Twist

I was very excited to visit Twist while in town, as it’s often talked about as a must-see LGBT nightclub. Unfortunately, the experience didn’t quite live up to the hype, especially compared to other LGBT clubs I’ve visited across the country. The music was good and kept the energy going, but the overall atmosphere felt lacking. The club lighting was surprisingly underwhelming—mostly old-style, wedding DJ–type lights rather than the dynamic, immersive lighting you’d expect from a popular nightclub. This made the space feel dated and less exciting. Drink prices were another major downside. They were extremely overpriced and wildly inconsistent depending on the bartender. At one bar, we ordered 3 shots that were served in tiny disposable shot glasses and somehow totaled over $45. Later, at a different bar, we paid the same amount but received much more generous pours in a glass. That kind of inconsistency is frustrating, especially at those prices. To make matters worse, a very small bottle of water cost $6. Mario deserves a shoutout as he was the best bartender of all of the ones we visited. The layout also didn’t offer many options if you wanted to step away from the noise—there was almost nowhere quiet enough to have a conversation without shouting, except for outside or a hallway. While we still managed to have a good time overall, the experience didn’t feel worth the money. Twist wasn’t terrible, but it fell short of expectations and doesn’t stand out when compared to other LGBT nightlife spots around the country.

i love the bar and atmosphere. Dillon at bar 7 was very well mannered and made out first time here super memorable. I spent all ight here and his bar was my absolute favorite 🙂

An absolute must-visit if you're visiting Miami! Twist isn’t just a bar—it’s a South Beach landmark of LGBTQ+ history, culture, and community. The energy here is electric, welcoming everyone from first-timers to long-time regulars. The staff? Friendly, fast, and never without a smile -- be sure to tip the amazing bartenders! The DJs and drag shows are legendary—full of talent, sass, and heart. Whether you're looking to dance, connect, or just soak in the atmosphere, Twist delivers every time! There’s a reason Twist is iconic -- it’s a safe space, a celebration, and a damn good time all rolled into one. ✨

Sunny and Swiss, thank you for making us feel like real locals! Every time we return, you make our experience unforgettable! Best place in Miami if you REALLY want to dance and have fun without the fake impressions I’ll catch the real ones inside and my order is always prosecco ✨ P.S: thank you to everyone that helped my husband understand 1,2,3,4 the latin way

kind staff. even though I wasn’t let in because I didn’t have an ID on me (and you wouldn’t be let in either), it wasn’t like "ID UPFRONT. NOW. NO ID? LEAVE!" like in other places. they spoke politely and that left a good impression. will definitely return here in 4 years when I’m 21.

No food had but sure it would be first class like all the staff serving drinks. This place has pop dance rooms, house, Cuban, trance and hip hop. A large outside area to chill. Really recommend a visit to this club was a bright spot in South Beach to dance and have fun! It gets bust midnight onwards. Security staff are friendly and approachable.

Fun vibe! 5 different areas with different music (including 80s and reggaeton) and it felt like we kept exploring in a maze of fun! Each bar was well decorated, we had a blast and glad we came here instead of typical Miami clubs. No touristy BS - you will get free ice water, no cover
