What reviewers say

Visitors frequently praise Heat for its fun atmosphere, great staff, strong drinks, and enjoyable entertainment, with some calling it one of the best gay clubs in San Antonio. However, a significant complaint involves an alleged instance of discriminatory treatment by management towards patrons smoking outside, and some found the music repetitive.

About this place Heat

Located on North Main Avenue in San Antonio, Heat sits squarely on the Main Strip, the local cluster where the city’s gay bars tend to congregate. It’s a straightforward spot with two dance floors spinning different genres, allowing drag shows and competitions to run on one side while the other keeps moving. The crowd skews young and mixed. Hours are limited to Friday through Sunday, 21:00 until 04:00. The room fills up after midnight, and you should budget for a cover charge on those peak nights. Google ratings are lukewarm at 3.7 from over 200 reviews, so before you go, check social media to see what’s actually on for that specific weekend.
