Musicians know – there’s nothing worse than a busted instrument. But luckily for everyone in the vicinity of Pompano Beach, there’s Gary Philips. He started Alpha Kinetix back in 1979, and these days he’s the master craftsman for all things musical. Your amp will reward you with some seriously sweet tunage. So play on.
The Oar House looks like a funky little fishing shack and boasts a relaxed vibe to match. This relic of Pompano

Neanderthal Man’s idea of a food truck was probably a wandering brontosaurus. Modern Man has BC Tacos. BC’s tacos are less authentic Mexican than its namesake’s eclectic take on everyone’s favorite thing to do with a tortilla. They are more or less standard steak, chicken, and seafood tacos, along with such quirkier variations as fried […]
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 […]
Adore the new girlfriend but still not sure whether she can handle your Sunday football fanaticism? Then take her to this game-day headquarters and test her endurance. If she’s a keeper, she won’t mind your attention drifting to one of several TVs broadcasting football, baseball, basketball, wrestling and NASCAR because she’ll be entranced in the […]
This Pompano neighborhood bar is for storytellers. Sure, the bartender will tell you, sometimes they’re the same stories. You’ll be the thousandth ear that’s heard that Buccaneer regular, the middle-aged ex-yachtie or rabble-rouser, relate the time he got pulled over with rum and pot. Spoiler: The cop let him go — phew. But here you’re […]
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 […]

Old gambling dens never die; they just fade away. Cap’s Place, set on an island in what used to be acres of scrub and beach sand, is now surrounded by million-dollar condos and even pricier yachts in Lighthouse Point, but that just makes the nostalgia even richer. In 1928, Cap Knight and friend Al Hasis […]
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, […]
At this unassuming Portuguese restaurant, there’s cod-and-jumbo-clam stew; deep-fried cod with onions and fried potatoes in garlic sauce; grilled cod with steamed potatoes, olive oil, and garlic sauce; cod covered in onions and mayonnaise with mashed potatoes; and a lot more. Of the 30 or so entrées on the regular menu, 15 are cod dishes […]
