Dance, dance, dancing!!…read more If you want to move your body then Twist Social Club is the place to be. I first visited in October 2023 with some friends after leaving the MIX event at the CMA (museum). Twist had a 2000's music theme that night. My friends and I had a fantastic time dancing the night away. Fast forward to a year later to Saturday, 31 August 2024 and I'm back at Twist again for their white party for the labour day holiday. The 2024 labour day holiday white party was fun. I arrived at 10pm with a friend and we met 3 other friends there. We danced to a live DJ who spun tunes all night; however, I will say that some of the music choices were not the best because they were not ideal for dancing. At around 11:30pm is when the dance floor begun to be crowded. So as midnight approached, it became a bit uncomfortable to remain on the small(ish) dance floor so I moved towards the back by the bar. Although I don't drink alcohol, moving away from the dance floor towards the front door entrance by the bar was a good choice for me because I didn't feel as claustrophobic as I did when I was on the cramped dance floor. While I have been here twice, I don't know if I'll return because of how packed it gets and some dance floor behaviours by others was a bit much for me to witness. **** GOAL of 150 reviews in 2024 - 95/150 total reviews in 2024 - 744 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 29 September 2024

The space itself is a nice throwback to long-gone neighborhood venues, even considering the hazardously wobbly stool at the table I sat at. Even though I arrived shortly after opening, the owner remained seated at the end of the unoccupied bar and offered no greeting to a new face and potential return customer, nor did he offer any apologies for the bar's understocked inventory. I had to Google a recipe for the cocktail I tried to order, only to have the bartender give me a rundown of ingredients the bar lacked. After placing three different orders until I hit on something the bartender could manage and leaving a generous tip, I had to make a second request for iced water to go with my almost non-existent cocktail. Even at that, I had to get water from the tap because the previous night's crowd allegedly cleaned the bar out of bottled water and no one could be bothered to restock. I won't return and I won't recommend. UPDATE: Since I posted this review, the bar's social-media manager has engaged in a pattern of harassment, a threat and a libelous statement on Facebook. The most current, as of 23 Augsut 2018, follows: M&M Saloon: "Michael Alan all of that and I don't even care I been sold that bar. Not go hid under a rock you lonely queen. Still angry you can't get no black dick haha you're so sad you have no life. And you better hope I don't see you on one of walks around the neighborhood either don't let social media get you caught up! You never know who you could be talking to. You'll end up on the next news story hahah" M&M Saloon: Michael Alan this article is from feb 2017 way before the bar was even gay so sit your sad I google all day to find irrelevant dirt bag ass up.

The seating, particularly the limited number of high-tops, is the only thing I would improve. Give the place a try, but understand it's a bar first (with a bit of a divey feel) with some imaginative menu options (try the Reuben nachos).

Since all the speakers point at the dance floor, you also get the best audio in the whole venue. With about 25 singers, Lori the DJ used only the minimum necessary filler music so the rotation was as quick as it could be. You can expect to sing about 3 songs during the 4-hòur show. The club looks unimpressive from the outside, but inside it's clean, cozy and welcoming to everyone. There's a pool table, keno machines. The bar staff are attentive. Drink prices are on the low end. The restrooms are clean. They come in 3 flavors, male, female, and 2 private, large, unisex restrooms(which are also wheelchair accessible) The dance floor is set up for a great light show.
