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 […]

Typical of South Florida sports-bar excess, Duffy’s piles it on in every way: Huge, heart-stopping piles of meat. Flat-screens covering every conceivable surface showing every competitive match from around the globe. Nubile waitresses clad in gimmicky outfits. In its previous incarnations (Red Zone, Original Steakhouse) not much was different. Ribs, chicken wings, quesadillas and the […]
The single person and the takeout-Chinese restaurateur have an interesting relationship. With the barber and the mechanic, there’s banter. With bartenders, there’s chat. But with the Chinese takeout guy, there’s not much to say. You order, “Szechuan chicken, hot-and-sour soup, and an egg roll. For one.” He gives you the price. You arrive ten minutes […]
