    Very friendly gay bar near Miami Beach. Staff were open and engaging from moment we walked in. Gave us dinner recommendations and made time to talk about the gay scene in Miami. Gets busy around 10pm but there were people coming in from about 7.30pm. Definitely recommend the tequila…take it Mexican style tho 😜

    As a Miami Beach local, I highly recommend Nathan's Beach Club! It’s an exceptional bar that offers an unforgettable experience for everyone. It’s the destination to kickstart your evening. I love going on Tuesdays for karaoke! During the weekend especially, this place is packed. The cherry on top is that Nathan's Beach Club is just one block away from another gay venue. Music is awesome too!

    Surreal place. At 8pm on Friday, staff outnumbered customers 5:1. By 10pm on Friday, it was about 1 staff member for 2 customers. Staff tend to hide behind bar, socialise with friends, look bored (often) or any other activities that avoid interacting with customers. There was one exception who was constantly checking if customers needed anything. Rockstar! Nice play list, pretty pricey drinks, comfy seating.

    I recently visited this establishment during my holiday to Miami Beach. My first night here my bank blocked my bank card for suspicious activity due to my traveling (from South Africa) so I couldn't pay my bill. The kind Manager (lovely blue eyes) allowed me to return the next evening to settle my account. Thank you for this, MUCH appreciated. Would highly recommend this establishment ❤️

    So my friends were in town and we decided we would try this place in South Beach it's way too small and super overpriced because it's the only gay bar in South Beach we decided to go to Fort Lauderdale to go to Wilton Manors where they had over 10 bars and great restaurants and everything is cheaper and so much more fun from now on we are all heading to Wilton Manors

    Even on a Monday, Norman's, errr I mean NATHAN'S, is a great local watering hole for people who just wanna drink and have a good time without the intensity that Twist and/or The Palace requires. If you luck out with a phenomenal bartender (Lucas or Richard) you're in amazing hands, but even the non-amazing ones (truth be told, I didn't go to them) are good! And the owner Nathan, is one of the most congenial and knowledgeable owners of a gay bar I've ever met. This is a place to visit in South Beach!

    Nice warm up bar in south beach . Bartenders are friendly . Staff that’s responsible for cleaning are also nice . Bouncer at front door can be mean and rude for literally no reason . He gave a disdain look and made a rude comment about my appearance last night out the blue . I guess he was having a bad night and wanted me to have bad one too

    Even for South Beach this club is too small and the crowd is kind of older and the drinks are way expensive I guess they're just trying their best but if you really want a great experience just head up to Fort Lauderdale to Wilton Manors it'll be worth the drive cheaper drinks and better places to go

  • 1/5 Johann Henriquez L. 9 months ago on Google
    The prices of the drinks were significantly higher than what I expected, and to make matters worse, they automatically added an 18% service fee to my bill. It struck me as odd, especially considering this fee was mentioned as being applicable to "parties of 0 or more people." This policy seemed unnecessary for a bar that primarily serves mixers and not fancy cocktails, and it left me feeling like I was paying more than I should have. Moreover, the quality of service provided by the bartenders was subpar. I encountered several instances where their attentiveness and professionalism were lacking. It's disheartening to see the decline in the service that was once welcoming. The atmosphere of the venue has also changed for the worse; what used to be a vibrant space now feels like an empty room with only a few available seats. I hope the management takes note of these concerns and makes the necessary improvements. As a patron, I believe it's important for a bar to provide good value for the prices they charge and to maintain a high level of service. Unfortunately, my recent visit fell short of these expectations

    The bar has moved location and address has not been updated anywhere. After getting dropped off I spent half an hour searching wondering if it still existsd and stumbled across it.

  • 2/5 Colin B. 1 year ago on Google
    Surly security at the door, tired, lacks atmosphere as it's just a large, empty room with just a handful of seats/tables down one side of the long room. You could be anywhere in the world... I'd go elsewhere and hope for a friendlier welcome!

  • 1/5 Samuel S. 1 year ago on Google
    I typically have had very positive experiences at Nathan’s but tonight I visited, had great banter with a bartender (Jose) who offered me a drink and assured me it was free. (He used the word free.) I was also offered a cocktail from a fellow patron which I think upset him. At the end of the night he charged me for his cocktail which he originally offered me. I don’t need a free drink but if you offer me one, stick to that. Such BS.

    Great place. We arrived around 9. It wasn't super busy but a great vibe. Staff was really friendly.
