The Manor Complex

Top tier gay club known for its energetic atmosphere and diverse offerings. It's a multiroom, two level space featuring an impressive sound system and dazzling lights. Expect lively dance floors, especially on weekends, with a diverse crowd. Essentially, The Manor is your go to for a high energy, immersive club experience with options for dancing, socializing, and entertainment in Wilton Manors.

I was lucky enough to go to the largest and best nightclub in Wilton Abbey on Halloween, but I don't know if I still need to charge a $10 ticket fee if I usually have a Florida driver's license from 23:00 to 0 o'clock on Friday and Saturday? Does the club provide free time? Is there any entertainment program to go in from Tuesday to Thursday? Do I also need to charge the ticket fee?

It’s packed with a bunch of ru Paul previous contestants and famous DJ’s other nights. Usually a party every week. Weekends are gay unless there is a special event, which could be during the week. It’s a huge place, the biggest nightclub on Wilton Drive. Open till like 3:30/4am on the gay weekends. Big outside patio, several different bars, 2 levels. Big Venue, (the name is The Venue) they called it The Manor on the weekends.

I went there yesterday (Saturday) 5/3/2025 whicj was my favorite dj Abel and overall had a great time—the music, crowd, and energy were all amazing. I’d definitely go again because the vibe was truly worth it. However, I had an uncomfortable experience with the bathroom attendants that really needs to be mentioned. I paid $20 to get in, which should include access to basic amenities like the restrooms. But the woman by the bathroom told me I had to leave a tip or she wouldn’t let me use it. She even knocked on the door while I was inside, which felt invasive. At the other bathroom, a man told us the same thing—that we needed to tip if we wanted to use it. I didn’t ask for any service, just needed to use the restroom, and being forced or pressured to tip just for that is not okay. Tips should be optional and based on service—not a requirement for something that should already be included with admission. Everything else about the night was great, but the staff working the bathrooms yesterday should not be forcing guests to tip. I hope the club addresses this, because it puts a damper on an otherwise amazing experience.

The Manor Complex / The Venue offers a ton of different opportunities. It hosts events to being a club at night. Welcoming different opportunities and hosting to all types of guests and clients. Being in wilton it is a great place for the lgbtiqa+ club all night on all main holidays and most times is free on the holidays. On weekends, it hosts may events that have different styles of crowds. For example, on Friday nights, it is one of the few places open for 18 and up. You can also catch a Rupaul dragrace celebrity performance at 2am( the only thing I would complain about is wish the shows were sooner.) When it's not a night club you could be here for a major event such as a gala for a charity or maybe you high-school prom. The food so far has always impressed me for their private events. Their drinks are nothing fancy, just a normal bar drink. The atmosphere is massive with 4 sections rooms two of them being 2 stories with an up stairs. With its chandeliers, it is a more upscale classy feel and impressed how clean it is for the traffic flow it handles. This place can get packed depending on the event and cost of course. The lighting and sound are great as it seems to have a crew just for that, and they are always bringing in djs from all over. Prices vary in may ways, events ranging from free entry level to an average Friday night of starting 21+ locals 10 at opening all the way up to $25 if after midnight same average night. Local discounts and above 21 discounts.

Just facts about our experience. They don’t let you back in even with a bracelet, security is rude and cocky. Not a first impression you should have of any business. I was with a big group and we went on a Saturday at 1am and it was dead. Not worth going again, tons of other great establishments around there to go.

Poor customer service by staff and security. Over priced crappy drinks. Yes it’s a nightclub but I’ve been to night clubs that have great staff and decent drinks. Don’t know if it’s new management but went on Saturday night and it was empty wonder why.

I've been here 4 times for fetish factory parties and it's always been a great time. The main stage has a big dance floor and the loft overhang is fun to look over and down on the dance floor and main stage. The placement of the multiple bars is also convenient. And the smaller rooms are fun for breaking up the party a bit. There is no top shelf alcohol, which is why the food rating isn't a 5.

love the manor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! slayyyyyyyyyyyy

If you want music that goes dun dun duh 3x on repeat for hours this is all they got. Also, free entry for locals ONLY- the promoters lie. F this place. I'd rather spend money at The Eagle or Johnsons. They try in the gayborhood unlike this place. Corporate owned for sure!

The Manor is a large venue with valet parking. It has five bars and clean restrooms. There is an outside second floor area that leads into a lofted area to sit and have a drink. Ambiance is great. It is modern, well lit, and clean. Heads up, there are a lot of stairs and the bathrooms are thin and usually crowded. The bartenders can make you anything you want, but during major celebrations like Pride the drinks are small and expensive. Likewise bartenders are overextended and the wait time is quite long. Price for drinks at regular events are higher than average, but much of the liquor use is brand name or higher shelf.

I Love going to the manor , good music , great djs, but been noticing that the drinks go for 10$ to 19$ when you get drunk, they don't think you'll check your bank statements next day or remember , i bought two drinks when I got in and paid 20$ then later on I paid 28$ for the same drink. Bartenders are taking advantage when you get drinks. Not nice at all, how can we trust like that ?? There's a pic of my last two drinks , vodka with cranberry... I gave 1 dollar tip even when I noticed the price charged.

Gary was extremely nice and welcoming! As well as the Haitian security guard that was working outside last night was super nice. It really said the tone of my entrance. I shortly after even met the owner he was a nice guy too. The Club itself is very big with ample space to dance. The drinks are strong and good priced. Also the Gogo dancers are very good looking and fun. My friends and I had a blast and when I'm in town again I will be coming back in :) !

Rude front door people and bar tenders. I asked for the address and he said do I look like I work here. Yes your behind the bar so obviously you work here. Then the door man was rude when we tried to let him know what happened to the point like he wanted to hit me. A male wanting to hit a female. I have never been disrespected like this in my life.

Unfortunately straight people are not welcomed! Not a safe place! Sad but true. The drinks are water with food coloring. Unfortunately, the owners need to evaluate their security detail.

Terrible venue - the music wasn't very good and the security guards at the front are rude. Drinks were also not good at all. Take your money elsewhere.

I would give it five stars if it wasn't everytime the front door people are really rude. Besides that love the service and drinks can be pricey so I say pre game before going in. Music is always good.

Wow... amazing drinks, amazing food, amazing service. The place was packed whence got there but the hostess, Lady Guy, hooked us with one of the bartenders, Drew, who took excellent care of us. We starters with Basil Gimlets. I am a big fan of the vodka Gimlet, but had never had one with basil. Wow... The Ahi Tuna appetizer arrived in no time flat and we inhaled it. The sear was perfect and it was served with just enough wasabi on the side. Next we had the perfect dirty martini and it was both pe rfect and dirty. For the entree we split the Argentinean skirt steak. It was served in two perfect portions. They were slammed but still provided AMAZING service.

Dead last few Fridays. Lots of rude teen girls. I wouldn't call this a gay club at all. Been going here for 10 years and the attendance has been going such downhill. They need a new owner or something to make it cool again

Literally Alibi is free and every drink comes with a drink ticket. Go there. Drink the bar is fun too. There are so many awesome clubs in Wilton Manors. THE MANOR SUCKS ASSSSSSS. So skip it. It's all around boring and over priced 19$ vodka soda well. Johnson's across the street they are 6$. So if you have to go but honestly skip the manor. Absolutely trash establishment. Edit: it's normally 10$ but they charge 20$ during pride. So they are literally hurting the gays during pride month. Just so everyone is aware.

My friends and I came here for my bachelorette party this past weekend. I had never been but I am so happy we chose this place to party at. The club is huge but we stayed in the main room for the majority of the evening. The DJ was amazing and they even had performers dancing/fire dancing. My goofy friend bought a blowup doll to tote around town with us. Everyone there thought it was hilarious and the doll spent the night crowd surfing and getting danced with by random people. It is so rare to encounter nice people here in South Florida. So it was amazing to encounter only nice and funny humans the entire night we spent here. What a great time!

I guess The Manor was supposed to be a central gay jewel of a place with something for everyone; kind of a one size fits all gay people type of place. It's huge, has an enormous and beautiful dance floor, a restaurant with rather good service though somewhat "iffy" food, several bars and all kinds of entertainment. Sometimes when there is decent entertainment going, it attracts a crowd but on off week nights it's deader than the local mausoleum. It's difficult to figure The Manor. Someone sure spent a lot of money on it, buying out the old Flower's Restaurant (which was good riddance), then completely rebuilding and expanding into what it is today. I as there for opening night, the traditional glass of free champagne and what was to be part of a Cirque show. That, however, never happened until 11:00 pm and then turned out to be anything but a Cirque show. That is unless you think some dizzy broad going up and down; turning summersaults on some draperies suspended from the ceiling makes a Cirque show. They also gather email addresses from the patrons in order to notify them of special events, but wouldn't you know they put their addresses on some sort of mass mailer so that they all ended up in the unwanted spam bin of the intended addressees. Basically I find The Manor to be a nice place, but they really can't seem to get their act together or do anything right. For example, in the back bar lounge they had a comedy act. The place was packed and though it has a bar, there was no bartender to be found. To have a drink you had to walk to the main bar, and then try to get back into the lounge area. Ugh! With the "iffy" food at high prices, the general bungling of the employees not knowing what they are really suppose to be doing and no one seeming to know exactly what is happening, I can't say much for it. Particularly since other places seem to be a lot more fun, leaving The Manor as being rather dullsville.

First time at Manor and went on a Friday night. I know that this club is 18+ and over but it was more of an 18 and under Lmao. I am not even exaggerating. I went with my friends who are in mid to late twenties and holy cow when we walked in, it's like we were right back in high school. LITERALLY. That young high school look and high school attitude were definitely 99.8% of the crowd. Definitely not the type of crowd I personally enjoy being around so I didn't enjoy it that much. There were definitely many minors trying to "sneak in a drink or get someone older to buy them a drink " and all that which was kind of annoying. But hey, it's a super young crowd so those kind of attempts are not surprising since we've all been there when we were that age. Music it was Latin night and I gotta admit they played some really good music. There were two rooms although they were kinda small so after midnight it gets crowded like crazy. I mean body to body crowded. Outside the two rooms was like a bar type of set up which was not bad. I believe if you are a Florida resident the cover is free if you are over 21 and if it is before 11 or 12 - something to that effect.

this is the most spectacular mulit million dollar club in broward! international dj's the lights, lasers, beautiful show dancers, the interior design, it's like. south beach multi million dollar club with the prices 3 times cheaper. big wow 5 to this club.

Manor lately has been very hit or miss for me. Years ago I used to love to come here. Probably my favorite club before and after coming out...now not so much. I went recently to see Miss. Beast herself, Alyssa Edwards in person. My friend was hit in the face, and she clocked him back as self defense, however she was kicked out and the man who started was not. YES the man hit the woman first and nothing was done....ridiculous I know. Tried to explain the situation to the bouncer(who I have had issues with in the past) and he literally did not care one bit. Then before that incident I had my bag checked as I entered The Manor one night and everything was all fine and dandy. I had a tab going, enjoying my time, and there comes THE SAME BOUNCER, taps on my shoulder and yells at me I have to "leave now!" because I had a bag....I said sir my bag was checked in order to get in this literally makes no sense. He told me he would be "so kind" as to let me go put my bag in the car not have to make me pay twice...I was so angry because why would I pay twice when it wasn't my fault to begin with. My whole night was ruined so I decided to close my tab and immediately leave. Most recently(when the check in is from) was a Halloween event. My friend and I ubered and ended up having a great time ( because of our company and the fact that we left and went to other places) but the music at Manor last Saturday was terrible. The hip hop room was Spanish ALL night, I understand switch it in and out, but not everyone wants to hear latin music all night long at a halloween event? And I'm Colombian, I don't know it just did not make sense. The house room also was playing really bad old school music, and I usually LOVEEE oldies. Like I said Manor has just been hit or miss, and the last 3 times I had went...for sure a miss, however the bartenders usually make great drinks.

In my opinion, the Manor is now a terrible nightclub. I have hosted my birthday there years ago and I am appalled at the horrendous service I received last night. I had an open tab with a bartender who gave me great service and was very attentive. As I was dancing on the main dance floor, a Manor employee named Michael accosted me and told me that he suspects that I am underage. I am currently 33 years old. I thanked him for the compliment and continued dancing. Michael then demanded that I show him my ID. I informed Michael that my driver's license and American Express credit card were both with the bartender. Michael escorted me as if I were a child over to the bartender who looked at him like he was crazy, and verified that I had a tab open with him and that I was 33 years old. I then requested to speak to a manager to voice my opinion on how Michael's interaction could have better been handled and to resolve the issue. The manager who I interacted with was unsympathetic and on Michael's side straight off the bat without even listening to me. I left a voice message for the owner of the Manor, Paul Hugo, to discuss Michael's unprofessionalism and the lack of competence of the manager to resolve the issue. The call has not been returned. I will not be returning to the Manor until I get a resolution from the owner Paul Hugo and Michael's inappropriate and unprofessional behavior is addressed accordingly.

This place is no longer a gay bar. That seriously needs to be updated. It is a club that caters to straight people in the middle of Wilton Manors, so they have no choice to be gay friendly due to the location. But it's nowhere near like it used to be. If you want a good mix of people (gay and straight) you might have fun here. But their drink prices are still the highest on the Drive, and there is a cover depending on the hour. Nowhere else in Wilton Manors has a cover. Better club scene at Hunters or Southern Nights.

Please don't waste your money coming to this place. The music is terrible, you will probably have more fun with an elevator's music. Just go to hunter, it's much better that this place and you don't have to pay cover.

This club used to be so much fun but not anymore. They have the worst DJs that just keep playing the same beat. You can't even dance to it. It's disappointing because I used to love going there on Saturday nights and now I leave 5 minutes after going in because it's sooooo boring.

Whole place looks very classy. Drinks were very poor (cheapest votka) upset my stomach next day & gave me big headache Live shows were ok. İf u ever visit this place make sure u only drink cans or bottle not any drinks they serve

Awesome on Friday night.great gogo dancers,good music, fun atmosphere. Absolutely worth paying a cover. Don't bother on Saturday! It's horrendous! Same cover, not as fun, and not as cute either. Don't waste your money! This is a joke. Only 18+ would pay a cover to be tortured by bad transitions and bad house. No Bueno!

My BFF was in from NYC And wanted to show him a nice time and this place was full life with a great crowd and Awsome music in every room!!! Will Definitely visit again.

I need to revise my review for this place. And probably my opinion will vary widely depending on the days. Because it's that kind of place - a place that has a hard time keeping everything consistently under control. It's one of the nicest clubs around, but also one of the dirtiest since there doesn't seem to be much of a cleaning staff. And I'm talking Saturday night. I've seen shabbier clubs that are just as packed but are cleaner. Additionally, another thing that bothers me is how the air is stifling hot in here when it's packed. It's uncomfortably hot and sticky. Not something I'd expect for this club to be if it's aiming to be of a higher calibre. And unfortunately most of the other clubs I've been to that are again, just as packed, are not as stifling hot as it was in The Manors. I wish I could say it's an isolated incident, but I've experienced this the last three times I've gone out for the Manors' nightlife. I'd only recommend this place on a quieter night, for the restaurant, bar and chill spot - but as far as clubbing goes, there's work that needs to be done.

Covid super spread establishment! Went last night to meet couple of friends that were visiting town! We walked in and huge sign stated that masks should be worn at all times if you are on the dance floor! No drinks allowed there. And that those rules will be strictly enforced. Well NOT even one person had a mask on anywhere in your establishment. Half your stuff had their masks under their noses. Breathing on the drinks they were making. The place was packed, no social distancing, no masks, no enforcement of any kind. It is absolutely disgusting that no one cared. And mostly You didn't care, you didn't care that your establishment is a mayhem for spreading Covid. It's all about money and how many people we can charge $10 tonight. Drag queens kept walking around touching,kissing and hugging everyone they saw. Your own employees and people you hire to entertain were the main source for spreading Covid! I wonder how many people got infected last night there. I hope you guys get shut down and go out of business! Reported you to the CDC and local authorities today. Expect a visit and shut down very soon!

The music is so TRASH! They kept playing beat music back to back un- cultered swines. I rather go to church then go to this shit IF YOU'RE READING THIS DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY & TIME COMING HERE! It will kill your vibe instantly. PERIOD.

This place is huge! Always a good time and drinks are not very expensive. I like that each room has a different type of music, the only two complaints I would have is that in the entrance they do not accept card for the entrance fee and I never have cash on me so I have to go to an ATM to get cash out. The other complaint is that the hip hop room (the best room and music) gets extremely hot, I would suggest they kick up the air and turn on the fans in that room. Other than that, this place rocks! Check it out!

Great atmosphere and drinks are good. There's multiple rooms to choose from, much bigger than I expected it to be. Drinks aren't overpriced in my opinion

The funnest place!!!! Every time I go I always have a good time! Music is fun, environment is awesome and the bartenders are a joy!

Came for a drag queen performance around 11pm. She didn't take the stage until *three hours* after the show started at 2am. And she only performed two songs. Meanwhile, the Manor was a pretty unpleasant experience. Generic house remixes at preposterously loud volumes, bartenders (one of whom was completely incompetent and spilled drink after drink in the upstairs bar) refuse to sell you water for anything less than $5, underage kids barfing on the dance floor, and a $10 cover for those without an in state ID. I'll never be coming back.

Really good food for the price and good service. Special requests - no problem. Great concept bar, dance floor, restaurant, coffee bar, gelato counter. Only issue - parking! Be prepared to valet your car or hunt for a space and walk.

While this place is super fun, be wary of THEFT. There is an entire crime ring that has pinned this popular night spot as a perfect location to pray on the unsuspecting. I Love The Manor - and I'm happy to delete this post once the problem is fixed. But something has to be done. There is an entire CELLPHONE THEFT NETWORK running in this place. Your phone will get stolen! If not tonight, then another time. Three weeks ago we were at The Manor and I had my iphone in my front pocket, as there are signs posted on the wall, PLACE ALL VALUABLES IN FRONT POCKETS. I'm a careful guy. One minute I had it - next minute it was gone. Shock! Horror! My iphone was stollen. So we set out to find the culprit, using Find My Friends. We followed the dot around until we saw it leave the building. Ran out into the street and then BAM it disappeared, they turned the phone off. Never to be seen again. Then something strange happened two weeks later, I get an odd txt from id_icloud.apple@icloud.com saying, "[Notice]your lost iPhone has been found, please refer to the specific location apple.info-icloud-id.com/us Apple suport" I click the link and there is a very liggit-looking icloud sign-in page...except for the URL. It's all fake! Routed from China!! It was a hacker, with my stollen phone, attacking me with a phishing scheme to get my icloud password so he could unlock, wipe, and sell my stollen iphone in the black market. NOW - I started talking to people about the theft. More often then not, it had happened to them to. It's like an epidemic. Turns out a LOT of people have fallen victim. No one is talking about it because they feel guilty! Today a new phone can knock you back $500-$1000 dollars, no one should feel bad about this, we need to be vocal, we need to do something! HERE ARE MY (Possible) SOLUTIONS: Patrons: Besides putting phones and $$ in your front pocket, tie one end of a string around your phone and then tie the other to a belt loop in your pants. Then if someone snags your phone, it'll tug your pants, you'll feel it, the guy will get caught, and hopefully freak out and run away. The Manor Staff: 1) Inform people verbally that there is a problem here, have fun, but be watchful. 2) Give out pieces of string along with those colorful bracelets. That won't cost much at all. 3) Inform the police! I know, I know...but sometimes just the mere presence will detract offenders. ALSO: Fill out a police report. It will take 5 minutes. Swing by the Wilton Manors Police Station. Fill out the paperwork. You prolly won't see your phone again, but it will help them figure out just how frequently this is happening. That's all. enjoy the manor!

I am not a fan of this establishment simply because the beer selection and liquor is awful. When I mean awful I mean the bottom well of every type of alcohol available. Also the music is never good as it used to be, so I am not sure what happened to their DJ's.

Hot boys! Strong drinks! This is a favorite local watering hole for me. I really enjoy meeting my friends here.

Good lord......another typical wilton rip off of "Studio 54 meets Michael Alig & The Club Kids From The 80's" bar/restaurant/dance club/venue place, etc. Seriously.....what the heck IS this place??? One day its the manor, the next day its called the venue. Like what the hell? Only open 2 days a week? Wow....thats nice. I remember a few short years ago, i went there to drop in for a glass of water (it was Wicked Wilton for halloween where they close the drive off) and the bartender says "we dont do cups of water here. You'll have to buy a bottle". So, since i was hot from my costume and didnt really want to argue, i asked politely "how much" and i got the reply of "6 dollars". Whoa whoa whoa whoa WHOA! 6 DOLLARS.....for a BOTTLE of WATER?!?!? Add to that, it wasn't even a bottle of water one would expect to pay for that amount of money. Voss, Fiji, Evian? Nope......not the manor! I got a bottle of the cheapest water bottle you could think of. It would of been cheaper for me to go to Kmart or Target and buy a case or two of their brand of water BY THE CASE as opposed to spending that amount of money for just ONE btl of water offered by the manor. I left, parched, and disappointed. I also remember years ago, when they first opened, I went there once....and i said to myself "this place wont last a year". The fact that the BierGarden fell before the manor leaves you to imagine what kind of individuals REALLY run this place. One month they a bakery, the next a deli, the next a cafe, then nothing but tables and chairs. now its nothing but things connected to the inside to sit and eat. My GOD....this place just gives me a headache in trying to figure out just WHAT exactly this place IS! Any place of business, especially a gay one that lets KIDS who are 18 (majority just turned 18 or have fake IDS but they are allowed in regardless thanks to their WONDERFUL bouncers) is beyond me. 18 year olds dont belong in a gay club. They are to immature and rowdy. You will learn that the hard way when one of them falls off a balcony and breaks their arm, back or neck and you find out they're underaged and were let in with a very convincing fake ID. They hire people from RuPauls drag race, both winners and rejects as well as no name Dj's who are trying to bust it big on the music scene, or has beens who still think their music is hot stuff when its not, to stay afloat......that just about sums up how desperate they are. NEXT! Ps. Wow installing FAKE windows?!?! Ha! Exposed!

If you have a pulse in Fort Lauderdale, are gay, under 75 and not at Manor, you're wasting a great Friday out. I love everything about this club. Owned by the same people who operated Coliseum, which set my bar for every club, this complex does not fail to offer amazing music, hot bodies and great drinks every time. You have to be careful though, they will have early drink specials which are amazing, and then they take a healthy jump, so know your timing and watch your tab. The place welcomes a very healthy mix of everyone, but does sku more tward the twink/young pro crowd. If you're looking for a hardcore fetish type experience this may not be for you. Its certainly not if you just want to have a beer and sit a the bar. This is a high energy space.

This club is not a good space for Gay Men to be "gay men". Not only does the vibe of the club begin with a security check that immediately makes you feel untrusted and unwelcome by the establishment. The security is overzealous in enforcement of policies that were clearly not designed for the gay male clientele mind. We saw a man have his drink snatched by security and taken away with no hesitation with noo explanation to the patron, and although he was clearly too drunk, he was not removed from the club, and was not given the chance to even understand why that just happened. What finally made us leave, was that gay men, who historically take their shirts off when dancing, were immediately taken aside, and told to Put their shirts on. Although the music is good. (Which is the only reason this has two stars) I feel as though this club has very little respect for its Patrons, or the history of Gay Culture in providing a welcoming environment for people who go there. I'm

DO NOT GO HERE, RACIST! we need to let this place die so someone else can use the space for a better party. The place is obviously not what it used to be, I am a what you would call a regular for the las 7 years. Yesterday I came to the door about 11:30pm and it was strange that there was no line, but there hasn't even been a line for months because is empty, I asked the guy standing at the door who claimed to be the owners best friend when was the door opening and how much was the cover as I had a group of 6 people and he replied to me pointing at his coworker, talk to him, he speaks Spanish. If you been reading this this far, my English after living in the US for the last 30 years isn't the worst, its just not my first language. At this point I ask the guys name and he refused to give it to me, instead his coworker "the spanish speaking one" said Bob, so maybe his name was bob but then everyone name was bob, I asked the lady at the cash register, and then they referred to me as a Karen. I feel very insulted and disappointed and it is not like me to write a bad review about places, I rather everyone has their own experience but this in case if you are coming from abroad, this place is racist, and empty, also from the music prospective, the music is pretty bad, I guess I'm one of the last ones to notice. We as a community should not contribute to its racist success, just don't attend. The new owner once this one is out I'm sure will make the place great. There are other places that are awesome and people are nice, down the street, may I be so bold to mention how awesome and how far the party at Hunters has made it!

Pretty good. Went here with my girlfriend and a pair of her gay friends the day the anti-gay marriage law got struck down. Highlights: Got bought a bunch of drinks by some real nice dudes. Found a rainbow flag and decided to wear it as a cape. Bunch of people asking me when I came out to my family, I told them I was straight, and I could see the sorrow in their eyes as they realized I was a dead end. A couple of them tried to pursue, but it usually ended when my girlfriend came over and kissed me. Some ripped guy was dancing on stage. Asked him what his regiment was, but he just thrust his groin in my general direction. He probably had about $45 in his underwear. Only problem I had with this place was having to wait in line for the bathroom. That's not something I experience frequently, or ever, at straight clubs or bars. Didn't mind to much though, since the other guys in line were super friendly. One guy asked if I was wearing the rainbow flag as a cape because of the gay marriage decision. I told him no, I just wanted to wear it as a cape. He seemed disappointed. Oh, and some guy gave me a Ring Pop. I was excited about that, but it turned out to be strawberry. I couldn't tell by the wrapper, since it was dark. The taste, however, made what should've been a happy moment more somber. EDIT: I should clarify I thought he gave me a cherry Ring Pop. Cherry is obvious superior to strawberry, but I feel as though some people on this site have bad taste in artificial candy flavors. Hope that cleared up the confusion. I would go back to this establishment.

I always have a blast dancing here with friends. The set on Fridays & Saturdays are pretty good. Drinks here are a bit weak. Make sure you pregame before going. There are a few rooms so if you hear music you're not a fan of, keep it moving- you will find somewhere in the building you can dance to. Sometimes there are drag shows- those are fun as well.

Please play better music. No one wants to hear top 40's all day. Play cool music lollll better hip hop better house music, gay people are supposed to be the tastemakers of our communities and the music taste bad. It's tired music. When I go to club space the music is amazing all the time.. idk why gay people can't have good music that's not Ariana grande on a remixed beat. We are supposed to have the best music. Hire a new DJ for the hip hop room. The music y'all play in the hip hop room is racist they play what they think black people listen to it's truly a shame. I will come show you guys better music if you need the help.

DO NOT GO IF YOU VALUE YOUR SAFETY!!! I've been a patron at the Manor for years and got to know the bouncers and owners of the club including Brett, Robby, and Paul. When I went in there last, I was in the bathroom where somebody accosted me and told me to go back to my country and then proceeded to assault me. I notified Paul who was there but the culprit was not removed. I then talked to my friends about the situation and a random manager approached me and told me that if I kept talking about the situation I would have to leave. Seeing as I didn't think that was appropriate given the circumstances I told him that I was just talking amongst my friends and it would not escalate further but that was not sufficient for him so he called two security guards and informed me that I had to leave because I was causing a disturbance. I was never physical with my assailant and thought I approached the situation in an appropriate manor but apparently that was not the case. If you want to go there just be prepared.

Really good scene to meet people! I've been coming regularly for years and it's still my favorite club in Florida! Music is bumping and it's always a vibe :)

We wanted to explore this particular area in Fort Lauderdale on a Saturday night and decided to go to The Manor. Cover was $10 and drinks weren't overly expensive. The drag show took place around 2am and the music variety was good; Present chart hits, classic throwbacks, some Britney, Nicki Manaj, Lady Gaga, and many more similar artists. The only negative is the club's refusal to give you tap water and instead only providing you with the option to buy a small bottle for $4. That being said, we would happily return :-)

This use to be my spot, loved coming and dancing every Friday. But now it's like ehhhh lol. I love the hip hop room, never stop dancing there.

Wow, it's been more than 4 1/2 years since I first reviewed The Manor, and more than 3 since I wrote my last update, though I've returned here at least a dozen times. Time does fly! Simply put, you won't find a classier place on Wilton Drive that features a little something to suit nearly everyone's tastes in both entertainment options as well as eye candy as you'll find at The Manor. It's got a modern looking, well-stocked bar when you first enter, a smaller bar to the left with a few dozen craft beers and microbrews on tap and in bottles, there's a Latin club at the back, and to the side of the main bar is the entrance to the 2 storey dance club, which also has a stage and is used for some special events, celebrity DJs and small concerts. I find that The Manor tends to evolve fairly often. As I mentioned in my last review, there had been some changes over the first year that this place was in operation, some rooms and spaces were re-themed vs. their original intent, etc. That has continued. What was once a café and pastry/dessert counter to the left when you first enter is now a bar where they have a few dozen taps and sell several craft beers / microwbrews. What was once the outdoor bar on the patio in front and billed as a "sports bar" is now gone, as they moved that wall out so they could move the bar for the 2 storey dance club back several feet to make room for more patrons in there. In my last review I also mentioned that they had a stage and a live band that played in the main bar area on weekend evenings. While I enjoyed their music and they were talented, they were really too loud for that small of a space, and it was annoying to have to yell at the person next to you at the bar when trying to carry on a conversation, or scream your order to the bartender. For better or worse, the stage and that band have been gone for quite some time. I've been here for a number of special events and even a "concert" where Deborah Cox performed about 4 numbers. The Manor is always well staffed, organized, I've never experienced rude treatment by any of the employees, and the patrons also seem to be younger than many of the other bars in this area and are out to have a fun time. Do note that this bar/club is one of the later ones to come alive on weekend evenings. If you stop by on an off night or before things really get busy, this place can be VERY dead and seem like a ghost town, if for no other reason than just the sheer size of the place. The disco lighting in the club portion of The Manor is much improved since I wrote my last review, and they hired a proper lighting programmer to operate it. So instead of a dark disco with the same lighting design running all night, it's now a lot more lively and the lighting design actually changes with the beat of the music and tempo of the songs that are played. So how could they improve the place moving forward? 2 things: 1)Better A/C in the dance club. The last few times I've been here, we left simply because we were getting "swamp ass" from sweating and gyrating on the dance floor. They do have the 2 large CO2 jets that I mentioned in my last review. Those do help cool the place a bit, but not nearly enough. On the night Deborah Cox performed, I was just standing up in one of the loft areas enjoying a drink and watching the show, wasn't dancing or moving around and I was literally dripping sweat. 2) More restrooms. I noticed that they removed one toilet from at least one of their restrooms so they could install more urinals, but when they pack this place on Friday and Saturday nights, the lines for the restrooms can be several people deep and a long wait.

Apparently, they only open the big dance floor when you cannot move anymore. They say they do not open the big dance floor until around 12:30 or 1. I guess their management thinks no one wants to have space to dance on a Friday or Saturday night until 1am. We took our group and left. What a joke!

I wanna give it at least 4 stars but I won't. It's crazy expensive. I don't like places that on top of being expensive, have cover. The cover isn't even an easy $5, no, it's usually $10-$20. The line to get in is so extra and they don't take card, so make sure to have cash on you. However, the people working the door are usually nice. You can't smoke inside, so you'll have to go outside every time to smoke. I hated that when I used to smoke. It's very easy to lose your friends because it's big and many of the rooms have bathrooms, bars, etc so you can't say things like "meet me by the bar" because you won't lol. The crowd is mostly gay males but there are more queer women than most gay bars so kudos for that. It's also ally friendly if you're the straight friend who came along. Strangers don't harass or grope you and honestly most people are minding their own business and not giving you dirty looks. Another thing I don't like is bathroom attendants. I don't like them anywhere because they make me feel awkward. Forget about hooking up with your friend in the bathroom or anything like that, even just peeing with your friend is out of the question. The bathrooms are singles, though, so it's private and comfortable once you wait 15 mins in line and get cut three time before getting in. It's a club and it's lit as fuck so I'm gonna give you two tips: don't wear clothes you'll get hot or sweaty in and if your eyes are sensitive bring sunglasses because of the strobes. Sometimes they have live performances and drag queens, too. It's pretty cool. The dress code is also flexible just look decent. I like manor, but can only come here when I'm on a looser budget. Great for groups of friends
