 is that they allow smoking indoors. Its hard to enjoy your night when you cant breath and get burned by other peoples cigarettes when you walk past.
Nice club, lovely people, music.
My fave bar in Florida day or night! Every single employee is genuinely friendly. You can tell when people are having fun and like their coworkers. They make me feel like I am part of the family though its obvious I lack what would seem necessary accouterments. They are just nice! Plus, it is really SEVEN bars and each has a distinct style so you can please your every mood by walking one room to the next. Dont ask me to pick a favorite! I feel safe there. Great drinks---no cheap wells.
Jose Daniel did a fantastic job of keeping everyone up and ready to party but also safe, hes the best!
Lets just call it okish.
The place was nice, there was no cover charge, hot dancers and a good amount of attractive people...what I didnt like, is that I had no idea 99% of the people dress with Jeans and a shirt, so I walk in with fishnet tights because i have my feminine moments and really felt judged..people would often look at me giggling and Im pretty sure i caught someone filming me...not cool, I walked in with the impression that you were in a judge free environment...people act like they never seen fishnet before jesus christ
I had a bad experience with the African Male security guaurd at the front door. Every time I come there he has a bad attitude, and always turns African Americasn away from the door for the past year. everyone complains that he has bias aginst certain individuals at any given time....
I have been here a few times and I love. Djs are beyond great and the bartenders are hot + they havr sexy dancers as well. This is spot for all, even straights. When you.come here just let loose and have fun.
Evil owners would rather screw you up than help evil evil owners .. I would never ever go back.
Very interesting place for sure. But very famous for Its robberies inside. You must bring nothing of value to twist, and keep in sight your phone and wallet at all times. Some barrenders are very involved in this. Shame
Fun club
Please hire a new host please. Where are the owners? Joel hello. This guy gotta go. Cokehead host. He has same old dancers. Wake up twist
I dont even mean to write this but its when the bartender doesnt even have any manners to say thank you and claims they have. Hes tall and brown hair and should be fired for not even being here awhile enough to say that. Dismiss him already. There are many people who would love this job. Come for me again. Top floor, 1st of March.
2/15/19 at 2:50 AMI was robbed by a dancer named Yoan ! While he was tring to put his hands down my pants He slip money out of my pocket and shortly after excused him self. After contacting management it got even more crazy !They were sceaming at me to leave and said it was not possible.I WILL NEVER RETURN !!Management is in on the thievery ! PLEASE PLEASE BEAWARE!!!!
Excellwnr gay enviorment in Miami. Nice ambiance and service.
Great music, great staff, fun friendly atmosphere, needs a Starbucks
We had a great time here. The layout was nice, multiple dance areas with different types of music - both indoor and outdoor. The drinks were a fair price, and the bartenders were attentive.
The good: No cover to get in, There are 6 different rooms plus a small courtyard that each has their own atmosphere for a diverse experience.The bad: Its very dark and attracts a particularly ugly crowd of people. Ive gone here many times over the last decade and very rarely have I seen anyone I was genuinely attracted to...sometimes the occasional tourist who didnt know of a better option. A few of the strippers are good looking, but they are straight and they have a reputation of bullying older men and stealing wallets. The gays who go here walk around like they are on a catwalk, taking themselves very serious even though they are mostly feminine and ugly. The people here are either really drunk and dancing obnoxiously (the tourists) or standing around looking incredibly miserable and serious (the locals), but perhaps thats just the pretension of South Beach nightlife. The other gay nightclub Score recently closed down and so now half of the staff is filled up with people who are now lost because they made their entire lifes career working at what used to be the competition. Some of them have really miserable/aggressive attitudes which contributes to the overall decline in morale this nightclub is experiencing.
Matt the bartender is great. And very very good looking. Super friendly
Ive been to many clubs in SF, LA,... by far the best experience ever! Driks are well priced for the area and they have a Latin music section! Will come back again and again and again
I am not used to the chose what you want to drink from what you can see and I chose how much Ill charge for it, but I had a great time in there. Most barmans are super attentive. I recommend a visit. The place is huge.
Reasonably priced drinks (8-9$ for vodka Coke, mojitos, screwdriver, etc) bartenders are really nice. Music is lit everywhere you go and the dancers are great. Dont believe the bad reviews at all and go in with an open mind. Be sure to check out all dance floors!
Twist has several bars and dance floors. The music was great and the bartenders were really nice. Theres also no cover. All-in-all, Twist was fun and had a blast.
First thing the watered-down the tequila it was awful then my girlfriend try to buy some water and the bartender was very rude with her, he gave her 2 glasses of water with attitude and said to her merry christmas. Later i ask him for water and he told me that he had a big line he cant do it.The music was good, but the drinks are awful and some bartenders have a nasty attitude.
Toxicity at its best. Homophobe security and the cast of mean girls as your bar tenders. I’d rather eat my own ass than visit again. Enjoy Miami
Came here on a Sunday night with a friend who wanted to introduce me to one of their fav South Beach dive-y gay bars. How this place is considered dive-y, I dont know because it is HUGE and very labyrinthine.I loved the vibe from the minute I interacted with the bouncer at the door. Very welcoming and inclusive and just walking past the front bar, several patrons said hello and started chatting.My friend and I went to the back bar where they have go-go dancers after a time. There is also an upstairs bar, but it had not opened yet when we arrived.The bartenders in the back were gorgeous (natch) and almost immediately, the show started after we grabbed a barstool. The show was emceed by an abfab drag queen (as you would expect) who was not only interactive, hysterical, and engaging with the crowd, but just knew how to have fun and push the boundaries just enough.The go-go dancers were ridiculously hot, like you cannot believe there are such perfect male specimens in existence who can move their hips like that!When we first got to the back bar, we were one of the few there, but in a matter of 30mins, the place was packed! It was like an instant party and was so much fun!The drinks were a bit pricey for $10 you-call wells, but they make them strong and with the added entertainment, well worth the price!I cant wait to return the next time Im in town!
