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 […]
Our inaccessible geography aside, one major reason bands have forsaken us is our preponderance of pathetic venues with nasty bathrooms, bad sound, no parking, and just a general all-around malaise. Part of the problem is that few live music venues were designed as such – believe it or not, we’ve had everything from Cuban restaurants […]
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 […]

Hardly anybody beyond Willie and Donna Schlager seems to want to run a cozy little seafood café anymore, the kind of place where you order blackened dolphin or broiled yellowtail; where oysters are sautéed to order for a cream-rich stew and waitresses stagger under the weight of bristling platters of Alaskan King crab legs; where […]
For some of us, the French Quarter in New Orleans conjures images of French architecture, lively street musicians, and great food. For others, the quarter is a neon blur of blues bars, beads, and atomic green cocktails. The French Quarter Bar and Grill in Pompano seems to be going for a restaurant/sports bar hybrid – […]

Promised the ol’ Battle Ax that you wouldn’t go to the strip bar tonight? Well, if you’re a man of your word and you have a hankerin’ to be around scantily clad women, that could be a problem. Happily, Greenbrier has got you covered. On many nights, admittedly, standards have to be set a little […]
This place, Jughead’s idea of heaven, is so good that you’ll overlook the missing ed after fashion in its name. The atmosphere is starker than Ellsworth Kelly’s tomb. Sink your teeth into a half pound’s worth of ground-fresh-daily-from-whole-briskets-of-USDA-inspected-beef burgers. Why not?
