50 Best Bars near Lighthouse Point

“Brenda is the best great service and place is always clean great clientele“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Wow! This place was really something! It was a nerd's dream but filled with all sorts of different characters! We went during talent night and it was very busy. A lot of rap style music but other talent as well. But it was real talent! Not your amateur karaoke style talent night. We enjoyed the talented artists and also played magic the gathering at a back table. They have tables and bar space with video games available and a shelf of different games you can borrow to play. The drinks were delicious and fun too. They also offered cannabis drinks at 5mg and 10 mg. Loved everything about this place, would definitely go back!“

“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 stumbled upon Mona's during a Google search and it didn't disappoint..it has a divy vibe, friendly people...pool table in front..and a great outside front patio. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. Our amazing Bartender Mark was entertaining with fun stories and and quick wit. If you're in Fort lauderdale get off the drive and check out Mona's.“

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

“Came looking for a Cuban Sandwich while husband got a pizza a few doors down. Glad I stopped in! Excellent press and melt on it! Ate the whole thing in the car before getting back to the hotel. Great spot, delicious Cuban, perfectly made & priced. thanks again! 👍🏻❤️“

“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“

“It was our 22nd wedding anniversary and our server Alfred was truly exceptional and made our dining experience memorable! The General Manager - Bill, stopped by our table and congratulated us and made us feel welcome! The food was excellent and of a high quality! So many great options, in fact the crab cake was the best that we've had in all of our travels so far! We highly recommend this restaurant and it's well worth the price!“

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

“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!!!“

“fun time good drinks and friendly people“

“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 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.“

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

“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.“

“As far as tea strength goes, there’s not a single bar out here that even comes anywhere close to what I’ve had at this place. Not only that they have a very cool comic book vibe as far as statics go. the bartenders are great very engaging in most conversations and the patrons have been nothing but awesome. It’s kind of tucked Away in the back of a smoke shop, but I’m telling you this place is a little Diamond in the rough“

“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!“

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

“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 ?“

“Great place to have dinner in a great location, just steps away from the ocean and attended by such a nice staff. Great food, its a must“

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

“Great food, brilliant staff and atmosphere.“

“the people there are truly amazing“

“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!“

“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.“

“This was our first time coming here and we had so much fun. We went in as a group of 4 at around 7:30pm. We had multiple drinks each and ended the tab with $102 without tip. At around 8:30 is when we noticed more people started to come in. Once we left, we also noticed a sign that said they were at max capacity so definitely get there a little early. We had pecan old fashioned, stowaway, revolver in the martini cup, and the tall glass is the green hog. The stowaway and the green hog both came with a fire show. Our service was great and so was our bartender! Her recommendation of the revolver was amazing.“

“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.“

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

“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! 🥰“

“Good place to hang and unwind from work.“

“This was for a Tuesday night, had reservations online, got seated promptly.

Always a rarity to find live jazz and the band didn't disappoint, drinks were good, food was delicious, service was a bit on the slower side. Cant blame them, as the venue was full and it was only 2 servers between all the tables.

Overall was a fun and great night, can't wait to come back!“

“I had an amazing time meeting new people 💜🥰💜🥰“

“At Pipers, everyone always have a great time !
Was there last Monday for Karaoke and got to sing a Led Zeppelin song.
The KJ was very accommodating and even gave me some reverb !
Really had a great time !
😀👍“

“A Remarkable Experience Every Visit — Thanks to Ken at Karma Kava Bar

Karma Kava Bar has become one of my favorite places not just because of its welcoming atmosphere, but because of the exceptional service consistently provided by their outstanding kavatender, Ken. His dedication to hospitality is truly unmatched. From the moment you walk in, he greets you with genuine warmth, sincere attentiveness, and the kind of positive energy that immediately elevates your entire day.
In an industry where hospitality can often feel rushed or transactional, Ken stands out for his authentic care, professionalism, and mastery of his craft. He not only knows the menu inside and out, but he takes the time to understand each guest’s preferences and needs, ensuring recommendations that are thoughtful, personalized, and always spot-on. Whether you’re new to kava or a seasoned regular, he makes you feel comfortable, welcome, and valued.
What sets Ken apart is his ability to create connection. He remembers faces, conversations, and even the small details that make each customer feel appreciated. His service is efficient yet unhurried, warm yet professional, and consistently delivered with a genuine smile. He embodies everything a hospitality professional should strive to be: attentive without being intrusive, knowledgeable without being pretentious, and kind without expectation.
Karma Kava Bar itself is an exceptional establishment—clean, inviting, and thoughtfully curated—but it is Ken who truly brings the experience to life. His passion for the community, his commitment to excellence, and his ability to create a safe, uplifting, and enjoyable environment make every visit feel special.
If you’re looking for a place where the atmosphere is fantastic and the service is extraordinary, Karma Kava Bar with Ken behind the bar is absolutely unmatched. He doesn’t just serve kava—he serves comfort, connection, and kindness. People like Ken are the heart of hospitality, and he is a shining example of what makes Karma Kava Bar such a remarkable place.
Highly recommended.“

“We had the ULTIMATE Saturday brunch experience! Amazing food with an ELEVATED drag experience! The theme of the brunch was the movie, Wicked, and it was an immersive experience with comedy, fun, and overall slayage! Standouts were the hostess, Paris, performers/servers Naomi, Lolita, Armani, and. Cheyenne! Highly recommend the steak and eggs and....most importantly...the queens kept those bottomless mimosas flowing! We were never empty! HIGHLY recommend this brunch experience for a birthday, bachelorette, or to celebrate Life! The queens served in ALL WAYS POSSIBLE!!“
