Tarpon Bend Food & Tackle

Nary a frat house or sorority row in sight, but Tarpon Bend’s ample customer base sure looks and acts the part. Himmarshee’s busiest pickup spot and happy-hour hangout finds reggae and cover bands to regale the white-collar crowd.Since it opened more than a decade ago, Tarpon Bend has anchored that bustling corner alongside the train […]

Tequila Ranch

You may not want to return to the scene of the crime that involved a bucket’s worth of Coronas and one too many rides on a mechanical bull, but if you can brave it, you’ll be rewarded with standout Mexican fare for lunch, dinner or late-night dining. Try a plateful of salsa-covered scrambled eggs atop […]

Tequila Sunrise Mexican Grill

Unless they’re tiny taco stands, Mexican restaurants are hit-or-miss down here. Tequila Sunrise is almost always a big hit, and the fact that you can get 50 tequilas plus Dos Equis amber on tap (!) is part of the reason. Multiply those factors by the number of margaritas available and you risk the serious possibility […]

The Manor Complex

Located in the heart of Wilton Manors, this multilevel, medieval-themed 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. Dripping in crystals and filled with cherubs, swirling wallpaper, and pulsating LED lights, the Manor could pass for the Queen […]

Tipperary Pub

It’s always funny to see the retro pubs — this one has the coolest “cocktails” sign ever — now touting Wi-Fi. This dark-wood and Irish-geegaw-decorated bar has it, though, along with some real Irish grub. Breakfast features Irish bacon, bangers, and blood pudding (imported from County Cork), omelets, pancakes, and biscuits and gravy. It’s bar […]

The Tipsy Boar

Going well beyond French fries and chicken wings, this laid-back downtown Hollywood gastro pub serves up comfort food with a twist. A Reuben spring roll comes with corned beef twisted inside a wrapper and fried until crispy. Lobster corn dogs are filled with generous chunks of sweet lobster meat. The dishes may change, but the […]

Toby’s Billiards

Pool, pool, and more pool. This is what Toby’s Billiards in Downtown Hollywood is all about. Smokey and dimly lit, the almost windowless joint is a dream home away from home for the local pool sharks. Trophies fill glass cases, neon signs illuminate the walls, and the room is packed with tables. While the décor […]

Torpedo Bar

Get hot and sweaty dancing all night with the boys at Torpedo. This gay dance club caters to a mostly younger male crowd, looking to party all night. Since it’s open till 4 a.m., you’ll have plenty of time to drink and cruise the scene. Hole up in a cushy VIP booth, or keep your […]

Trapeze

Austin Powers may claim to be the man who put the “grrr” in swinger, but he has nothing on the guys who own the Trapeze Club, which sends whatever image you may have of a swingers’ club out the window. Behind its bland storefront are plush surroundings that make the Trapeze the Ritz-Carlton of “alternative-lifestyle” […]

Treasure Trove

A beachside hideaway for the local drinkers is found within Fort Lauderdale’s Treasure Trove. Nautical trimmings and beer knickknacks are scattered along the walls where locals sharing stories occupy the high top tables and barstools. The jukebox fills the room with rock ‘n’ roll favorites, and the ocean breeze blows through the open-air dive. The […]

Tricky Dick’s Pub

Tricky Dick’s is a casual, blue-collar spot by day, and a lively gathering of 20-somethings by night — especially on Mondays from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m., when women drink free. Located off 441 in west Boca Raton, this low-key watering hole boasts the regular bar swag: beer signs and lots of sports on the […]

If you’re looking for a place to […]

The Vagabond

The outskirts of Miami’s Overtown hood are becoming a gentrified version of the Sunset Strip in LA. This club’s DJ plays Bad Brains, as skate videos are projected onto a large outdoor movie screen. Any questions? Famous UK DJ John Digweed is one of the owners, we voted it the Best New Bar in 2008, […]

Village Pub

Who doesn’t like a good gay bar? If you’re female, you get the pleasure of being crammed into one room with an abundance of testosterone that’s not going to molest you as you dance. If you’re a gay guy… same opportunity, maybe. Sounds like a great time to me! Village Pub is a good place […]

The Village Pump

Upscale but located in the beach hub of Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, the dimly lit Village Pump serves a casual crowd that doesn’t want to skimp on its booze or food. The great drinks slide across a marble bar, the wine list is more than adequate, and the food comes from its sister restaurant the Village Grill, located […]

Village Well

Hidden off 17th Street on Cordova, the nautical-themed Village Well caters to a mixed crowd. You’re as likely to see the weathered village drunks – happy hour runs from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily! – as you are the snazzy Frank Sinatra wannabe or young adults watching football and playing pool. The giant bar […]
