Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Bar and Club News and Reviews

Featured Bars/Clubs

America's Backyard

America's Backyard, it turns out, is nothing short of a huge pool party where the pool is swimming with bartenders and the deep end overflows with sparkling alcohol.

You may not want to return to the scene of the crime of one too many Coronas and mechanical bull rides, but if you can brave it, you'll be rewarded with a standout weekend brunch of Mexican fare that far surpasses the basic huevos rancheros.

Fritz & Franz Bierhaus

Waiters are sometimes clad in traditional garb and are eager to offer samplings of beers from four German breweries and describe some of the less common dishes.

La Bare
2750 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306
954-568-2273
http://www.labareflorida.com So "Harley" is revving his motor in your face, and you don't know whether to laugh or laugh. For a not-so-small fee, you can witness a crowd of strictly women hootin' and hollerin'. Why is it that men sit at titty bars in dumbfounded silence while women -- when they visit their own version of the clubs -- fall off their chairs laughing at the teabag-o-rama? It's because, to women, places like La Bare are hilarious and not that sexy; sure, Dirk's got those dreamy eyes, and you can't keep your eyes off Paolo's huge... pecs. But these joints are filled with single and/or married women who are really wondering what it would be like to make out with another chick. Hooray for the converting power of the penis! Fort Lauderdale’s La Bare is open Wednesday to Sunday, but Friday and Saturday nights are best. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

La Goulue Christian Delouvrier
9700 Collins Ave. North Miami Beach, FL 33154
305-865-2181
http://www.lagouluebalharbour.com The accouterments of a classic brasserie setting are in place: tin ceiling, mosaic-tile floor, wood, mirrors, tightly packed tables topped with white butcher paper, and open French doors leading to a breezy outside patio. The menu mimics that of a real bistro, too, although one with severely limited range. Diners are privy to the standard escargots, onion soup, steamed mussels, steak/frites, and duck à l'orange -- but little else. And the sparse selections are timid in scope. Where is the confit, cassoulet, coq au vin? Ambitiouslessness aside, what La Goulue does, it does decently enough. Two small triangles of tarte à l'oignon satisfy with brittle-thin pizza crust crowned by a rich mix of minced onions, bacon, and Gruyère cheese, and parmentier soup achieves a heartwarming harmony between its two main components, potato and leek. For salad, you can't beat peppery frisée leaves laced with lardons of bacon and a runny poached egg. Steak/frites comes two ways: grilled New York strip (no bargain at $35) and the more traditional bistro cut, the hanger (onglet), its full-bodied taste elevated further by a perfect béarnaise sauce tangy with tarragon. Freshly made, assertively salted frites are also good, and so are desserts such as brilliantly flavored homemade ice creams and sorbets, a luscious lemon tartlet, and sumptuously soft arabica coffee pot de crème.

The Lamp Post Bar
6567 S. Military Trail Lake Worth, FL 33463-7531
561-965-9990
One of the oldest bars in Palm Beach County, and it looks like it. Bikers and the average Joe mill about drinking cheap beer on the all wooden patio that resembles an old west saloon. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Laser Wolf
901 Progresso Drive Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
954-667-9373
http://www.laserwolf.com Located where NE Fourth Avenue meets the train tracks, Laser Wolf fits in an unusual triangular space. The place vibrates with bright-red walls, a mural by pro skateboarder Kris Markovich, and the runaway trendiness of a crowd that gathers between its walls to drink sake and locally crafted microbrews. Ashtrays feature the Misfits’ skull logo, and even the chairs made the trip from the moody-hip downtown hangout the Poorhouse. Dance parties instinctively emerge in front of the DJ’s corner setup, while an adjacent, charming courtyard hosts bands for the rock-devoted.

Lauderdale Grill
1901 Cordova Road Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
954-524-1118
http://www.lauderdalegrill.com This spacious bar and grill hidden in the back of the Harbor Shops has all the trappings of a sports bar: two bars inside and out, plenty of big screen TVs (including two projection screens), and some good pub food to match. Lunch specials start around $7, and feature creative choices like a fried snapper Reuben made with local fish and jalapeno slaw, and grilled cheese on challah with great house-made chili. The place also makes great prime rib that it ages for four weeks, then smokes to completion. Happy hour runs 4 to 7 p.m. daily, and everything is half price during that time. There's a few problems, though: The central bar is pretty small, and the televisions above it are mounted really high. You've got to crank your neck to see any games on; that, or face away from the bar awkwardly and watch the projection screen behind you. Our suggestion: Come on a weekend, grab a breezy patio seat, and partake in the bloody mary bar (11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday). For four bucks you get to a double shot of vodka and access to over 20 bloody mary fixings, from tomato juice and lime to an outstanding homemade mix.

Le Tub Saloon
1100 N. Ocean Drive Hollywood, FL 33019
954-921-9425
http://www.theletub.com Ever since Esquire named Le Tub's giant, char-grilled burgers among the best in the nation, this eccentric watering hole has overflown with would be beef-biters looking to sample the fare. But all these bandwagon jumpers may have missed the point - yeah, the burgers are great, but it's the secluded waterfront tables and "everybody knows your name" vibe that separates Le Tub from all the other gin-joints in town.

Lefty's Tavern and Grille
11300 State Road 84 Plantation, FL 33325
954-474-1410
Because of its close proximity to Nova Southeastern, Lefty's Tavern and Grille gets a lot of business from college students. There's live music on Wednesdays, karaoke every Friday, and Trivia Tuesdays. For the food, chicken wings are the main attraction, but you can also find salads, burgers, and an array of sandwiches, like the fried grouper Reuben. Another draw? It's always happy hour at Lefty's, where you can get $2.25 domestic drafts, five-for-$10 domestic bottles, $2.49 well liquor, and $3.49 house wine and a few name brands of liquor, including Bacardi and Smirnoff, anytime from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. You can wash down those drink specials with 50-cent wings and clams available Monday through Wednesday. Family fun is offered too via a makeshift arcade for the little ones, and you may even find a clown making animal balloons on Wednesdays, when kids eat free (with the purchase of adult entrée).

Legend's Pub
6235 N. Federal Highway Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308
954-491-9784
Cozy and quaint, Legends Pub is the quintessential neighborhood watering hole in Fort Lauderdale. An oval bar trimmed in forest-green leather fills the smoky bar, where patrons gather to share drunken tales of long work days. TVs line the wooden walls that are covered in photos of stars from yesteryear. Vintage cash registers and an old- time popcorn machine add to the bar's nostalgic charm. The bartender knows his patrons by name, and you can bet he never leaves a glass dry. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Legends Tavern and Grille

The Leopard Lounge
363 Cocoanut Row Palm Beach, FL 33480
561-659-5800
http://www.chesterfieldpb.com Terminally hip out-of-towners like to come to Palm Beach and dis our tatty old Leopard. Yeah, there's a lounge singer with his Casio belting out Barry White tunes; the sartorially inept jokers wearing $700 lime-green slacks (Where do they find them? Oh, right, two blocks away on Worth Avenue.); the Southern lady lawyers screaming into their cell phones; the big shots ordering $400 bottles of champagne; the doyennes - newly resurfaced skin stretched tight and shiny as latex over jutting cheek and collar bones. But an excellent late-night menu, served until 1 a.m. on weekends, of exotic burgers and creative small plates makes the LL a favorite haunt of hungry nocturnal felines. And where else are you gonna find an appetizer of creamed chipped beef - made with sirloin tips and sautéed mushrooms, no less? Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Lester's
2519 NW 2nd Ave. Miami, FL 33127
305-456-1784
http://www.lestersmiami.com Lester's would be the newest little coffee shop in Wynwood only if it weren't also true that it's the newest little bar in the arts district as well. Stylishly simple, the décor includes a wooden bar, tables with chairs, a small green couch, and a hipsterrific wall of mustaches. Lester's is not only a comfy spot for the arts crowd to eat and drink, but also it's a great place to catch poetry readings and buy arts and poetry journals and intellectual-type magazines. Prices are more than affordable, with a single shot of espresso costing only $1.75. For lovers of a bit of caffeine with whipped cream, a café con panna ($2) will bring perky pleasure. And beer drinkers will be pleased with the substantial selection. From a Narragansett lager ($3.50) to a Stone Arrogant Bastard ale ($13.50), there's a taste available for the frugal boozer and the staunch connoisseur. Wine is available by the bottle or glass, including Borgo "M" Pinot Grigio ($22.50/$9) and a La Maialina Super Tuscan "Gertrude" red ($43.50/$11). Happy-hour drinks are 15 percent off Tuesday through Friday from 5 to 7 p.m., and if you have thirsty friends, a bucket of six beers is $15. For a snack, the Cuban PB&J ($6) turns a lunchbox classic into a local favorite with peanut butter and guava jelly on Cuban bread. Vegetarians will enjoy a spinach bulgar wheat wrap ($6.50) and baked garden and root veggie chips ($3.50). Tuna and egg salad sandwiches also are on the menu ($6.75) for a boost of protein.

Libation Wine Bar
1722 Main St. Weston, FL 33326
954-384-9463
Libation in Weston invites patrons to take a glass and browse the shop for the wine of their choosing. International wines are located on one wall, clearly marked with the country's flag and name. Domestic wines are located on the other wall, and there are plenty of varietals to choose from. Sample a few, and purchase a bottle of the best to take home. Relax on one of several leather couches, and enjoy a spicy glass of Cabernet or a light and buttery Chardonnay. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Lion & Eagle English Pub
2401 N. Federal Highway Boca Raton, FL 33431
561-447-7707
http://www.thelionandeaglepub.com Irish pubs, British pubs, German brew houses -- many places bill themselves as heirs to some distant, drink-happy culture. Few places deliver the sights, sounds, and tastes of the originals. Lion & Eagle British-American Pub, however, is the real deal. Forget that it's wedged into a minuscule Boca Raton strip mall. Clear of the front door, that means nothing. It looks, smells, and tastes like one of those old, musty, happy-to-be-sullen pubs that squat in London's alleyways. The communal seating is covered in Victorian-style fabric and haloed by a plasma screen -- home of the English Premier League on weekends. It's open from noon to 2 a.m. seven days a week, and happy hour ($1 off pints) is from 4 to 7 p.m. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Lips
1421 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Oakland Park, FL 33334
954-567-0987
http://www.lipsusa.com You don't go to Fort Lauderdale's Lips to eat but to be eaten: The drag queens and divas who patrol the crowd have a sharp eye for a sweet little morsel like you to chew on, so wear your thickest skin. Dinner shows, with a full three-course menu, are at 8:15 or 8:30 Tuesday through Sunday and offer a different theme each night (Bitchy Bingo on Wednesdays); the popular Gospel Brunch on Sunday plays at 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. to a mix of straight couples, elderly tourists, bachelorette parties, and gay blades celebrating their birthdays. Continental entrées of steak, chicken, lamb chops, salads, and sandwiches don't rise far above average, but the show is a hoot and worth every penny. Sunday Brunch is the best bargain, with all-you-can-drink mimosas and bloodies. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Little Hoolie's Sports Bar & Grill
13135 SW 89th Place Kendall, FL 33176
305-252-9155
http://www.littlehoolies.com Though it has everything you'd expect from a Irish sports bar-three pool tables, more than 30 TVs, a full kitchen and bar and plenty of jocks, Little Hoolie's distinguishes itself from other south Miami-Dade bars by serving as one of the only legitimate live music venues in the neighborhood surrounding the Falls. There is a decent-sized stage smack dab in the middle of the bar and plenty of tables for appreciative crowds. Live music (mostly hard rock) plays on Fridays and Saturdays, with a weekly open mic night and band tryouts on Thursdays. There is also a DJ spinning on Monday night and Kara-O-King Karaoke on ladies night on Wednesday starting at 9 p.m. To get the already rowdy crowd into more of a fervor, Tuesday nights is Lingerie Night which speaks for itself.

Little Munich
806 Lake Ave. Lake Worth, FL 33460
561-932-0050
http://www.littlemunich.com The staff doesn't fake it at this dark, cavernous place in downtown Lake Worth -- the German accents are real, and so is the food, prepared the way you'll get it in the beer gardens of the old country. Eat too much of a good thing and the bartender will even offer you a dose of bitters, a home remedy for overdosing on goulash. With more than 15 beers on tap, most of which are imports, it's too easy to pair a pint with a plate of their most popular dish: wiener schnitzel, breaded pork cutlet served alongside a heaping portion of German potato salad for under $15. If sauerkraut, knackwurst, spatzle, and bratwurst aren't your thing, you can also find Americanized entrées like standard burgers, sandwiches, salads, and seafood -- all under $10. Top it all off with some homemade apple strudel. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
