Although Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is becoming the new stomping grounds for a swankier local crowd, the old Florida vibe of beach-living survives at Ocean Mist Pub. The warm wooden decor and nautical theme will draw you in, the friendly service will convince you to have a drink, and the pool table will make you stay. No cheesy, […]

With a view like this, it’s no wonder this oceanfront bistro is packed during season with snowbirds snapping phone photos of the pier to taunt snow-shoveling friends back home. A wide selection of seafood anchors the menu at this casual-chic spot, but it’s the creative extras like seafood hummus or beef picadillo empanada that shake […]
Off the Hookah is downtown Fort Lauderdale’s dance club, hookah lounge, and waterfront dining wrapped up in one sexy, Mediterranean-themed venue. Vegas-style flair bartenders serve the drinks, belly dancers arouse the onlookers, and the Mediterranean and sushi menu tantalizes the taste buds. There are cabana beds throughout the venue; thus, you can ask someone to […]
This German chalet-themed restaurant been open since 1991 and sports an adjacent deli next door where the original owners, Dieter Doerrenberg and Heidi Brueggeman, make sausages, schnitzel, and all sorts of German baked goods daily. Old Heidelberg’s menu is almost as big as the cavernous restaurant itself. There’s plenty of meaty German fare like schnitzel […]
Historic complex of buildings features the Crest Theatre, Cornell Museum, classrooms, banquet rental facilities, and educational and outreach programs.
Old is the new new. Especially in a city like Miami, where historic charms are often bulldozed to make way for new school crap. Thank God for the Gusman Center for the Performing Arts, a shining beacon to Miami’s glamorous past, smack dab in the middle of downtown. Erected in 1926 as a home for […]

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 […]
For those seeking a grittier alternative to the suits and heels scene on Las Olas Boulevard, Fat Cat’s is a downtown Fort Lauderdale mainstay featuring dark, Americana-littered walls, an eclectic program of local live music, and a formidable selection of cheap beer. Active types dance and sing along an inch from the stage, while the […]
The namesake of the Paladium in Pompano Beach is definitely an homage to New York City’s Palladium Ballroom, a Latin music dance hall, which from 1948 to 1966, brought in the likes of Tito Puente and La Lupe — the place became legendary. And the South Florida Paladium channels the Ballroom’s soul in the most […]
Fun. Food. Libation. Those are the words stamped above the door at the Parrot Lounge, one of Fort Lauderdale’s oldest bars. And you can bet that the folks inside stick to that slogan. Tucked inside a corner near the beach, the red-brick building is sandwiched between tattoo shops, and despite its close proximity to a […]
It’s hard to miss the long, vertical, purple neon sign that reads Passion along the avenue at the adult-theme park Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Greeted by a faux red carpet, you’ll enter the multi-level nightclub that caters to a diverse clientele with a variety of music and cabaret shows. Stretched, glittery “chandeliers” dangle above […]

The news that Miami’s famed Pawn Shop club was reopening on Clematis Street got the blood of jealous 305 folk boiling but planted pleasant party smiles on the faces of folks in West Palm Beach. Trying to re-create a club that was actually in a pawn shop with an indoor school bus, an Airstream trailer, […]
Pelican Landing is the more casual watering hole adjoining the Hyatt’s Pier 66 (Grille 66 is the upscale neighbor). But you wouldn’t know it by the docks of million-dollar yachts you have to walk past to get there. Look east and the marina, peppered with sailboats and sports fishermen, seems to go on forever; look […]
Located in Delray Beach’s burgeoning downtown Pineapple Grove area is the music venue Pineapple Groove. Just east of the train tracks on Third Avenue, an immense marquee lights up the sky and music vibrates through the front doors, making the 8,000-square-foot club impossible to miss. Inside, two huge bars stand tall on each side of […]
The old Shirttail Charlie’s location is tricky to access by car (tucked in a maze of streets behind Andrews Avenue) but is one of Fort Lauderdale’s best. How many downtown restaurants boast 150 feet of waterfront on the New River? The biker/pirate motif is contrived but fun, and Pirate Republic is actually a step up […]

Formerly known as Himmarshee Bar & Grille, PL8 specializes in small plates, which include seafood, sliders, skewers, pizzas, salads, and greens. A stylish dining room is anchored by bar tables of reclaimed wood and sleek steel. Abstract silk-screens and varied textures nod to nature. Accent lighting is easy on the eyes too, especially in the […]
Plush Pony ain’t the kind of place to start line dancing. Those cowboys at the L-shaped bar, and yes, they’re probably real cowboys, won’t appreciate the two-step you learned in dance class. They’re more likely to accept a drunken jig on the makeshift dance floor of linoleum tile sandwiched between the pool table and the […]
