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.drfeelgoodsbar.com Girls, girls, girls who are now moms, moms, moms can again entertain fantasies about meeting their '80s heartthrob Vince Neil. Maybe. There have been multiple sightings at the night spot he co-owns in West Palm Beach, Feelgoods Rock Bar. Whether it be the appropriately gaudy mural with flames and skulls or the guitars that hang on the rafters and are sealed and signed in cases, Feelgoods oozes with rock 'n' roll attitude. Head here to party like it's 1989. More >>

http://www.erbradleys.com People still remember E.R. Bradley's when it was in its former location on "the island" of Palm Beach, but many things about the place haven't changed since it scooted over the water to the more proletarian West Palm. Its burgers still rock, and since the owners are from Maryland, diners can expect some seriously reliable, satisfying crab cakes. Otherwise, the menu is pretty basic. Items won't rock your culinary world, but they will fill your belly and satiate a craving. The real reason most people come is because there are few places around that feel like home to preppies, preppies turned biker wannabes, and just about anyone with even a modicum of class. Tons of outdoor seating allows for the enjoyment of Mother Nature's great contributions to our state, and it should be known that the deck tables are highly sought after. Oh, and lest we forget to mention the cocktails... this place is probably most regarded as a great spot to get your drink on. Bartenders here are dependable mixers, especially when asked to produce a classic. Yep, E.R. Bradley's has been, and will continue to be, the place to get drunk on all things Palm Beach. More >>

http://www.hgroosters.com There's an easy-going kitsch permeating the vibe inside H.G. Rooster's, and it shines throughout all the incredible activities set up seven days a week. On Sunday alone, there's a free barbecue on the patio at 5 p.m., male dancers at 6 p.m., and karaoke at 11 p.m. There's bingo on Mondays (affectionately named Sissy Bingo, with prizes in the form of both bar tabs and cash), chicken wings and karaoke (again!) on Wednesdays, and more babely dancers on Fridays. The drink specials all start after 9 p.m. and are bound to get you giddy: buckets of domestic beer are three for $7 on Tuesdays (when the pool tournament starts), all wells and domestics are $2 on Thursdays, and Long Island iced teas and domestic beers are $3 on Saturdays. There's also the occasional Saturday night cabaret - Saturday Night Divas - featuring drag shows and comedy. The place was founded in 1984 by the late Michael "La La" Brown, an AIDS awareness activist and supporter-slash-member of the local gay community. Now it thrives on his mission and soul: Everyone is welcome - and no one is bored. More >>

http://www.islandjacks.net Island Jack's in West Palm Beach is equal parts biker bar and tropical escape. The standalone building is surrounded by large palm trees, with designated motorcycle parking up front: perfect for "Bike Night Wednesdays." Just beyond the wooden doors, made to look like a ship's deck, is a bar and dining area. Pool tables and videogames take up space in one corner. In addition to happy hour, nightly drink specials mean you'll never drop more than a couple of bucks for a cold beverage. More >>

http://www.osheaspub.com This authentic Clematis Street institution has weathered tropical and economic storms, never-ending construction projects, petty politics and more, but it's still the place to come in West Palm when you need someone with an accent who knows how to pull a pint. It's always open late, making it popular with the après-concert crowd leaving Respectable Street. Every standard Irish pub dish is on the menu, with the addition of several roast beef selections. The rest is stereotypically familiar. But that's the key to O'Shea's longevity. And when you're there, try a pint of Murphy's instead of Guinness stout, and see if you don't think it's the cleaner, smoother brew of the two. More >>

Slip into bed or on a lounge or deep pillow to "dine" at this nightclub and almost-restaurant on Clematis, where it's form and fun over function. It doesn't take itself too seriously - all the faux artifacts of Middle Eastern digs are playfully interspersed with the furniture, meant for group dining. Noshes range from sushi to hummus and veggie flatbreads. Creative touches, possibly lost on this club crowd, include pomegranate-glazed duck with butterscotch sweet mashed potatoes, or crab cake with corn salsa, candied pancetta and a citrus beurre blanc. The beef's seasoned with Middle Eastern spices for a slider trio, there are a number of kabobs (kafka, anyone?), a gyro, and full sushi menu. A separate hookah menu - all non-tobacco - is on hand. Bartenders here are of the flair variety and are part of the entertainment. Lunch is a relatively quiet buffet, otherwise, it's all about the club vibe. More >>

http://www.theorangedoor.com Far too spacious and prettily lit to be a dive and down-home enough to be cozy, the Orange Door is half private party spot, half go-to blues venue. Part of a shopping plaza off Northlake Boulevard in Lake Park, the bar features a black-box-style theater setup and plenty of seating - complete with tables and flower centerpieces. Each weekend, it
becomes a heavy-duty house of blues - soul and jazz too - playing host to local, national, and international acts like J.P. Soars and the Red Hots, Tommy Castro, and Eric Culberson. Thanks to its status as a local blues mecca, it has street cred among the locals, allowing it to be suitable for all kinds of events - like the two-day Lake Worth/Miami music festival Zitfest. The rest of the week, the Orange Door is
yours for the taking - the owners are happy to book your private party or show in the space, still buzzing with the bluesy, twangy energy left over from the sizable crowds it draws each weekend. More >>
