South Beach Houston
This sprawling space is a queer fun zone! With incredible live performances, amazing DJ sets, and wild laser light shows, this club stands out as one of Houston's best LGBTQ+ party spots.
Some of the world's most famous and most fabulous drag queens have performed at this Miami-themed club. Bianca Del Rio has been known to frequent and spends plenty of time taking photos with her adoring fans!
Dance, kiss, and laugh underneath the shimming chandelier that adorns the ceiling of the dance floor, casting glittering light and magic around the room.
Everyone will feel welcome to express their truest selves here on the dance floor, and you're sure to leave with more friends than when you walked in.

ATTITUDES ON THE BITCH...
WE loved the environment, Loved the light show! But hate your Staff. Like an infection simply (Rotted ) Get over your self! Say Pop and get your head out of your ass you guys are not all that! (bar tenders) this review is for You!!!!!
HORRID! Go to Blur ... or the BRB!
1. Rude staff. The jerkbutt, asswipe, goosefart, overbearing loudmouth at the front door who screams out "GET OUR YOUR ID OR YOU GO TO THE BACK OF THE LINE? LIKE FREEZING OUT HERE? WELL DONT HAVE YOUR ID OUT MY FRIEND!" [ I was in the Army for six years and the bedstain at the front door doesn't even rate a 'huh?' ] 2. Rude Bartenders. WHERE in the world did the "JR's Family" get these people? Almost every bartender (except for a cute blond kid on the back bar) seem to have the same body language as the apparatchiks at JR's: GO AWAY. Rude f----g bartenders. 3. BAD music. The music at SOBE is bad, very bad. The remixes are not even top 40, 20 or 30, but combination (read: cheap) remixes that you have never heard. Madonnarama was a joke (and a waste of a good $25). Fire the DJ! 4. Straight girls! The straight girls take over the dance floor after midnight! Run for your lives! They wear their big, gawdy Louis Vitton purses on their shoulder ( which have a tendancy to hit you in the FACE ), high heels ( which feel wonderful striking your foot ), and loud obnoxious behavior. [ "OMG! OMG! OMG, like I just LUUUUUV my gay men! OMG OMG! ] Str8 women, we love you ... but please, stay at your own bars. 5. Str8 Dick Dancers. ... who scope out the str8 girls at the clubs. I love this. Str8 men at a gay club who are nearly naked. Why not gay men as dick dancers? GO SOMEWHERE ELSE! SOBE is a joke. Its the worst club in Houston we've ever been to. And, if you read the other reviews here, dont get me started on the "18+ night" where the tweekers come in and run rampant over the club. No thanks. We no longer go to SOBE, unless we are dragged their by our str8 friends. I would rather stay at home with lube, porn and poppers....
Great time on New Years Eve!
Actually a great time everytime I go. Got the Limo from exclusivetransportation.net (say NO to drinking and driving!) Everyone was comfy and we hit the road! The music is always fantastic at South Beach and Rich's... Not sure which I like better? Anyway, spent some time at South Beach, got back in the Limo and headed to Rich's! It was a great night and everyone made it out alive!
Why bother.
This must be the best thing gay houstonians have ever seen. And yet, it's a mediocre club. "The biggest disco ball in Texas"! WTF?? The music is ok, but the staff in general are rude with no manners at all and zero social skills. Anyway, go if you want to check for yourself. My advise: Why bother?
Cool place
The door staff is extremely rude but the boys late on Friday and Saturday night are the hottest Houston can offer.
