Oz has won Dance Club of The Year and Show Club of the Year awards at the Gay Appreciation Awards voted on by the Gulf South readership of Ambush Mag year after year.

Once you experience Oz, you'll understand all the excitement. The greatest thing going for Oz is its location. Oz is located on St. Ann and Bourbon Street which turns into "Mardi Gras Central" during the weeks of Carnival and "Southern Decadence Central" during Labor Day Weekend. If you get to Oz early, you might be able to squeeze your way to the rail of their balcony which overlooks a crowd hungry for beads. A traditional chant is "show me your (insert body part here)!" Once the merchandise is properly displayed, the exhibitor is thrown a pair of beads. The biggest attraction at Oz is the dance floor.

The music is hot and the light show will amaze you. Another amazing thing to see at Oz are the dancing boys. On the weekends, OZ has some of the hottest men, take our word for it,dancing on the bar. The dancers will inspire you. And, once they get you worked up enough, you can burn off some of that energy on the dance floor.
