The accouterments at the 12 O'Clock High Lounge are just as laid-back
as the drunkards inside. There's a pool table for the sharks, a tiny
stage in back housing local acts, and a cash-only policy. With its
location off the Hollywood Broadwalk, it's no surprise the crowd is
made up mostly of locals and randoms stumbling in off the sand. The
tipsy patrons sit along the long wooden bar telling stories and
cheersing one another for no reason other than just being drunk. The
bartender has a heavy pour, and if you stick around, a free shot might
come your way. The no-nonsense 12 O'Clock High Lounge may not be a
destination point, but it sure is "just one more drink before we go"
kind of place. More >>

With its slew of nightlife venues, the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood is the equivalent of a Disney World for adults, and 88's Dueling Pianos is its Space Mountain. It's here that pianos literally engage in duels several nights a week. The line-up also includes an '80s night, a karaoke night, and a rock and roll show. So you won't miss it, a giant mural of piano keys is painted on the wall. More >>

Hidden off Sample Road, Allstars Sports Bar is the type of place that only the locals know about. A long bar surrounded by tables and chairs fills up the front area of the smoky bar. With TVs in every booth, sports fans can watch the game, no matter what. The more-than-casual Pompano drinking destination has a sizable crowd of regulars, generally ranging from early 20s to mid-30s. There are late-night specials throughout the week, including free alcohol for "dancers," ladies' night, and on Wednesdays, Marioke with DJ Mario is not to be skipped. Open until 4 a.m. every night of the week, it's the bar everyone visits to grab that one last drink before heading home. More >>

Although affiliated with the small, beachy Archie's on Commercial Boulevard and A1A, the two bars couldn't be more different. Where the east bar takes pleasure in a cozy dive atmosphere amid neighborhood tattoo shops and dry cleaners, Archie's West takes advantage of a large space that locations out west commonly boast. A darts player's paradise, Archie's West doesn't have windows. Instead, there are rows of old-school dartboards. A large island bar is docked in the first room, serving the typical selection of drafts and liquor (fun fact: Archie's serves Seven Tiki Spiced Rum). The second room is even roomier, with three walls of dartboards and a pool table in the middle. Archie's shirt says it all: "Get to the point." More >>

http://www.myspace.com/area7musicandale Dark and moody, Area 7 Music and Ale is an off-the-beaten-path kind of hangout for a locals-only crowd. A platform stage surrounded by mirrors near the front door is often occupied by a local rock band trying to make a name for itself. Busty women in corsets fling around the stripper polls and dance in the cages to the alternative music blaring through the speakers. The large wooden bar in the center of the room is filled with tattooed folks sharing stories about being on the road and days gone by. The walls have all the typical bar trimmings, including neon beer signs and electronic dartboards. There are nightly specials throughout the week, including ladies' night and $20 for all you can drink for the guys. More >>

http://www.arubabeachcafe.com As far as bars go, Aruba Beach Cafe is quintessential South Florida livin'. It hasn't really changed much since it opened in 1983. Both tourists and locals frequent this classically Floridian (read: pastel-colored), upbeat eatery located on the water next to the Commercial Boulevard Pier. In addition to a menu of delectable seafood entrees, two bars offer fruity cocktails, serious cocktails, and the company of locals and tourists. The menu includes seafood favorites like conch fritters, a fresh mahi-mahi sandwich, and the blackened seafood trio, plus turf specialties like the Aruba burger and the goat cheese salad. Watching the beach through the vast ceiling-to-floor windows may be the main draw, but people also love the laid-back atmosphere. Flip-flop your way in to hear live music any day of the week. Steel drums provide island versions of your Top 40 favorites. The hardest choice you'll have to make will be between indoor seating with a view or outdoor seating overlooking the beach. After all, Aruba's sandy spot next door to Commercial Boulevard fishing pier makes it the bona fide beach spot in a village of beach spots. More >>

http://www.automatic-slims.com At the Seminole Hard Rock outpost of this raucous party establishment it's likely a beautiful vixen in a miniskirt will pour liquor down your throat from an upside down bottle as soon as you walk in the door. The plush environs are well appointed with luxury accoutrements in sound and seating. Live cover bands and DJs of popular music perform Tuesdays through Saturdays, and the bar opens at 5p.m. happy hour and closes at 4.am. breakfast.

http://www.bbkingclubs.com Catch live blues, rock, reggae, funk, and other acts at this CityPlace venue, where the menu is as soulful as the music. From Louisiana's gumbo ya ya, to Memphis's ribs, and Southern "chicken-fried chicken", to catfish, chili spaghetti, burgers and sandwiches, B.B. aims to please comfort food cravings. Fried pickles or sweet potato puffs with caramel dipping sauce are choices to eat while waiting - and it's possible to encounter that wait since service can be spotty. The restaurant can get loud, too with a band up close to tables in the dining area. Don't expect to bring a date and have romantic conversation during performance times. Prices are moderate, though for a few acts, there's a cover charge and limited seating, especially when B.B. and Lucille show up. More >>

http://www.bedmiami.com This self-explanatory supper/dance club oozes silky seduction with a dreamy decor featuring king-size beds garnished with snow-white drapes. Nightly house music and hip-hop affairs attract a jet-set crowd. This is one hard place to get a seat: Beds take up waaay more room than tables. And then there's B.E.D.'s reservation system. There are exactly two seatings per night, one 8 to 8:30 p.m., the other 10:30 to 11 p.m. But once one is seated (or gets laid, whatever), then comes the surprise: a standout crabcake appetizer and terrific crayfish tapenade. Main courses include roasted rack of Australian lamb, which features a full-bodied mustard-tarragon sauce, and pan-seared Chilean sea bass sauced with a rich but light herbed vermouth cream. Desserts like the "Go Deep" cappuccino crème brûlée are more outrageous than original and the only food items that seemed to pander to B.E.D.'s gimmick aspect. More >>
