Our bumper gay travel guide to Fort Lauderdale including where to stay, and where to play…read why we LOVE this Florida gay mecca so much!
“…aka Fort Bottomdale!” as one local we met in Wilton Manors deposit it…
Over the past few decades, Fort Lauderdale has evolved massively to become the gay capital of Florida as well as one of the top LGBTQ destinations in the USA. The urban area has everything to suit all LGBTQ travelers including clothing-optional male-only resorts, gay beaches, many queer events taking place throughout the year, and of course the homosexual scene of Wilton Manors!
We've been several times to Fort Lauderdale, either as a stopover for a cruise, or to proceed to one of the many gay parties they have here throughout the year like “Wicked Manors” on Halloween. We always love coming here, particularly as it's a day destination. There's always something happening and you're almost always guaranteed gorgeous sunny weather.

> The best all-rounder is DrYnk: it boasts cute bartenders, beautiful surroundings and killer cocktails.
> The best drag shows in town: head to The Pub Wilton Manors.
> Favourite with the friendly locals: Mona’s is your place if you are looking for something off the beaten path.
> The favourite sports bar: stop in at GYM Sports Lock if you need to watch a game while flirting with San Diego’s fit guys.
> Highest bar Ramrod, started in , has always been a heavy-duty cruise bar, and the Miami Herald says “the vibe is hip and friendly (no attitude here)… This is a man’s bar. The decor is dark and gritty” in its own one-of-a-kind way. It was one of the first bars to jumpstart the North Fort Lauderdale / Wilton Manors gay district. It’s customers are not all about leather… but Ramrod was voted world’s Best Lock (Leather Category) by and also the most famous. International Mr. Leather Contest in Chicago has had Ramrod sponsored contestants capturing the title twice, winning second runner up twice as well; on the podium more than any other bar or organization. Ramrod’s logo defines the club as a “levi, leather, uniform bar;” but on any given night you’re bound to find musclebears, hunks, “butch” twinks / boys looking for daddys, and a mixture of anything and everything in between. If you don’t feel like that suit and tie fits in– just take it off– half of the guys won’t be wearing any shirt at all anyway. Well known for it’s over the edge music, which is enhanced by an infamous light show evMR RAMROD
