17 Best Dive Bars near Fort Lauderdale

“Laser Wolf is a great local "Stranger Things" themed bar serving up a wide variety of cold brewskis. The walls are filled to the brim with nostalgic memorabilia from the yester years of the 00's. They frequently have food trucks that visit, ranging from tasty smashy crispy burgers, to their own fantastic taco express food truck (best hot sauce!) and even a legendary Geisha master shows up every now and then. Only negative thing is that they never have Sam Adams. Music could be better too. No reggaeton. Still 5 stars I think.“

“Margie was amazing. My brother, friend, and I are from Texas and I haven’t met anyone in Florida as nice as her. We’ve been to many places and felt at home and welcomed here!! She deserves a raise. Margie made us feel so welcomed tonight! She was the most welcoming out of anywhere we went these past few days!!!“

“An awesome place where everybody knows your name. The prices are very affordable and the Drinks are ice cold. Not to forget some good old-school Bartenders like AM Dave on the weekends at 7am. Sherbear and Kelly in the afternoon. Trace and Tim at night will ensure your favorite sports are on one of the 8 TV's.“

“i had a blast tonight with kat she was so much fun! its definitely an adult bar but if you like strip clubs this way more fun!“

“What a FUN popular dive bar to sit at and enjoy drinks. No fancy drinks here; drinks are reasonably priced and served in plastic cups. The barmaid was quick to take your order and bring your drinks and would always check up on you. It was crowded and it had a friendly crowd. It was a fun place with an open bar and a great view of the beach if you are lucky enough to sit outside, which we were. This place is cash only and has live music but does not offer food. The afternoon we were here had mostly an older crown. Great experience! And I would do it again if I am ever in this area.“

“Fun funky little hang out“

“Great old fashioned bar. There's a good selection of beers on tap. All the essential drinks are prepared by the bartender with a smile and they also have a daily specials menu and all your favorites like wings, burgers and fries, etc. I really enjoyed watching the NFL games at Artie's... Great place!“

“Best service and place ever. So many of our friends and family love, love this place. Coming from Minnesota I have a very personal connection when I feel at home and have an at home bar which is unheard of in south Florida. Terri and Dana make me and anyone else I'm with feel so at home.“

“What a Place to be on Halloween“

“Michelle was a such a sweetheart. My friend and I were staying at an AirBNB right next door, and we decided to check this place out. Service was great, she was so attentive and kind and even gave us a couple dollars for the jukebox. She recommended good food spots and a vape shop, and was so genuine and kind. Kept conversations going and was so helpful! Definitely made our trip better and if we’re ever in town again we will visit this place! One of the greatest people to come across in Hollywood. Give it a chance! Will not disappoint :)“
