19 Best Dive Bars near Fort Lauderdale

Kim's Alley Bar Bar • $
920 NE 19th Ave, Fort Lauderdale

“We LOVE Joe!!!! My friend desperately wanted to play Pool so we stopped by this bar, not sure what to expect. It was one of those nights you expect to turn in early but end up having so much fun that you stay out for much longer. The bar has 3 pool tables, 3 dart boards, and some video games. Bring cash if you want to play pool! No beer on draft but a good selection of beer options. Joe was the only one working the bar and he made us feel at home even though it was our first time here. I think he is a huge part of why folks come and stay at this bar.“

“I cannot say one bad thing! I almost don't want to say anything because this place is so great, I want to keep it to myself! However, the word must be out because the vibe.... Awesome! The beer is cold and tasty and they have wine too. The food trucks are phenomenal, BUT THE WHOLE VIBE!! So welcoming and friendly! I come to town about 5 times a year and will definitely stop in each and every time!!“

Bimini Bay Bar Bar • $
412 SE 32nd St, Fort Lauderdale

“If you like dive bars, well you found the dive of all dives. This place ambiance is grundge, late night,cash only, get drunk and forget your worries. The time I spent there the TV's had interesting media playing so if you're sensitive, not your place. The bartender was super nice and quick to serve you. No issues with patrons or service had a great time and will probably end up there again. But not on purpose.“

Josie's Too Bar • $
2660 Griffin Rd, Fort Lauderdale

“Josie's Too is a dive bar. And if that's what you are looking for you have to stop in. We were in Ft. Lauderdale for a cruise but wanted some drinks the night before. Josie's was close to our hotel so we Uber'd on over. The bartender greeted us immediately and asked us where we were from etc. This is definitely a bar where everyone knows everyone. We told her we were just in town for the night and wanted a couple of drinks. She asked how we found them...if we had searched for a "dive bar." I laughed and told her that was exactly what I did! We had a blast during our visit. We spent a few hours drinking beers and chatting with the locals. Super friendly group and more than one of them bought us beers. I cannot remember the last time a stranger just bought me a beer to say 'welcome.' Oh, one more thing. Josie's is beer and wine only. Don't come here if you want a fancy cocktail. Do come if you want cold beer.“

“This place is amazing! My fiance and I have been coming for years. We met Letícia about a year ago, she's amazing. I have worked in dive bars (Aka hole in the walls, your local watering hole, real bars) for 15 years. This is the place I go. Not elbow room, not on the strip, right here at hunters. They have great service. Play current music. And know how to have a good time. I will never miss a night in ft lauderdale without stopping at hunters“

“Michelle was a such a sweetheart. My friend and I were staying at an AirBNB right next door, and we decided to check this place out. Service was great, she was so attentive and kind and even gave us a couple dollars for the jukebox. She recommended good food spots and a vape shop, and was so genuine and kind. Kept conversations going and was so helpful! Definitely made our trip better and if we’re ever in town again we will visit this place! One of the greatest people to come across in Hollywood. Give it a chance! Will not disappoint :)“
