Musicians know – there’s nothing worse than a busted instrument. But luckily for everyone in the vicinity of Pompano Beach, there’s Gary Philips.

The Oar House looks like a funky little fishing shack and boasts a relaxed vibe to match. This relic of Pompano

Neither sleazy nor overly pretentious, Booby Trap is a club where ham-fisted security guards aren’t watching your every move. The atmosphere is more discotheque than roadhouse, and variety is the name of the game: Dancers have been pulled from the ranks of amateurs, local pros, and porn stars. On a recent Wednesday night, a steady […]
A “traditional” Irish bar located smack dab on the corner of Sleazy Street and NE Drunk Avenue in Pompano. Really doesn’t sound like it should work, right? But the clientele that packs the Briny every night (especially Saturday night, when Rob Rage, the Briny’s own rock ‘n’ roll cover band, plays) doesn’t give a shit. […]
Remember Friar Tuck, that rotund disciple of Robin Hood whose proselytizations involved food and booze more often than God? Well, if the goodly father had found his way from 11th-century England and somehow landed smack in the middle of Pompano Beach, he’d have quit the priesthood and opened Brother Tuckers, a saintly themed gastropub that […]

To many Americans, Italian food is Southern Italian: period. While we tend to favor eating our way through the entire spectrum of the peninsula, we wouldn’t have a problem with the red-sauce-only notion if we could keep coming back to Cafe La Buca in Delray Beach. Not the most elegant and not the most expensive, […]
Got a hankering for some marinated, pounded, and “scorched” conch? A craving for chicken curry stuffed in roti? A feeling for mahi, fried and squirted with lime? If so, a visit to the islands-inspired Calypso is certainly in order. Casual and ultraclean, the pub serves Caribbean fare to those who have had it with local […]
Munchen, as in Old-Munchen, is German for Munich. But it’s also a signifier of the spirited good times cooked up at this Pompano Beach eatery in that the place feels just like a beer bar set in the historic Bavarian capital. The small restaurant is lined with beer bottles and decorative steins and anchored by […]
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, […]
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 […]

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 […]
This cozy cottage restaurant hidden in Pompano Beach has been serving German-style breakfast and lunch since 1979. As the long lines suggest, it’s just about the perfect breakfast joint. On any given day, the whiteboard tacked on the tiny cottage’s far wall is filled with intriguing specials. There are eggs accompanied by all manner of […]
Contrary to the oft-played jingle, not all of America “runs on Dunkin’.” Resist the chain donut experience with a visit to this homey 24-hour donut shop. Dandee’s name can be deceiving, as they offer plenty of non-donut options from philly steak sandwiches to sausage and cheese bagel sandwiches, plus home fries and a proper cup […]
Originally a flagship of the Dennis Max restaurant group, this establishment was once known simply as Cafe Max. When Max sold out to the restaurant’s manager, Darrel Broek, and executive chef, Oliver Saucy, the change was made to show both its lineage and its future. Today, Broek and Saucy continue to create culinary magic nightly […]
