Bar Gaythering

The bar was somewhere that I would like to go again. They have a great selection of specialty drinks. It was very busy but the bartender Franco gave everyone great service with a smile. He was clearly very knowledgable on making drinks as well as fast and efficient.

Visiting from London, it was so nice to find Bar Gathering. The staff are excellent and sooo friendly. Franco was an absolute star and very attentive. I also stayed in the Gathering Hotel which is nice and tidy. I would definitely recommend both the bar and hotel. The bar is my favourite gay bar in all of Miami Beach!

Brian is the best bartender in Miami. Great gay scene. Hot twinks and daddies

I would like to write something about the hotel, the Bar and the sauna. - I was absolutely positively surprised when I was here as my 3rd. stop at my little round trip. - The hotel is clean, creative and comfortably furnished. - The bar is cozy and there are always friendly people. - All employees are exceptionally friendly, competent and attentive. - The prices are all absolutely fair and not as overpriced as other gay hotels nearby. I recommend everyone who wants to feel comfortable to come here and stay at the Hotel have a great Party at the Bar and some fun as the smal Sauna (( which is including as Hotel Guest. Thanks to the staff for your great service!

Franco was so nice! He made delicious drinks and was a great conversationalist!! I loved the music and vibes here and would definitely come back! I would definitely recommend this place to friends visiting south beach!!! Thank you for such a safe and friendly experience!

Love this place! Franco was amazing! Super friendly and welcoming. He really added to the vibe and made us feel right at home. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip. Will come back to The Gaythering next time we are in Miami!!

We had a wonderful stay. Friendly staff, very clean place. Nice room with king size bed, and a small safe. Daily breakfast and an afternoon drink were included, and so was the sauna and jacuzzi. Parking and bicycles available at no charge. This is our second time staying there, and we love it!

Breakfast setup buffet style for hotel guests from 8am until 11am, including some hot items like bacon, egg & cheese sandwiches, mini quiches, warm danishes and tequenos.

Maybe you have to go on weekends but went on a weeknight and was bored to death. Drinks were pretty weak . Bartenders weren't friendly except asking for tips . Nothing going on and patrons weren't friendly. It was one of the saddest gay bar experiences I've ever had .

Love this place! You would be lucky to catch Franco behind the bar! He is the best bartender with the sweetest smile. Looking forward to coming back!

Franco was so sweet to my friends and I! we wanted a chill spot to get drinks and hang out and Gaythering is definitely the place to be. Not too crazy but the music is really good and the vibes are fun. 10/10 would recommend to everyone looking for a chill place in south beach!!

I've been to the Gaythering twice in the last month it's truly a little gem in Miami Beach. It's located close to Lincoln Rd. I went during happy hour and it's such a good deal! Great drinks, friendly service and awesome happy hour prices. The decor is fun! Staff is kind. I came by for a tech happy hour as well and really enjoyed networking with locals. Definitely a cool bar! They have different events throughout the week from trivia to drag bingo. Can't wait to come back soon!

A local gay hotel with a cozy bar open to the public gays. It's on the corner up northwest away from the main touristy area of South Beach. On the weekdays there are more local clientele since the drinks are well made and worth the price especially with their Happy Hour deals daily from 5-7! Margs are fab here!! I came here on a Thursday night to play some bingo and have a more low key night. It's free to play and they do a few rounds with prizes of drinks or shots. Overall, I had a great time at this watering hole and will visit back!

An absolute must do. Gaythering stands out from the rest of the gay bars in Miami because of its laid back, neighborhood bar feel. Bartenders and staff are incredibly friendly. There's a different event every night (their trivia is particularly well done, although you can never go wrong with drag bingo).

Lovely local place And there are so few of them left. Friendly bar person, Franco. Smiling and means it

The G is a great place and one of the best in South Beach. It's friendly, fun and welcoming. Franco, the bartender is incredible - the service couldn't be better :)

I haven't had this much fun in a LONG time as I did on karaoke night on Monday. I was staying in the heart of South Beach, and the craziness was just starting to die down. I should've stayed at this hotel. This bar was more at home to me than anywhere in South Beach. Due to the Covid, all bars back in Los Angeles were closed for over a year, including karaoke bars. This bar was filled with good people, and fun people just looking to have a good time. Last night was like a breath of fresh air. I felt so free! I honestly can't give this place enough stars. The cocktails are also good and pretty reasonable, and the bartenders are very accommodating. I'd move to Miami just for this bar!

Ok was on vacation for a few days sat at the bar after some beach time. There were a few guys at the bar trying to start some conversation was useless. Drinks were good thats about it.

I've come to Bar Gaythering on a few occasions...The first was when I came here for "trivia night" with a whole gaggle of gays, and the second was when my partner and I stopped by for a nightcap when on our way home from seeing a movie at the nearby cinema on Lincoln Rd. Bar Gayhering is in the lobby area of the Hotel Gaythering. It's not huge and behind the bar you'll find a somewhat smallish display of bottles, but this place employs proper mixologists who are good with conversation and make a great drink! There are some stools at the bar, though it's not huge. There are also some barber chairs and tables/chairs elsewhere in the room, and more seating outside, either at the tables/chairs on the deck in front of this hotel, or in laid back, comfy seats down in the gravel areas on the front lawn (bonus: They have a small basket with 3 or 4 cans of "Off" and other bug spray for patrons to use). On the walls of the bar itself you'll find some eclectic artwork and a few screens where they have a scrolling display of humor, risque photos and catty comments. In the lobby area, besides Bar Gaythering, you'll find the check in desk for the hotel, a few couches and a large screen TV, another small bar in the next room (which has never been open when I've been here) and a few tables filled with the fun games that take us back to our childhoods - Connect 4, Hungry Hippos, Rock 'em Sock 'em robots, Jenga and a few others. You'll also find some male-themed, somewhat risque artwork on the walls in this space as well. For us on this night, we simply wanted a few drinks. I had a rum and Coke, my partner a gin and tonic. Both came in large glasses with generous pours, my partner was served Hendrick's gin and the total for 2 drinks was only $22 and change! Later my partner ordered an old fashioned and it was expertly crafted by the mixologist; once he got that, we went out and sat on the patio. The night was cool with a slight breeze..It was pretty perfect to be able to sit out here, sip our drinks, enjoy the breeze and unwind after a long and somewhat hectic day, looking out at the street in front were there is rarely any traffic, and at the bay in the distance.

I'm so happy that I found this charm of lovely Gay my hotel through Southwest Vacation Package. Literally the best Hotel in South Beach Miami. What more could you ask for!! Highly recommend and would stay here again and again!!

I've been meaning to check out this bar for a couple years now. It being separated from the rest on the gay venues on South Beach is a bummer but there's a lot of bike stations nearby this making it a quick 5 min bike ride. The staff are very attentive and the atmosphere is very welcoming. Happy hour is very well priced especially for Miami and the drinks were done well. They have different events during the week which is great to bring in the crowd but some of these events would be fun to be seen on the weekends too. Overall will be back again especially after COVID.

Monday Karaoke hosted by the illustrious Karla Croqueta herself is not to be missed. Make certain to arrive early if you wish to have seating or sing a song, as this exciting, thriving evening gets very busy early (for good reason). The singers are all animated, enthusiastic, & the crowd is happy to give raucous applause to the standouts. Karla Croqueta herself is a wonderful host, working the crowd in harmony with the performers' song choices, offering racy humor, & singing beautifully herself.

The Gaythering is a go to spot in Miami Beach right by Lincoln Road. You'll find the best drink prices, and it's even better during happy hour! The bar have events throughout the week like trivia nights and drag race watch parties. I don't go to Miami Beach without stopping at the Gaythering!

I was in town a few weeks ago to get some sun and warm up for a few days. I was told by a friend to check this place out while I was around. It was a nice, quiet space, where it seems a lot of locals go. Its in one of those hotels that seem to be popping up all over south beach, revived old buildings turned into boutique hotels. This one however is gay oriented. Everyone was very friendly, but it was a rather slow night during the week. Still it was a nice space to have a good cocktail and not just grab a vodka soda while music is blaring. I would recommend this place for meeting up with a date for drinks, friends for a conversation, or just to relax and enjoy your surroundings.

My boyfriend booked 2 nights in a crate and then we stayed 9 more nights in a king suite. It was a truly unique and wonderful experience that we both fully enjoyed. All of the staff were amazing, and special shout out to CC Glitzer, south beach's #1 lady. Everything here is great and never disappointed. What are you waiting for...? Book it!!

The Hotel Gaythering is a cleverly-curated straight-friendly gay hotel. Where else could one be housed in a four star bathhouse-style room (called a "crate")? I wouldn't recommend a crate if you value privacy. The bar is a blast: people are conversing, laughing, flirting without swiping right. It's a neighborhood place with a gay "Cheers" kind of ambiance. The staff are all genuinely nice people. Kudos to whomever the creative genius is who stylized this place. On the downside the crate area smelled to high heaven one day. Really putrid. I asked to be relocated or I was leaving. The management accommodated me after some give-and-take. However they up-charged me for the larger room. I didn't feel like squabbling over the price at that point. However they should have not made me pay more because of an untenable situation over which I had no control. My recommendation is to stop by and enjoy the bar- but stay elsewhere.

After getting bad attitudes left and right in South Beach- The Gaythering was my oasis. I'm a straight woman who came here with 3 straight male friends- and we all remarked how much more comfortable we felt there than any where else we had been in Miami. The staff is beyond friendly, the drinks were on point, and the ambiance is pure fun. I can't recommend this bar enough! Special shout out to Alex (I think that was his name) for making me hot toddies. He was so kind to us, and really made the night special.

What, how can I be the first to review this totally cool place?! Came here on a Friday night, late night. It was a totally convivial atmosphere. We were a group of straight guys and gals, and while the rest of the patrons were gay, we did not feel out of place or unwelcomed at all. The interior is clean and sparkling new, with quirky elements, like a metal medical style chair, and a vending machine containing odd products. Only shots were ordered and they were pricey, but the bartender warned us of the cost before pouring. The smokers section outside was a party unto itself. Don't miss it!

Gran experiencia ! Muy recomendable para disfrutar de varias maneras . El personal es muy atento y servicial. Divertida y completa opción gay.

Amazing hotel and service ... the room is big and comfortable... we had a blast there

Bartender was not interested in being personal or friendly- horrible AF. Gave a $50 tip on a $55 bill to teach her to be nice or get out of the service industry. Manager will be notified

In a post-recession Miami Beach where most gay bars couldn't afford their rent and had to shut down, Bar Gaythering is a welcomed addition to the slowly dying gay scene here and totally straight friendly and inclusive. The bar is refreshingly different than most bars in Miami and also most gay bars. The vibe is industrial, old-timey casual cocktail club, much like what you would find in Brooklyn or San Francisco. There is nothing here that fits the tired gay bar stereotype....its well lit, the bartenders are dressed in everyday clothing, it's not cruisey and drinks are served in real and appropriate glassware. Crowd is totally diverse, which is also a bonus. For me, my main reason for going out is to have a well made drink (why pay $12 for a drink you can make at home?). Bar Gaythering has well trained bartenders who know how to actually make cocktails and their selection of whiskeys (and probably other spirits) is interesting and somewhat obscure (I found a new favorite Rye here from Traverse City, MI!) The cocktails on the menu are on the sweet side, so definitely ask the bartender before ordering if that is not your thing. They have a lot of special theme nights here, including a really fun trivia night, crafts night, happy hours, etc. Service overall has been friendly and accommodating. One negative of Gaythering is that since its more of an intimate space, it can get jam packed quickly and be loud. With so many hard surfaces in there (pun intended) the sound can be too much to have a conversation at times. There is a separate room towards the back and a very chill outside if you need a break from the noise.

I visited Gaythering for my friend's citizenship party and we had a great time at the bar. We're all straight but, for the most part, it felt like any other type of bar. The atmosphere was upbeat but not so loud you couldn't have a conversation. The crowd was a good size and the the people were friendly (this might seem obvious for a bar but South Beach sometimes gets a bad name for uptight people). The decor had a NYC bar feel which I like since its not very common in South Florida. It was clean and well taken care of. Overall, its a great spot to grab a drink.

I had a wonderful time playing trivia last night at the bar! Met a great bunch of people And felt very welcome! Zach the bartender is very attentive and remembered me from last year! Richard also was so sweet and kept filling up my ice glass without complaint. I thought it was wonderful how they kept clearing off the table with empty glasses and it overall was a wonderful time!

After learning of this new hotel and its bar from friends, we decided to finally check it out this weekend. The outside of the hotel is interesting. It's an open area with a bunch of tables - Lots of people were outside talking and having a good time when we arrived. Inside the bar, I think they've done a great job with the space. Cool decor, enough space to sit and drink at a table, or be at the bar and chat. The drinks were cheap, which is impossible to find in South Beach. And, they were strong :) A major plus. It's a great place to get a drink or a few before going out, and it seemed like a really social atmosphere if you were just going there to meet friends / dates whatever.

Amazing locally owned gay bar that me and my husband frequent with friends about once a month. Great music, awesome people, fun atmosphere, and just a place you can feel great about giving your money to as they do a lot in the community.

A very lively bar although not recommended if you are coming on your own as the place seems to be mainly geared towards locals who are in groups ( try Ocean Drive ). Nonetheless we had a nice evening here - staying in the hotel helped of course - not far to go to get to sleep!

What a great place to spend a Thursday night! Great drinks (if you like spicy stuff go for the Gordon Ginger), popcorn, live music (the girl was so good!), and a super bartender (Robbie makes you feel special!)... After a stressful day this made my day!

We sincerely enjoy having a place like this in the neighborhood. The staff, decor and location are wonderful. Hanging out for a drink or socializing with a mix of neighbors and visitors staying at the hotel is ideal. The community programming offered throughout the week and the smart use of the library section are my favorite features, it shows a deep commitment to community. I recommend stopping by for locals and visiting tourists alike.

This may be one of my favorite gay bars... Or straight bars! It's just a great place to have a drink and meet people! My boyfriend and I were visiting and were recommended by some local friends to try it out. I loved it! Dark and fun. Like a joke about dead babies. We came back with our friends several nights later, still had a blast, laughing, interacting, drinking... Etc. Will for sure be back when we're in Miami again. Much more relaxed and laid back than Ocean Dr, but still with some hotties. ;)

Love love love this place. It's a very clean and fun atmosphere. Very modern and the staff is very friendly. Not too bad on prices either. Totally worth a visit.

Found the bar via Yelp and decided to check it out. Great staff who are friendly and personable. A recommended spot in Miami!!

Just awesome. One of the beaches hidden gems. The drinks are awesome, the prices are very reasonable and the service is great. Friendly smiles all around and the happy hour is amazing!

Great atmosphere, but the slowest bartenders in the history of a mixed drink. Albeit, the drinks are well mixed, but there is no acknowledgement from the bartenders. We have literally waited 25 minutes just to put a drink order in. Unacceptable.

A great neighborhood bar... It's nice to finally have a gay bar that is open to everyone in the neighborhood ... Straight or gay! Open every night... Always friendly... Just kinky enough... And they have a great no-frills spa. It's become a local hang out.

Love the atmosphere and service. It has different drink specials everyday of the week. They have board games night and trivia night. It is quiet and they give out complementary popcorn at the bar.

I love this place so much I live in the neighborhood and go all the time. They have such an amazing happy hour and honest staff I always recommend friends and family to stay or visit.
