Royal Pig Pub & Kitchen

The latest addition to the burgeoning Las Olas nightlife scene is the Royal Pig Pub. Across from Vibe and YOLO, this watering hole is for those in need of a more casual bar scene. The interior is ornate but not overdone and gaudy. Constructed almost completely in wood and brick, the castle-like inside will make you forget that the bar is in the middle of Fort Lauderdale. The décor has an assortment of kitschy – but useful – details like desk lamps illuminating the bar top. Opposite the shiny wood bar and chairs trimmed in red velvet is an array of table tops with medieval-inspired details. Although a dozen or so TVs broadcast the games, they don't make the place feel like a sports bar. Outside is ample seating as well as another bar complete with enormous fans to keep the summer nights cool.
