http://www.starwoodhotels.com/whotels/index.html Not to be mistaken for the Living Room Night Club formerly on Las Olas Boulevard, Living Room at the W Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach offers a chic, loungey alternative to the permanent spring break vibes of most other bars and clubs on the strip. More suitable for a sunset snack and drink or intimate group outing than a raging all-nighter, this upscale bar features an outdoor terrace with great views of the ocean and plenty of luxurious table and sofa real estate inside. A modern color palette of silver, white, and blue and ambient LED lighting throughout complement the overpriced cocktails and the affluent 20-somethings who drink them. If the DJ changed things up with some occasional house or lounge music instead of sticking to Top 40 hits, Living Room at the W might stand out as more than just another tourist trap on Fort Lauderdale beach.

Pier 66's the Lounge feels like a modern café. Sleek in its décor with an ice-blue theme and leisurely, loungey seating, the bar boasts views of the hotel's pool and a substantial menu to go along with your boozing. The alcoholic options are more limited than a typical bar and more limited than what the rest of Pier 66's drinking spots like the Pelican and Grille 66 & Bar offer. But it is more comfortable and anonymous than the others and perfect for a quiet drink after work or before a night out. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Crowned home of the three-legged dog, Lucky's Tavern is the latest addition to the downtown Himmarshee drinking district, replacing Coyote Ugly. The interior structure wasn't given much of a face-lift, but it has been cleaned up quite a bit. Monstrous flat-screen TVs replace the lingerie collection, the various novelty flags are nowhere to be seen, and a photo of Charlie Sheen hangs behind the bar. However, the venue's appearance isn't the only thing that's been spruced up - the staff is mostly male, and there isn't a body-shot-serving, fishnet-wearing bartender in sight. It's safe to say Lucky's is the antithesis of Coyote Ugly. In addition to an enormous selection of liquors to choose from, there are 18 beers on tap, including a few craft brews (and they're not too pricey - about $5 each). Lucky's Tavern doesn't have a gimmicky concept hiding behind its doors; it's just a simple watering hole to visit with a group of friends for a round of pool, catch a game, and listen to live music.

http://www.lulusbaitshack.com Great view no, awesome view and okay food. Directly across the street from the beach, on the second floor, Lulu's has perhaps the best ocean panorama of any bar or resturant on that stretch of A1A. The breeze that fills this open-air eatery tends to remain stiff -- nice for the A/C bill, not so kind to plastic cups. Daytime is usually filled with tourists and undiscriminating locals shopping at BeachPlace, and nights can turn a tad frat-boy bacchanalian. (This is the place to order a rum runner, with a floater, in a "souvenir bikini glass" shaped like a headless lady's body.) The New Orleans-style menu items are adequate, but the oysters are pre-shucked, though the fried alligator remains a true treat. You'd never bring a Louisianan here and expect her to be impressed, but when you absolutely have to wolf down a shrimp po-boy, Lulu's is right here.

A tiny tobacco shop where you can get a range of quality cigars and cigarettes as well as beer and wine. Its intimate setting is perfect for making chitchat. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
http://www.maguireshill16.com Although other Irish bars may stay slightly truer to the Irish Pub image -- Waxy O'Connor's and the Field spring immediately to mind -- Maguires still retains a huge helping of mementos and scenery from the Auld Sod. With a whopping seven "Best Of" awards under its belt, this cozy, neighborhood Irish bar is truly a place for all occasions, be it a raucous Saint Patrick's Day party, an afterwork drinking session, or dinner with the fam. Traditional fare like bangers 'n' mash and lamb stew mingles with sandwiches, salads, and some very large burgers. Drinks are poured strong by a staff that knows just how you like 'em, and a two-for-one happy hour includes free bites of food. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
http://www.maikai.com The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It's not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It's just that you can't set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You've entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey's Paw. Maybe because it's dark as a cave or because you're never more than ten feet from running water. Or because the cocktail waitresses are dressed in Barbarella-era bikinis or because, as you grope your way through room after room lit by jewel-colored lanterns, there's a kitschy-surreal surprise around every corner. What most people are looking for is the Polynesian dance and fire-eating shows, which are fun, for sure. And the Mai-Kai's daily happy hour in the bar, with half-price food and drinks, is fair game for any bargain hunter. By the time you finally make your way out to the winding, torch-lit path in the garden, you're feeling as intrepid and remote as Henry Morton Stanley trailing Livingstone through the Congo.

http://www.mangosonlasolas.com Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard's highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It's popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date - it smacks of professionalism. That carries to the kitchen, which pumps out semi-fancy grub with panache. Entrees are adventurous but not so crazy they'd bother Grandmother, and most feature an Italian flair. The outdoor tables - even the interior window seats - are perfectly positioned for late-night people-gawking on this trendier-than-thou strip of Fort Lauderdale's prime real estate, and live bands play nightly.

Lodged between the Parlor and Brick Rock Bar, Manual Fatties is a no-frills watering hole in the Riverfront bar scene. A large, metal bar fills one end of the venue, which sports exposed ceilings. A variety of liquor bottles is lined up behind the bar, where massive television screens project music videos, sports happenings, and computer graphics. Opposite the bar top, a series of stools lines a wall of windows, ideal for a bit of people-watching. The décor is minimal and clean, giving off an industrialized feeling, similar to that of a bar in the meat-packing district. Often packed with college crowds, the party usually spills onto the streets outside the bar and rarely provides for a dull moment. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
http://www.mcsorleysbeachpub.com McSorley's Beach Pub boasts friendly service and some really cheap drink specials — that's about as far as its Irish-ness extends. Still, this watering hole is a haven for anyone looking for that perfect blend of bar vibes: beachfront chill, frat-party sloppy, and now, with its recent renovations, upscale lounge. The upstairs patio and sundeck areas, together newly dubbed “Tonic,” have been remodeled with large flat-screen TVs, disco balls, and color-changing LED lighting, giving the whole space more of a club feel. If you're not quite in the mood to dance, don't worry. Downstairs at McSorley's is still all dive, complete with tables for beer pong and bartenders who know your name. Check out the all-you-can-drink special on Fridays, or stop by for Beach Bash Saturdays, featuring a laser light show upstairs and a resident VJ spinning hits all night long.

http://www.monasbar.com Just behind a palm reader and an insurance company on East Sunrise Blvd., you'll find Mona's. Sure it's on the wrong side of the tracks, but Mona's serves up one of the best bar environments you'll find. The first thing you'll see is the Badd Boys sign on the outside, hinting that it caters to the gay community. But hell, that penis sock over the Budweiser tap, it could go anywhere. The TVs above the bar are unobtrusive, a nice respite from all the sports bars flashing so many images at you that it's a wonder you haven't had a seizure. So if you don't feel like watching the Grammy's, honey, you don't have to. The nautical theme running throughout is just as low key, in spite of the vibrant colors. Painted fish swim on the ceiling and across the bar, and stained glass decorates the walls. The clientele is just as low key. No drama or macho scores to settle here. If you want to be obnoxious, the bartender will tell you what's up. No need to dress to impress, but ladies, that dapper guy next to you, he knows more about your Louis Vuitton than you do.

"You wanna do kegs and eggs at 1 in the afternoon? We'll do it for ya," says Jason, the friendly barkeep. That's right, this bar will make you a late poolside breakfast to coat the stomach for another day of Fort Lauderdale fun. That's an offer you won't receive at most of the numerous Lauderdale Beach drinking spots. But most are not as welcoming as the Monkey Beach Bar. The spot, by nature, aims to be the perfect host. It's attached to the Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, and most of its patrons at any given time have just strolled down from their rooms for a cold one and a bite (the full menu offers more than afternoon omelets for those who aren't perpetually craving breakfast). Locals too will enjoy the bar for its low-key vibe, extended happy hour, indoor area with a pool table, and outdoor area with a... pool. So go on, be the Monkey's guest.

http://www.monkeybusinessbar.com Monkey Business squeezes a whole lot of action into one little hole in the wall. This 5-year-old, casual, neighborhood gay bar is a ways away from the Wilton Drive scene, but the weekly calendar of live drag shows, karaoke nights, and game-show-style entertainment makes it a world unto itself. There's a horseshoe-shaped tiki bar on the back patio and a brightly decorated stage inside of the bar. Monkey figurines dangle from the ceiling and sit on most horizontal surfaces, but the name also means that this is a place where you can come to be silly and have some fun. The weekly game show starts at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays, and a drag show follows at 10 p.m. A buffet is served during the Saturday-night drag show, which starts at 9:30. Karaoke is from 9 p.m. to close on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Monkey Business offers happy-hour prices until 8 p.m. A $7 Grey Goose cocktail pours for $5, and a $5 Captain Morgan pours for $3.75 during happy hour.

Mrs. Murphy's feels like time-traveling back to the 1920s. Well, at least on Sundays, when jazz group the Danny Burger Band plays. And just like the music, the booze flows for the crowd packing the house from 6 to 10 p.m. Lit only by faux stained glass lights peppering the left side, and by blue Christmas lights encircling the bar, Mrs. Murphy's is a great place for those looking to go unnoticed. From the outside, the most conspicuous things about the white building housing Mrs. Murphy's off Commercial Blvd. are the two flags -- one Irish, one American -- flying high. If not for those, you might drive right by the strip mall, failing to hear the music reverberating from the front door. Walk in, and it's dark, but not too smoky (they leave the windows open). The space isn't big, but there's plenty of seating, and the layout allows for a direct view of the TVs in the front, or the stage. The crowd tends to include Bayview Drive residents aged 35 and above. When looking for good ambiance, strong drinks, fast service, and decent bar food, just look for the flags.

http://www.mugsbar.com In the evenings, the quiet strip malls that line Oakland Park Boulevard in east Fort Lauderdale seem to present no action, but the understated storefronts belie the hive of activity inside Mugs Sports Bar & Grill. A casual crowd plays Texas Hold 'Em at a table in the dining room of the bright, split-level establishment while couples chill and shoot pool in the raised bar area, which is separated from the restaurant area by a glass wall. Entertainment comes in the form of televised sports games and fights as well as regular weekly activities such as live bands on Thursdays, karaoke on Fridays, and poker on Tuesdays. Mugs offers a variety of food and drink specials throughout the week, like 40-cent wings and two-for-one drinks all night on Mondays, ten types of $3 tacos on Tuesdays, and Mug Night Wednesdays, when the purchase of a $3 mug (which you keep) gets you $1, $2, and $3 drafts. Select from a range of imports and domestics, including Guinness and Stella Artois. The regular two-for-one happy hour runs from 4 to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday. Mugs prides itself on its food. The menu transcends the venue's sports-bar aesthetic with escargots ($8.95), an ahi tuna appetizer with artichoke and caramelized onions ($11.95), and a range of Italian and seafood entrées. But, the chef admits, the most popular items are the buffalo wrap ($8.95) and wings. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
http://www.newmoonbar.com The motto at New Moon Bar is "come as you are," and the mostly female crowd's hospitable attitude certainly reflects it. Located in the heart of Wilton Manors, New Moon bar provides a casual place for the lesbian community to socialize amid the male-dominated bars on Wilton Drive. Although the interior décor is nothing special - it mimics that of any local hangout -- the eclectic bargoers and diverse mix of people make up for it. The bar is divided into two sections. The main room has all the traditional bar offerings such as a jukebox, pool, and a spacious dance floor. The outdoor patio provides a quieter and more intimate setting for those looking to get to know one another. From karaoke nights to dance parties and the occasional live music act, each night at New Moon offers a little bit of something for everyone.

http://oth.offthehookahfl.com Off the Hookah is Las Olas Riverfront’s dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Egyptian-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to go to bed without having to go home. Or ask a cutie to munch on the Mediterranean platter and share a banana/honey-flavored hookah (not hooker, wiseguy!). Also, there are drink specials during happy hour, ladies’ night, and college night to keep the party going. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
http://www.facebook.com/originalfatcats For those seeking a grittier alternative to the suits and heels scene on Las Olas Boulevard, Fat Cat's is a downtown Fort Lauderdale mainstay featuring dark, Americana-littered walls, an eclectic program of local live music, and a formidable selection of cheap beer. Active types dance and sing along an inch from the stage, while the sullen sit in the shadows watching, drinking, and loving every minute of it. Shoot a game of pool, groove to the live reggae on Wednesday nights, or hang out on the front patio for some great people-watching. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
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 >>
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.

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 >>
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).
