17 Best Bar & Grill in Fort Lauderdale

“I can't fully express how exceptional this restaurant is. I organized a sunset cruise for a group of 24 guests, but unfortunately, they didn’t have the provisions (food) we were expecting. In a moment of panic, I contacted the owner, Jackson, and explained the situation, hoping for a backup plan within 30 minutes (sounds impossible 🥵). Not only did he agree to accommodate us, he immediately began preparing for us. Once we arrived, he and his team welcomed us with such warmth and hospitality. Our table was beautifully set, complete with a customized and printed menu just for us. He chose 3 dinner options for our party and actually had custom printed menus! Wow!! Drinks, salad, and bread were flowing within minutes, and the food? Absolutely divine—without a doubt the best Italian cuisine we’ve ever had. To top it off, there was a live performer who was fantastic! Totally unexpected, we had no clue there was entertainment but such another great treat. She engaged with everyone, took song requests, and even invited guests to join her to sing. The entire experience, from the atmosphere to the impeccable service, was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Jackson even served our table personally and jumped in to assist his team, going the extra mile to make us feel welcomed and special. He continued to check in and make sure we were ok and had everything we needed and accommodated every single request ❤️ I am incredibly grateful for everything. Jackson and his staff turned what could have been a stressful situation into an unforgettable evening. This special group of oncology nurses truly deserved a memorable night, and thanks to you, we got exactly that. Thank you so much for making it an experience we will never forget! 🥰“

“No food, but fun rooftop. Just be prepared to have to shuffle to the bar....packed but very upbeat. Not super diverse, but it is a mixed crowd which is good. DJ kept it popping. If you're in Las Olas Def stop by and shake something.“

“Had a great time and shout out to the bartenders! Fr“

“One of the last Great place in south fl. to see good live original music.“

“Freddie’s is a well-equipped a bar for sports enthusiasts: More than a dozen large screens can be tuned to multiple sporting events. As a bar, it had a limited but satisfying beer and liquor selection but offsets that lack of variety with high quality food. The wings are amazing, and there are lots of fried seafood, salads, sandwiches and burgers, all fresher and tastier than you’d expect. This is also a no frills bar for locals, a true neighborhood hangout worth getting to know even if you don’t live in the neighborhood.“

“The food was great and Heather our server was Awesome!“

“We had such a great experience at Lulu’s Bait Shack! We stopped in for a late Friday lunch, and our waiter was absolutely the best — fun, attentive, and just added to the whole vibe. The atmosphere was super chill as we sat overlooking the busy beach from their second-floor location. (Check out our social media page if you need help finding the entrance! @TurtleNestBungalow )

The food and drinks were fantastic — exactly what you want from a classic Fort Lauderdale beach spot. It’s also very close to Turtle Nest Bungalow, making it an easy go-to for guests looking for a relaxed but memorable meal.

If you’re looking for casual vibes, great food, beach views, and strong drinks, Lulu’s is a must-visit and a true local favorite. Highly recommend! 🌴🍹🌊“

“We evacuated to Ft Lauderdale from Port Charlotte during hurricane Ian and stumbled upon this wonderful Sandbar Grill while in town. Service was so amazing the first night that we had to go back. Overall, the staff and the food and the drinks were amazing!!! Everyone was so friendly and it totally helped us keep our minds calm knowing that a hurricane was hitting our home town. Thank you for your congeniality!!!“

“This place is very very fun! Beautiful dancers! Drinks are decently priced! The atmosphere is very Ratchetesque, gotta love it! Perfect place to keep the party going after everywhere else closes! They have pool tables and darts! The sound system is very good inside as well! Music is bumping all night and morning till 10am!!

Parking: On the weekends they only charge $5 for parking, the parking lot is small but i havent had an issue finding a spot yet. Not sure if there is other parking around or not.“

“The food was slow to come out, that’s really the only complaint. A long and diverse group of patrons. Over 20 televisions to watch almost and game. The staff was kind and helpful. I’m an out of state guest and I found the general atmosphere to be welcoming and fun.“
