Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach Bar and Club News and Reviews

Featured Bars/Clubs

Yard House

The chain restaurant from California, named for the yard-high glass originally created to serve stagecoach drivers, spurts more than 200 beers on tap - the main draw.

A ritzy alternative to the beach-bum bars at Beach Place, the W Hotel's Whiskey Blue boasts a sultry décor: Low, blue lights artfully drip from the ceiling, and a muted yellow glows behind the liquor on the shelf at the horseshoe bar.

Stratford's Bar

Good news for the budget-conscious: Draft beers are always $1.75, and during happy hour, they're $1.25.

Bierbrunnen Pub
427 S. Fort Lauderdale Beach Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316

Amid the sightseeing, tattoo/piercing shops, clubs, and touristy bars littering A1A, one bar lies hidden from view, concealed for the rest of us homegrown Lauderdalites who want a place on the beach we can still call home; a place that doesn't look like mini-Mardi Gras hour. Don't worry; we know we have to share. And if you tourists wander in, feel free to sit. But Bierbrunnen is our space, even though it's technically German. It's got the best beer selection on the beach, from Pabst to Rogue to Oktoberfest and Holy Mackerel, and the essential ingredients for your nonfruity cocktail: Stoli, Grey Goose, the Captain. Hungry? The menu has Bratwurst dishes galore. So relax, play some pool, feel the beach breeze keep you cool in the intense Florida sun, and get your schnitzel on.

Big City Tavern
609 E. Las Olas Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33301
954-727-0307
http://www.bigtimerestaurants.com This classy bar and restaurant is one of Las Olas' key pickup scenes. Dinner is served in over-sized, circular booths, from which the diners can eye the folks at the bar and vice versa. Big City Tavern is reminiscent of the classic, traditional taverns of New York City, Chicago, and Boston. With a dozen international brews on tap and two dozen in bottles, Big City Tavern's selection might seem short when compared to those sports bars that pride themselves on 99 bottles of beer on the wall. But as the saying goes, it's not the quantity, it's the quality. And beer snobs all over South Florida slobber over the pints of Warsteiner (Germany), Guinness Stout (Ireland), and J.W Dundee's Original Honey Brown Lager (New York). The bar turns up the power with the Grolsch 16-ounce megabeers from Holland and domestic microbrews like the Abita Turbo Dog from crawfish country, Louisiana. Best of all, the Tavern stocks four Samuel Smith imports from England, ranging from the brewery's lager to its imperial stout. You'll pay more for any one of these last few than you will for a glass of merlot, but hey, Sam Smith's Nut Brown Ale has twice the bouquet of any vino out there.

Big Dawgs Sports Cafe
10010 NW Sixth Court Hollywood, FL 33024
954-435-2901
Big Dawgs Sports Cafe II
7357 Davie Road Extension Hollywood, FL 33024

Recently opened in Davie, Big Dawgs II is the sister location to its longtime neighborhood bar in Pembroke Pines. The interior walls are exposed brick and adorned with kitschy sports memorabilia and musical trimmings. There is even a wall that looks like an old locker room, paying homage to favorite sports teams. Opposite the bar, tables are scattered throughout, and a metal stage sits in a corner. With an array of pool tables and a variety of live music throughout the week, there is no shortage of happenings to hold your attention. Extremely laid-back, the atmosphere is just as relaxed as the bar's patrons. Giving off a bit of a locals-only vibe, Big Dawgs II never provides with a dull moment.

Big Dog Station Sports Bar & Cafe
3148 NE 12th Ave. Wilton Manors, FL 33305
954-561-4304
http://www.bigdogstation.com Big Dog's Station is a casual indoor/outdoor Oakland Park watering hole and sports bar with a sizable, generally middle-aged local following. Flat-screen televisions that play football and baseball packages line the top of the bar and one inside wall. The long U-shaped bar is lined with people during happy hour, and a small outside bar has a small but amusing crowd. On the side patio is a pool table and picnic-bench-style seating.

The Big Easy
1925 Hollywood Blvd. Hollywood, FL 33020
954-924-3006
http://www.thebigeasybarandgrille.com A touch of New Orleans flavor can be found beyond the doors at Hollywood's blues and jazz hot spot, the Big Easy Bar and Grille. Exposed brick interior, warm color schemes, and Mardi Gras murals mimic that of a bar in the French Quarter. In addition to the full liquor and beer selection, the Big Easy offers authentic New Orleans cuisine mixed with American selections. Throughout the week, the stage is never empty, and music from the local talents packs the house, leaving standing room only. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Bill's Filling Station
2209 Wilton Drive Fort Lauderdale, FL 33304
954-567-5978
http://www.billsfillingstation.com It's easy to imagine the male gay bar scene to be covered in glitter with half-naked boys running around in neon and grinding to house music. Well, Bill's Filling Station is just the opposite. Low-key and laid-back, it's more of a neighborhood, no-frills kind of joint. After entering and walking through a narrow dimly lit hallway, it's revealed that the bar is a lot bigger than you would expect. There are flat-screen TVs broadcasting the latest sports events and a pool table in the back, and most of the crowd is mid-30s and up, all dressed casually. A large portion of the patrons are sipping on beers; there isn't a Tartini or pink cocktail in sight. A well-sized dance floor is opposite the brightly lit stage, and another bar is near the back. There are $5 vodka specials on Saturday night and various theme parties throughout the week. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
The Billiard Club
2610 Sawgrass Mills Circle Sunrise, FL 33323
954-835-1114
What you may not know is that nestled in the "Oasis" - the outdoor division of the mall, near Ron Jon Surf Shop and the movie theaters - is a complete sports bar and pool hall, offering the perfect spot to take a break from the madness. The Billiard Club has two other locations in Miami Lakes and Davie, but the Sawgrass location has developed its own fan base of concertgoers (BankAtlantic Center is right next door, so expect preconcert specials and afterparties), mall walkers, and sports fans. UFC fans, rejoice: All paid fights air live at the Billiard Club, but you better arrive early, because seats fill fast. Nearby employees also frequent the spacious, brick-walled locale for "in the biz" specials, including free pool Sunday and Monday. And while you can take your pick of more than 40 specialty cocktails, the drink specials may be a better bet: Wednesday is "Bucket Night" (four for $10), and it's happy hour every day from open to 8 p.m., when you can get two-for-one Amstel Light, Miller Lite, and Heineken drafts as well as double well drinks for the price of a single. There's a sprawling menu of munchies to choose from; popular choices include standard appetizer fare like wings, calamari, and spinach dip - and the Phillys are always in high-demand. Come in Monday through Friday and order a drink or food item and get a free hour of pool. Night owl? Head to the Billiard Club on Friday or Saturday nights, when pool is free from 2 to 4 a.m. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Billy's Pub
11471 W. Sample Road Coral Springs, FL 33065-2696
954-753-9456
Billy's Pub is a hidden hole-in-the-wall gem in the Coral Springs neighborhood. Having been around for quite some time, this little bar has become a drinking spot for many of the locals. A wooden bar sits in one corner with a pool table, arcade games, and dartboards on the other end of the room. Although Billy's serves only beer, patrons don't seem to mind. In this completely relaxed atmosphere, the jukebox is filled with rock tunes that keep the crowd singing along. Instead of Sunday football, stop by Billy's for Zombie Night, an evening of watching old-school horror movies. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Billy's Tavern
8580 W. State Road 84 Plantation, FL 33324
954-475-9464
Friendliness and casual comfort define the sports haven Billy's Tavern in Davie. Located on the tail end of a strip mall, Billy's gathers Pittsburgh enthusiasts and football regulars whose hearts pump black and gold blood and whose eyes are glued to the large projection screen on Sundays. But Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens fans don't have to fret, the welcoming environment extends from the customers to the waitresses to the bartenders. The pub only serves beer and wine, in addition to a full menu. But don't come here for the impressive selection of exotic brews or a perfectly blackened grouper. Instead head to Billy's for all the familiar faces during a happy hour that runs 3 to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 1 to 6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

Bimini Bay Bar
412 SE 32 St. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
954-768-0960
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Bimini-Bay-Bar/158407007898?fref=ts Hidden in a dark parking lot within earshot of airplanes landing at FLL is Bimini Bay Bar -- the czar of all dive bars, the sultan of all things skanky. The underground watering hole relishes the fact that it is a bit obscure and unknown to the general public. Heck, the banner outside the building proudly reads "located somewhere in Ft. Lauderdale." This is probably because it serves more than just beer. Once patrons enter the smoke-filled, cash-only establishment, they're greeted with undergarments stapled to the ceiling and adult films playing on the television above the bar. The young lady performing fellatio in the porno is likely to look very familiar to you, and after ordering a $2.25 Miller Lite, you'll realize why. Yep, the bartender and the porn star are the same person; everyone just got an eyeful of her mouth wrapped around something similar to the neck of your beer bottle just a few moments prior. It's no wonder the risqué haunt opted not to have windows. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Bimini Boatyard
1555 SE 17th St. Causeway Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
954-525-7400
http://www.biminiboatyard.com In 2008, Fort Lauderdale's Bimini Boatyard was sold. Chef Michael Bennet - a decorated veteran of Fort Lauderdale's Left Bank - was brought in to overhaul the menu, and the musty carpeting and worn dining room was ripped out and replaced with smooth hardwood floors and bright-blue seating. But does it matter what the dining room looks like or how many awards the chef has won? When I go to Bimini, it's not for ceviche (pre-made and terrible) or mango "coulis-grette" (watery) or however many tobacco onions you top your dishes with (they're soggy anyway). It's to sit on the docks and eat a fresh piece of grilled, Florida fish - snapper, grouper, mahi, or swordfish - which are still on the menu and still under $20 at lunch. As long as they leave that part intact, we're OK. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Black Rose Irish Pub
234 S. Federal Highway Boca Raton, FL 33432

Boca Raton's Black Rose Irish Pub is the type of bar that transports you back to the old Irish neighborhood of Boston. The interior of the bar has exposed brick walls adorned with beer memorabilia complete with fireplace to give that Northeastern feel. A large wooden bar fills up one side of the front bar area, and a stage in the back is surrounded by small tables under a spinning disco light. A handful of large flat-screen TVs occupies a space behind the bar above the glowing liquor bottles showing off music videos and the latest sports happenings. When a band isn't playing onstage, there is an electronic jukebox providing musical hits of past and present. In addition to the large interior, there is a large outdoor patio area with more than a dozen patio tables illuminated by lanterns. Amid the upscale bars and restaurants in the surrounding Mizner Park area, the Black Rose provides a relaxing and casual atmosphere. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

The Blind Monk
410 Evernia St. West Palm Beach, FL 33401
561-833-3605
http://www.theblindmonk.com Hidden away form the Clematis Street madness is the Blind Monk, a chilled-out wine lounge. Once a loft, this two-story building has been transformed into a wine lover's paradise. In one corner, a square bar made of wooden wine boxes sits opposite the plush leather couches and enormous movie screen. In the middle of the room, tables made of wine barrels are illuminated by candlelight. From the ceiling dangles glass bubbles filled with lights. The walls are adorned in wall paper with facts and tidbits about various wines. On the second level, bottles of wine are piled to the ceiling, and with more than 400 choices, there is no shortage of options. Cozy and quaint, this charming wine bar is ideal for a first date or a low-key night of tasting with friends. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Blue Anchor Pub
804 E. Atlantic Ave. Delray Beach, FL 33483
561-272-7272
http://www.theblueanchor.com Push through the ancient window-paned doors and British accents will pop and crackle as they mingle with island dialects and "Jeepers Creepers," the 1930s jazz song. Red and green carpet, lit softly by lanterns, guides your way through Blue Anchor British Pub. Red curtains hang over old-fashioned windows; tea kettles hang suspended from the ceiling; and old-world paintings decorate the walls. A bookshelf runs around the perimeter of the joint, stacked high with trinkets, old tomes, and decoy ducks. An assortment of national flags hang in every direction on the wooden walls, creating a historic feeling. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Blue Boar Tavern
1306 N. Military Trail West Palm Beach, FL 33409
561-686-3865
http://www.blueboartavern.com A scrawled sign outside the Blue Boar advises that bare feet and tank tops are forbidden after 8 p.m. ("Dress Code Enforced 7 Days!"). But once you've got your sandals and T-shirt on, this high hog is serious about late-night hunger management. Blue Boar purveys homemade chicken noodle soup, beef quesadillas, char-grilled cheeseburgers, garbage fries, and a full lineup of classic greasy bar bites until 4:30 every morning. From all over the county, waitresses and line cooks point their sore feet and foul moods straight for the Boar; they keep showing up in shifts — midnight, 1 a.m., 2 a.m., 3 a.m. — to shoot pool and throw darts or fuss over the pinball machines, to slump at the bar and watch ancient Mike Tyson fights on the dozen TV screens — until brain, belly, and aching hooves have at last fully recovered. Even the bleariest dishwasher wouldn't call these onion rings or hot roast beef sandwiches gourmet fare, but in the deepest hours before dawn, there's a whole lot of comfort to be had from a gooey grilled cheese and a shot of Jack.

Blue Jay Lounge
301 SW 15th Ave. Pompano Beach, FL 33060
954-941-4616
For more than 20 years, Blue Jay Lounge has taken care of its dear regulars and welcomed newcomers morning, noon, and night -- which all look the same inside this dark, smokey hideout by the railroad tracks. Once your eyes adjust to the darkness, you'll find ashtrays, 12-inch TVs, a pool table, and pictures of the Blue Jay family hanging on the wall next to Bahama Bob's old, retired guitar case. If it weren't for NASCAR races and NFL games (both projected onto a big screen for watching parties) reminding patrons that the weekend has rolled around, it'd be easy to lose track of the days inside this beloved, local haunt.
