“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!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Awesome place! Awesome people! They are always hosting events and serving their customers with a smile on their face! The drinks are great, and the venue is always clean! I would definitely recommend stopping by if you haven't already!“

“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!!!“

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

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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“

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

“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“

“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 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.“

“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 have been looking for a more intimate place with live music and we found an amazing place here. We came sunday night to have a few drinks and listen to music my husband wouldn't get up and dance so I was seat dancing and your amazing Lisa came over and got me out on the dance floor, I haven't had so much fun in years. She is a gem, enthusiastic, fun , makes great drinks and we will definitely be back to see her and enjoy some more live music. Thank you“

“Great food, brilliant staff and atmosphere.“

“Our experience here has been nothing but amazing every single time. From the vibe to the hospitality and attention to detail, everything is always on point. The drinks are so good, always made to perfection, and the food is great for some small bites. Honestly, it’s the best spot to go for a couple of quality cocktails 🍸“

“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.“

“Great Music - Fab band with Steve Carter, Brad lead singer and rest of the talent on stage: 😀😀😀“

“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!“

“This place is amazing!! The bar tenders literally put on an art show and put so much passion in their amaaaaazing drinks! Joe and Enrique took so much time giving us history on how the bar became and what makes their cocktails special. The music was old school hip hop so nice and refreshing! The crowd felt grown and sexy. We will definitely be back. This bar should be so proud of them selves!“

“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! 🥰“

“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.“

“Good place to hang and unwind from work.“

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

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

“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.“

“awesome drinks great atmosphere.“

“AquaPlex in Fort Lauderdale is honestly that place right now. You can totally tell the talent is being supported by the new owners, because the quality of the show is next-level. Like… the drag is some of the best I’ve seen in years — these are top-tier queens, no question.

The performers were also super engaging the whole time — not just doing a routine and leaving, but really working the room and making it feel fun and personal.

And shoutout to our server China because she was AMAZING. So attentive, so sweet, on top of everything without being annoying (which is rare when it’s packed).

On top of all that, they’ve clearly put a lot of money into upgrades — the huge video screen is insane, the whole place feels festive, and it’s a serious glow-up from when it was Lips.

Between the show, the vibe, and the service… AquaPlex is 100% worth it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Food was great and so was the service“

“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!“
