a lot of fun

lot of twinks and straights hang out here but there are also tons of gay guys too. I liked it and it fun to let loose. Could be a little more trendy, but it's a niteclub

epic fail

When I was living in Calgary this was the only gay nightclub in the city and while ive enjoyed it, I definitely enjoyed the straight bars a lot more because they have better music. I live in Vancouver now and the clubs here make twisted look like a joke. The crowd here in Vancouver are more friendly then the regulars that flock to twisted. So many guys with huge egos but nothing to back it up with. Same goes for the creepy owners

The Dirty Truth about Twisted

Well, I happen to know twisted element throws giant sex parties by invitation only. I just think this is a place where you need to be very careful, dont go all alone. the music is not up to date its like retro music mixes the drinks are ok.. but its kind of sad, the same crowd comes here and all they want is sex, they go here to pick up and go home and have flings its gross, and on top of that ''everyone knows each other'' . Its a place where people will try to steal your boyfriend at your face, even if your a straight girl.
