Beaches Tropicana is a vibrant, beach-themed gay bar in West Hollywood that delivers boozy slushies, lively drag brunches, and a fun, unpretentious vibe.
"Who doesn’t want to drink in a bar named after a Bette Midler movie that deals with the crippling effects of viral cardiomyopathy? With a heavy Miami-in-the-80s aesthetic, this two-story bar actually does promise plenty of fun things, like bottomless brunch specials, alcoholic slushies, and various TV show viewing parties during the week. Deal: $20 bottomless mimosas or spicy Bloody Marys. 2-hour limit. " - brant cox, nikko duren
"Who doesn’t want to drink in a bar named after a Bette Midler movie that deals with the crippling effects of viral cardiomyopathy? This beach-themed bar does, in fact, offer some fun beachy things, like a solid Happy Hour, alcoholic slushies, and drag brunch lip sync battles. But ultimately there’s not much separating Beaches from other generic bars on the block. If you stumble in here on the way to somewhere else, you’ll be fine, but no one comes to Weho just for Beaches." - brant cox

"This beach-themed gay bar is an absolutely sh*tshow at virtually every time of day, and all the better for it. But if you’re there for their pre-game Happy Hour, at least you’re there before things hit late-night levels of sloppy. The Deal: Half-off frozen cocktails, $25 margarita pitchers, $5 well drinks, $10 boilermakers, $7 food deals. When: Daily 4-8pm, Mondays 4pm-12am." - brett keating
"This (you guessed it) beach-themed gay bar does a rowdy weekend brunch with bottomless mimosas and Bloody Marys, rosé kits, and frozen cocktails. Yes, they do serve food like omelettes and breakfast wraps, but you’re here because the drinks are strong and the boy who keeps looking at you is cute. Their expanded front sidewalk patio allows you plenty of room to experience all that." - brant cox
