This place is fun

I don't know why people are so bitchy with their reviews. I think that the main problem people have is that they don't have a choice as far as gay nightclubs, since Twisted is the only viable option. People are dissing the DJ for not being some hot young guy spinning, and then they go and argue that Twisted isn't warm and welcoming? Like, that's so contradictory, shut up. But anyway, I've gone several times, the music is actually really fun, I hardly ever have trouble dancing. My only problem with this club is once while standing in line, the owner came out and like, did the most aggressive ass grab I've ever seen to the guy right in front of me, and I was just really nervous and didn't want him to do it to me haha. But overall, this place is great. I like it more than Play in Edmonton (the dance floor's a lot beter at any rate).

Twisted

It's a good bar, with cute staff. Especially the bussers. The one that looks like Adam Lambert, is an amazing kisser! I have fun when I go, but the music is really repetative and old. To stand out, you can't just play top 40... he has his good nights though, where he really reads the crowd. Come have a good time... you'll see me kickin it old school on the dance floor.

ALWAYS A BLAST!!!

I've been going to twisted For years now and it's still just as much fun as when I first went. Hadn't gone for a while but they must have renovated cuz its so different, the place looks awesome and there is so much more space now. Staff are always very friendly, not to mention sexy, and are very accomodating and welcoming to all my straight friends who sometimes will come out with me. The music is great and the drag queens are fierce, and always so many gorgeous boys. Oh, and I love their theme parties!! Highly recommend twisted whether you are gay or straight or even just passing thru Calgary.

Whats the problem?

So i don't understand people? Whats the problem? I have been going to twisted now since the day it opened? As i read the reviews i wonder which night club you ppl are talking about? Everyone is so negative! I think twisted is a great club! I travel a lot and have been to almost every gay bar in Canada. Name one other club that has as much lighting or as good sound! The club is clean! Have you people ever been to the Barn? Odyssey? The gay bar in Regina? Twisted is way cleaner then those clubs! The music sucks? Really? 90% ppl love the music! If the music is so bad why is the dance floor packed every night? If the club is so crappy why is there always a massive line ups on Saturdays? Clearly there are a lot of people who love it there! The vibe is great, never fights, everyone is always friendly and in a great mood. There is a nice amount of strait people with the gays. Which shows that it is a very easy going accepting place. So i don't understand what everyone is talking about? Why be so negative? And if you hate it so much why go? Just means one less person in the line up and one more person enjoying the club inside. Check out some clubs in other cities before your so hard on the one in this COMMUNITY we have.
