You will never feel more accepted than you would at Tough Times. If you have ever felt out of place in a bar or venue then this is the place you can call home. No prejudice, no judgment, no classism, truly a place for people who feel they have no place. The people who run this place have made it more than the sum of its parts. Tough Times forever no matter the location.

Tough Times has created a safe space for bands, live music, friends, and good vibes. Thank you TT for the great memories. Don’t forget to visit their website, order some merchandise, to help keep the vision alive!

you know how they say third locations are dead for young people? like not work, not home, but a place to go and hang with your people and be part of the community.
this was my third location.
greatest venue in soflo. pompano’s CBGB. the only venue that gives so much of a shit about local musicians that the owner literally designs badass merch for local bands.
an absolute staple in our local music scene for the last 2 years.
when TT rises from the ashes like a phoenix (we know it will), you can bet your ass i will be there.

Tough Times has done more for local, unsigned and aspiring musicians, bands and artists than any other venue I’ve seen in SFL and we couldn’t be more grateful. There was such a sense of community, family and hospitality any time I’ve played there or whenever I’ve gone just to hang out and have a good time. The feeling of spending an evening at Tough Times could absolutely never be replicated anywhere else, it will hold a special place in my heart and in the hearts of so many forever. Looking forward to what the future holds???

THE best live music venue in south Florida. Excellent community, alcohol selection, free parking, and the owner and staff truly care about their customers. Such a shame that this place has to close! Can't wait to see where the brand goes!

Great dive bar featuring some amazing local rock bands. Definitely check it out on an event night--the cover charge is reasonable and the energy is unmatched.

TAKES ADVANTAGE OF BANDS!!! rudest management and event coordinators, barely pays their entertainment. DO NOT support this establishment if you care about local artists!!! NASTY ENVIRONMENT.

Pretty hard core rock bar with live music by talented young artists. It is a small bar. Dedicated, rocker clients from all ages. Free parking with limited space. Sufficient amount of alhocolic options and appetizers.

Tough Times always has something happening. Its my favorite place to see local bands live. Everyone that works there is great and they have sick merch. We all have Tough Times, but none like this one.

One of the best bars I’ve been to in all of Florida. The drinks are ice cold, the bartenders are friendly, and the management is alway making sure you’re having a good time. The music is AWESOME. You will find a variety of Live Bands playing great music every week. It feels like you’re at a stadium with those speakers. If you’re looking for a good time, go to Tough Times!
Tough times is always a function . Good vibes every time I go, love the local bands that perform. Staff is always attentive and polite, drinks always hit the spot. Not only is the music tough but I’m always having a good time.

One of my favorite places to visit for original music and to also perform at. The owner Challo goes above and beyond to get local acts, organize events and always pays them fairly. The bartenders Lala and Willow are friendly and drinks are good/cheap! Love this place

Been playing here for almost a year now and never a bad time. Tough times has supported countless original artist/ bands every week with 100% of the door sales to said bands. Cheap drinks and great times is what you want in a bar , and tough times has it all

The bald bartender with the tattoos threw a drink at the sink behind the counter because he was upset with a customer. The drink splashed on the customers sitting at the bar when he threw it.

This place is great. Willow is great. All it’s really missing is boiled peanuts!
