Abuzz with playful conversation and flickering laughter, Georgie’s Alibi is the lighthearted hub of gay life in Wilton Manors.

When the light melts away, the music swells and ballad-bellowing divas flood the television-covered walls in a torrent of danceable beats.
It’s not uncommon to find Geronimo’s packed at the end of the workweek. You’ll find the same crowd during happy hour as you’ll find stumbling out at 2 in the morning. Geronimo’s is one of those rare neighborhood bars whose regulars aren’t crusty, chain-smoking curmudgeons. Young professionals and younger college students from nearby Nova, BCC, […]

Fort Lauderdale is filled with a colorful array of hidden dives, including the 70-something-year-old Grady’s Bar. This is a locals-only spot and certainly not for the weak-hearted. The dim interior is somewhat reminiscent of an old moose lodge with drop ceilings, cigarette machines, and wood laminate walls. Grady’s even has a shrine dedicated to itself. […]
In addition to the air conditioning, cold beer and cocktails as their entrance advertises, Wynwood’s Gramps is home to lots more. Like rock acts on the regular, DJs spinning vinyl and plenty of dance space. Plus occasional gator shows. And lots of dark nooks and crannies for whatever else you might want to get into. […]
The multilevel Green Room is the latest addition to the America’s Backyard/Revolution family, providing the downtown Fort Lauderdale locale with a unique nighttime hangout. Although chic in décor with white leather couches, fancy lighting systems, and Marie Antoinette-style chandeliers, the attitude is far from that of red-velvet roped-off club. An enormous dance floor fills up […]

Surrounded by tiki torches and a canopy of foliage, directly off of the well-trekked Lake Avenue, Havana Hideout feels more like a relaxed backyard party than a stuffy culinary destination. Sit with the sand in your toes in one of several folding chairs and dig into plates of empanadas seasoned with ground beef, shredded cheese, […]
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, […]
The best area hotel is not a hotel at all — it’s a B&B, one of the few stalwarts of its kind to survive surrounded by sprouting condos and opulent resorts. Hibiscus House in West Palm Beach offers luxury on a small scale, trading the quiet ambiance of a palm-lined street in West Palm’s Old […]
Put it this way: if you moved to Fort Lauderdale, and nobody told you about this place, you need new friends. The historic Downtowner is a Fort Lauderdale institution meeting traditionalist, utilitarian needs: Friday’s the fish fry night, Monday is steak night, Tuesdays it’s ribs, etc. The Sunday brunch stays a longtime favorite draw, crammed […]

Away from the madness of Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach is the quaint and hidden Hurricane Bar and Lounge. Simple in design, the interior bar is filled up mostly by a large wooden bar and a mural of swaying palm trees appropriately lines the walls. The outdoor tiki area has a nautical theme with scuba […]
You wouldn’t notice it but for the small sign sticking out into a side street, bearing the word HUT in plain lettering. There’s something about bars next to package stores — a genuine friendliness that 10,000 hipsters couldn’t manufacture or reproduce. The bar here circles the middle of the room like a welcoming sandbar for […]
