50 Best Cocktail Bars near Margate

“We have been enjoying this establishment for over 5yrs now and everytime is a great time. I have celebrated birthdays for friends and myself and the parties are great. We love the appetizers and beer bucket deals. This place is fun and clean. Security staff are ways nice and they stay on point walking through the establishment numerous times per there shift and I recommend this place for a fun place to dance to great DJ's music as well as many Bands that come and are so entertaining. The owner can use a training course of customer service but the waitresses and Bartenders are very nice and knowledgeable. Would definitely spend my Saturday nights here 100% great place.“

“Ahhh .... The ladies of 9f .... Kirstie and Carol make it the place you want to be! There is no better bartender in a 100 mi radius than Kirstie ... Her charm, ability to make a perfect cocktail, and endless hustle make you want to stay forever. Carol actually cares what's going on in her place, and works non-stop to make sure that everybody is having the best time that they can. Add in some pretty tasty food and a great range of libations and you have a guaranteed good time.“

“Wonderful food and such excellent service! Definitely will be back! Loved the fritters and the poutine, sooo yummy!“

“So I've never been here till today but the people are great and the food is fantastic. The chef brings you your food, and of course ask how it was. Which in most places you don't get. If you have any left that you want to take home he even boxes it up for you. Honestly if you want a good lunch that's done right, here's the bed spot. A must try“

“We are regular customers at Drift, and each visit reaffirms why we keep coming back! From the moment we walk in, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a great experience. The seating is incredibly comfortable, and despite the hottest days, the excellent airflow under their covered area keeps us cool and relaxed.

The food is consistently delicious. Every dish we've tried has been tasty and well-prepared. We especially love opting for a full meal of tapas, which allows us to sample a variety of flavors. The drinks are also top-notch, perfectly complementing our meals.

A special shoutout to Darlene, who is an awesome member of the wait staff. Her friendliness and attentiveness make each visit even more enjoyable. It's clear that the server team works seamlessly together to ensure that all customers are well taken care of.

Moreover, the cost of both food and drinks is very reasonable, providing great value for the quality and experience. If you're looking for something pretentious, find somewhere else. But if you want a relaxed place to hang out with friends and enjoy great service, Drift is a great option.

Overall, Drift continues to exceed our expectations, and we look forward to many more visits in the future!

We will see you next week Stan and Kris“

“We didn't let the cloudy day get us down. Our first time here, we arrived just past noon for our reservation (for inside dining). What a delight! The service was exceptional! We ordered: Drinks: *virgin bloodymary⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * mocktail foam thingy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * deep into the sea⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * smoke thingy⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * still water Eats: *empanadas⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * oysters⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ * wagyu dumplings⭐️⭐️ * charcuterie board⭐️⭐️ Dessert: * key lime parfait⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Dj played chill vibes that sounded great and was unobtrusive. Was great. Presentation for everything is A+ 5 stars Service is equally awesome! Views outside are simply incredible and unmatched in Fort Lauderdale. Opportunities for improvement: * non-alc beer would be great * patio fan brought indoors and hidden * kill the charcuterie or make it better * lean into the nube galaxy vibe for interior design Eager to come back and try other items from the cocktail and Eats menu. Sidenote: never valet unless you have no other option. We've been to this hotel many many many too many times and 99% have the worst valet experience. Worth it to use a rideshare app and avoid valet. It's honestly the worst valet I have ever experienced in 20 years of using valet across the country.“

“Very nice bar, great view to the water. Great service.Learn about the Brain on Instagram: "2fightstroke"  Every 40 seconds someone suffers a Stroke. Learn Stroke symptoms with the BEFAST and save a life. Lower your risk factors for strokes.  Help fight stroke.“

“We started coming here recently and now we visit a few times a week. The Burata pie is my favorite followed by their pear pasta appetizer.“

“I don’t know who would rate this place below a 5 star.. Seriously people need a life.

This place is amazing. The food is quality and the prices are REASONABLE!

They also have a HOT lobster roll!! Love it“

“An awesome place where everybody knows your name. The prices are very affordable and the Drinks are ice cold. Not to forget some good old-school Bartenders like AM Dave on the weekends at 7am. Sherbear and Kelly in the afternoon. Trace and Tim at night will ensure your favorite sports are on one of the 8 TV's.“

“The waitstaff were excellent and the views were very nice. I had the shrimp tacos that were actually quite good. I had a little difficult time finding the restaurant. It is on the 6th floor of the hotel requiring a room key that is easily obtained by the front desk staff. Overall I was very happy with my experience.“

“Great people... good prices. Fun place.“

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

“wonderful cocktails and tapas!“

“I had Mauro and he was super nice. He gave recommendations and the food was very delicious.“

Brittany thank you for going the extra mile for my family, you are awesome!!!!!

Vegetarian options: The Veggie bowl tasted amazing!

Kid-friendliness: My children enjoyed live band singing“

“Guba is the best! My wife and I are in town for our honeymoon and were 3 minutes past the cut-off time for breakfast, but Guba saved the day! The outside patio and music playlist was a VIBE! If you want a great breakfast experience, come to the Milk Money Bar & “

“Came here for dinner with a large group for a very late dinner. They were about to close the kitchen and still accommodated us. It was very nice of them to allow us to dine and enjoy our time together after a long day of activities. There was a mix up with splitting the bill, but Muhammad, the manager, did an outstanding job of making everything right.

There was a few times I ordered to go from the bar, and Barbara, the bartender, was very genuine and kind. She was alone and was so good at multitasking, from taking phone orders to making conversation with me, to handling other patrons. She's such a hard worker.

During breakfast dine ins, the staff is attentive and kind. Pray, the manager, also did a wonderful job of checking in and asking how my dining experience was going. Overall, a good place to eat. Food is actually good for hotel food! I was pleasantly surprised.“

“Great place for a celebration!“

“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. ;)“

“This rooftop bar is absolutely amazing! The views are breathtaking, offering the perfect backdrop for sunsets and city lights. The cocktails are creative and well-balanced, with something for every palate. The vibe is relaxed yet upscale, and the staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in – a must-visit spot!“

“Came to moxies after work with a coworker and got a bottle of wine and got some apps Hailey was our server and i’ve had her before and she gives by far the best service. Always so attentive without making you feel rushed always gives the best recommendations and so personable! Ask for Hailey to ensure 10/10 service We all loved her!“

“Everything was amazing! Best Baba Ghanoush ever! We tried one of their Moroccan dishes and is was incredible. Our sever Baha was the best! Can’t wait to go back !!!“

“Lovely staff Wonderful service and food“

“Great happy hour and dinner experience. Very pleasant waiter handled our party of 7 well. Various offerings were ahi tuna tacos, cauliflower, Hamachi spoons, ceviche. The poppers for the table were to die for! One person had the Corvina, cooked perfectly. Great experience. Valet parking is $5.“

“Probably the best martini bar in Wilton manors. It’s not very crowded which may bother some people but there’s tons of outdoor seating inside is cool and you don’t have to wait for hours to get a drink. They always have seasonal martinis but now they’re serving pumpkin pie martinis which are amazing..“

“Everything was delicious!“

“The food, cocktails and staff over the top wonderful! We highly recommend the great menu and the margaritas were delicious! The staff was so efficient, helpful and full of fun! Please give them try...you will not regret your decision!“

“Great food, amazing waitress named Mackenzie from PGA! Music was awesome! The beignets were delicious. 10/10. Our family is coming back!!“

“Great and fun environment to be. We were greeted by Melissa who was awesome from start to finish! she instructed us on the axe throwing and had the most delicious drinks waiting for us afterwards! This place will definitely become my go-to moving forward for drinks and fun alike!“

“Love this place. Food is super delicious every time we come here. Tacos have interesting and tasty ingredients. Drinks are upscale. Our favorite server is Andrea, she is very professional and sweet. I would definitely recommend this place ❤️

Vegetarian options: Truffle mushroom tacos, impossible gringo tacos“

“Stopped by for the first time last night with some friends and Karina made some amazing recommendations! The food was delicious and the service was impeccable, would come back just because of Karina and her amazing personality and the way she treated us! Beyond amazing!“

“Great atmosphere. Friendly bartenders. Excellent upscale craft cocktails“

“Not bad at all... we had the Shrimp And Andouille Sausage and the Roasted Artichoke Hearts Tapas as an appetizer.

Kinda pricey at $25 for both, but ok. The artichokes kinda sucked and the andouille was pitiful, but it all worked.

For entrees I had the Monster Fish and chips, and the wife had the Pesto And Burrata. The fish and chips were excellent. My wife seemed to love her dish also.

For about $120 with drinks it wasn't bad. Wait staff was on point and was attentive.

Kinda sad to see that on a Sunday night your only entertainment was to watch an empty dance floor populated with old white guys was the only down side is my opinion.“

“Great detail in the cocktails. Sophisticated drinks and gentle vibe“

“My family and I recently dined at Hatch for my daughter’s birthday brunch and it was absolutely delicious. Everyone from our party of 15 enjoyed their food, I had the corn beef hash and it was full of flavor. You can tell that it was a Jamaican who prepared it because of the thyme, scallion, and pimientos they added!! The pancakes were perfectly cooked, and omg that cinnamon butter Yummm! The service and staff were very accommodating and pleasant. Our server was Joseph and he rocked, such a great personality!!! He definitely understood our crazy, and provided excellent customer service!! We will absolutely come back to support this local gem.“

“So many good menu choices. Great service. Consistency!!“

“Always great service, food, and Margaritas. Definitely a great place to spend a weekend brunch with friends.“

“Food was delicious! We had the carne asada tacos, pork belly tacos, fish tacos and everyone at our table love it! Great vibe! Our waitress Annabelle was really what out the experience over the top! She was so positive, attentive, informative and made the experience even better!“

“Love this place! Great vibe, attentive service, delicious food and crafty drinks.“

“Steven was the most amazing. His recommendations were perfect. I ordered the mahi grilled tacos and a pineapple coconut cocktail. Both were the best I’ve ever had and next time I’m in Ft. Lauderdale I will be back! Couldn’t be more pleased with the Steven’s hospitality, recommendations and the chefs in the kitchen! Great place , don’t miss out be sure to make this a place you try.“

“On June 16, we went to Kaluz Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale to celebrate my mother’s 85th birthday. We are regulars at Kaluz to the point where we have the cell phone numbers of several employees. In a nutshell, Anthony, the manager, should not hold that position in a restaurant like Kaluz. My husband and Anthony exchanged words and Anthony’s solution to the issue was telling us, “You should not come back here. The owners do not want parties larger than five people.” My jaw dropped. I could not believe that a manager’s solution to an issue about seating us sooner, while we waited for two other people in our party, especially since my 85-year-old mother could not stand for long, was to tell us, on two separate occasions, that we should not come back. Anthony also put the entire blame on the owners of the restaurant. We go to Kaluz almost on a weekly basis, tip extremely well and have taken countless people there that have also ended up being regulars at Kaluz. No restaurant manager should EVER tell a customer, regular or not, to not come back regardless of the issue. Needless to say, we will not be going back to Kaluz as long as Anthony continues working“

“Great place to seat outside and at the same enjoy the music. Great service.“

“What a fantastic family-run distillery! The cocktails are absolutely delicious & it was really cool seeing the process of how everything is made. Knowing they only use all natural ingredients & follow the seasons makes this truly a unique place.“

“Our hostess was fabulous, she made us an exceptional dirty martini even though it wasn't on the menu. The flight of saki was a good experience and delicious. Our two chefs were quick in serving and highly attentive, the ambiance is quaint and definitely has a vibe. Food was wonderful. Would have liked to had a little more food as far as value (left the place not full)“
