50 Best Bars near Lighthouse Point

“Great place, best feeling ever!! You feel like you part of the family!! We are new in the area and they made us feel at home right away!! Obrigado Mauricio!!“

“Anthony’s is simply great! They were able to accommodate us with a last-minute dinner reservation, and as always, the experience did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch—Diana in particular was amazing! The staff is consistently attentive and friendly every time we visit. Tonight, we started with the Calamari, Caesar, and house salads. For our mains, we had the Mussels in red sauce, Eggplant Parmigiana (do yourself a favor and ask for it with the Bolognese sauce—absolutely worth it! Thank me later!), and the Mussels & Clams in champagne sauce. We wrapped up with a perfectly done Crème Brûlée for dessert. The drinks are strong, tasty, and always hit the spot. Every dish was delicious, and not a single complaint from anyone in our group—which is rare! We’re already looking forward to returning soon.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Have been many times great space to relax and chill great music. Pizza is great…had a slight misshap last night but the manager was so wonderful and handled situation great!! Will continue to support and recommend“

“Great times! I will be back!“

“What a great way to blow off some steam!!!! The atmosphere is great and the staff are wonderful to work with. The check in process is simple and fast so get ready for some fun times with colleagues or friends.“

“Fabulous food & friendly informative service. Celebrating our anniversary- was presented with a complimentary dessert to share that was a lovely surprise & absolutely delicious Will definitely return when visiting Fort Lauderdale again“

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

“Love the atmosphere, the vibes and it’s a great place to unwind and play some video games or a great place to listen to a live dj. The owners are just wonderful. The bartenders know their stuff and are friendly and welcoming. Definitely worth checking out.“

“Very nice and cool chill spot. There's a bar on one side and a very intimate cigar area on the other side. I am not sure if there's food, as I only had a drink and two cigars. But there are some options for food within the same plaza. Parking is metered. Service was good. Very helpful.“

“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!!!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“great place. We have a great time there with our friends and we meet super nice people.“

“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! 🥰“

“Stopped in tonight because I passed this place a few days ago and their sign and colorfulness caught my attention ... the reviews are so positive and so accurate! This establishment is 100% positive vibes and chill....I came by myself but forced my corgi to tag along....we hung out on the patio - just us two- and enjoyed the peacefulness of the night (it was midnight) and the good music playing. Jason, the bartender, was so cool and welcoming! The other guests in there were so chill and friendly. This place deserves all the hype it receives. I can honestly say that I really will be coming back just because the vibe is so chill and I felt welcomed. 🤍 Important piece of info that I had no knowledge of until it was too late - if using a card to pay, $10 min payment which is 100% normal BUT TIP CANNOT BE LEFT ON CARD PAYMENT. So please have cash on hand to tip your bartender. I felt so embarrassed and Jason totally tried to make it a non-issue but to me it is an issue...that's his livelihood and he deserves all the tips! This is a great little spot and I'm really so glad it exists!
(straight gal here - don't think this is really a crutial piece of info but for the sake of skeptics out there just wanted to note)“

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

“Great place friendly staff good prices Maryellen is an amazing bar tender very friendly. Open till 4:00am what more can you ask for? Will be looking forward to going back soon.“

“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.“

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

“I had a wonderful experience at The Green Hat Bar! The atmosphere was incredible, with a cozy and intimate vibe. The bartender was exceptional, delivering not only outstanding service but also crafting some of the most delicious cocktails. Overall, I highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique and memorable night out.“

“I was here tonight where a lady didn't like her food. I watched the owner and bartender try to resolve the issue immediately for her, with professionalism and pose. The food I had was incredible, not sure what she had. But all I know is, if I was them, I wouldn't have maintained my composure for nearly as long. It was my first time here, and definitely seemed like a stray crazy person on Christmas evening. Pricing is fair and low, ambiance is very family oriented, like a strong community. Fantastic northern bar. A gem for the south Florida community.“

“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 ?“

“best bartenders ever! espresso martinis are incredible!“

“Try the Orange Creamsicle, it really tastes like one.“

“Hands down the best bar I went to in Fort Lauderdale. The owners were so friendly and they even allowed me to bring my dog. Can’t wait to go back!“

“Best rock bar in town! Fans of live music live this place. From Classic to Modern, soft to hard, there's a rock band for you here every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Friendly bar staff with never a long wait. No kitchen but they do have free popcorn!

Parking: Next door to Aldi's supermarket“

“the people there are truly amazing“

“Good place to hang and unwind from work.“

“Great food, brilliant staff and atmosphere.“

“Basically Irvin the Bartender is one of the sweetest barkeeps I have experienced in Wilton/FTL. He clearly had my back, and made me feel safe. Last but not least, he made an incredible Long Island Iced Tea that was very reasonably priced. Wait did I mention that he is a Smokin Hot Bear while remaining humble and approachable. Excuse while I sing, the songs I requested are about to play…“

“The resort was better than expected. Check in was effortless.. Patrick was awesome. Bed & pillows extremely comfortable. Air conditioning ran perfectly. Shower was huge & worked great. Room was a decent size. Coffee shop & breakfast place was absolutely delicious & huge portions. Beach was so beautiful… beach chairs & towels with optional umbrella brought out to the beach for you. They even had several games in the lobby! We will definitely be back. Also, so many things within walking distance, bars & restaurants or shops.“

“We had so much fun at the inauguration party!! Drinks were fabulous, Food was great!“

“Brady's Pub have a beautiful atmosphere beautiful people there and the bartenders are great Michelle Lisa Sabrina Cindy the great women. I am the captain of the pool team there Ron McCloud. it's just a beautiful atmosphere and it's fun 😊“

I will be back.. to the chocolate drop who paid my membership fee, thanks Boo! We will party again, My Friends!Danielle“

“Beautiful views of the iconic pompano beach pier and ocean! Fire pits for those cold evenings. And they have the BEST event planner!!! Her name is Vanessa! Sweetheart rockstar for real!“

“Absolutely excellent! This place is a little gem in South Florida nightlife! They have live music from excellent local artists who raise the energy in the place to the roof! Make sure you catch Dottie Kelly & The Rock the House Band when they play! They are absolutely amazing and they perfectly suit the very cool venue. The food and drinks are excellent and the staff and servers are awesome as well. I highly recommend this place. Go there and experience it. There are few real live music venues anymore. Places like this are a must in order to keep real music alive -and the way it should be experienced, and that is live!!!!!!“

“I hadn’t been there in about a year but went recently a couple times in the last 2 weeks and had a great experience. The new bartenders are such a refreshment compared to what was there previously. The long haired guy in the pics posted, and also the taller guy with glasses really made the place a good time. It was slamming busy and myself and no one else seemed to wait long at all for any refills - they were rocking it. The long haired one recommended the mahi tacos and it sure didn’t disappoint. I’ll definitely be going back!“

“Super friendly bartenders and a nice crowd. Sunday night entertainment always great fun. The manager Shelly is the best!“

“Great place with great food and music“

“We attended the Sunday night 80/90s themed show and we had a blast. Show was very professional the experience was top notch and the facilities were very tastefully done. The dinner that was provided as part of the show was fantastic and we definitely were not disappointed. Our group of 5 each had a different dinner each selection were great from the fall off the bone ribs, the salmon, the ahi tuna and lasagna. We did show up early and the happy hour drinks were a great value, were very tasty and strong. The drinks go down easy so definitely plan for a designated driver. The show was top notch and everyone had fun with lots of audience participation. Great place to celebrate birthdays and the like and they can accommodate large groups. We will definitely return as the evening is a fantastic value with the high quality dinner included. Don't forget to bring lots of ones for tipping.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor muy buena atención,“

“I have visited this establishment a few times. Tony and Rachael are my go to’s. They make sure that everyone is taken care of and that you feel like you are a part of the club. Even if its crazy, they take the time to meet and take of every customer. Rachel = 5 *****“

“The chefs, mixologists, servers are on TOP of their craft. Excellent experience each time we visit.“
