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.

Bahia Cabana Beach Resort
3001 Harbor Drive Fort Lauderdale, FL 33316
954-524-1555
http://www.bahiacabanaresort.com South of the commotion at Beach Place, Bahia Cabana is an oasis of local Fort Lauderdale culture. Tucked away between docks, the Bahia Cabana resort/hotel the bar boasts strong drinks and a ceiling littered with knickknacks, such as street signs and Florida license plates. With the beach across the street, locals and tourists alike drink and eat at the bar, in the attached restaurant area, or out on the dock overlooking yachts. For those arriving via water, dock space is free for bar and restaurant patrons. Tourists, to remember you're in the tropics, order specialty drinks like the "World's Best Frozen Pina Colada" or the "Frozen Pink Lemonade," both $7. Standard domestics cost $4.50, premiums $5. The wine list is extensive and fairly cheap, with no glasses more than $7.50. Throw one back with an order of conch fritters before you walk over for a day in the sun across A1A.

The Best Cellar
2424A Wilton Drive Wilton Manors, FL 33305
954-630-8020
To get to the back of the Best Cellar, pass the early-'60s photos of Paris landmarks and shelves upon shelves of wine. In the back are four dark wood tables set with wine glasses, small plates, and buckets (for the wine you don't drink). That the name of Richard Stetler's Wilton Manors wine bar/boutique wine store exclaims the venue's greatness is not surprising given the proprietor's penchant to brag. In his words, the weekly winetastings at his shop would "cost $200 anywhere else" and are "priceless." That's particularly true on Wednesday nights, when the "novice meets the sommelier." Stetler boasts about the impressive knowledge of his customer base and the prominent industry insiders he says come through the door. He also brags that his skill at shopping for wine produces lower-than-you'll-find-anywhere-else markups, showing he takes pride in all aspects of the Best Cellar. All of this self-congratulation is served up on a teaspoon of quiet charm that gives the lanky mustached Stetler a tolerable authority as he leads tastings from Wednesday through Saturday nights - starting at 8 p.m. and ending when they end. The $15 tastings, which are accompanied by bread, crackers, and buffalo mozzarella, include an average of 12 to 15 wines, but with the bonus wines that Stetler likes to pour, that number can reach well above 20. Reservations are recommended. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

East Side Pub
2376 N. Federal Highway Wilton Manors, FL 33305
954-566-0001
http://www.theeastsidepub.com There are a lot of great things about the East Side Pub: great bar food, plenty of free parking, centrally located in Fort Lauderdale off Federal Highway. And Pittsburgh Steelers fans will travel from all over the tricounty area to watch their favorite team play at this joint. The team's memorabilia covers the walls, and a big yet unobtrusive wooden bar is docked in the center. Although it's packed during football season, East Side Pub uses the small space with plenty of tables and seating at the bar so you won't feel too crowded watching the game. Even if you can't grab a seat, you won't have any problem seeing the screen - there are more than ten TVs, and most of them are huge.

The Jib Room
2104 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Wilton Manors, FL 33306
954-564-3581
http://southflorida.menupages.com/restaurants/the-jib-room/ Many things recommend the Jib Room beyond the average price of the entrées ($10.95 for penne a la vodka! $15.95 for a pork chop!). One is owner and attorney Deborah Carpenter-Toye, who comes right over, grabs your hand for a firm shake, and focuses like she's slipping your pertinent info into some brilliantly organized file drawer. A seafaring Caribbean menu includes shellfish stew, mahi fingers with creamy cilantro dip, filet mignon of tuna with orzo, plus comfort-food staples like fried chicken and mac and cheese. The house specialty pistachio poundcake, also sold by the loaf, is to die for. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
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 >>
The Manor Complex
2345 Wilton Drive Wilton Manors, FL 33305
954-626-0082
http://www.themanorcomplex.com Located in the heart of Wilton Manors, this multilevel megaclub is the place to hit for a long night of dancing, bass-thumping music, and leaving with a bit of body glitter on your skin. Extensive in size and dripping in crystals, cherubs, and medieval décor, the Manor could pass for a royal castle. In the main room, a DJ spinning pop music's greatest hits and EDM is positioned high above the gyrating and grinding crowd below. Disco lights and smoke machines provide that South Beach nightclub feel. The crowd is mostly of the male persuasion and extremely high-energy. You won't catch anyone just lounging around looking for intimate conversations. This wild, anything-goes atmosphere is not for the faint of heart. Weekly events include Bubblegum Fridays and Noche Latina Saturdays. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Meg's Cheekee Sports Bar and Grill
2935 N. Federal Highway Wilton Manors, FL 33306
Michele's Dining Lounge
2761 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306
954-533-1919
http://www.michelesdl.com Nestled in a strip mall alongside East Oakland Park Boulevard is Michele's Dining Lounge, a neighborhood bar with an upscale twist. An enormous crystal chandelier glitters above the entryway, and Frank Sinatra's music echoes throughout the contemporary-styled lounge. Illuminated top-shelf liquor bottles line the marble bar where groups of 50-somethings sip on specialty-infused vodka martinis and snack on light hors d'oeuvres. Included in the martini selection is the "Ducktini," a citrus-flavored cocktail from which half the proceeds are donated to Kids in Distress. Michele's fusion of a trendy environment with a casual attitude provides loungegoers with an eclectic drinking experience. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Mickey's 19th Hole Bar & Grill
2739 E. Oakland Park Blvd. Wilton Manors, FL 33306
954-561-1911
At first glance, it looks like an old-timey sports bar. Hockey, baseball, and football memorabilia stares out at you from all corners, including one wall devoted to Babe Ruth. But truthfully, Mickey's is simply a local drinker's paradise, sports nut or not. Good beer, a back room with pool tables and booths, a beautiful wooden bar, and good service are a few things waiting for you here. Some patrons yell at the TV, some at each other. But don't bother anyone and no one will bother you. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Mickey's 19th Hole West Lounge
2735 N. Dixie Highway Wilton Manors, FL 33305

Affiliated with the Mickey's on Oakland Park Boulevard, this Wilton Manors location off Dixie Highway offers a lot of the same old-timey charm but in a much more condensed space. Like its sister location, it's heaven for neighborhood drinkers, not only because of the cozy décor but the good service. The one-room space, which opened 18 years ago (two years after the spot on Oakland), hasn't changed much. Sports memorabilia line the walls and smoke wafts throughout. A small back area opens up to a dartboard and a cigarette machine, though most gather around the opposite end of the bar, watching sports or sipping on a brew. You won't find any spirits here, but that's the trade-off for a no-nonsense crowd and the fun history lessons waiting on the walls. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>
Miller's Ale House
2861 N. Federal Highway Fort Lauderdale, FL 33306
954-565-5747
http://www.millersalehouse.com/FORT%20LAUDERDALE.htm Located on a busy stretch of Federal Highway, the Ale House is perhaps Lauderdale's leading go-to spot for pitchers, wings, and big games on huge TVs. Backing up these sports-bar staples is a full lunch and dinner menu boasting items such as whole Maine lobster, a variety of signature burgers, and more than ten salad options. Though the place typically draws enough people to create stadium-sized roars during games, there are plenty of booths, high tables, and barstools to accommodate every rump in the cheering crowd. On off nights, the Ale House is a relaxing place to shoot some pool, have a couple of brews, and talk strategy for the next big matchup.

Naked Grape Wine Bar
2039 Wilton Drive Wilton Manors, FL 33305
954-563-5631
http://www.nakedgrapewinebar.com Pairing exquisite wines and cheeses is already an art form. So when we admit that the Naked Grape elevates it even further, we're not sure what to call it. Oeneriffic? Fromagasmic? With 40 wines by the glass (rotating on a menu that changes every fortnight), your waiter will direct you to some of the more potent combinations. And he'll do that while you're bathed in cozy, romantic candlelight. Additionally, you'll be bombarded with unfamiliar wines, since the vast majority are from small-batch boutique wineries. That's not to say the Grape won't let you quaff an ale - on the contrary, it's well-stocked with domestic micros and specialty imports. In 2008, New Times named Naked Grape the best place to meet intelligent gay men so you may want to wear those horn-rimmed glasses and the tweed sweater with elbow patches. We've seen no signs of dumbing down. Read more about this Fort Lauderdale and Palm Beach bar or club >>

Dance music blasts, gay-culture knickknacks litter the walls, colorful lanterns light the outside patio, and a good-looking friendly staff serves your food and drinks with a wink.
