“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“The atmosphere is always super chill, the drinks are consistently great, and the staff makes you feel right at home. I’ve tried a few different kavas and teas here, and everything has been top tier.

Special shoutout to Sami, truly the best bartender! She’s always friendly, attentive, and knows exactly how to make the perfect drink. Her energy adds so much to the place. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re looking for good vibes and great drinks.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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🙌🏽“

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

“Friendly staff and great service“

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

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“Don’t sleep on this gem lives up to all expectations“

“Great food, brilliant staff and atmosphere.“

“Absolutely incredible experience at Hidden Speakeasy.

From the moment you walk in, you know you’ve found something special. The atmosphere is elegant, intimate, and perfectly curated a true five-star vibe. The food is fantastic and the cocktails are some of the best in Fort Lauderdale, crafted with clear attention to quality and detail.

What truly elevated the night, however, was the service, especially from the bartender Jordan.

Jordan didn’t just make great drinks he elevated the entire experience. His knowledge, attention, and genuine hospitality made everything feel effortless and memorable. He has that rare ability to recommend the perfect drink and make guests feel welcomed without ever trying too hard.

Great venues are built on great concepts, but people like Jordan are what make them unforgettable. He’s clearly a tremendous asset to Hidden Speakeasy.

If you’re in Fort Lauderdale, this place should absolutely be on your list.“

“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!“

“Went to drag brunch on a Sunday. The show and food were DELICIOUS!!! The girls! They ATE! and damn, so did I cause those pancake and grits were just like my mommy’s from home in south ga. Go here for drag brunch you will not be disappointed!!!“

“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!“

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

“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! 🥰“

“Wonderful, close to home, friendly in and out seating, delicious drinks. I love that I can walk there! Love it!“

“Great new bar with extremely friendly owners. Also has a back patio to smoke. Highly Recommend. Currently have 2 dart boards and plans on a pool table. Bathrooms were spotless as well as the entire place!! Will definitely be going back.
Also, has parking in front rear.“

“Such down home goodness and souls stirring musical performances by the one and only Valerie Tyson and blues band are lit 🔥. Come drop in on Tuesdays @The Blue Jeans 👖 Blues.🎸 It's a mic drop!
You won't be disappointed!🕺🏾💃🏾 Truly it🎤 is always a vibe.“

“Carolina is the best Kavatender hands down! She makes her own kava/kratom creations which I strongly recommend for you to ask she will be happy to serve you and she is super sweet and attentive. She brings a great vibe to this great place which makes it even greater! You will meet very nice, friendly people with great stories. Happy Hour all day Wednesday and daily happy hour specials. Definitely come down if you want a good conversation, play free pool, do work on your laptop or play games on your laptop. There is something for everyone!

Edit: How could I forget the wonderful Tori! She is so sweet as well and she remembers your name; customer service skills and knowledge on point!“
