A sinking ship

This place used to be "the place" to hang out, a varied crowd, reasonable priced drinks, friendly bartenders. I live in Miami and was here with some out of townees friends this past weekend after many years of not going here. Boy, the place is starting to look run down, the crowd tend to be 50+ year olds pretending to be 21(Guys, tight A&F clothes look just stupid on anyone past 30!), lots of posers, attitude queens. The music is very loud and video screens every 2 feet!!! The staff appear tired and indifferent, food overprices and drinks not as good as they used to be. I think they need new management to freshen up the place.

Avoid it or you will get ripped off!

I live in South Florida and absolutely do not recommend this place to any out of townees. This place is nothing more than a cover up for a hustler bar and a bad one at that too. The problem #1 is the dancers aka hustlers, thieves, thugs. These guys are mostly straight, behave like they don't want to be there, they look at patrons in disgust and are very obvious that they are there to get your money period. These guys can become very aggressive with demands for tips and lap dances or "whatever else." Avoid lap dance with these guys at all costs because there is no set price for lap dances and they make up their own prices. They don't tell you the prices up front and change them afterwords and become aggressive if you refuse to pay the made up amount. If you decide to go, just stand back and watch these guys walking around the bar like sharks measuring up their prey! Warning, if you are an older gentleman or have "silver/grey" hair, they will go after you like bees to honey. Also this place is very very smoky with poor ventialtion. You have been warned!

Definitely the place to go in Sobe!

If you are a snobby, designer obsessed, "I am better than you" type, you will not go to Twist. Twist is a 'everyone" type club where any type of gay person can go and have a great time. This is not a poser bar at all!!!! Yes, it can be sleazy, edgy, insane but it is loads of fun. That is the "charm" of Twist. Great music and some of the hunkiest male go-go dancers anywhere period dance there. As in almost all Sobe clubs, the party doesn't start until after midnight...then it gets packed. The notorious dark dance floor has more light now due to past incidents of pickpocketing and yes, the infamous, free-for-all sex on the dancer floor "incidents."( I will never tell!!!!) Even us locals love this place, no attitude, no cover charge, reasonably priced drinks, lots of fun and maybe you will have a story to tell later too...wink...wink!!!!

Drink somewhere else then come here!

I live in Miami and this is one of the most popular bars in South Beach , mainly because of its location in the middle of Lincoln road. As mentioned in earlier posts, the drinks are obscenely expensive and served on little plastic cups and mostly full of ice on some drinks. Some drinks are poorly made too. If you pay by credit card, there is a $30.00 minimum for drinks. Score seems to have frequent bartender and waiter turnover with some of the newer staff being cold, totally indifferent, rude and rather aggressive about tips. Typical of South Beach, the gay men that go to this club when it opens as a club/disco later in the evening, tend to be the stereotypical "beach queen" with arrogance and attitude up the ass and not friendly at all (unless you look like Ricky Martin or are rolling in dough LOL!). The music is good though and it gets packed too! If you go, drink somewhere else then go!
