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.

Packy's
11379 W. Palmetto Park Road Boca Raton, FL 33428
561-482-0052
Packy's, a laid-back sports bar in west Boca Raton, caters to families for lunch and dinner and to local drinkers looking for a relaxed environment to watch a Jets game. Jets jerseys line the walls and servers boast thick New York accents when they suggest the buffalo wings. Neon beer signs light the periphery of the large space as people gather at the rectangle bar in the middle of the room. Happy hour runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 7 p.m. But the real draw are the Voodoo Juice buckets filled with five types of rum and cranberry, orange, and pineapple juice for $8.

Packy's Sports Pub
4480 N. Federal Highway Lighthouse Point, FL 33064
954-657-8423
http://www.packysportspub.com This Lighthouse Point Bar carries over some of the feel of its Irish pub cousin next door, John L. Sullivan's. After the Irish pub bought Packy's, some of the warm, wooden interior booths made their way next door, and customers will recognize several menu items. The variety of domestic and imported beers on tap draws patrons in. A weekday 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. happy hour means you can get your day started early. Domestic buckets are five for $12, and mixed drinks range from $2.50 for wells to $5.50 for premium liquors. The weekend calendar boasts live music and UFC events.

Paddy Mac's
10971 N. Military Trail Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410
561-691-4366
http://www.paddymacspub.com Real Irish hospitality is on tap for visitors to this traditional Irish pub in the Gardens, tucked on the north side of the Publix plaza. It's got a neighborly feel, with longtime employees helping owner Ken Wade spread the Irish cheer in the warm, wood-paneled eatery with indoor, bar, and patio seating. You'll rub elbows with golf pros and politicos as well as regular Joes at the cozy bar, where they toss back a pint or two. The food here is not an afterthought to the drinks. The menu features Erie traditions like filling pot pies -- cottage, shepherd's, steak and mushroom, or fisherman's versions: bangers and mash, salmon "leap," and fish and chips. Then there's shrimp and scallop ala vodka, New York strip steak, diver scallops with king crab risotto, chicken Parmesan, and three-nut crusted dolphin. A variety of sandwiches, soups, and salads completes the menu. Live entertainment is featured weekly, and the place rocks all night on March 17 for one of the largest St. Pat's Day parties in the county.

Paddy McGee's
307 E. Atlantic Ave. Delray Beach, FL 33483
561-865-7341
http://www.paddymcgeesdelray.com Billing itself as a "high-energy Irish pub," Paddy McGee's arrived in downtown Delray Beach planning to attract the party crowd. Decorated with the "doors of Dublin" -- each front door set on the wall is a different vivid color -- a fireplace and brick walls, it's a modern take on pub style. TVs pepper the bar, so guests can catch a game. Fare is a mix of American bar foods like nachos, wings, shrimp cocktail, potato skins, and burgers, mixed with Irish classics -- fish and chips, beef and barley soup, shepherd's pie, Irish (Guinness) stew, bangers and mash, and roast beef with Yorkshire pudding (maybe leaning toward England there). Servers are corseted lassies in short-short skirts and boots -- parents of tots might want to consider this. The beer list outshines the foods with 27 beers and 18 on draft, many of them oddities. Live music entertains certain nights; promotions are held weekly. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Paladium Night Club
5688 W. Sample Road Coconut Creek, FL 33073
954-977-7752
http://www.paladiumnightclub.com The namesake of the Paladium in Pompano Beach is definitely an homage to New York City's Palladium Ballroom, a Latin music dance hall, which from 1948 to 1966, brought in the likes of Tito Puente and La Lupe -- the place became legendary. And the South Florida Paladium channels the Ballroom's soul in the most earnest of ways: It caters to clubgoers who truly just want to dance to reggaeton, salsa, and merengue. Paladium offers separate $10 dance classes on Tuesdays and Thursdays for beginners and intermediate dancers; salsa lessons are taught in traditional Los Angeles style, which is heavily influenced by early mambo; and there's also disco and hustle lessons. But Paladium is a night club, not a dance school, at heart, and it prides itself on its flavor. Latin Night is every Friday, and ladies get in free before 11 p.m. Drinks are free then too, though they'll only go up to around 4 bucks in price, even for top-shelf. But on Saturday, drinks are free all night, and you'll dance to banging selections by DJ Alex Gutierrez. The bonus of this place is that the menu's a few steps above traditional bar food, and the kitchen is open till 3 a.m. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Palm Beach Improv at CityPlace
550 S. Rosemary Ave. West Palm Beach, FL 33401
561-833-1812
http://www.palmbeachimprov.com Start your drinking adventure at the Wet Willie's portion of Palm Beach Improv. Choose from a rainbow wall of spinning frozen drink machines, ready to dispense preshow drinks. There are 11 kinds, and the bartender will be happy to let you sample as many as you'd like before settling on one. Once inside the Improv, browse the menu for frilly drinks with names as silly as the jokes, served in large glasses. In addition to national acts, head over on a weekday night for local talents performing open mic showcases. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Pangaea
5711 Seminole Way Hollywood, FL 33314
954-581-5454
http://www.pangaea-lounge.com At this trendy Hard Rock spot, a safari-themed interior fuses with shadowy lighting and mod-ish seating for an exotic and ultrachic lounge experience. Under a draped ceiling, animal skulls peer out, contrasting with the crowd of stylish faces that pack the various bars and bamboo walls. The entire club functions in some way as a dance floor, and club music sometimes gives way to international lounge, hip-hop, and rock. If you need a breather, relocate to the more peaceful outdoor patio in front, where long, red, winding couches provide a partial respite from the partying.

Paolo's 3's Company
242 E. Dania Beach Blvd. Dania Beach, FL 33004
954-921-4970
Paolo's 3's Company is a family-owned Italian restaurant in Dania Beach. Photographs of Marilyn Monroe, Sly Stallone, and other movie icons decorate the walls. High-backed wooden booths covered with white tablecloths and red and green settings make this a traditional environment. The bar follows the same Italian-flag color scheme. There is a large floor to dance to live entertainment every weekend, and there's a monthly cabaret dinner show. Happy hour is from 3 to 7 p.m. Sunday through Friday. A large, screened-in patio provides outdoor seating as well as a spot for events such as "The Artists' Corner," featuring local art on the second Sunday of each month and cooking classes with Chef Paolo the first Tuesday of each month.

Parrot Lounge
911 Sunrise Lane Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
954-563-1493
http://www.parrotlounge.com Fun. Food. Libation. Those are the words stamped above the door at the Parrot Lounge, one of Fort Lauderdale's oldest bars. And you can bet that the folks inside stick to that slogan. Tucked inside a corner near the beach, the red-brick building is sandwiched between tattoo shops, and despite its close proximity to a slew of spring-break hangouts, this is no tourist trap. Technically a beach bar, but you'd never know it. The exposed brick walls, sports memorabilia, and patrons make it feel like a Northeastern watering hole. Tip: It's known to be a Philly hangout, so other fans beware. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Passion Nightclub
5701 Seminole Way Hollywood, FL 33314
954-321-3443
http://www.passionnightclub.com It's hard to miss the long, vertical, purple neon sign that reads Passion along the avenue at the adult-theme park Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Greeted by a faux red carpet, you'll enter the multi-level nightclub that caters to a diverse clientele with a variety of music and cabaret shows. Stretched, glittery "chandeliers" dangle above the dance floor, contributing to the club's retro-chic ambiance, and red and white neon lights illuminate the bars, at which you'll definitely pay a price for your buzz -- and for hydration as the club has its own water brand.

Pat's Place Sports Bar
635 E. Atlantic Blvd. Pompano Beach, FL 33060
954-942-6164
Pat must be a fan of sports and sunshine, because his "Place" is a great spot to take in both. Outside, there are plenty of tables that allow for breeze enjoyment and a good view of the TV, and inside, high-def TVs and large windows border the spacious, smoking-friendly room. Though the sign out front says "restaurant," you won't be handed a menu upon entering Pat's. However, snacks like hamburgers and hot dogs are provided for munching daily during happy hour and Sunday during games. With plenty of booths and barstools, Pat's Place is a winning site to see the big game and the light of day. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Pavilion at Seminole Casino Coconut Creek
5550 NW 40th St. Coconut Creek, FL 33073
PayZins
3111 N. University Drive Coral Springs, FL 33065
954-510-7400
http://www.payzins.com/p/ Step into the bar portion of Payzins and settle into a cozy environment. Mirrored walls meant to open up the space line the small, square bar. Dim lighting and cushy barstools invite guests to relax and enjoy cocktails in the upscale yet casual space, which is generally for the over-40 set. Indulge in a dirty martini and some old-fashioned doo-wop Thursday nights. Weekends bring a live DJ spinning Top 40 music. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Pearl Restaurant & Lounge
1 Ocean Drive Miami Beach, FL 33139
305-538-1111
The monied and well-dressed bask in the warm orange glow of this strikingly designed room, where a circular champagne bar is the center of attention -- that and the beautiful women who hover around it. Getting through the door of this exclusive venue (located above Nikki Beach) can be difficult at times, but once inside, the sexy vibe and cold bubbly will make you forget you ever waited.

Pelican Landing
2301 SE 17th St. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
954-525-6666
http://pier66.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/entertainment/restaurants/index.jsp Pelican Landing is the more casual watering hole adjoining the Hyatt's Pier 66 (Grille 66 is the upscale neighbor). But you wouldn't know it by the docks of million-dollar yachts you have to walk past to get there. Look east and the marina, peppered with sailboats and sports fishermen, seems to go on forever; look west and the waterway only gets more enchanting with views of the 17th Street bridge and, well, only more envy-inspiring as the yachts get bigger and more expensive. It's not an all-night spot, as it closes at 11 p.m., but sit outside on the second-story patio for one of the best atmospheres for watching the sunset.

561-732-3333
The infamous gambling man's legacy is still with us. But, no matter whose name is on the sign out front, it's still a great place to catch a game and have a couple of beers. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
The Phoenix
5707 Seminole Way Hollywood, FL 33314
954-581-5454
http://www.seminolehardrock.com There's luxury, and then there's "Super VIP," the local descriptor for extra-posh experiences dedicated to serving exclusive clientele. Phoenix, located inside Gryphon, is a venue dedicated solely to providing this level of nightlife entertainment. The Seminole Hard Rock continues to provide unparalleled service, for a price. The best of top shelf bottle service isn't cheap. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
The Pirate Republic Seafood Bar & Grill
400 SW Third Ave. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315
954-761-3500
http://www.piraterepublicbar.com The old Shirttail Charlie's location is tricky to access by car (tucked in a maze of streets behind Andrews Avenue) but is one of Fort Lauderdale's best. How many downtown restaurants boast 150 feet of waterfront on the New River? The biker/pirate motif is contrived but fun, and Pirate Republic is actually a step up from the past. Drinks have names like "One-Eye Mojito" and "The Jack Sparrow" and "Fuzzy Buccaneer," and the food, featuring a deep, wide selection of shellfish dishes, has taken on a Mediterranean flair. Suck it all down while you soak up the scenery and watch yachts and tour boats glide past. Diners and drinkers can ride to the restaurant via water taxi or float up on their personal watercraft -- there's plenty of room to tie up. And if you don't enjoy boat-watching, the Florida East Coast Railway sends dozens of trains over the nearby drawbridge daily. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
The Pit
2140 Scott Ave. West Palm Beach, FL 33409
PJ's Corner Pocket
924 N. Flagler Drive Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
954-533-0257
PJ's Corner Pocket in Fort Lauderdale, despite its reputation, is not a gay bar. It's not even a bar. It's a bottle club that caters to a professional crowd. Sure, it has a calendar filled with buff beauties on the wall. And a website with a provocative leading photo: two err "agreeable" looking young men sit; one in his underwear, one in jeans, both showing off amazing pecs. But the 2000-square-foot cozy-chic lounge that moved from Wilton Manors to its new location on Flagler, is as welcoming as it is comfortable. Loads of couches, TVs with anything from news to sports to TNT, food brought by members, and a pool table sans the usual layer of ash, make the spot feel like your living room. Except possibly on Wednesday, when they have strip-pool night. The stylish spot will run you a $10 membership, if you're lucky enough to get invited. (Membership drives are on Tuesday... shhh).
