18 Best Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale

“I can't fully express how exceptional this restaurant is. I organized a sunset cruise for a group of 24 guests, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the provisions (food) we were expecting. In a moment of panic, I contacted the owner, Jackson, and explained the situation, hoping for a backup plan within 30 minutes (sounds impossible 🥵). Not only did he agree to accommodate us, he immediately began preparing for us. Once we arrived, he and his team welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. Our table was beautifully set, complete with a customized and printed menu just for us. He chose 3 dinner options for our party and actually had custom printed menus! Wow!! Drinks, salad, and bread were flowing within minutes, and the food? Absolutely divine—without a doubt the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. To top it off, there was a live performer who was fantastic! Totally unexpected, we had no clue there was entertainment but such another great treat. She engaged with everyone, took song requests, and even invited guests to join her to sing. The entire experience, from the atmosphere to the impeccable service, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jackson even served our table personally and jumped in to assist his team, going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and special. He continued to check in and make sure we were ok and had everything we needed and accommodated every single request ❤️ I am incredibly grateful for everything. Jackson and his staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable evening. This special group of oncology nurses truly deserved a memorable night, and thanks to you, we got exactly that. Thank you so much for making it an experience we will never forget! 🥰“

“We had such an awesome experience at Rooftop @1WLO. Huge thank you to Nikki Taylor, who was seriously amazing from start to finish. Even though we reached out super last minute, she somehow made everything come together perfectly. She went above and beyond coordinating the table, handled all the details, and was so supportive with all the bachelor party logistics.

Also, the ambience up there is unbeatable. The lighting, music, and views all come together to make it such a fun vibe. The drink service was fast and friendly, and every cocktail we had was on point. The staff really kept the energy going all night, and it made the whole night feel effortless.

Couldn’t have asked for a better setup/table or a better person to help make it happen. Nikki truly made the night one to remember. If you’re planning something special or just want a great spot for drinks and good energy in Fort Lauderdale, Rooftop @1WLO is the place to go.“

“Had a great time and shout out to the bartenders! Fr“

“Freddie’s is a well-equipped a bar for sports enthusiasts: More than a dozen large screens can be tuned to multiple sporting events. As a bar, it had a limited but satisfying beer and liquor selection but offsets that lack of variety with high quality food. The wings are amazing, and there are lots of fried seafood, salads, sandwiches and burgers, all fresher and tastier than you’d expect. This is also a no frills bar for locals, a true neighborhood hangout worth getting to know even if you don’t live in the neighborhood.“

“One of the last Great place in south fl. to see good live original music.“

“My daughter took us to LULU'S over a decade ago... we are still patron the entire atmosphere is amazing. Took my cousin from NY she loved 2nd floor open terrace facing the beach concept. We both had CUBAN 🥪 SANDWICH it was phenomenal.“

“Amazing food! Highly recommend!“

“This is really my favorite hotel in South Beach. The property is right on the beach. There’s a nice pool, great beach, and accommodating staff. The decor is true Art Deco, but it’s at this point in need of some love. The rooms are starting to show wear. I was “upgraded” because of my status to a balcony room. The balcony was just big enough for a chair. No more. And the only window was the slider. Still the view was amazing.“

“Tischservice heißt an den Tisch setzen und warten bis jemand durch den Raum brüllt…🤣🤣🤣“

“The food was great and Heather our server was Awesome!“

“Located on 17th Street (in between a Holiday Inn Express to its left and an Embassy Suites to its right) this place provides the quality Carrabba's Italian dining experience. I ordered the chicken marsala - very tender chicken in their tasty mushroom marsala sauce. Their standard Sicilian chicken soup is excellent as well.“

“Love it Ah lounge 84 it is true no cap“

“We evacuated to Ft Lauderdale from Port Charlotte during hurricane Ian and stumbled upon this wonderful Sandbar Grill while in town. Service was so amazing the first night that we had to go back. Overall, the staff and the food and the drinks were amazing!!! Everyone was so friendly and it totally helped us keep our minds calm knowing that a hurricane was hitting our home town. Thank you for your congeniality!!!“

“Friendly staff. Food was great!“

“This place is very very fun! Beautiful dancers! Drinks are decently priced! The atmosphere is very Ratchetesque, gotta love it! Perfect place to keep the party going after everywhere else closes! They have pool tables and darts! The sound system is very good inside as well! Music is bumping all night and morning till 10am!!

Parking: On the weekends they only charge $5 for parking, the parking lot is small but i havent had an issue finding a spot yet. Not sure if there is other parking around or not.“

“I cannot give a rating for the food here because I didn't order any but the drinks are very good, especially during happy hour, so drink responsibly. This is a great neighborhood spot to go if you want to hang out with friends to watch a game, shoot some pool, or just chill. If you're okay with smoking then you will enjoy because sometimes it's a little bit smoky. They do serve food up to late at night and I do notice people getting takeout from here, so maybe next time, I'll try some. My last visit was late on a Sunday night and it was a mellow, moderate crowd. The music was though the jukebox but I think on Friday and Saturday nights they may have a DJ, but those nights are usually packed and too young of a crowd for my taste. They do have ample free parking and is accessible.“
