Irish pubs, British pubs, German brew houses — many places bill themselves as heirs to some distant, drink-happy culture. Few places deliver the sights, sounds, and tastes of the originals. Lion & Eagle British-American Pub, however, is the real deal. Forget that it’s wedged into a minuscule Boca Raton strip mall. Clear of the front […]

You don’t go to Fort Lauderdale’s Lips to eat but to be eaten: The drag queens and divas who patrol the crowd have a sharp eye for a sweet little morsel like you to chew on, so wear your thickest skin. Dinner shows, with a full three-course menu, are at 8:15 or 8:30 Tuesday through […]
The stretch of Dixie Highway from West Palm to Boynton Beach is a wonderland of dive bars: the Office, Harry’s Banana Farm. But the Little Owl Bar is the coziest, with its mix of blue-collar Budweiser drinkers and the Lake Worth progressive set (you shall know them by nose rings or dangly earrings). The Owl’s […]
Located in the luxe Fontainebleau, LIV is upscale and known for its glamorous oomph. The VIP section is separated with velvet ropes and tight security. Balloon ceiling fixtures and lights displaying an array of trippy colors animate the large main space. The lower level houses a dance floor, and the upper level boasts a bar […]
Not to be mistaken for the Living Room Night Club formerly on Las Olas Boulevard, Living Room at the W Hotel on Fort Lauderdale Beach offers a chic, loungey alternative to the permanent spring break vibes of most other bars and clubs on the strip. More suitable for a sunset snack and drink or intimate […]
Crowned home of the three-legged dog, Lucky’s Tavern is the latest addition to the downtown Himmarshee drinking district, replacing Coyote Ugly. The interior structure wasn’t given much of a face-lift, but it has been cleaned up quite a bit.

An oasis along the commercial strip in North Miami, this funky acoustic music stronghold has a relaxed community vibe, where customers do indeed know each other. It’s cozy, with a smattering of tables, a bar, and a stage that supports live music and readings. The friendly, casual service, then, fits right in.
A tiny tobacco shop where you can get a range of quality cigars and cigarettes as well as beer and wine. Its intimate setting is perfect for making chitchat.
Although other Irish bars may stay slightly truer to the Irish Pub image — Waxy O’Connor’s and the Field spring immediately to mind — Maguires, which is owned by an Irish family, still retains a huge helping of mementos and scenery from the Auld Sod. With numerous “Best Of” awards under its belt, this cozy, […]
The Mai-Kai is easy to love. It’s not that its oversized tiki cocktails and Lobster Tahitienne are anything to write home about. It’s just that you can’t set foot in the place without succumbing to a deep enchantment: You’ve entered a waking dreamworld, part Blue Lagoon, part Monkey’s Paw. Maybe because it’s dark as a […]

Having weathered the economic downturn that knocked off some of its neighbors, this Las Olas mainstay is still kicking. Of course, this corner joint comes with some of that boulevard’s highbrow appeal (you can spend $17 on a salad here). It’s popular place for a power-lunch, an interview, or a first date – it smacks […]

McSorley’s Beach Pub boasts friendly service and some really cheap drink specials – that’s about as far as its Irish-ness extends. Still, this watering hole is a haven for anyone looking for that perfect blend of bar vibes: beachfront chill, frat-party sloppy, and now, with its recent renovations, upscale lounge. The upstairs patio and sundeck […]

Prevailing economic forces would have you believe that you shouldn’t spend money you don’t have; that if you’re not a rock or rap star, you shouldn’t party like one. But there’s another way to treat this moment in history: as an opportunity. It separates the true players from the pretenders. MI-VI in Gulfstream Park is […]
