An upscale lounge dedicated to the “Camelot lifestyle,” this West Palm Beach dancehall is, as owner Rodney Mayo puts it, where the “sophisticated South Floridian” comes to party. The place is an homage to the Kennedys’ love of the ocean, sailing, and Palm Beach. Inside, the decor is yachty and preppy with framed photos of […]

Capone’s on Himmarshee Street in Fort Lauderdale embodies the sort of one-track-mind nightclub that either keeps you coming back for its consistency or sends you running for some place with at least a shred of personality. Things you can count on from Capone’s: DJs playing a stream of Top 40s and in-your-face dance hits and […]
A classy respite from the noise and hubbub at Beach Place, Casablanca Cafe sits on A1A across from Fort Lauderdale Beach in a quasi Mediterranean-style structure. You’ll know you’ve arrived because there is no other establishment as packed for at least half a mile north or south. Sure, there may be a wait, but enjoying […]
In Fort Lauderdale, bars come and go quicker than the tide rolls in, but every now and then, one opens and decades later new generations of locals are filling up the barstools, just like here at Cheers. From neon signs to pool tables and sports memorabilia, the drinking hole has all the quintessential trimmings, but […]
Strip clubs appeal to the simplest impulse of man: sex. So how did we let the strip club become so damned high-concept? Is the modern man really unsatisfied with merely the sight of impossibly gorgeous nude women? Must he also be seated on some regal piece of furniture within a palatial space throbbing with neon, […]

Fort Lauderdale’s independent Gateway movie theater might not be able to boast chef-prepared foods deliverable to high-back leather recliners like at the big mega-chain multiplex, but it’s now possible to enjoy a specialty glass of wine or craft beer before walking over to your first-run indie flick. That’s thanks to Chill Wine Lounge, the “deco […]
All the flashy, thumping clubs that fill our cities are enough to make bargoers nostalgic for the watering holes of bygone days — the kind in the old Westerns, where folks can drink, dance, and shoot a game of pool. For the city-dwelling cowpokes, there’s Chit Chat’s Lounge. Chit Chat’s is a clean, classic, laid-back […]
Miami is sorely lacking in decent rock clubs, so Churchill’s is home to many a scruffy punker who is too real for South Beach. A pair of pool tables, a large room for bands, and a sizable outdoor patio help house the mainland rock faithful.
Let’s get one thing straight up front: Clowns are fucking creepy. And circuses are mostly filled with sanctioned animal abuse and freaks who don’t believe in gravity (until it hits them in the face). But not all big tops are bad. The Circus Sports Bar and Grill in Pompano has a fantastic collection of clowns […]
In the back of a strip mall on Federal Highway in Deerfield Beach is the City Pub, an enormous bar in which to catch some live music or take in some interesting conversations with the locals. The dimly lit bar is smoky and filled with an older crowd sipping scotch and whiskey. An enormous bar […]
Lesbian hangouts may be few and far between, especially in a place as unsuspecting as the quieter beachside city of Hollywood, and yet, there’s Cloud 9 Lounge. As divey as they come, Cloud 9 is the kind of place you turn to for good conversation — and when you’re in need of a stripper pole. […]

Our inaccessible geography aside, one major reason bands have forsaken us is our preponderance of pathetic venues with nasty bathrooms, bad sound, no parking, and just a general all-around malaise. Part of the problem is that few live music venues were designed as such – believe it or not, we’ve had everything from Cuban restaurants […]
Hidden behind a long line of industrial buildings and a throng of warehouses is an oasis home to a pair of nefarious grails our parents warned us about: sex and rock ‘n’ roll. Club Vixens, the latest brainchild from the folks behind Scarlett’s Cabaret, aims to be more than just a strip club; it wants […]
Congas Nightclub features live bands and DJs who play the spectrum of Latin music from salsa to merengue to reggaeton and even spin a little bit of house and hip-hop. Congas’ understated storefront is located in the back of a Plantation strip mall between a Goodwill and a Chinese buffet. With 1,700-plus likes on its […]
In a word, “massive.” The Cove is one of the largest bar/restaurants in the area, with an indoor seating area the size of any respectable restaurant, plus a stage, a bar that counts itself the centerpiece of the room, and several outdoor areas. One of these sits right on the water, so boaters can dock, […]
Wednesdays and Fridays are ladies’ nights at Cowboy’s Saloon, a surprisingly expansive bar, restaurant, and line-dance hall housed in between a Bed Bath & Beyond and a Pet Supermarket in a Davie strip mall off of University Drive. Ladies and gents with a hankering for some boots-knockin’ will want to stop by on either of […]

Crane’s Beach House Hotel & Tiki Bar is a local paradise, a luxurious resort recalling exotic locales right in our backyard. Established in 2001 by Michael Crane, it’s the kind of all-purpose hideaway equally suitable for parties and vacations both long and short. If you stay in one of the 27 guest suites, you’ll have […]
The Cubby Hole is a gay neighborhood watering hole that dubs itself “the best little butch bar in Fort Lauderdale.” A dimly lit, downtown hangout, the place somehow seems both rustic and urban, with brick and blue wooden walls, a platform with three dance poles, and cute, colorful lamps. The one-room juke joint features a […]
It’s hot, loud, and way too crowded. But would you expect anything less from a rock club? The Culture Room books an eclectic mix of bands. On any given week they might have David Allan Coe, the Misfits, Johnny Winter, a local group of hardcore rockers, and northern Europe’s meanest-sounding death metal makers. What sets […]
