From the moment you step foot into this vibrant hotspot, you'll be greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere that's perfect for letting loose and having a great time.
The music at Nathan's is top-notch, with a diverse selection of tunes to keep you dancing all night long. Since the 1990s, Twist has been a mainstay of Miami nightlife, and for good reason.
There is a reason local figures like Karla Croqueta and DJ Hottpants collaborate with Gramps often: It has become a second home for Miami’s queer community and greater Miami. In the meantime, a collection of decades-old establishments and newly minted bars continues to serve the community.
