16 Best Cocktail Bars near Oakland Park

“Fantastic place and great people. Prices are great. Smoking inside. My favorite bartender is Yvonne on thurs and sat nights. Come every week. Only recommendation is to put a couple fans in the dart/pool table area and women's bathroom“

“Great service delicious smoothies at great prices.“

“Great little distillery in Oakland Park (across the street from Funky Buddha Brewery).

Atmosphere: Not a big venue , but it’s clean with nice, simple decor. Probably about 20 or so seats including at the bar, at tables or on the couch.

Staff: As the website says, family owned and run. Attentive, pleasant and passionate about their products.

Drinks: Refreshing, tasty, perfect combination of flavors without being too sweet/spicy or straight alcohol taste. We’ve purchased bottle here before (the basil vodka makes an awesome Bloody Mary) and the drinks are worth it. Blood Mule was refreshing and the Royal Colada wasn’t too sweet with the purple potatoe making it something no one else has. The basil breathe was like a “tasty salad” and the blueberry elderflower was not overly sweet. Don’t forget to sample the brandy—can’t go wrong with any flavor!

Overall: We keep coming back!“

“Jel absolutely crushed it. Passionate about cocktails, and led me on a journey for the evening. Ended up with 3 cocktails that told a story from start to finish and I feel well taken care of with her suggestions. The nightcap was everything I could ask for, and the Cubano was absolutely amazing. 10/10 would recommend. Extremely well done, and so happy about the passion and trust in the staff.“

“APT 9F in Wilton Manors is one of those places that just gets it right. I love this place. Carol, Nancy, Ali, and the whole crew make you feel welcome the second you walk in, and the vibe is exactly what Wilton Manors should be — friendly, fun, relaxed, and full of good energy.

The drinks are great, the people are great, and the atmosphere makes it almost impossible not to have a good time.

Honestly, if you can’t have a good time at APT 9F, that’s totally on you.That last line is the money line. Very you.“

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

“We had the BEST experience at Proof in Wilton Manors. From the second we walked in, the atmosphere was incredible — stylish, welcoming, and just such a fun energy. We even had the chance to meet the owner, which made it that much more special. You can truly feel the passion and pride behind this place. And let’s talk about the food. Every single thing we ordered was outstanding — beautifully presented and packed with flavor. What really impressed us was how amazing the gluten-free options are. Not just one or two safe choices — actual thoughtfully crafted dishes that feel just as indulgent and exciting as everything else on the menu. That’s rare, and it matters. If you’re in Wilton Manors, this is a must. We’re already planning our next visit.“

“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.“

“wonderful cocktails and tapas!“

“I ride over 60 miles from Miami just to drink here 🤘“

“Great spot for events and live music! The staff is awesome and the vibe is always right. They also host some great stand up comedy nights.“

“Adorable bartender worth going to to see him.“

“Casa Calabria is one of our favorite hidden gems in Fort lauderdale everytime we visit, but Dominic makes our visits truly special. His warmth, kindness, and genuine care makes us always feel like family from the moment we sit down. Every time we're in south Florida, this is the place we go!! Dominic goes above and beyond with every detail—perfect timing, thoughtful recommendations, and the kind of hospitality you don’t forget. Dominic turns every great dinner into a memorable night. We’ll definitely be asking for him every time. ❤️🍝 The atmosphere is unforgettable and addictive! It's like youre in Italy in Fort Lauderdale, and that's what we were looking for! Everyone greets you with a smile. The food- is amazing and we have tried it all! Dessert and coffee is top notch and you can tell it's homemade. This place is authentic, fun, and very family friendly. We recommend this as a must try in Lauderdale, and recommend Dominic if you want a family oriented vibe! Tell him Cooper & Carson sent you!! And call him Domino 😊“

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

“Wife and I stopped in here for our 1st meal of a recent trip to Ft Lauderdale. A bit wary from travel delays and having only a modest lunch while leaving home, we were hungry. We were absolutely blown away by our server Alayna. She was incredibly kind, genuine, and was right on the spot with anything we might have needed that evening. Easily one of the best servers we’ve had in the 15 years we’ve been together. Thank you Alayna!“
