50 Best Cocktail Bars near Wilton Manors

“Best steak salad EVER. Went back two days in a row. Not pretentious. Not over the top anything. Just a VERY comfortable place. Everyone is “Honey” and it’s a good thing. Almost as I imagine visiting your nurturing older sister’s house while in her town. Allie and Mark (I could have this wrong-drinks were good) were amazing. My wife and I sat at the bar and people-watched. Raspberry
Spritzer and a Toasted Almond were served and the show began. Allie and Mark-I really think those are their names- were conductors in an orchestra of orders and customers. Thursday night rush or a popular place anytime….. but they were constantly and deliberately moving. Freddie was working to run food and bus tables and make sure EVERYONE had a great experience. Our steak salad and Bbq flatbread were plated beautifully. I had the steak salad and it has a champagne vignagrette over candied pecans, sliced pear, and other goodness. We also had the goat cheese skillet…. The bread it was served with was VERY GOOD. The goat cheese was too spicy for me…. But my wife liked it.

The MVP of the night might have been the chef’s assistant… or the cook’s right hand. Sitting at the bar we had a full view into the open kitchen. Picture a two foot square area surrounded by tools and appliances and filled with TALENT. The chef is good…. But she was having a come-a-part and it showed to us as spectators. As diners…. The food didn’t show it. The assistant… talented, female, tan, brown hair …. Never heard her name….. but she put out fire after fire in the fire in the mind of the chef……. Talked her off the ledge multiple times……

Like I said the food was great…. The assistant was an MVP and Mark and Ellie? Allie? Hallie? Tattood right arm…. Shakes a mean martini….. ellie I think…. She and mark were great!!!!

Might have one more salad tomorrow!“

“Great lobster taco! Enjoyed with a margarita!“

“What a great addition to WM. They have been here almost a year and they are amazing. Food and cocktails are the best in the neighborhood. Thank you for wonderful service and atmosphere.“

“We had an amazing experience at Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery! The atmosphere is relaxed yet vibrant, with great music and a welcoming vibe. Ryan was outstanding, I told him what flavors I liked, and he crafted cocktails that were perfectly balanced, creative, and absolutely delicious. You can tell he really knows his craft and cares about giving guests a great experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend both Swizzle Rum Bar & Drinkery and Ryan to anyone looking for top-quality drinks and amazing service!“

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

“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.“

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

“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“

“Adorable bartender worth going to to see him.“

“great food and great place to watch Panthers Hockey“

“From the arrival staff to the hostess and server, the service was excellent. We dined Saturday night, November 8th- kudos to everyone working tonight. Also kudos to the bartender who made our colado and smoke cloud- and to the chef for the phenomenal short rib empanada and spicy chicken rigatoni. The views were fantastic. Metered parking on the street was easy. A new favorite as a local!“

“My brother's and I visited Rocco's for lunch and had an excellent experience.

The overall layout was very welcoming and the staff made us feel right at home.

Most places I get table side guacamole I feel as if the ingredients haven't had enough time to marinate, but here the seasonings made it perfect and it had a lot of good flavor.

We ordered the burrito bowl, tacos, and quesadilla all of which came out great. Especially the chorizo tacos. Those we a a favorite by far.

The bar tender was kind enough to put together a unique flight of tequila for us to try as well. We all enjoyed it and had a chance to try something new.

The manager stopped by one or two times to make sure everything was good and that we were happy and our waitress was very attentive and checked on our table often.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Rocco's. The establishment was clean, well ran, with great service, good tequila, and awesome food!“

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

“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!“

“one of my favorite places in Miami😍 Davie“

“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.“

“Absolute Gem, AMAZING SERVICE, food was Outstanding. Great Entertainment Shawn the staff, well done!! We will definitely be back.“

“Great experience here on a Saturday night. Came with my dog and was sat immediately. The servers were all incredibly friendly. We especially liked the strawberries and cream croffle. Huge shout-out to the musician creating some great ambiance, Daniel.“

“Always a great time breakfast, brunch and dinner.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Great food, friendly service, and a beautiful atmosphere.“

“Phenomenal atmosphere! We stopped at the first bar on the left and ended up staying here all night. bella was a fantastic bartender and made us feel at home. ( we’re from chicago ). Overall, it was a amazing place and beautiful scenery. Ill be back forsure!“

“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!“

“sushi best of Broward , consistent fresh ingredients.“

“My wife and I visited for the first time last night. Sat at the bar. Jay our Bartender was outstanding! Gave us great recommendations on the menu and for cocktails. We had a wonderful time, enjoying the food and watching the dancer perform. Would recommend to anybody.“

“We had such an awesome experience at Rooftop @1WLO. Huge thank you to Nikki Taylor, who was seriously amazing from start to finish. Even though we reached out super last minute, she somehow made everything come together perfectly. She went above and beyond coordinating the table, handled all the details, and was so supportive with all the bachelor party logistics.

Also, the ambience up there is unbeatable. The lighting, music, and views all come together to make it such a fun vibe. The drink service was fast and friendly, and every cocktail we had was on point. The staff really kept the energy going all night, and it made the whole night feel effortless.

Couldn’t have asked for a better setup/table or a better person to help make it happen. Nikki truly made the night one to remember. If you’re planning something special or just want a great spot for drinks and good energy in Fort Lauderdale, Rooftop @1WLO is the place to go.“

“Amazing! Can’t wait to go back! Service is also top notch.“

“Coolest place with great music“

“One of my fav places for Taco Tuesday. The food, margs & service is always on point! ✨ Everything that we’ve tried on the menu is delish & Jose, our fav bartender, makes the best spicy margaritas in town.😊 Highly recommend to check out this place & a shout out to Tyler as well for his great hospitality. ✨“

“We absolutely enjoyed Moxies. It was first time here and the food and cocktails were a 10/10. It was our birthday dinner my sister and I and she said I picked a great restaurant. We made a reservation to be seated on the patio but it was a little breezy so we asked the waitress to be seated in the inside without an issue. We really enjoyed ourselves. We will be back!!!“

“Great place for a celebration!“

“Was very impressed. My date and I had the cornbread , oyster rockefeller and the truffle deviled eggs, impressive intricate cajun menu“

“Food was great and service provided by Angela was excellent. We always request her when we dine at Kaluz.“

“Homeade bloody mary mix, need I say more?“

“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“

“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.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Pier 14, and I can confidently say that it exceeded all my expectations! From the moment I arrived, the management staff made me feel right at home. Their attention to detail and commitment to guest satisfaction were evident throughout my visit. They genuinely care about creating a memorable experience, and it shows! The barge ders are an absolute delight. Their friendly demeanor and expert knowledge of the menu made our time there even more enjoyable. They were quick to recommend some of the best dishes, and I was blown away by their recommendations! Speaking of food, it was nothing short of incredible. Each dish was crafted with care, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. Whether you’re a fan of seafood, steak, or vegetarian options, there’s something for everyone. I highly recommend trying their signature dishes—you won’t be disappointed! The atmosphere at Pier 14 is simply magical. With stunning views and a lively yet relaxed vibe, it’s the perfect spot for a night out with friends or a romantic dinner. The ambiance is enhanced by the talented DJ, who spun an eclectic mix of tracks that kept the energy high without overpowering conversation. The combination of great music and a vibrant crowd made for an unforgettable evening. Overall, Pier 14 is a must-visit destination. The exceptional management, outstanding barge ders, mouthwatering food, and fantastic atmosphere all come together to create a truly remarkable dining experience. I can’t wait to return!“

“Unbelievable find. Traveled with my family and are Portuguese! Lucky for us we found this absolute gem. The food was an amazing, The service like no other and ambience was on point. Wish we had this wonderful establishment close to us in Sebastian FL so we could frequent more often. Raphael was our waiter among others and we felt like we were regulars the way we were treated. When we are back in the area, we will absolutely make this a must visit again. thank you for such a wonderful evening!!!“

“2025 Jul
Came for Daiquiri event (It's National Daiquiri Day). Daiquiri flight (natural, strawberry, and ginger w/dried pineapple).

My favorite was the strawberry (not pictured). Afterward had their Bloody Mary with their Basil Vodka (pictured). It was excellent.

Family owned & operated. They also distill various fruit brandys, rums, and gin.“

“Coconuts has consistently been my "Go-To" spot when guests are in town or a special occasion comes up. From the Drink Menu & Appetizers to Deserts and everything in between; they have always been spot on! Valet makes parking easy in the busy beach area, taking away the hassle of having to find a spot. The staff is always kind and courteous- I especially appreciate the mindfulness when I mention my food allergies. I'm confident I can order anything off the menu and not have to worry about an accidental contamination and reaction. If you go- don't leave without ordering the Scoobies and a slice of Key Lime pie!“

“Everything was so fresh, the atmosphere and service were exceptional!“

“Day 5 Happy Hour at El Camino location in Boca Raton, FL was incredible. The place was buzzing, but the atmosphere was fantastic. We snagged a table pretty quickly despite the crowd. Our server, John, was top-notch. We started with a $6 margarita & a michelada, & the tamarind straw was a game-changer. The food was phenomenal - chips with salsa, pork tamale, chicharrones, & more. We were stuffed, but the flavors were perfection. What a steal!“
