R House is a fab spot for a delicious meal of American, Mediterranean, Asian and Latin dishes but the fun certainly doesn’t stop there. It was created by chef Rocco Carulli and his husband Owen Bale as a place for enjoying food, art and music all in one spot - we love it!

They’re open from 9pm until 2am every night except Saturday, when they stay open until 5am the next morning.įor something a little bit different, head to Miami’s hipster Wynwood Arts District which is filled with cool street art and home to the funky gay-owned R House. WaterLOO is located at 1216 Washington Avenue in Miami Beach, just two blocks away from Twist.

Just keep it classy (and in your pants) ladies! On Tuesdays there’s karaoke with drag queen Tiffany Fantasia and they also host regular Ru Paul’s Drag Race viewing parties so do NOT sashay away… Let’s not forget all the hot topless Go-Go dancers, bartenders and DJs that you can ogle. This doesn’t mean you can’t have fun though, as WaterLOO is kind of like a lounge where you can also dance and have fun. Make sure you hold your pinkie finger out while drinking that cocktail daaarling! It’s a different vibe than some places, with a rather classy feel, especially since they call themselves a “discotheque” rather than a bar or club. “Waterloo, I was defeated, you won the war…” oh sorry, we got distracted! And while WaterLOO in Miami might not be blasting out ABBA hits (they missed a trick there when naming it), it’s still one of our favourite gay bars in the whole city.

Twist is open every day from 1pm until 5am. The overall vibe and crowd at Twist is young, fun and fiiiiine! It’s located at 1057 Washington Avenue on Miami Beach, next door to the 11th Street Diner featured in Will Smith’s “Miami” music video.

On Sundays there’s an underwear contest at midnight, there’s comedy drag on Wednesdays plus top DJs and the HOT gaiety dancers every night for your viewing pleasure…need we go on? There are both indoor and outdoor areas to relax as well, so visiting Twist is almost like spending time at a miniature gay town! Best of all, it’s open 7 days a week with exciting events pretty much every night of the week as well. Twist is also huge, with three different dance floors and seven bars spread out over a two-storey building. That means you never need to pay a cover charge to get in and enjoy your night - now that is a marketing campaign we can get behind! Twist is without a doubt one of the best gay places in Miami and you definitely don’t need to twist our arms to visit it again, get it?! Twist is the longest-running gay bar/club in Miami, founded in 1993 and with the slogan “Never a cover - always a groove”. These are our personal favourite gay bars and clubs in Miami where we always have a good time:

Whether it’s for a chilled drink with some friends or a night of dancing and debauchery until the wee hours, there is something for everyone in Miami’s gay scene. Out of our many trips back to the gay scene of Miami there are a few places that we return to again and again. Miami is home to one of the largest LGBTQ communities in the world and attracts more than a million gay visitors each year - now that’s a lot of queer eyes, baby!
