There may or may not be some adult videos going on in the background (but uh, keep an open mind). Drinks are limited to beers and wine (but they're relatively inexpensive). There's usually a cover, so be prepared to shell out a few bucks (this IS practically the only male-oriented gay dive bar in town, after all). That said, if you know what to expect, you're liable to have a great time. Please don't expect any red carpet treatment here.
But when you're simply in the mood to be in a dimly-lit dive, Jamboree is where you need to be.

The ones that have been around for decades, that everyone knows (even all our straight friends). Despite Miami's rep for being one of the most gay-friendly cities in America (okay, we've got nothing on San Francisco, but we're still gayer than, say, Tuscaloosa), finding a good gay bar here can sometimes be a complicated dance.
