BEST / The Best LGBTQ+ Bars and Parties in Miami / Thrillist

For decades, LGBTQ+ nightlife has brought people together, creating a place where everyone can be themselves, no matter who they are or how they identify. And in Miami, a city that already lends itself to that mindset, nightlife remains at the center of the LGBTQ+ life. 

South Florida’s history as a gay Mecca dates back decades. Stars like Grace Jones, Sylvester, and Divine were regulars at the iconic Copa Club in Fort Lauderdale, and the warm weather and lively local community made South Florida a coveted home for folks from all walks of life. 

Throughout the years, LGBTQ+ locals have found each other through nightlife, whether that be in a club with booming speakers, a drag show with high-kicking queens, or a cocktail bar over casual conversation. Today, the options for a fun night out are endless. And the fun isn’t just limited to the 305—Wilton Manors and Fort Lauderdale up north are longtime queer hotspots in their own right. 

Whatever you’re looking for, Miami’s got it. Pride is a year-round celebration here, and the city’s massive Latine population makes it one of the most diverse and vibrant LGBTQ+ communities in the country. They don’t call it the Magic City for nothing.

Find Puerto Rico on a plate at La Cosinita Latina
“I cook here like I took you to my house. Like you would go into a Puerto Rican house to eat, not a commercial kitchen. No corners cut,” said the chef-owner of La Cosinita Latina in West Palm Beach. Lucena deliberately changed the spelling of cocinita (small kitchen), replacing the second “c” for an “s” to represent the word “sabor” or “flavor” in Spanish.
