Best Club in City

Technically I don't think we can call this a dance club, but we can call it a dance bar. It is the best club in the city. Period.

Of all Cleveland's clubs, this one is best hands down. No, the bartenders don't make conversation very easily, and most of the guys are preening for attention, but compared to what passes for gay bars in the rest of the city, Twist is a relief. It looks cool, is in a safe neighborhood, has good parking, and has a large space that is easy to move around in and mix with other guys. Forget about Cocktails, Hawk, and the rest of the dives. Twist is the place to bring a date, hang out with friends, or cruise.

Shiny happy people

Go early and you'll find a few bar flies hanging around. Go after happy hour and the place lights up with sparkling twinks of all ages and races. Definitely a spot for enjoying eye candy, but if you're looking to get laid, go elsewhere. A place with ultra cool decor, standard dance music, and stand-and-model crowd. Nicely located by a bank and a cafe, in case you get the munchies or need some cash. Situated on Clifton Boulevard, Cleveland's main gay drag.

Great neighborhood bar!!!

Twist is a great bar! The owner is always re-inventing the place and he is very involved with the community. It has glass doors that open to the street and brings the outdoors to the entire bar. It is a great place to meet people and have a good time!
