That's why 10Best has scoured its resources for info on all the best places for the queer men and ladies and enbys who just want to go out and get a drink with other folks with whom they might have more in common. Willy's Neighborhood Bar (Wynwood, Miami)

Address: 318 N Clark St.

Chicago, IL 60660

A recent addition to Wynwood's gay bar scene, Willy's Neighborhood Bar is an eclectic gay bar offering casual vibes, drag shows, RuPaul Drag Race watch parties, and plenty of LGBTQ community. In short, it doesn't really get much better (or more Miami) in town than spending a night in the sea-level city's only real Basement.

Priscilla's expert tip: Check the calendar for events (there's literally something going on here every night).

One of those is the Women's White Party. Long gone is the heyday of the Nineties, when queer culture hit the mainstream in a new way, and clubs like Warsaw Ballroom, West End, and Kremlin dominated the nightlife.

Looking for something a little less nightlife-related? Whether you're looking to lounge under an umbrella, take a dip in the warm waters of the Atlantic, or flirt with queer locals while enjoying the sunshine, 12th Street is the place to be. DJ's provide the music on most nights while local funk and reggae bands and other national acts set the scene on others.

Touting themselves as the #1 South Beach LGBTQ+ bar and restaurant for 36 years, there's no debating its designation as one of Miami Beach's best gay bars. For those looking for a slightly more composed evening, you can always come by on Noches de Cabaret, where you'll enjoy a comedy and well-choreographed performance by Poison Ivy, Teresita "La Caliente", Josefina "La Globos" and the Queen of Comedy, Mariloly.

Priscilla's expert tip: Although the main event is where it's at, try to hit up at least one of the other before or after parties. When hard times prompted Score to shut its doors for good, the brand reinvented itself to become a gay nightlife experience, taking part in a variety of venues all across the Magic City.
