Since 1993, Twist has been the anchor of South Beach’s LGBTQ+ nightlife, and its reputation reaches far beyond Miami. Seven bars and three dance floors spread across two floors of Washington Avenue, with a different vibe in every room: top 40, house, electronica, and whatever the DJ decides. The motto “Never a Cover, Always a Groove” is backed by a 7-nights-a-week commitment that runs until 5 AM, and the drag shows and nightly entertainment push it beyond standard nightclub territory into genuine cultural institution. Locals drink alongside international visitors, making it simultaneously a neighborhood bar and one of the most famous gay clubs in the world. If you’re in South Beach, this is your late night.
