21 Best Beer Bars near Margate

“Dawn and Jeannette really made us feel welcome. Great service. True American neighborhood bar. You don’t stay in business over 40 years for nothing. No food but that’s ok, we were there for a bevy. No fluff. Great Bose sound system. Thanks “

“Some of my favorite places to eat are restaurants that transitioned from food trucks as is the case with BMC Smash Burgers. BMC Smash Burgers began in 2021 as a popular food truck, Eat BMC operated by Jason "Jay Rok" Smith. In August of this year the brick-and-mortar location of BMC Smashburger opened on Dixie Highway in Oakland Park. Smith has taken smash burgers, thin beef patties cooked on a super-hot griddle to a new level of deliciousness. The burger is pressed with a spatula, to increase browning and crispy edges for maximum flavor. The smash burger technique is said to have been popularized by the Smashburger chain founded in Denver in 2007.

I finally got the chance to try BMC Smash Burgers after visiting the Small Biz Saturday Local Makers Market that was being held across the tracks. Parking for the restaurant is limited but I found a strip of free spaces across the street. The inside is no frills with a few tables and two more out front. You order at the counter and they brought my food out to me when it was ready. While I waited for my meal I was able to watch cooking in the open kitchen.

The menu features the smash burgers that made them famous but it also has a patty melt, hot dogs, tots, and fries. Dessert is a fresh baked cookie. You can't go wrong with the BMC Smash, a house blend patty of chuck-brisket-short rib blend , grilled onions, American cheese, BMC sauce, and house pickles, or take it up a notch with a Spicy BMC Smash, which start with the classic BMC Smash Burger and adds pepper jack cheese and house-pickled jalapeños.

I ordered the single BMC burger with fries and I was not disappointed. The flavor packed burger had crispy, lacy edges while still remaining juicy in the middle. The house made pickles are chef's kiss and the BMC signature sauce was the perfect topping for the burger while also making an excellent dipping sauce for the fries. It is easy to see why so many lists have named BMC smash burgers as the best in Broward.“

“Revelry is one of the best gifts Pompano Beach has received in a long time. Start with the ambiance, which is creative and fun, with a touch of maximalism and whimsical decor, follow with the food which is just so freakin’ good and creative, it’s just A+++ And then there are the drinks…unique and perfectly balanced. They have this lady craving a whiskey drink (Stockholm Syndrome) and I usually truly dislike whiskey. The service couldn’t be better, helpful and attentive, but not hovering. If you are looking for a place for conversation, I would recommend going before the live music events. But if you are into music, you don’t want to miss that either. Parking is free and easy. The owners and all the staff have great pride in their work and it really makes all the difference. All in all, Revelry is one of my favorite places to meet with friends drink and good times. There’s a lot more I didn’t describe, but you will need to go and discover it for yourself. You can thank me later. ;)“

“Jonas has a lovely way of dealing with customers and making us feel special. The fried chicken bao buns are my go-to choice.“

“The best German restaurant in the state. Bring back EDDY!“

“Taryn was funny and a great server. Made our first experience a night to remember. We’ll be back!!“

“Stopped in for a quick slice and sandwich on the way back from Delray and a pit stop at Mizner Park across the street. As a NYer my standards are high but this hit the spot for a quick in & out. The pizza is exceptionally flavor full and the buff chx hero is fantastic. Will be back when I’m in the area for sure.“

“Friendly service. Nice space. Free parking. Vegan options. Only thing was, the one and only time we ate there, our veg burger and fries were barely tepid when they arrived, like they'd been sitting out for a while. That was disappointing. But we'll give them another shot.“

“I was truly served in every way of a superb dining experience. Jhaila and Rose, though very young, waited on me with the grace and charm of award-winners they will surely become. I predict a great future for the store and staff. Seek this place out! I came for Game Stop and stayed for the prosciutto and brie.

Parking: Park near the Container Store, enter through there.“

“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.“

“The people working there were great. The "stuff"...ALL GOOD. The little lady working there ...not so much. I found her irritating and too rough around the edges for this kind of business.“

“Great meal and great service with Amanda! Highly recommend! The mahi tacos and the conch fritters were great!“

“Visited for dinner on a recommendation. It was delicious!!! I had the crab cakes with sweet potato fries and my husband had the lobster roll and fries. Nice breeze outside and good atmosphere. 🦞🦀. Staff is very friendly.“

I just went yesterday and it is STILL exactly the same deliciousness I always get carne asada it comes with cheese enchilada, rice, beans, and guacamole and sour cream. I always switch the yellow rice and black beans to white rice and cheesy refried beans. They are fast to serve the food and never have I ever anything but perfect service. I literally love this place!!!!“

“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“
