Twist — Restaurant in Miami Beach

If I could give this place zero stars, I would. My husband and I were on vacation, and he had been to this club before and enjoyed it. We tried to go last night—and it turned into one of the most frustrating and humiliating nights of our trip.

I wore regular sandals with backs—not flip flops, not slides—just simple, clean sandals. The bouncer immediately denied me entry and told me I needed to wear either sneakers or heels “at least 2 inches high.” Mind you, this rule is NOT posted anywhere online. Their website simply says: “No flip flops (thin sole sandals).” So apparently, sandals are fine unless the sole isn’t thick enough? How does that even make sense?

In our first interaction, the bouncer told me something about how “someone hurt their foot” and that’s why this new rule exists. I’m sorry, what? Someone else’s injury is now my problem as a guest? That’s not a dress code—that’s punishing every future customer based on a random incident. Completely unreasonable.

To “explain” the rule, the bouncer kept waving around a laminated sheet of blurry shoe pictures like it was supposed to clarify something—but it didn’t. No labels, no descriptions, just vague images that were totally open to interpretation. I kept asking questions to understand what counted, and his answers were unclear, inconsistent, and honestly condescending. It wasn’t until my last attempt—after going back and forth multiple times—that he finally said the soles had to be at least 2 inches thick. That would’ve been helpful to know the first time, instead of acting like I was crazy for asking.

I spent almost an hour running around trying to find anything that would work. I found a few options at a nearby tourist shop that was open late, including some heels that didn’t come in my size and were extremely uncomfortable—but I was desperate. I almost even spent $200 at the last place I could find open, but ultimately decided it wasn’t worth it.

Another bouncer said a pair I found would be fine, but when I returned to check with the original guy, he told me I had been back and forth too many times and refused to let me in at all anymore because I was “acting crazy.” Crazy? No—I was trying to comply with your unposted, inconsistent, and apparently made-up dress code with no real help or empathy from staff.

My husband even asked to speak to the manager, who stood there like a statue while the bouncer kept talking over us. Clearly, the bouncer was calling the shots, and the manager was just window dressing.

This whole experience was embarrassing, stressful, and a complete waste of time—all over a pair of sandals that weren’t thick enough. If you’re going to have a policy like this, post it clearly, explain it properly, and apply it fairly. None of that happened here.

Avoid this place. If you must go, maybe email ahead with a photo of your shoes and hope for approval—because apparently random injury anecdotes and vague photo charts are what determine your entry, not common sense or...

It was okay! Loved there were many rooms and it was huge. Good music, BUT people here are HUNGRY FOR MONEY! Omg, they don't even hide it, and they can be very direct and rude about it. First of all I'm coming from Las Vegas where dancers and bartenders are much more friendlier and give you actual customer service. Their dancers at twist are hot and cute but they don't let you take photos or video of them while you tip them. It's like they're hiding in the closet! Come on! Also they tell u right away $20 for a private dance (which means dancing on you for two songs on a chair in the back of the bar). Also, rude, you use the restroom, get a paper towel for the guy, and they ask you right away to give them a dollar. It's not like it's a tip optional for them, they Demand you the money. So I did not like their service because of this. Also, you must have a min of $30 dollars spending to use your card. Not very convenient if you're only buying two drinks for now. And also, one of my friends had given a dancer $5 and then gave him another $12 for a dance to total $17 which is how much he had cash at the time before asking me, but the Cuban dancer told him he had to give him $20 exactly, so he took him straight to the ATM to get the rest. Plus, I didn't not know they don't let you take pics, so I took some to show some friends on social media where I was, and the bartender told me right away that if I did that they would kick me out of the club. So I said okay sure sorry I didn't know, minutes later when I'm on the other side of the bar having a drink, one of the guys that dances comes up to me and says, "I saw you taking a photo of My friend, you took pics, delete them" i told him yeah don't worry, the bartender already told me, I deleted them, and he said "I don't believe you, you didnt, let me see your phone" i got mad and told him No! I am not letting you have my phone, don't worry about it, and he kept on insisting to have me show him my phone to make sure the photos were deleted. Are you freaking kidding me?!?!? I got mad and told him I AM NOT LETTING YOU HAVE MY PHONE, the guy left and that was it. It pissed me off. So yeah they're MONEY HUNGRY AND because of that I disliked parts of the club. You should learn from Piranhas Nighclub in Las Vegas! They have an amazing club with actual good service and friendly go go dancers. I give u a 2/5 (two for the plenty of rooms and ok music) the rest wasn't of my enjoyment. 👎 you're drinks aren't event that...

I've been on this place around one time a year and each time is worst. Last time it seemed packed with all type of druggies, and desperate last minute f a g stags trying fishing for whatever picks them up for the night not to mention I had to check my wallet every 5 min. The place smells like a handled worn dollar bill. Bathrooms are nasty all the time. The go go dance section is packed with decrepit old linch drunk men and annoying f a g h a gs locals acting as tourists creeping on dancers. Latin section is always empty and boring. No one stand there but the rejected ones. Second floor is more sinister. There is a little improvised dance floor with videos that seem cool and it's the favorite of those annoying drunk drama queens that they think still are in their 90s. The other place to your right, the dance floor which is a bit bigger, turns into a free-for-all cheap zoo motel on dim lights. It's scary. The music is ok not gonna lie but there is a point where the voltage of the place turns sordid, and psychedelic. The halls turns into a catwalk all night for desperate guys trying to hook up whatever they couldn't in other places. It's clearly to notice at certain hour this turns into anything but a a gay place anymore but a den packed with all type of people from the street that have access to this place with obscure intentions God knows for what. Drink prices are a bit pricey. There is never a parking lot available around so you always have to park around miles away from this place. After reading the reviews I never had had any bad experience with bouncers fortunately, but I did see one of them violently bouncing a guy one night in front of me. That was not cool. Another night I was asked for my ID INSIDE the location with a guy with a wig showing me his badge, and it seemed so funny to me. He was too obvious that he was an undercover. All in all is a place that makes impossible to meet anyone for several reasons but the most important is that make sure to put the music that loud so you don't socialize with anyone, but...
