I love the bartender April. Very relaxing.

The Village Well isn’t just a bar—it’s a ritual. Tucked just off the docks, this rustic watering hole has been a magnet for yachties for as long as anyone can remember. The weathered wood, faded charts on the walls, and just the right amount of nautical clutter make it feel like the inside of an old trawler that’s seen some stories.

The bartenders? Let’s just say they’re as easy on the eyes as they are quick with a pour—and they know how to handle a crowd of sunburnt sailors and marina misfits with effortless charm. The regulars might argue over who’s got the best sea tale, but everyone agrees: this place has soul.

And if you spot the owner? He’ll be in the corner, deep in conversation—always on the phone, always working some angle. But that’s just part of the charm. At The Village Well, you don’t just grab a drink—you become part of the legend.

Depends on whos working. If April is working you wont have to wait long and you also won't wonder if there is actually any alchol in your drink. Can't vouch for the rest of the crew after tonight...

While driving past this building, my car was damaged by a worker who was cleaning the roof. He was blatantly throwing waste materials straight down, without regard for the people and vehicles nearby. As a result, not only was my car damaged, but a woman walking her dog was also nearly injured. This worker didn’t even apologize or offer any solution—he simply turned away as if nothing had happened.

I demand that the management take action! This kind of behavior is unacceptable. I will also spread the word in all my communities so that people know what they might face and avoid this place.

This is a great place to hang while hitting the suds at the laundromat across the parking lot. Great environment. Motown playing in the jukebox at the perfect volume.

This is a great local spot if you are looking for low key authentic environment. We played pool and music from the juke box. It was recommended by our server at dinner that night .

Best gay bar in Fort Lauderdale. Always full of guys and hardly any women. So many men. So, so many…
