Part of the Gay Fort Lauderdale Guide — bars, events & things to do.

Fort Lauderdale, Florida
Wilton Drive's mega gay nightclub and concert complex for circuit events.
The Manor is the big-room option on Wilton Drive: a multi-level complex of roughly 16,000 square feet, open since 2009, built around two distinct spaces. Epic Nightclub is the multi-themed club floor with a performance stage; The Manor LIVE is a glamour-styled concert hall anchored by a towering chandelier. Combined capacity runs to about 1,500, and the place operates mostly on a ticketed-event model rather than as a nightly walk-in bar. That means the calendar is the thing to check: circuit DJs, touring acts, Drag Race alumni, and recurring leather and fetish events all cycle through, with doors typically Friday and Saturday nights. When a name is on the bill, this is where the night ends up; on a quiet weeknight it may simply be dark. Worth crossing town for the right event, less so as a drop-in.

The complete LGBTQ+ guide to Fort Lauderdale and Wilton Manors — America's gayborhood by the sea with 30+ venues on Wilton Drive, Sebastian Beach, and year-round events.

We verified 32 LGBTQ+ campgrounds in the US, from 700-acre men's retreats in the Ozarks to a women-only resort in Michigan's Thumb. This guide covers every one we could verify from the campground's own website: who's welcome, what clothing optional means there, what you can sleep in, what it costs and when the season runs.

Florida's gay resorts are spread across five cities with very different styles. Here is the statewide picture: which cities have clothing-optional men's resorts, which have gay hotels anyone can book, what each one's own site says it costs, and where to go deeper.

Fort Lauderdale has ten gay resorts and guesthouses, most of them men-only and clothing-optional, split between the beach side and Wilton Manors. Here is each one, what its own site says about pools, policies and rates, which ones sell day passes, and the all-welcome beach hotels to pick if you want the ocean instead of a walled garden.

Every gay and lesbian cruise from November 2026 to February 2028 in one sortable table, with ships, ports, real fares and sold-out status, checked on the operators’ own sites.
