“Great little dive bar! Not short on locals or interesting beach goers. The staff are attentive, the cocktails are decent and the atmosphere is very cozy. The daytime vibe is much different from the night, it's much more bustling at night. This is a great little spot to meet up for a drink with old friends and to make new ones.“
“Josie's Too is a dive bar. And if that's what you are looking for you have to stop in. We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a cruise but wanted some drinks the night before. Josie's was close to our hotel so we Uber'd on over. The bartender greeted us immediately and asked us where we were from etc. This is definitely a bar where everyone knows everyone. We told her we were just in town for the night and wanted a couple of drinks. She asked how we found them...if we had searched for a "dive bar." I laughed and told her that was exactly what I did! We had a blast during our visit. We spent a few hours drinking beers and chatting with the locals. Super friendly group and more than one of them bought us beers. I cannot remember the last time a stranger just bought me a beer to say 'welcome.' Oh, one more thing. Josie's is beer and wine only. Don't come here if you want a fancy cocktail. Do come if you want cold beer.“
“This little dive is a hidden hub for local music and fringe culture. They offer cheap beers, a juke box, billiard table and a variety of local live performances. There's plenty of free parking with wheelchair accessibility. No dress code or VIP, this is an unpretentious, all inclusive, super laid back spot to unwind and meet cool people.“
“Great bar with decently priced drinks. There is always some kind of event going on. Pull tabs, video poker, and keno along the wall. Decent mixed crowd. They have a pool table. There is a back patio area.No food but reasonably priced. Plenty of parking in the back. They accept cards here.“
“Do not go here if you cannot handle cigarette smoke.This bar is so great. Friendly, low key, affordable. Margie (i hope i spelled that right) is a great bartender. Killer bloody mary (maria in my case). She was extremely welcoming as were her regulars. I was in from out of town, and they made me feel at home.10 out of 10.“
“Great old fashioned bar. There's a good selection of beers on tap. All the essential drinks are prepared by the bartender with a smile and they also have a daily specials menu and all your favorites like wings, burgers and fries, etc. I really enjoyed watching the NFL games at Artie's... Great place!“

“We stopped by today for a couple of reasons. We needed a bottle of Casamigos tequila to take to a party this evening, and we wanted to see the new NBV location of Happy's Lounge and Liquor Store. I have heard for years that Happy's is a fun, casual, old school kind of bar that everyone has been to at least once. It is a neighborhood kind of bar where most of the patrons know each other. It has been around for years.It actually looks comfortable and welcoming inside. I took a few pics. They serve wine, beer, and cocktails. You can also get bar food like a Philly cheesecake that tastes really good. The menu is limited but has enough popular meals to make everyone happy!There is free parking in a large attached lot. They have outdoor dining on the patio. Smoking is allowed outside on the patio. There are other businesses around it. We plan to come back and have a Happy's experience.“
“This bar has thrived for over 20 years. They serve beer and cocktails. Karaoke at least 4 nights a week. They used to have live bands; but the flow is karaoke now. Nice place to drink beer outside, the Floridian way. Aye, matey! Pirates always welcome here.“
“Best service and place ever. So many of our friends and family love, love this place. Coming from Minnesota I have a very personal connection when I feel at home and have an at home bar which is unheard of in south Florida. Terri and Dana make me and anyone else I'm with feel so at home.“
“Michelle was a such a sweetheart. My friend and I were staying at an AirBNB right next door, and we decided to check this place out. Service was great, she was so attentive and kind and even gave us a couple dollars for the jukebox. She recommended good food spots and a vape shop, and was so genuine and kind. Kept conversations going and was so helpful! Definitely made our trip better and if we’re ever in town again we will visit this place! One of the greatest people to come across in Hollywood. Give it a chance! Will not disappoint :)“
“While driving through the area, we spotted Bonny & Reads, I had seen the episode on Bar Rescue & wanted to visit. Nice place, nice atmosphere, professional staff but the restrooms need improvement & hourly upkeep. I would drop by again when I’m in town.“
“One of the best bars in the north Miami area. Laid back, calm, and delicious burgers. Find yourself a game of pool, a well priced beer, and some cool bikers hanging at this low key establishment. There is a little outdoor area in the back to hang out and in the front. The bar fits about 12 people and the bartenders are kind.“
