Best LGBTQ and Gay Bars in Houston, Texas | Eater Houston

"South Beach is one of Houston’s largest, flashiest, and coolest (literally) LGBTQ clubs. It originally opened in 2001, but came back ready to party after a massive renovation with karaoke, happy hour trivia, and plenty of drink specials. Prepared to unleash on the 10,000-square-foot dance floor? Expect go-go dancers, laser shows, and ice jets spraying cold fog on the sweaty crowd, creating one of Houston’s most unique club atmospheres. If you need a quiet moment to recuperate, take your drinks to the outdoor covered patio." - Lane Gillespie

The 8 Best LGBTQ+ Bars In Houston

"South Beach has everything you need to party: a lot of lasers, a massive dance floor, and some kind of magical AC ice jet that cools the room instantaneously. They also have a standard bar back and stocked well drinks, if you need that, too. And, considering how hot it gets in Houston, the club is also kind enough to let you in wearing nothing but (hopefully stylish) underwear—a rule a fair number of folks seem to abide by. Come here on Millennial Fridays to be amongst your people, for a special drag event (Drag Race something-something), or to do what everyone at a nightclub should be doing: dancing." - chelsea thomas, gianni greene

Hands down…the best…gay club in Houston..I’d even go as far as saying best club PERIOD in Houston!!!!! From the moment we walked in, it was a great time. You’re stamped when you enter so you are able to leave and return to grab a bite, something from your car, get some air or meet your friends outside. DJ Joe Ross played amazing music all night long!!! Display screens were huge, fog lamps were going all night and light show was *chef’s kiss*. Let’s not forget the 2 seperate bars, outdoor lounge and gorgeous Go Go dancers….oooooo it was steaming up in there!!! Speaking of steam, we danced for hours straight and although we were sweating it was very comfortable inside. We were cool but not freezing cold, which can happen when the AC is too low. Friendly and helpful staff throughout the entire night. Clean bathrooms and private booths if you’d like to reserve them for your party. Excellent! So proud to have a club like this in my town.

Normally a super fun spot. But $5 cover on a Thursday with NO ONE here is ridiculous.

Great night club! Free entry. Drinks were fair price. Bought 2 Vodka sodas for about $10.00 each and a bottle of water for about $4.00. The whole place is large and spacious. It is very clean. There are lasers and lights that go along with the music to make the scenery more live! Bartenders were very kind and helpful. The music was mostly house/electronic with some classic remixes. Dance floor was a bit empty initially, but definitely starts to get packed around 11:30 to 12:00. Will likely come here again in the future! Parking outside is relatively easy for a $10 fee. Along with the parking, we were also given a coupon for a free drink at a nearby bar that I redeemed prior to entering.

Asked for a cup of water at last call. Over the next 5 minutes an extremely rude bartender said to me: “Are you from another country? Do you speak English? Do you speak any Spanish? Is English your first language? Then asked me again. With MANNERS.” I’m extremely confused at this point because all I’m asking for is some water before I pass out on their floor and can’t understand why he’s asking me this so I say huh?? And he says again “ask me with MANNERS. MANNERS.” ??? it’s 100+ dB in here and I could hardly hear from the start and had asked (shouted, because loud) “hi can I get a cup of water?” I’m thinking this man can’t hear me and repeat “water?” then he starts with his 20 questions In a loud environment communication needs to be loud clear and concise. I’m not sure what this bartenders problem was, but the interaction came across as racist, misogynistic, and just plain condescending. Never even got the water. I will not be going here again. Avoid unless being disrespected and talked down to is your thing.

This was my first HTX Night club experience. I went with a friend to go enjoy some GREAT dance music and Amazing lazer light show. The vibes was a positive, fun, party type atmosphere. I never felt unsafe. My bartender was never rude. He was friendly, laughed with us and gave good service. I can definitely see myself going back again.

Nick was so kind and attentive! He was such a personable bartender and genuinely made us feel at home. If you need a PHENOMENAL bartender, Nick is your guy!! Much love from Kaitlyn, Grace and Ivan!!❤️

Always a fun vibe every weekend! Had to give a quick shoutout to Dan, the manager at Sobe. From the moment we walked in, he made us feel super welcomed and taken care of. You can tell he genuinely cares about the guests and goes out of his way to make sure everyone’s having a great time. You can tell that Dan has that EXCELLENT hospitality experience. Dan’s energy and attention is always the main reason why we go back!

I came to South Beach few times. It has decent clientele and great sound and sight at the dance floor. Service was kind of weird to me. But overall, I had a good time.

I have not been to the club scene for a long while until recently. I only came here because my out-of-town friend visiting. I couldn't believe that was my first time step into South Beach Club (SoBe) since I moved to Houston almost 2 decades ago. Every time I came to SoBe, I got turned away by the long line wrapped around the parking lot before midnight. That's when I normally get off work. But this time, we stopped by on Saturdays. We came super early, like 9:30 pm. Yeah. We got our free pass. Normally, it's $10 cover charge, which isn't bad because there is a huge dance floor with high tech lighting system and sounds system. It was totally worth every penny. Because we love to dance. We adore the music to our liking, more like in the 90's oldies. Yeah, we are older than most people on the dance floor. Thank goodness they didn't kick us out. I remember one night there was a huge group of young Asian guys came in around 10 pm. There were also many birthday celebrations around the seating area. Boy, I would love to sit on a cozy chair after dancing my ass off. Looks like they have some kind of VIP access. There were also girls and straight couples on the dance floor and around the lounge area. Oh, there is a cool patio on the side. Restroom was clean. Looks like there was some kind of upgrades at the club. Yeah. I would definitely return.

South Beach was one of the first clubs I've been to in Houston and has been a place I've been returning to with my new friends here in town. If I were to choose a night of the weekend to go, Saturday is the best day because Fridays are pretty dead (unless you like a more empty club so you have room to dance around). There is a cover, which they do take credit card! The music they mostly play is circuit type. I kind of wish they played more Pop/HipHop/Top100 music that everyone can twerk to or drop it low. Like switch it up on the playlist! It doesn't have to be circuit type music all night. I'm sure everyone would appreciate it! Getting service at the bar can be a bit rough. Some of the bartenders are organized and go in order from right to left or vice versa. Others can be a bit slow, inattentive or disorganized. Obviously, I really do appreciate the bartenders that try to have a flow, so that everyone is served appropriately.

I was kicked out on my birthday because the door guy was a dick. I was not drunk or acting out of character. I will continue to report until he is gone. I paid to get in and told the staff he was an asshole as I was kicked out. I will leave reviews and do what I need to do until it is resolved. He ruined my b day

Fun! Classic gay club with the latest house mixes. Dance floor gets super crowded, but the vibes are usually pretty good. Very nice and modern esthetic. Valet parking staff are usually pretty quick. The bathrooms however smell like sea world....

The bouncer was rude to one of the guests in our party. We asked for a refund because they waited until we had paid all of our covers. The manager was nice and understanding.

Looking for a great gay club? This is it. The space is large, the bars are plenty, the music's bumpin, the people are fun and friendly. There's a lot of male eye candy for anyone who's interested, and periodic drag performers. We had a fun time dancing ourselves silly. But who's the only 37 year old girl that gets hit on by a 28 year old straight guy at a gay bar? This girl. Awkward!! Parking can be a PAIN around the area, but they do have $7 valet :P

South Beach epitomizes "gay dance club." You've got: multiple levels, a laser light show, black lights, free glow in the dark necklaces, hot oiled-up bods in tighty whities and sneakers dancing on blocks, cutie bartenders (some straight), insanely loud music with DJs from across the country ... and restroom signs that say, "one person per stall." Holla. I've never been to South Beach in Florida, but I can only assume this club is as wild as the town gets. The last time I came here with my (straight) friend Tony, it was because his cousin (also straight) was working the bar, and I'm not one to deny free drinks--they just taste better. It was Thursday's Noche Latina Uncut, and a DJ from Miami was brought into town (The music was so good, I later snagged a cd from him.) After a few shots of "Sex on the South Beach," we made way to the packed dance floor where there was every type of person: gays, straights, transvestites, the "confused," thugs, hipsters, body builders, ladies and more. When things got too hot, South Beach unleashes the Liquid Ice Jets which instantly drop the temp 20 degrees; you literally can't see the person in front--or behind--you when that happens, so watch out! I happened to find myself dancing with a French male flight attendant from Canada (not kidding) who claimed to be gay, but after a few sneaked in feelskies, I realized this wasn't true--that or he was just messing with me. Biting my bum was the last straw and I quickly turned to him, pointed my finger and scolded: "No! You are not gay!" and stormed off. Ahh, anything can happen at South Beach. Besides the way I've seen management treat their staff, my only complaint is that they almost always have a cover, ranging from $10-$20. For a gal who can certainly ring up a bar tab, I'm not a fan of covers. However, they're open super late night (think 5am), so they gotta make their extra dough somehow. For those who are wondering, the dress code allows "anything from underwear and up," so enjoy the sea of eye candy.

So I'm gay and 20 and the first thing I did when I moved to Houston was look for the best gay bars/clubs to go to (ones that allow people under 21, of course) and the very first thing that popped up in all the search engines was South Beach. And whenever I would ask pretty much anyone I met in Houston where I should go if I wanna dance, they would say "have you gone to South Beach?". It's a place for everyone! It's not just a gay club. It's an experience. It's definitely an experience and of course it made me want to go there when I found out there was no cover on Friday nights (I basically go there every Friday night). The music ranges from "oh my god i love this song!" to "is this even music?" but the music is constantly upbeat and I generally don't stop dancing until I'm told to leave. I've met some pretty awesome people there it never fails to put me in a good mood. I'm told drinks are cheap and get you where you want to be. They even have a patio where you can cool off and talk to all the other people. It is as good as it gets when it comes to dancing. They even have a like dry ice or smoke or something that comes down from the ceiling. It comes down for minutes at a time and you can't even your own hand in front of your face. But I loved every second of it and I can't stay away! Enjoy! ^_^

Overall, I had a good time cause I was with good company. However, I'm so SICK of techno!! Geeez! Mix it up in there please! Mix in some R&B n Hip Hop.. Just so damn tired of hearing the same beat ALL night long. Hence, my 3 Star rating. Valet was nice and fast! Our Bartender was awesome! BTW-Ladies, this is a meat factory so move on to the next establishment if you are trying to find your boo!

So for many years, when I used to eat near by at the late night eateries, I would wonder what was at South Beach? From the outside it looks so glamorous and they always had the spot lights drawing attention. Well I finally got a chance to come here. My fiancee and her friends after a night of bar hopping, wanted to continue dancing! So they all threw out South Beach. I had never attended so was completely open to the idea. There was a cover charge! I guess after hours has their rules. When inside it's not as amazing as I had hoped it to be outside. There is a small main dance floor with platform boxes all around. I was pretty wasted at this point so I decided to hop onto on of the boxes and started dancing. Unlike other clubs I was not kindly asked to get off, but instead cheered on! It was awesome! I had a great time as you could do whatever you wanted.

Horrible customer service, the cashier at the front acts like she has to be a goblin or something. Went here after pride with some friends and they wanted to charge $20 cover and wouldn't even let you peek inside to see if it was worth it. Horrible music, horrible DJ, just a bad overall experience. F bar is WAY better if you need a gay bar. 100%.

3.5 stars I was really surprised by how nice this spot was... Guests are welcomed into a chic lounge setting with nice sofas and tables with dim lighting. Unlike most places I've been to, these areas are actually available to the public and don't require a reservation or bottle service. The dance floor is big and there's enough room for a ton of people to be in the area. The crowd was alright and the music was jus okay, but I liked all the room the place had...it never felt cramped.

This nightclub is great! It's not a megaclub with 2 stories or anything like that, but it is definitely very trendy and very popular in Houston. Go-go boys, laser lights, cool fog shot, ice bar, small lounge, sleek and modern -- SoBe style. Music is good and loud. DJs usually make a stop here when they're touring. Popular with gays since this is Montrose. And SoBe is one of their mecca. Because it is Texas, last call is 1 am. But they close the club at 5 in the morning. There are plenty of 24 hours establishments to eat afterwards nearby. Plenty of streetside parking. The later you come, the farther you'll have to park. You may have to park on the other side of Montrose Blvd. Free admission between 10:30 and 11 on Fridays and Saturdays. Saturdays are 18 and up. Come early cuz the lines tend to be long sometimes.

It's Saturday night at mid night and a drag show with Jujubee is supposed to be on but no one is here. Super slow plus they charge $15 to enter : we left at 01:35 and Jujubee never showed up. We left tired of waiting ( boo but not the good Halloween boo ... :(

I had a complete blast when I came here with friends, mostly because I go to dance clubs to shake my ass to dance music, not Top 40. For that I can just turn on a radio and dance around in my house. Music was great - drinks were pretty strong, but pricey (it may have been after happy hour, which is completely fine) - the liquid ice system was beyond amazing, a nice refreshing cooling sensation, especially when you've been shaking your groove thing all night. Not sure if DJ Skinner is still around but he played an awesome array of cutting edge dance music that evening. The sound system in that place is pretty kick-ass! The clientele can be a bit snobby but don't pay attention to those queeny prima donnas, they primarily stick to themselves and leave the cool people alone. You'll also come across a few clubbers who are, umm... under the influence of drugs? But they mostly mind their own business. The dancers were a nice touch! Would definitely come back if I'm ever in the Houston area.

I'm under 21 so my experience is probably very limited. But I love South Beach, they host all my favorite drag queens and the music is great. The DJ knows what he's doing and its nonstop dancing for me. Although I am a club kid, the speakers here are insane. At some point my head started to hurt and my ears felt like they were going to explode. But I didn't notice it as much on the dance floor, so it wasn't that big of a deal. Waters are $1.75 for a cup and $3 for a bottle, which isn't that bad since I didn't even pay a cover (make sure you have your text and come before 10!). Although it's not perfect, I'm definitely making this my number 1 club spot for the summer

Went on a Sunday night around 11:30pm, cover was $5. We told the cashier we were a bachelorette group and the bride got in for free. The place is huge. Three bars, two sets of bathrooms and the dance floor was good size, the fog does get frigid, can see the use when the floor is packed with dancers. I like the go go boxes, were definitely used by the boys. Only one set of bathrooms were open and that one was near the dance floor. I went into the women's room and thought I was in the wrong one at first since guys were coming out of the stalls...and not alone. The bathroom floors are wet with lord knows what, don't put anything down. Sunday is Drag queen night, so a show is put on, came out as Tina Turner, JLo, etc and you give them money. Too fun. Place wasn't crowded at all on a Sunday night. There is a body builder in briefs dancing on stage near another bar, us girls kept feeding him dollar bills. Parking is heinous, I lucked out with street parking, their lot fills up quickly because there are other gay clubs and bars on the same street. There was a little drama with one guy, he seemed to be having a little hissy fit and threw a stool at some dancers on the gogo boxes...a little jealous tete a tete?....hmmmmm Same sort of drama in straight clubs!

Had a wonderful time all the times I went. Only issue I have is the lady at the front door is extremely rude and unprofessional. There is absolutely not excuse to be that rude. Y'all should think about getting a new lady at the door because she's going to piss of the wrong person one day. Other than that I had a wonderful time each time I went. But seriously though either talk to that lady or get someone new. Zero excuse for her awful rude attitude. You treat your customers with respect.

This has basically been the place that I spent most of my twenties. It was the place I use to celebrate my birthdays at and it was always a crazy time. Granted this was during the time that they use to have time minors fill out the forms outside on a foldable table. Im kind of showing my age by saying that. The craziest place to be during halloween is outside this place. They brings me to my next point. I really enjoy all the events that this place puts together especially when people for RuPauls Drag Race comes along. Hear comes the old man talk, the events usually go out until 2am and also this place is an after hours place so if staying out until 4am is your thing then by all means go for it.

I was there last night for their foam party, first if all they charge you 15$ cover which is ridiculous and then my friend and I ordered a drink each, they served us alcohol on those mini fancy plastic cups they serve at weddings and they claimed to be selling them for 5.25$ each; we said fine though it was a freaking steal and this morning i checked my bank account and they charged me 10$. I told my friend to check hers and same thing. I have been here before but this is outrageous, i wonder what they do to your credit card info when you're not looking. Very disappointed

Nice club. I like the back patio seating area. It's great place to chat with your friends. And the shows are good. Takes too long in my opinion to get a drink, but that's pretty normal around Houston.

So, I'll start with this: I love the drag shows, here. Well organized, but not a bar that I would go to, on a regular night. It is nothing but underage twinks, dancing and looking. It is a club scene, and has all of the typical club issues. It also could use a lil updating, but I'm sure the owner can't afford to, right now, with Meteor and Mining Company closed. It's pretty much their cash cow, right now. But, if you are looking to dance, and are over 21, I suggest Eagle.

South Beach just isn't what it used to be. This used to be the Dance club everyone wanted to be at on Friday and Saturday nights. Nobody comes here anymore! I came with a couple of friends on Saturday and the place was just empty. There may have been about 8 people on the dance floor. The employees at the front where you pay a cover can be very rude. It's a shame because it's such a nice venue.

I've been here more times than I can count over the years. Definitely the best dance club in Houston, regardless of whether you're gay or straight. It's a younger (like 18-30 years old) gay crowd that's predominantly male. I've brought a mixture of friends, both gay and straight, who always have a good time. Good place to mingle with strangers as well. No need to be shy here. Saturdays are the best nights to come. The DJ that spins on saturdays never fails to get people up and dancing. You won't find hip hop music here-- it's almost strictly electro-house/remixes of Top 40 songs. My favorite in a club environment. Free cover before 11pm, usually with a text message that is sent out by them. I advise that you should be in line no later than 10:15pm if possible because the line gets pretty long. Parking in the area kind of sucks if you don't get there early enough. There's plenty of 5 dollar parking lots around the club. If you're under 21, be prepared to fill out a short consent form upon entering the club. Upon entering, it's dimly lighted with lounge couches and a bar. Walk around and you'll find access to the outdoor patio and the dance floor/numerous other bars in the club. There's a huge dance floor with plenty of laser lights and huge speaker boxes you can climb up on and dance on (it's best when the club is packed!). Periodically when the club is packed, they will activate the laser nitrogen jets that feel amazing. It's like being blasted with 50 degree air. Be prepared though-- it's really loud. Peak hours are midnight-2am. Plenty of people, plenty of drinks, plenty of good times. When the dance floor is packed, it's seriously the best. Decently priced drinks throughout the night that are strong. Staff is pretty strict about underage drinking, so don't try that here if you are underage. There is always staff walking around and checking. If you get caught, you get thrown out. In the end, highly recommended.

So this is a review written by a straight woman, for straight women. This club is one of the biggest, miami-club-scene-like clubs here in Houston. Lots of space to hang out, no issues with creepy guys hitting on you, and lots and lots of people-watching. LOTS. I could have just sat in a chair all night and been perfectly content because there was so much to see. The problem here was all about the music. All house music with the DJ trying to mix up slow, depressing Adele songs into dance-able beats? I don't think so. The only people that were actually dancing were people that looked like they were high on *******, ****** & ******** Change the DJ and they could definitly have one of the hottest places in Houston

After dining in the area at Sorento's, my posse wanted to dance thanks to some great wine with dinner. Yelp recommended this club, so using the great verbal Yelp driving directions, we found ourselves in gay bar heaven. That being said, we weren't the only straight couples there, and were made very welcome. Only ten dollar cover was reasonable as were the drink prices. The decor was nice, the tunes hot, the lights and effects fun. I especially enjoyed the male dancers along one wall! There aren't any great dance clubs for straight people left in the Houston area, so we will definitely be back! Maybe I'll check out the Tuesday jello-wrestling night. Ya baby!

I'm no longer the Mayor of South Beach on Foursquare. I'm okay with that, actually (and happy to pass along the title). What I'm NOT okay with is the fact that I can't seem to get drunk drinking Ketel One here. It makes me wonder if they're adding water to the top shelf bottles instead of buying new ones to replace the empties. I swear I'm not the type to be a conspiracy theorist. I just can't help but to think that there's something wrong with this situation. I mean, any other time (or place for that matter) I'd be shit faced and louder than hell after having 3 singles and 2 doubles over the course of 3 hours. Hmm...

South Beach is bright, loud, and unashamed. Just what you want in a bar that is all about dancing and drinking. I admit, it takes me a few drinks before I can get out on the dance floor and shake it like I just don't care. Honestly, before the drinks I do care - entirely too much for a place like South Beach. Everyone is here to have fun and inhibitions should be checked at the door. Apparently, it takes more drinks than I consumed to tip the dancers though. I got close but then just shoved my money in the hand of another friend and quickly disappeared in the sea of bodies gyrating to the pounding music. You'd think I'd never been too far from the suburbs with the way I bolted from the guy dancing near the water wall feature. Later that dancer found me and talked with me a little. No matter how crowded it is, there's no way to hide in a dark corner. South Beach is meant for fun, for dancing and for looking fabulous. This club is all shiny and bright - certainly a place for seeing and being seen.

If you've been to Kiss and Fly in Austin, this club may be bigger with better equipments but it pales in comparison in term of music. Last night we've been there around 10:30 to get in with no cover and that was swell. Everyone came in, bought $3 shots over and over. They played only 5-6 Top 40s' at most so early when no one was dancing yet. Most of the night consist of ONLY House. It was so sad. This is a gay club not even one Lady GaGa song played that night. Most of the people just stood around and it's like the DJ couldn't even feel the crowd. The only dance-able beat were the up ones but the DJ insisted on playing a lot of the slow beat ones. Fail. Of course it could've been that night in particular. I could only remember ONE night where it was Top 40 and other good music that were dance-able to. But now it just literally suck. Hire a new DJ that could feel the crowd or atleast update the website like other clubs here in Austin so people know what nights to avoid coming to. We all would like to know what music would be playing that night, I could guarantee that much. The bartenders were friendly and hot. Only thing that made the night bearable. We got so bored and left around 12:30 after just sitting around and waiting for a good song to come on.

I've traveled all over the world and have been to hundreds of clubs of all kinds and can honestly say that South Beach in Houston is by far one of the very best there is. Definately the #1 dance bar in Texas, Gay or Straight. The music and house Dj's are major and the dance floor is smoking hot until the liquid nitrogen (or whatever it is) cooling system explodes on it's inhabitants from above. For the most part the staff is friendly and I'm talking about the bartenders, especially Leo in the front bar. The management thinks that they own the place and have forgetten that philantropist Charles Armstrong actually owns it and they can be very rude when contronted. Some of the other staff in the booth (not the Dj's) can real bithces too. I've been told by staffers that it has something to do with an agreement they had to sign in order to keep their jobs....oh well, too bad so sad!!! The shows are really great and they currently hav e the Queen of Houston performing there Ms. Kourtney Van Wales so showtimes at SoBe are always a treat. A must stop in when in the area or visiting Houston - just remember to avoid the booth and the management...

Ended up here after earlier plans fell through. A friend had told me about South Beach, so I knew what I was walking into and my fiance and his buddies (all straight) were awesome and said they would take me (I had to go out and shake my booty). Parking sucked, but again we knew this coming and it was past 10 when we made it there, we will definitely pay for parking next time :P No cover, that was awesome (Friday)! No one was really dancing yet so I headed out to dance and within a few minutes it really picked up. Plenty of room, fun go go dancers, even more fun people. Bathrooms are clean too (well at least the women's)!! Only bad experience, which really has nothing to do with the club per se because bad service happens anywhere...our female bartender I think was new, she was not very attentive at all, like we stood there for a long time and she would avoid us...weird. But my fiance did get out of there with a $10 bar tab!!! Can't beat that. I was the DD so I was drinking water which is free....from certain bartenders. One guy wanted to charge me for tap water, I slid it right back to him and got one from someone else. I get that they are a club, need to make money, yada yada but when my friends are drinking like fishes...please hook up the girl that has to drive them home with some water please!!! And the music...now it could have been mixed waaaaaay better. I have been a club goer for longer than I care to say and I never had as hard a time dancing as I did here! The transitions were off and it made it hard to dance seamlessly from song to song. I mean I danced anyway but it was a lot harder to get into the music when the tempo would change so abruptly. Quite a few build ups went flat too. The cooling jets are amazing...VERY LOUD...but worth it. It cools so quickly and it's super fun to have someone to be cuddling and kissing on when you can't see anything!! But now the fun part!! I pretty much danced solo a part from my group I came with but I had no problem with finding someone to dance with! Everyone is there to have a good time and most of the people had a smile plastered to their face. Got to talk to a lot of guys about this and that while dancing, exchange a lot of compliments, learned some new dance moves and even got lifted in the air a few times like a freaking ballerina!!! Most everyone was so respectful which was a nice change of pace since guys (usually meaning straight ones) are huge douche bags in clubs. When I went up to the bar for some H2O, I saw a lonely go go dancer kind of standing there for a min..I told him to shake the booty, he danced for me and I even asked if I could join him. He said not on that area but he showed me a place to get up on out on the floor and we danced!!! So much fun!!! And they were passing out free glow sticks..I don't care how old you are...people love glow sticks :) Great fun, great atmosphere and I will absolutely be going back!!

I went to South Beach for the first time with a group of friends, which includes straight and gay people. We all had a great time. We went Friday night, can I say, no cover before 11 PM? Also it's $5 after, but with a club that looks as posh as this, it's pocket change for a very clean and very well run club. I found the people there friendly, outgoing, and very approachable. Right as I walked in a person just ran up to me and complimented me on "how pretty I was". What a great start to the night! It doesn't stop there. There are three areas, a lounge area in the front with ample seating, a dance floor with wicked lighting, dry ice, and strobe effects in the back, and an outdoor smoking area off to the side. It didn't get too crowded when I was there, which is a plus. My first impression of the dance floor was that it was wicked and reminded me of some clubs in the Meatpacking district in NYC. The only downside was that the music was very loud and when the dry ice fog machine was warming up it sounded like white noise which was extremely annoying and I was afraid I was going to lose my hearing. That lasted for around a minute before you were deluded in freezing dry ice that almost scared me for a split second when it was seemingly never ending and I felt oxygen deprived. Another plus were the three very sexy half naked men standing in the corner wearing underwear. When I approached one he was very friendly and can I repeat, very hot??! Whoo, he was a specimen. While I'm on the positives, the drinks were very reasonably priced and not bad. I will definitely come to this club again.

Me and my friends went here for one of their birthdays last night. We chose it as a 2nd option cause Stereo Live was closing and 2 with a 20 charge and 10 parking. If we were gonna soend money we wanted to have time to enjoy ourselves. It was a 15 cover at south beach and it kinda sucks cause you cant see if its poppin inside or not. Still we just wanted to dance and have a good time. We walked in and there was maybe a little over 20 people there. A drag show started up and it was lovely and fun preformance. But after that no one danced and it seemed to clear out eventually. It also looked like a spot for older people, and were all 19-21. Still, we danced by ourselves and had a good time. DJ was okay, probably only time we'll go though.

What a great spot to go dancing! What I like best about South Beach is that it has something for everyone: if you don't like to dance, you can hang-out at any of the multiple bars, the lounge in the front of the club, or out on the patio. But if you want to dance, there is ample room! South Beach boasts one of the biggest dancefloors I've seen in a gay club. The again, I'm from Chicago, so there isn't as much space to expand. It was nice to not have to worry about bumping into everyone when dancing. That did happen, however, at certain points throughout the night as it was Britney Spears night. And you know we love us the hot mess known as B. Spears! I was really surprised at how diverse the crowd was: young and old(er), people of all shapes, sizes, colors, and orientations were there. How refreshing! Me thinks the Chicago scene could take a lesson from South Beach. The only drawback for me, was the cover. I'm not sure if it was so expensive because of the special event, but it was $15. Luckily, my friend and I arrived before 10pm, and it was free! But I'm willing to overlook the expensive cover, since South Beach definitely delivers for the price.

This is where all of the Houston gays and visitors go for a good time. The drinks here are quite watered down... If you go to the restroom there is a long wait for the urinals because all the guys there are cruising for sex instead of urinating... come on... you can do that in the parking lot! The music is off and on. They have one hour where they play all the good songs; otherwise it's just unrecognizable techno throbbing.

I've been here a few times and I always have a great time. This particular time we went, a friend had bottle service and we had our own VIP section. Everyone was so friendly and it was not too crowded where it would be stuffy like some other places. Lots of good music and we had the best waitress, ChynaDoll who was so very attentive in making sure we continuously had our drink orders in and our area secure. The girls and I were even able to leave our belongings (purses, jackets, etc.) at our booth and she would keep an eye on them for us. We had a blast and will definitely come again!

This is what people think of when they go to a gay dance club unfortunately not for me. The club claims to be high energy but the drinks and drunks aren't. The whole thing seems like you can't get drunk and the people who are have predrunk before going to the bar. I had 5 vodka drinks and barely felt anything with no hangover after. The dance floor is nothing to sneeze at with pretty lights and platforms to shake your stuff it's pretty smoking. That being said this bar is full of girls and nice gay guys. It's loud and thumping but with no real soul. I went on a Friday and it wasn't really too crowded.

I like South Beach but have some complaints. 1. When you have famous drag queens come, give them a stage. I don't understand the narrow catwalk stage they have to walk on. 2. A short bartender with red hair first gave me the wrong check. Then he took it back, stapled it to the written part that said $23, took a pen and wrote $50.00 in the pre-tip amount, and was a total jerk when I asked why. He said something about red bull. I was tipsy so I let it go, but I will never ever let him serve me again. 3. Nice update to the patio, but for the love of god get rid of the plastic curtains. It's like walking into a meat hanger and getting slapped in the face and slapping the person behind you in the face at the same time. Not efficient.

This place is very high energy, I always leave out of here very tipsy even when I just have it in mind to only have a max of two drinks, they always trun into doubles. I love the ice drops, when the floor gets cold and smokey. The bathrooms are mixed no such thing as a girls only here. They have a nice patio and every one is usually decked out and looking to be seen, so it's not really a place to go and be relaxed. There is really good music and be prepared to pay for parking. Great floor shows! Everyone must go see Ms. Kourtney and become a fan!
