Twist

Twist sits behind a simple, unassuming storefront at the intersection of Washington Avenue and Twelfth Street, distinguished from its neighbors by a bold, monochromatic sign. While other venues in Miami Beach shift their identity with the seasons, this club has operated for decades as a split-level complex with multiple bars, each housing a distinct dance floor and vibe. In the nineties, Richard Trainor and Joel Welty opened these doors to provide a space where the local community could gather without pretense or velvet ropes.
