“Last time, I gave this place a good review. Now, not so much. As a local, my friends and I laugh at how bad the bar service is. It's like they go out of their way NOT to make eye contact. I just sat at the bar for 10 minutes, with a dirty bar in front of me and never got service. Bartenders have no sense of urgency. Staff needs a good wake up call in our collective opinion! Happens over and over again...“
“Had the pleasure of dining in at Anthony's Clam House. We come all the way from New Jersey just for the clams! Everything was excellent especially the linguine vongole and the Tuscan shrimp. The atmosphere is very nice. The service was awesome, we were blessed to have Angela as our waitress, she was a sweetheart. She checked in with us throughout the meal to make sure everything was good. 10/10 overall and I look forward to coming back!“
“I'm really picky, so I never have too high of expectations... but what a great meal! I saw reviews were good, so we just popped in.. we might've dressed a little less casually if we knew what a great vibe this place had. I loved the decor, the staff was amazing and attentive, and the food was fantastic. We may have to go back to Fort Lauderdale just to eat here again!!GET THE TAMARIND CHEESECAKE. It was seriously amazing.“
“I found spot randomly driving around and it seemed like a cool place so I came in by myself. An extremely polite gentleman invited me to the bar and took my order. The service was fast and professional. I ordered 3 street tacos and I got beef, pork and chicken. I was blown away at how delicious this food was. Easily the best tacos I've ever had. I also really enjoyed the Quvo Named craft beer. I was surprised to learn that the gentleman and woman serving me were the owners! I'll definitely be returning.“
“This place never disappoints. Very quaint and chill location to have delicious beers and tasty food.Large selection of beers you pick and serve yourself with a great food menu to enjoy your beers with.It's definitely a great place to visit if you are in the area.“
“We loved the food so much, every dish we ordered was very delicious. The service was great our waiter was so nice, professional and friendly . His name is Gian B. I highly recommended this place. My family and I were very lucky in our last day in Florida .“
“This place is a hidden gem. You can expect great service, a terrific atmosphere, warm and genuine hospitality, solid beverage options with signature drinks, and fresh tasty food. The live music doesn’t hurt either, and the crowd is friendly and upscale. I always have a great time at The Fitz, and thank God that it’s stumbling distance from my house. Highly recommend!“
“I’ve lived in south Florida pretty much all my life and there’s finally an amazing pizza joint here. 10/10 best crust I’ve ever had thank you. Will be a frequent customer I wish you all the success. Garlic rolls amazing, chicken wings yummy!!! Roni pie amazing!!“
“SOOOO MUCH FUN! we went in a big group of friends and literally came back a month later. Axe throwing was super fun and entertaining, got competitive too!! Our axe instructor was super nice too.Food is also super great! We got tater tots!!Great place for friends or date night“
“It’s a cool place, I won’t take that away from them. But I’ve been there a few times and there’s definitely an “in” crowd that seems to be there every time I go. Kind of feels cliquey. And I’ve asked for flavored tea a few times and idk if they’re out or just not listening but I end up with a non flavored tea that I just kind of accept and deal with. It would be nice if the bartenders or whatever you call them actually ask your name or say thank you after you pay them instead of just walking away. Just seems like there’s two rungs of service.“
“I dii oh d not see any food there BUT all you have to do is buy a drinks and you can play any game you want after that l. The drinks are pretty good too just be prepared to pay atleast 13 for each. Love this place and will be back! FYI- Bring your ID!“
“The Golden Lion Pub is our go-to spot for a reliable drink and a warm atmosphere. We visit a few times a month and are never disappointed. The pub is always bustling with energy, but William, the fantastic bartender, always manages to make us feel welcome and attended to. His kindness and attentiveness to every customer's needs are truly impressive. He sets the tone for a friendly and inviting experience. Keep up the great work, William! We'll keep coming back for more.“
“Short and sweet here. I will say if you're vegetarian, there's like no options besides the giant pancake that I highly recommend. Apparently there was a veggie burger that i did not see, so i can't give perfect advice here. Coffee man... there's not really any coffee that hurt, felt like I was coming into an Ihop with breakfast styled food but no real coffee. Anyway the service? Man, these ladies were trying so hard to keep the disappointment from me from spiraling just her excitement and positive attitude helped not dislike this place entirely.If you're gonna get anything, get the pancake! Best advice I can give.“
“We haven't been here in 7 years. It used to be a local spot on the water with good deals. They've done a little remodel on the deck, and now the prices are full on. Happy hour is Monday through Thursday and the deals are not that amazing. The views are still great, the food was okay.“
“I stopped by for breakfast, and had a very pleasant time . Staff was gave a warm welcome and were very professional. They offer fresh cold pressed juices, which was nice. The Garden bowl is a must try. Eating outside near the pool was the perfect start to the day !“
“We LOVE Joe!!!! My friend desperately wanted to play Pool so we stopped by this bar, not sure what to expect. It was one of those nights you expect to turn in early but end up having so much fun that you stay out for much longer. The bar has 3 pool tables, 3 dart boards, and some video games. Bring cash if you want to play pool! No beer on draft but a good selection of beer options. Joe was the only one working the bar and he made us feel at home even though it was our first time here. I think he is a huge part of why folks come and stay at this bar.“
“Went to this rooftop for a girls day and it was beyond my expectations. Everything about it was a 10/10. The food was absolutely amazing and the drinks were top notch. Had a few plates to share and into the sunset cocktail. The music and views were great. Cant wait to be back!“
“I thoroughly enjoy dining at this restaurant located alongside the New River in Fort Lauderdale. Sitting on the dock, watching boats pass by, adds to the charm. First, I savor my cocktail, and then I indulge in the particularly delicious appetizers.Today; my spouse, my son, my daughter-in-law and my grandson joined me for another visit. Once again, we sat on the dock right by the water. However, I must emphasize that making a reservation a few days in advance is essential; otherwise, securing a table can be quite challenging.Happy hour drink specials are available every day between 4:00 PM and 6:30 PM, and except for weekends, there are happy hour food options on weekdays. You can also visit for Sunday brunch from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM, although we usually come here exclusively for dinner.As always, we ordered a variety of starters to share. The Guacamole, Spicy Sautéed Shrimp, Crab Cake, Loaded Potato Dipper and Pepperoni Flatbread were especially delightful. However, I found the Steamed Mussels somewhat mediocre and not to my taste. Previously, there used to be a delicious octopus dish with a special sauce and potatoes, but unfortunately, it was absent from the current menu. When I inquired, I was informed that the chef had changed, and the dish was no longer offered. It truly was a starter worth trying, and perhaps they’ll reintroduce it after some time.Even if you’re not in Fort Lauderdale, I highly recommend visiting this restaurant if you’re in the nearby cities. Especially if you appreciate waterfront views and enjoy watching different boats and yachts pass by while dining, it offers a truly unique and elegant waterfront dining experience. Boaters can also dock their boats here for a meal.Wheelchair accessibility: Two handicapped parking lots are available just in front of the restaurant. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are a lot of paid parking lots next to the restaurant.“
“The DJ was great! The food was cold and the outfits that the girls were wearing were a bit trashy for the atmosphere. You can be sexy and classy at the same time. Bras and boxer shorts don’t really fit the aesthetic of the theme of the bar. I will visit again and give the food another try since the views are so beautiful and the music is great.“
“Very cool whiskey bar. They are "connected" by a courtyard to Quarterdeck, where you can order food, but we just got drinks. Very good drinks. We were pleased with the selection (which is so much more than just whiskey). We would come back. Great place to bring a date for a pre- or post-dinner libation!“
“Cigar Bar Republic is a gem. The owners radiate warmth, making you feel like family from the moment you step in. Their passion for cigars is palpable, and not to mention a great music playlist that sets the perfect vibe for a memorable experience. A must-visit!“
“Amazing place right in front of the water. Server are always happy and friendly. I come very often a couple times a month, piña colada’s are the best. Coconut Shimp without comparison. Always the best. And the oyster fresh as could be. I recommend if you around.“
“Excellent food, service and great atmosphere. The owner met us outside earlier giving us a rundown and the history of his restaurant which was nice. The four of us had steamers , a burger, mahi-mahi, beef fajita and jambalaya. Best jambalaya ever. We can’t wait to go back.“
“I cannot say one bad thing! I almost don't want to say anything because this place is so great, I want to keep it to myself! However, the word must be out because the vibe.... Awesome! The beer is cold and tasty and they have wine too. The food trucks are phenomenal, BUT THE WHOLE VIBE!! So welcoming and friendly! I come to town about 5 times a year and will definitely stop in each and every time!!“
“What a great place to ramp up or wine down for the night. Whether you are looking for amazing pre meal cocktails or a fabulous nightcap, Monica at Preston’s will take care of you! Sincerely one of the best bartenders I have had over my years of travel. Her personality, attentiveness and mixology skills are amazing! The next time you find yourself in Las Olas stop by Preston’s, listen to some beautiful piano music and most importantly pull up to the bar and have an amazing cocktail or two prepared by the outstanding Monica!!!“
“If I could have given 10 stars for each category, I would have. Had dinner there last night and have never been more impressed with a restaurant menu, staff, atmosphere... everything. Patricia was my waitress, and was an absolute delight to talk to and to provide us service. She gave us fantastic descriptions of just about everything on the menu, and quite frankly I wished I could have ordered everything because they all sounded great! When I asked her what she liked the most, rather than pick the most expensive thing on the menu, she chose a fish dish that I have no doubt would have been terrific. As it was, I chose the king crab, and my wife chose lobster and steak... and we enjoyed every delicious bite of both entrees. Patricia was promptly there with warm cloths for our hands, to ensure our meals were satisfactory, and to even take pictures of us enjoying the dinner on the patio with a fantastic view of the ocean on a gorgeous 78 degree evening. Again, I cannot recall a restaurant that I enjoyed being at more... and I have enjoyed many great restaurants. If you are ever in the Fort Lauderdale area, do yourself a huge favor and reserve a table at Tuluck's. If Patricia is working, do yourself another favor and ask to be seated in her area. You will not regret it.“
“This very unique old movie theatre vibe bar is a site to see if visiting the Las Olas strip in the heart of Fort Lauderdale. The inside has many movie theatre type billboards displayed around the top and a very relaxed velvet booth with the Palm Room logo displayed on the wall. The bathroom was clean too.“
“Everytime we've visited the area, its been hard to find a nice neighborhood bar. Most places are more like clubs. We were so glad to find Mona's. Everyone - the staff and the clientele- were so cool and welcoming. Dean was the best and the bar back (I sorry I never got his name). Dean went through the history behind the furniture and some of the art. It was a little out of the way but we're so glad we made the trek!“
“My husband and I had the calamari, yellow fin and red snapper dishes - all I can say is WOW ! So delicious! Best ingredients and quality fish - just outstanding- we are returning tonight for our final dinner in Fort Lauderdale- ? we will be back soon - this is an outstanding restaurant/ chef.“
“Just celebrated my 50th birthday at Fishtails for a long weekend and the food, service and atmosphere were amazing! We danced the weekend away with 80s and 90s bands, ate the most delicious seafood and vegetarian dishes, Sunday gravy with meatballs for the omnivores, Philly cheesesteaks, and had the greatest time with the owner Cathy! We are sad we had to go back home to Philly. Can’t wait to return to the sunshine state again and have cold drinks and delicious food!“
“Good breakfast . Nothing extraordinary but you have a complete breakfast. The service was good, they only brought me the bill with breakfast, a little strange when other tables didn't. I feel like they are not very friendly to Latin people.“
“Very good food and service. Excellent menu and feeling. The food quality was great and the experience is amazing. You feel you are in Germany. The decoration and atmosphere is very inviting plenty of parking and great place overall. Great location and certainly understand why these people have been in business for the last 50 years.“
“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.“
“If you like dive bars, well you found the dive of all dives. This place ambiance is grundge, late night,cash only, get drunk and forget your worries. The time I spent there the TV's had interesting media playing so if you're sensitive, not your place. The bartender was super nice and quick to serve you. No issues with patrons or service had a great time and will probably end up there again. But not on purpose.“
“This is a great little place and experience. You actually have to check in at the Fort Liquordale liquor store and get a card with a combination on it. After you enter the combination in the massive safe door you are able to proceed to the speakeasy. There you will find some pretty unique drinks and some pretty awesome food. The steak tartare was by far my favorite. It is definitely quality and the flavors are amazing. We tried quite a few other apps and they were all on point. This is a place worth checking out for sure.Parking: Parking is very limited so be sure to get there early.“
“I recently had the pleasure of visiting Rhythm and Vine, and I must say, it's truly a hidden gem nestled in Fort Lauderdale. From the inviting ambiance to the delicious array of craft beers, this place has quickly become one of my favorite spots to unwind and enjoy good company.First and foremost, let's talk about the beer selection. Rhythm and Vine boasts an impressive variety of brews, from local favorites to unique imports. Whether you're into hoppy IPAs or refreshing lagers, there's something here to satisfy every palate. Plus, the knowledgeable staff are always happy to offer recommendations based on your preferences.The atmosphere at Rhythm is another major draw. The outdoor seating area is spacious and inviting, perfect for soaking up some sun on a lazy afternoon or enjoying a cool breeze in the evening. The rustic decor and vibrant greenery create a cozy yet vibrant ambiance that's ideal for both intimate gatherings and lively group outings.Now, onto the only downside: the bathroom lines for women. While I adore everything else about Rhythm, it's impossible to ignore the frustration of waiting in long queues for the restroom. As someone who values efficiency and convenience, I hope the management considers implementing measures to address this issue, such as adding more facilities or optimizing the existing ones.Despite this minor inconvenience, I can't help but sing the praises of Rhythm. From the fantastic beer selection to the inviting atmosphere, it's clear that this place has a lot to offer. I'll definitely be returning soon, bathroom lines aside.“
“George runs this place like a classic car cigar bar/surf style place but no cigars and every kind of cool person you could ever meet! They have reclaimed furniture, are right next to a small taco place that will bring your food right over to the bar. We were there for 1:00 in the morning on a Wednesday night and he did not close until we were done. They have classic car and motorcycle shows there, definitely a must see!!“
“We celebrated my husbands birthday at Apothecary 330. We called a week before to make a reservation and they were a bit booked but did their best to accommodate us. The server was extremely attentive, gave us great suggestions and took care of our group. Definitely coming back.“
“We are trying all our local joints and are really happy with discovering Tap 42. Riley kicked butt as our waiter, the food was excellent, and my margarita was made fresh ingredients and delicious. Riley absolutely charmed our 3 year old and was well versed in the beer selection so my husband got the perfect beer.“
“Love this place. I think I over ate my last visit…lol. It’s best to go Happy Hour time 3pm to 9pm. I always get the shrimps and loaded mash. OMG!! The appetizers are delicious too. The crab meat dip with them little soft breads. Ummmm….You have to Go!“
“Was there for a private event and the appetizers were AMAZING. Beef Wellington…just leave the tray please!! The cocktails were not only delicious but the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly and really made you feel welcome. Will definitely be back!“
“We were promptly greeted. Very small menu with items that seem to be very well made. We had a salad and homemade ravioli. Both were excellent. We had a piece of flan (not on menu). Excellent!! The owner said to always ask for specialty items that may not be on the menu. Owner was attentive and very nice. Hoping to come back for the ribeye. Great music too. Take the side street and find this little gem.“
“Great location and atmosphere.This place has all the right ingredients for the perfect chill spot for me and my friends.Wheelchair accessibility: Some of us were able to bring our bikes inside, so the entrance is nice and wide, and there's plenty of room for wheelchairs to move around.“
“Service and atmosphere was amazing and the bartender Franky is the best she mentioned. They have a great half off happy hour as well as a great Christmas drink menu. Really enjoyed, it definitely going to be back next time I'm in town.“
“EVERYTHING about this place is so fun and lovely, the live music makes the vibes so immaculate! Our servers were very friends and our food came out SO soon too! Speaking of the food, it was delicious!! 10/10 would recommend to friends and family!“
“Kim the bartender is a LEGEND! Absolutely amazing atmosphere and you are family as you walk in the door. The filet bites are incredible. Best $12 steak you'll ever eat. I highly recommend stopping by this place and having a drink. If you're looking for a relaxed bar with lots of cool ppl, and looking to make friends for the night this is the spot for you. I cannot say enough good things about this bar. Thank you Kim for showing us an amazing time. We'll never forget this bar!“
“We had the best bartender. He had a smooth delivery to the secret menu scavanger hunt, and mixed delightful drinks. He said he used to work at another speak easy before and it SHOWS. We seak out speak easy experiences and having the mini escape room experience to fine the hidden menu was worth it. Thank you so much for the experience. Ps. To bartender. Hope you get the house in the mountains next to the river/stream.“
“Josie's Too is a dive bar. And if that's what you are looking for you have to stop in. We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a cruise but wanted some drinks the night before. Josie's was close to our hotel so we Uber'd on over. The bartender greeted us immediately and asked us where we were from etc. This is definitely a bar where everyone knows everyone. We told her we were just in town for the night and wanted a couple of drinks. She asked how we found them...if we had searched for a "dive bar." I laughed and told her that was exactly what I did! We had a blast during our visit. We spent a few hours drinking beers and chatting with the locals. Super friendly group and more than one of them bought us beers. I cannot remember the last time a stranger just bought me a beer to say 'welcome.' Oh, one more thing. Josie's is beer and wine only. Don't come here if you want a fancy cocktail. Do come if you want cold beer.“
“If you read nothing else of my review read this: Bring singles! Yes. These ladies are working hard and deserve every bit of "moulah" that you can hand them as they strut their stuff on stage and through the entire venue! I went with a large group of women for a recent Sunday Gospel brunch (Gospel brunch is back and is the first Sunday of each month) and it was a blast. There are two brunch sittings (one at 11:30 and the other at 2pm) and the energy that these performers have to have to do this show twice is crazy! For one set price, ($39.95) you get a choice of entree (there is an entire range of items from Eggs Benedict, to crabcakes to pasta) and then unlimited Mimosas or Bloody Marys. For a small upcharge you can also get unlimited frozen cosmos so know before you go! And when I say unlimited, they mean it as bottle after bottle of champagne landed on our table along with pitchers of orange juice. On the day I was there, the audience was made up of bachelorette parties as well as birthdays and just some people hanging out, but whether people were celebrating something or not, everyone came to have fun and this venue ensures that! The service is outstanding, the jokes are flying, and probably my favorite part was at the end when the "man in the mirror" segment was done. The entire experience last about 2.5 hours and my face still hurts from smiling the entire time. Well done, Lips!“
