50 Best Bars near Sea Ranch Lakes

“What gem to find. Definitely a locals bar, grab a beer and a shot..don’t start trouble, have a good time. How a bar should be. A perfect dive bar. Vendy was beyond wonderful. So fortunate to have gotten to talk with her. We came back two days in a row when we found out she was working ?“

“Anthony’s is simply great! They were able to accommodate us with a last-minute dinner reservation, and as always, the experience did not disappoint. The food was fantastic, and the service was top-notch—Diana in particular was amazing! The staff is consistently attentive and friendly every time we visit. Tonight, we started with the Calamari, Caesar, and house salads. For our mains, we had the Mussels in red sauce, Eggplant Parmigiana (do yourself a favor and ask for it with the Bolognese sauce—absolutely worth it! Thank me later!), and the Mussels & Clams in champagne sauce. We wrapped up with a perfectly done Crème Brûlée for dessert. The drinks are strong, tasty, and always hit the spot. Every dish was delicious, and not a single complaint from anyone in our group—which is rare! We’re already looking forward to returning soon.“

“Came in here for the very first time and it was a wonderful experience. The kava was great! I love the vibes here.
Hannah definitely went above and beyond to make my time here a great night, she is great! I will be back here for sure!“

“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!“

“Breakfast is delicious. Cold glasses for the beer. Beautiful beach view and perfect location.“

“Reasonably priced food that tasted really good. The staff was very nice but aside from the man that handed us our menus, they were very, very slow. We had to get back to where we were parked by a specific time and ended up having to rush because we waited so long for our salads and then for our check after we were done eating. Really I want to do 3.5 stars but since I can't, I am doing 4.“

“lugar donde puedes pasar un tiempo agradable... te tomas unas cerveza y la puedes disfrutar junto con una hamburguesa yo Les recomiendo la Black amb Blue“

“Nice group of people. Amazing bartenders like Frank and Juan. They make you feel like family. The drinks are on point. When you’re not sure what you feel like having, just ask Frank and he will come up with the perfect drynk. Love this place and go to gender I’m in WilMa.“

“It’s a cool place, I won’t take that away from them. But I’ve been there a few times and there’s definitely an “in” crowd that seems to be there every time I go. Kind of feels cliquey. And I’ve asked for flavored tea a few times and idk if they’re out or just not listening but I end up with a non flavored tea that I just kind of accept and deal with. It would be nice if the bartenders or whatever you call them actually ask your name or say thank you after you pay them instead of just walking away. Just seems like there’s two rungs of service.“

“Went there the year before last before for my birthday . May do it again this September“

“Wow! This place was really something! It was a nerd's dream but filled with all sorts of different characters! We went during talent night and it was very busy. A lot of rap style music but other talent as well. But it was real talent! Not your amateur karaoke style talent night. We enjoyed the talented artists and also played magic the gathering at a back table. They have tables and bar space with video games available and a shelf of different games you can borrow to play. The drinks were delicious and fun too. They also offered cannabis drinks at 5mg and 10 mg. Loved everything about this place, would definitely go back!“

“Bartender physically attacked me threw me backwards came all the way from behind the bar because I was complaining to another bartender about this person grab my neck and threw me as hard as possible outside I landed on my wrist I have not only a broken wrist at this point but broken bones in my hands throughout this is very serious no one bothered to get back to me and I'm in the hospital for a broken wrist suing the s*** out of this club kept my keys and tried to charge some produce for over $1,000 on my credi“

“What a great way to blow off some steam!!!! The atmosphere is great and the staff are wonderful to work with. The check in process is simple and fast so get ready for some fun times with colleagues or friends.“

“Let first start off by saying thank you to Franky B . He was amazing , my friends and I went on 10/4 which was our first time there . He was patient and explained everything with no problem . We sat outside it was nice , the food was delicious“

“Have been many times great space to relax and chill great music. Pizza is great…had a slight misshap last night but the manager was so wonderful and handled situation great!! Will continue to support and recommend“

“Five star review Google
I was on Oakland blvd wanting espresso so bad. Instead...I walked into The Cigar Bar next door. The bartender Earl made me THE BEST espresso martini I have ever had in my life and I am almost 50!!! He uses freshest Italian espresso... a little kahlua and a generous amount of stoli vanilla and then he shakes it really really hard. 🍸🍸So yummy! Go visit Earl day drinking is the best.
Happy Hour 11‐7pm 7 days a week!!! This place is great!!!! They are also known for the best cuban sandwich in the WORLD!
Oh and of course if you love cigars... he has a crazy box price sale going on.“

“Rhythm & Vine is the ultimate Fort Lauderdale hangout spot! The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, with a beautiful outdoor garden, twinkling lights, and plenty of greenery that creates the perfect backdrop. Cocktails are top-notch—creative, refreshing, and made with care. The DJs always set the mood with great music, keeping the energy high but never overbearing. The crowd is fun and welcoming, making it easy to enjoy whether you’re with friends or flying solo. Add in the friendly, attentive staff and you’ve got an unforgettable experience. Definitely a must-visit for good vibes, great drinks, and lasting memories! 🌟“

“Great outdoor space that sits right on the Drive. Dog friendly, too.“

“The iconic spot for everything cool in Ft.Lauderdale.“

“A quaint little pub for both tourists and the locals. Yummy Strawberry Margaritas which if you get Will as your bartender he makes the best in the area and he has a charming personality. The food is delicious.“

“This place is going to be great! See the direction they’re heading. Great staff.“

“Awesome vibe, great drinks and service. Nice outside patio with Local food treats which are different every night. Also it's a Dog Friendly venue as well. I recommend to anyone. It's the New Hip Low Key Bar in Downtown Fort Lauderdale! A+++++“

“Escape has an amazing view of the intercoastal and city at large. The ambiance is nice and cozy. Service was fast and the drinks were great! It closes at 10pm so keep in mind when planning a visit. I had the octopus and the bruschetta which tasted amazing! Can't wait to go back and sample more of the menu. I would definitely recommend!“

“i had a blast tonight with kat she was so much fun! its definitely an adult bar but if you like strip clubs this way more fun!“

“I always love going to LIT Wilton, the atmosphere, drinks and vibe is always a 100%. The bartenders and literally everyone in there is always wearing a smile and carefree. The Music/Dj is ALWAYS on point! If you wanna have a good time, you have to go to LIT!“

“We stumbled upon Mona's during a Google search and it didn't disappoint..it has a divy vibe, friendly people...pool table in front..and a great outside front patio. The drinks are strong and reasonably priced. Our amazing Bartender Mark was entertaining with fun stories and and quick wit. If you're in Fort lauderdale get off the drive and check out Mona's.“

“I had an amazing experience at the Palm Room Trisch, and a huge part of that was thanks to the incredible bartender working the night I visited. From the moment I sat down, they made me feel welcome with a warm smile, great conversation, and expert recommendations.

Their cocktail skills were top-notch—every drink was crafted with care, perfectly balanced, and beautifully presented. I especially appreciated how they took the time to ask about my preferences and then customized a drink that was honestly one of the best I’ve ever had.

The bar was busy, but their service never slipped. Fast, professional, and genuinely friendly—it’s clear they know how to handle a crowd while still making each guest feel like a priority.

If you're headed to the Palm Room Trisch, do yourself a favor and sit at the bar. The drinks are phenomenal, and the bartender? Absolutely the heart of the place.“

“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.“

“I can't fully express how exceptional this restaurant is. I organized a sunset cruise for a group of 24 guests, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the provisions (food) we were expecting. In a moment of panic, I contacted the owner, Jackson, and explained the situation, hoping for a backup plan within 30 minutes (sounds impossible 🥵). Not only did he agree to accommodate us, he immediately began preparing for us. Once we arrived, he and his team welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. Our table was beautifully set, complete with a customized and printed menu just for us. He chose 3 dinner options for our party and actually had custom printed menus! Wow!! Drinks, salad, and bread were flowing within minutes, and the food? Absolutely divine—without a doubt the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. To top it off, there was a live performer who was fantastic! Totally unexpected, we had no clue there was entertainment but such another great treat. She engaged with everyone, took song requests, and even invited guests to join her to sing. The entire experience, from the atmosphere to the impeccable service, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jackson even served our table personally and jumped in to assist his team, going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and special. He continued to check in and make sure we were ok and had everything we needed and accommodated every single request ❤️ I am incredibly grateful for everything. Jackson and his staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable evening. This special group of oncology nurses truly deserved a memorable night, and thanks to you, we got exactly that. Thank you so much for making it an experience we will never forget! 🥰“

“I was ready to jump off a bridge And the bartender talked me out of it.“

“I was here tonight where a lady didn't like her food. I watched the owner and bartender try to resolve the issue immediately for her, with professionalism and pose. The food I had was incredible, not sure what she had. But all I know is, if I was them, I wouldn't have maintained my composure for nearly as long. It was my first time here, and definitely seemed like a stray crazy person on Christmas evening. Pricing is fair and low, ambiance is very family oriented, like a strong community. Fantastic northern bar. A gem for the south Florida community.“

“Food is Amazing best Philly“

“Margie was amazing. My brother, friend, and I are from Texas and I haven’t met anyone in Florida as nice as her. We’ve been to many places and felt at home and welcomed here!! She deserves a raise. Margie made us feel so welcomed tonight! She was the most welcoming out of anywhere we went these past few days!!!“

“Well my honest opinion and we have lived here 39 yrs. It's no longer a country bar. In your face drag 6 nights a wk. The large groups of Country Dancers are welcome at other bars. Hunters and Eagle bar.No drag.“

“Great place friendly staff good prices Maryellen is an amazing bar tender very friendly. Open till 4:00am what more can you ask for? Will be looking forward to going back soon.“

“fun time good drinks and friendly people“

“Great little bar inside the Riverside! If Monica is working, you’re in for a treat !!!“

“It was my first time there and had a wonderful time. Great place and a lot of fun. I would recommend this place“

“Hands down the best bar I went to in Fort Lauderdale. The owners were so friendly and they even allowed me to bring my dog. Can’t wait to go back!“

“the people there are truly amazing“

“Freddie’s is a well-equipped a bar for sports enthusiasts: More than a dozen large screens can be tuned to multiple sporting events. As a bar, it had a limited but satisfying beer and liquor selection but offsets that lack of variety with high quality food. The wings are amazing, and there are lots of fried seafood, salads, sandwiches and burgers, all fresher and tastier than you’d expect. This is also a no frills bar for locals, a true neighborhood hangout worth getting to know even if you don’t live in the neighborhood.“

“Shipmonk was a great company I work with. All the lead and my manager was really nice and helpful. I was grateful to work with shipmonk and I have learned all from them. I want to thanks my manager Louis for giving me chance to become an employee at wholesale.“

“This was our first time coming here and we had so much fun. We went in as a group of 4 at around 7:30pm. We had multiple drinks each and ended the tab with $102 without tip. At around 8:30 is when we noticed more people started to come in. Once we left, we also noticed a sign that said they were at max capacity so definitely get there a little early. We had pecan old fashioned, stowaway, revolver in the martini cup, and the tall glass is the green hog. The stowaway and the green hog both came with a fire show. Our service was great and so was our bartender! Her recommendation of the revolver was amazing.“

“Was there for a private event and the appetizers were AMAZING. Beef Wellington…just leave the tray please!! The cocktails were not only delicious but the presentation was beautiful. The staff were friendly and really made you feel welcome. Will definitely be back!“

“Good place to hang and unwind from work.“

“At Pipers, everyone always have a great time !
Was there last Monday for Karaoke and got to sing a Led Zeppelin song.
The KJ was very accommodating and even gave me some reverb !
Really had a great time !
