“Super service et repas délicieux 👌je recommande.“

“I’ve always loved everything about The Village Grille!“

“Alejandro was an amazing server and had a great time with our table. Food was great, but one of the items was out and we had to request something different. Not Alejandro's fault and he made sure we were only charged what we actually ordered. Would definitely go again!“

“Nice location on Las Olas!
The atmosphere is great, and the frozen Piña Colada did not disappoint. The menu is a bit limited, so I just had the chips and salsa—not really what I was in the mood for food-wise—but I did enjoy browsing through the connected Tommy Bahama store and got some shopping done. Overall, a pleasant stop!“

“Great atmosphere, great food always consistent. Had 20 of my friends there for New Year's Eve dinner. Place was packed as it usually is. Walter the owner was greeting guest as they were arriving. We had a 7 o'clock reservation, once we got seated our server Angie started with our drink orders. Let me tell you the service was impeccable; she was great dealing with 20 of us. From appetizers to the main course our food came to the table hot and delicious. Some of my friends were there for the first time and could not believe how well the place ran for a busy holiday. I want to thank Marco for helping set up the reservation and especially Angie our server. Thank you, Walter, for your hospitality. Anthony's is my new favorite place. Happy New Year!“

“Had an amazing time here, the people are friendly and the music is nice. I didn’t know anything about kava or kratom but they were patient and told me all i needed with a few samples. If you ever go, just ask for Will he took very good care of my crew.“

“No food, but fun rooftop. Just be prepared to have to shuffle to the bar....packed but very upbeat. Not super diverse, but it is a mixed crowd which is good. DJ kept it popping. If you're in Las Olas Def stop by and shake something.“

“Breakfast is delicious. Cold glasses for the beer. Beautiful beach view and perfect location.“

“lugar donde puedes pasar un tiempo agradable... te tomas unas cerveza y la puedes disfrutar junto con una hamburguesa yo Les recomiendo la Black amb Blue“

“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.“

“Stellar atmosphere. Very cool set up where you can get craft beers, ciders, alcohol seltzer, and on specific nights they have exclusive specialty drinks. One drink minimum to play unlimited video games and participate in karaoke. They also are open late Thursday Friday and Saturday. They have different themed nights that are constantly changing. One of the best features is the live shows, sometimes live bands but mostly DJ's spinning Drum N Base music as well special Break Beat nights with many different popular local DJ's from the surrounding areas. Over all a great place to listen to music, participate in different video games tournament nights(example Tekken tournament) etc. As well they have very VERY friendly staff giving an overall welcoming vibe to a wide variety of patrons from all walks of life apealing with retro games as well as discounts for cosplay events. Basically there is something for everyone. Must be 21 and older to enter.“

“Our first trip to Ft. Lauderdale started at Monas. The moment we walked in, we were welcomed as a local. We have spent 6 out of 7 nights sitting in an atmosphere of fun, laughter, and great jukebox music. The bartenders, Jason, Dale, Marc and Dan were fantastic. This bar brings back the old world Gay Bar of male community. Take the time and skip the club. Close your grindr and meet people. Thank you Monas for making our Ft. Lauderdale trip amazing.“

“Nice group of people. Amazing bartenders like Frank and Juan. They make you feel like family. The drinks are on point. When you’re not sure what you feel like having, just ask Frank and he will come up with the perfect drynk. Love this place and go to gender I’m in WilMa.“

“My date and I had a great time! So much fun! Wonderful staff, good drinks, and loved the music!“

“A quaint little pub for both tourists and the locals. Yummy Strawberry Margaritas which if you get Will as your bartender he makes the best in the area and he has a charming personality. The food is delicious.“

“A fun family-friendly bar filled with pinball machines, cool decor, lots of beer options & a dog-friendly outdoor seating area. Moon Pizza Pie is connected to Satellite Pinball Lounge (basically the same establishment) and the pizza is out of this world! We started with the mega mozzarella sticks and meatballs with ricotta (we added fresh mozzarella to the meatballs) which were excellent 5-star appetizers but the Philly Cheesesteak pizza with garlic added & the Eclipse with Mikes Hot Honey added were absolutely phenomenal. I was blown away by the taste, fresh ingredients, excellent dough; we even ate the crust with our left over meatball sauce. Highly recommended!“

“Went there the year before last before for my birthday . May do it again this September“

“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!!!“

“Bartender physically attacked me threw me backwards came all the way from behind the bar because I was complaining to another bartender about this person grab my neck and threw me as hard as possible outside I landed on my wrist I have not only a broken wrist at this point but broken bones in my hands throughout this is very serious no one bothered to get back to me and I'm in the hospital for a broken wrist suing the s*** out of this club kept my keys and tried to charge some produce for over $1,000 on my credi“

“We just had dinner there and the food and the server was great but they lost our debit card from the table to check out. Instead of just saying I’m sorry and don’t worry about the bill they asks for another card. Now we are having to cancel a card they lost and running late to get my nephew back his broadway show tour at the performance arts center because we are looking for the card. Very dissatisfied in there customer service“

“Well my honest opinion and we have lived here 39 yrs. It's no longer a country bar. In your face drag 6 nights a wk. The large groups of Country Dancers are welcome at other bars. Hunters and Eagle bar.No drag.“

“I had an amazing experience at Cigar Republic, USA! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and upscale, perfect for relaxing and enjoying a great cigar. Danyelle was outstanding — she recommended a cigar that was absolutely perfect for my taste and made the experience even more enjoyable. She was knowledgeable, personable, and genuinely made me feel like a valued guest.

The selection of cigars is impressive, the lounge is comfortable, and the staff really knows how to create a memorable experience. Whether you’re a seasoned aficionado or just getting started, I can’t recommend Cigar Republic enough — and make sure to ask for Danyelle’s recommendations, they’re spot on!“

“What is this awesome place?! Kudos to whoever came up with this great venue, the cool menu and whatever system that is making this place the way it is! Bert was an absolute delight and definitely added to the experience!
The king Crab was great but the Snapper Pontchartrain was out of this world tasty! Just the right amount of spices and flavor, it was perfect!“

“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.“

“Great outdoor space that sits right on the Drive. Dog friendly, too.“

“fun time good drinks and friendly people“

“Вот более разговорный, с лёгким вау-эффектом:

Was just in the area and decided to check this place out — such a nice surprise!! The drinks are actually really good, a lot of flavors to choose from, and the vibe is super chill! The staff is really friendly and helpful, they made the whole experience even better👍🏽 Definitely didn’t expect to find a spot like this here — will be coming back for sure🙌🏽“

“I always love going to LIT Wilton, the atmosphere, drinks and vibe is always a 100%. The bartenders and literally everyone in there is always wearing a smile and carefree. The Music/Dj is ALWAYS on point! If you wanna have a good time, you have to go to LIT!“

“This place is going to be great! See the direction they’re heading. Great staff.“

“Great little bar inside the Riverside! If Monica is working, you’re in for a treat !!!“

“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!“

“Went to the Palm Room on Las Olas this Saturday, and once again had an amazing time. I’ve been here before and enjoyed it, so I decided to come back with friends—and it did not disappoint. The crowd is very mixed, which made us feel comfortable right away. The drinks were great and reasonably priced, and the music was on point. Definitely recommend checking it out.“

“It was my first time there and had a wonderful time. Great place and a lot of fun. I would recommend this place“

“I was ready to jump off a bridge And the bartender talked me out of it.“

“Cool vibe, comfortable chairs, and nice wait staff“

“The iconic spot for everything cool in Ft.Lauderdale.“

“Escape has a small bar with a limited menu, but it’s just perfect with the friendly staff, for snacking and cocktailing around the beautiful heated pool and sumptuous views all around from this rooftop location. It a secret pearl to be enjoyed.“

“What a great bar we found here at Fort Lauderdale Airport. We had a long wait for our flight home and found this bar to enjoy a beverage. The bartender Nate was awesome and met some fun people while sitting here. Stop by and check it out and tell Nate we sent you!!!“

“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.“

“Rhythm & Vine has a different social vibe. It's an open air courtyard around a tree, that has various types of seating around the courtyard and high top table seating. In the courtyard there are 2 food trucks and a Airstream bar. There is a side building with disco balls hanging from the ceiling where you can dance your feet off to the DJ'S beats. Rhythm & Vine is closed on Monday and Tuesday, check the website for their hours on Wednesday-Sunday. This is a laid back place to hang out friends and catch up. ID'S are checked at the entrance. Enjoy!!!“

“Great food and atmosphere. The owner is awesome“

“Awesome vibe, great drinks and service. Nice outside patio with Local food treats which are different every night. Also it's a Dog Friendly venue as well. I recommend to anyone. It's the New Hip Low Key Bar in Downtown Fort Lauderdale! A+++++“

“Great detail in the cocktails. Sophisticated drinks and gentle vibe“

“What gem to find. Definitely a locals bar, grab a beer and a shot..don’t start trouble, have a good time. How a bar should be. A perfect dive bar. Vendy was beyond wonderful. So fortunate to have gotten to talk with her. We came back two days in a row when we found out she was working ?“

“I RECOMMEND BUT BRING BACK RITA VALENTI AMD JONATHAN COWEN…..THEY’RE GREAT DJS“
