The buzz: It's a welcome alternative to Soi 2, providing an even harder, more intense clubbing experience. The acronym stands for Guys on Display, which could either be you, with your shirt off on the dancefloor, or any of the four muscled hunks that bare all (or almost) nightly. There’s also a cabaret drag show at midnight.
The décor: On the ground floor, devilish flames lick the stage and bar while a single gilded cage sits on the dancefloor. You’re in hell, baby. Climb all the way to the 3rd floor and you’re greeted with a lot of white and silver. This must be heaven. From there, walk the circular balconies for a downward view on the sea of bodies below.
The music: Thumping happy gay house mixed by a rotation of three DJs (Max, Peck, and V) should keep you high as a kite to the very end.
The crowd: “Anything in a sweat, shirtless, high and drunk,” according to diva-manager Loulou Ferrari, which could be insomniac flight attendants, locals “who seem like partying is the only thing they do in life” or just tourists. One thing is sure: no boy scouts.
The bill: Entrance is B120 (one drink) before 1am, then B240 (two drinks). Inside, drinks are B120-145, bottles B1,550-1,850 (no scotch though, only bourbon) and mixers B50.
Why you’ll come back: The place used to close at 5am but right now, things are a bit tricky. Still, G.O.D is definitely the place to go for late night clubbing. It’s gay, busy, hot, and loud—the way a good club for boys who like boys should be.
