About Twist

Twist is South Beach's most iconic LGBTQ+ nightlife destination, a two-story mega-club on Washington Avenue that packs seven distinct bars and three dance floors under one roof. Each room offers its own vibe, décor, and soundtrack — from pulsing house music in the Main Room to Latin beats in Bar 5, making it easy to bar-hop all night without ever stepping outside.

Weekly programming keeps things fresh: Sabroso Thursdays bring live percussion and DJ ARSE for a Latin party, Fridays ignite with resident DJ Tony Zuccaro and drag shows by CC Glitzer, and Saturdays reach peak intensity with guest DJs spinning until 5AM. Drag performances are a nightly staple, while the daily 2-for-1 Happy Hour (3–9PM) makes early arrivals a smart move.

True to its tagline — "Never a Cover, Always a Groove" — Twist charges no cover charge any night of the week. Open daily from 3PM to 5AM, it's a must-visit for tourists and a beloved institution for Miami locals alike.

Ages 21 and over only.
