Fort Lauderdale Gay Bars
Fort Lauderdale’s gay nightlife scene is laid back, with a neighborhood-feel, casual yet friendly. Wilton Manors attracts locals from afar and tourists looking for fun. Here are our top choices of where to party.
- Gym Sportsbar– Floor-to-ceiling windows keep the parade outside in view, while inside, true to its name, large flat screen TVs broadcast current sports of all variety.
- Village Pub – The two bar areas are separated by a large dance floor, and the place has great music. There’s sports memorabilia on the walls and athletic bartenders pouring drinks. The crowd is diverse, friendly, and the valet parking adds a touch of class.
- Georgie’s Alibi – Very popular bar, Inside, the men usually range from their late-30s to their mid-60s, with a little wiggle room on both ends, giving the crowd a fun but well-mannered feel. Their happy hour promotions attract visitors from near and far!
- Drynk Bar & Lounge -lounge serves a roster of unique cocktails and specialty martinis to sip indoors or on the patio. Comfortable furniture, soft lighting, and open windows make for a comfortable experience.
Gay Clubs
Clubs
- Ramrod – Fort Lauderdale’s main leather bar and is packed on Fridays and Saturdays from 10pm on. Other popular events include Bare Butt night, Pig Dance night, Caged Hunks, undie night and Best Buns evening!
- Hunters – with their wildly popular Fur Fridays (with $2 drinks!) and Classic 54 Sunday T-dance. Two-stories, with an often wild dance floor and smoking hot bartenders.
- The Manor – late night dance club. Head to this multi-club post-midnight (at the earliest) and get on the dance floor. The weekend is a Friday – Sunday affair, with the odd Thursday thrown in. It has several rooms to relax, dance and party.
- Boardwalk – great place to come with friends. The cover is $10, the cokes are $6, and the private dances $25. The restaurant serves surprisingly good food.
Sex Clubs
- The Club Ft. Lauderdale One of the nicest bath houses in the country, The Club is popular for its extensive facilities, including a full gym, outdoor pool and deck area. It attracts a mixed crowd or all types, though most of the full-on sex happens in private rooms.
- Slammer is a straight-to-the-point sex club, with slings and lots of public sex, but no showers. There’s a live DJ in the cage on Friday and Saturday night, and you can bring your own booze. Seedy, but it serves its purpose.
- Club House 2 This is the sleaziest of the three sex clubs, attracting mostly an older, leathery crowd.
