36 Best Cocktail Bars near Lighthouse Point

“This place is totally underrated. Great atmosphere including the cigarette smoke and the bartender Conor is the real deal, way ahead of his time. 10/10 makes me feel at home and the drinks are top notch. So many places in town but I always end up here even when it's a special occasion. Wish they had bacardi limon but other than that no complaints! If you haven't been here, put it on your bucket list!“

“La Vie: A Mediterranean Oasis with Stellar Service!La Vie absolutely deserves 5 stars! From the moment we walked in, we were transported to a world of vibrant flavors and warm hospitality. The atmosphere was inviting, with beautiful Middle Eastern-inspired decor.But what truly stole the show was our server, Miriam. Miriam, originally from Tunisia, went above and beyond to make our dining experience unforgettable. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, and her recommendations were spot on. We had the beef kabob (perfectly marinated and grilled) and the farrouj meshwi (juicy and flavorful chicken thighs). We also shared the delicious labneh, a creamy yogurt dip with garlic and mint, served with warm pita bread. Everything was absolutely delicious!To top it all off, Miriam's attentiveness and genuine warmth made us feel like family. She even ran out after us to return my wife's forgotten sunglasses! This kind of service is rare and truly exceptional.Thank you, La Vie, for a wonderful evening. And a special thanks to Miriam for making it so memorable! We'll definitely be back soon.**Highly recommend:*** Beef Kabob* Farrouj Meshwi* Labneh* Requesting Miriam as your server!“

“Great happy hour and dinner experience. Very pleasant waiter handled our party of 7 well. Various offerings were ahi tuna tacos, cauliflower, Hamachi spoons, ceviche. The poppers for the table were to die for! One person had the Corvina, cooked perfectly. Great experience. Valet parking is $5.“

“Enjoyed brunch on Saturday with friends. They offer great choices on their standard brunch menu & on the specialty menu. I had the Mad Max brunch item from their specialty brunch menu. It was amazing! The service was great too, thank you Cesar!“

“We had the best experience at Casa Calabria! We ate here last year during a vacation and wanted to come back for dinner here during this year’s vacation because we loved it. The food was delicious. Mario was amazing, we had a great experience with him! We hope to have him again, he was the best!“

“Never got to try the Lake Worth location but very glad to see they relocated to Pompano. Food & service were top-notch! They have several fun specialty cocktails, or you can just stick to basics. Some of the best hummus I ever had. "The Mayor" half pound Angus burger was a pretty great size, very juicy & flavorful (devoured before me thinking to snap a pic). Sadly, I didnt get to try their tots due to their oven not working since recent power outtage issues, but will surely be back! Also, Drag Bingo was a blast and the decor is beautiful!“

“The delicious veggie fajitas and vegetarian bowl made a great weeknight dinner and enough for lunch the next day! Fresh modern decor was a welcome change from the usual themed-based decor usually found in Mexican restaurants. Staff was friendly and service was very good.“

“One of the best places to gather for a great time! Great drinks...delicious food to pair and casual and comfortable atmosphere. Owners are pleasant and welcoming and the staff is attentive and light-hearted - they will totally indulge you. A great gem in the middle of Wilton Manors. Come one, come all...all are welcome!“

“DO NOT ORDER OFF OF SLICE FOR DELIVERY.Driver took 50 min to drive 13 . food was left outside my door and ice cold .....But the 50 min old cold food gets 5 stars because it's delicious.Slice sucks. I suggest take out or dine-in.KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK PATIO BAR & PIZZA!“

“I travel to boca for work and one of my favorite spots is Rocco’s Tacos in Boca. They have the best bartender, Sal. He takes care of his customers. I don’t even have to ask for my order, he already knows. This place would not be the same without him. As long as Sal is there, I will continue to visit Rocco’s. The pork tacos and spicey margaritas are the best!“

“Absolutely loved this place. It was our first time checking this place out, party of 6. The food, drinks, service, ambiance... everything was perfect. The manager was so sweet and helpful when we asked to move our reservation from inside to outside on a Saturday night. She had our table outside ready within 20 minutes. Highly recommend the deviled eggs, boudin balls, short ribs & grits, and the PBLT. Cant wait to go back!!“

“First time in the new location. Had the potstickers, steak low mein, and dessert. Food was good. The chocolate desert was not my favorite but the others at the table liked it. The place was busy for a Monday evening. Happy hour is reasonable. Bathrooms were clean and service was good. I would come back.Side note. I plated the dessert, it doesn’t come that way. It has a drizzle you can pour. We also go the doughnuts.“

“The best margaritas in Wilton Manors…and I tried a lot of margaritas on our vacation in the area. The bar has a great atmosphere with both the inside and outside areas feeling upmarket but without being pretentious. A nice mix of people from across the community and the drinks were both excellent quality and excellent value. Classic margaritas, smoked old fashions, cosmos and espresso martinis were all on point.“

“Clark was outstanding!! I took my friends here because I have heard so many great reviews and unfortunately my group came at 9:30pm not realizing they closed at 10pm. (I thought it was 11pm). And the fact that we got phenomenal service considering we came so late I truly appreciate. Our friends were so impressed by his service and our entires were very delicious but I can’t stress enough the hospitality Clack gave us!! (I promise next time we will come earlier)“

“What a fantastic find and a very cool vibe! Took a chance based on reviews, and was very happy . The staff was extremely attentive, and waiter was kind to move our party of five to a bigger table.I had the Hot Honey chicken, which was very juicy and had a flavorful tang. My partner got the Churrasco Frites /Skirt steak on a hot skillet. When I tried some of the steak, it was extremely tender and delicious.We sampled some of their signature cocktails and we’re not disappointed. If you like, smoky bourbon, try the Firing Squad !We will definitely stop in again when we’re in town !“

“The drinks here were awesome! My favorite was the prickly pear margarita. Not too strong and just the right amount of sweetness. I love that you could do a taco platter and pick 3 different types of tacos from the menu. My favorite was the crispy chicken with hot honey! We sat outside and the weather was perfect, there was plenty of shade. Great atmosphere and service was great.“

“Really enjoyed our experience here. The staff was so personable and friendly, the food and drinks were quality and delicious. We sat on the front patio which was a fun vibe (though occasionally noisy from honking cars or the train). They had great happy hour deals. Would recommend!“

“Local gem tucked away in small shopping plaza located on Commercial near Lauderdale By The Sea. The food and ambiance were top notch. You walk in and your immediately transported to a speakeasy inspired venue space with some of THE BEST PIZZA I’ve had the pleasure of indulging in. Better than NY pizza hands down and I’m from NYC. The edges of the crust were crispy to perfection with a beautiful focaccia like interior. Make sure you order the “Ba Wit Da Za” hands down my favorite! The bartenders and servers are just as cool as the place is. Fun, edgy, full of energy and super knowledgeable on their menu. The Chef there really knows what he’s doing. A stellar experience, cannot wait to try another pizza! Every time I go I plan to try a different one, they had so many to choose from!“

“The food here is amazing! I haven’t had one thing on the menu that I haven’t liked. I especially love their California and Buffalo flatbreads. The quality of the food is unbeatable and just so yummy. There $6 martini Friday special you also can’t beat. They have a full menu martini with lots of creative options. Staff is always friendly, recommend to all!“

“Great selection of cigars,clean well managed.Chris the manager makes sure that the customer is welcomed and helps make it a friendly lounge.The staff of bartenders and waitress knows how to treat a customer and don't skimp on the drinks.Five star in my book“

“We decided to try this restaurant because the menu looked really good. When we got there it was a special limited menu - Moroccan Night. I was not sure my husband could find something to eat. We ordered the Branzino and grilled shrimp and Lamb chops. It was extremely delicious and flavorful. We sat outside on the inter-coastal. It was a great way to end our stay in Florida.“

“Just started working in Oakland Park looking for a spot for lunch, didn't find a spot instead I found THE spot. True bar n grill with a great atmosphere driven by great people. The beer as close to frozen without losing taste or quality. The food, delicious. I had the pulled pork sandwich, great! Today is day 1, but I'm a regular. C'mon down!!“

“Darlene is the best. I have been coming to the hotel for the last two years at least twice a month and the high point of my visit is the Drift for the food and the drinks. Darlene is the key component for both great drinks that we come up with and entertaining my students when I bring them to visit. She is a true gem for the facility and as a Titanium member I highly recommend eating and drinking here even with additional restaurants in plain view.“

“We were just passing through the area and decided to go to this place based on reviews and it was everything and more of we expected. The bartender Heather was very nice and super cool to talk to! This really has a family type atmosphere even though we aren’t part of the biker community we were treated very well! My wife and I fell in love with this place just the few hours we were there!! Fairly priced drinks and the “security guard” Minnie (the Rottweiler) was very friendly! I definitely recommend coming to this place weather you’re a local or just looking for a good place to have a few beer, this is definitely the spot!- thank you for everything Heather you are awesome!!“

“Hands down one of the best food experiences I've had. My SIL decided to do the omakase experience on a whim while I was visiting her in south Florida and we were not disappointed. Though we arrived on time, the experience started about 45 minutes later and to be honest after starting and seeing the preparation and the interactions the sushi chefs and staff had with the guests I wasn't even bothered. They were fun, they explained everything and most of all they took their time to create in front of you. They created edible art and that takes time. The drinks were fantastic, strong but flavorful and complex. The sake shots provided as part of the dinner were fun. It felt both entirely intimate but also super friendly sitting at the bar with other guests. The meal consisted of nigiri. Each piece specially crafted, unique and completely complex. This is not a place where you just get sushi, this is an experience where the purpose is to truly taste what great seafood is. After the first bite we decided we had to come back again and try the extended "bougie" experience. Absolutely adored this place and my favorite place by far in south Florida!“

“Noche Cubana is an experience not to be missed. Whether you are there for the lechon or the paella, you won't be disappointed. You won't find better anywhere! You can wash it all down with the best Sangria in town. Then cap it off with Tres Leches for dessert... And finally, I have to commend the attentive and friendly staff.“

“This is my second time here and I should have given a review the 1st time, however, this time did not disappoint either. I am very excited and pleased to say that Hatch Ft. Lauderdale delivered again!! Alexes the bartender came through with charm and great service!! I appreciate the cook staff maintaining the delicious food both times. The wait staff and hostess are on point. This is a place to be easy, leave the stress and just enjoy this moment.“

“Had a wonderful experience at Giannis Table! Michael John was awesome, he made me a delicious espresso martini and lemon drop, and was so kind and engaging through the process! Would highly recommend coming and getting a drink/dinner here, check it out when you can!“

“This place is such a good vibe, I went happy hour and it was perfect. The ambiance and music really sets the tone. I enjoyed an appletini, teriyaki beef skewers and crab cakes all was delicious ?. If definitely recommend Boca Luna to those looking to enjoy themselves. There’s also an outdoor bar and setting for those that love the fresh air. Staff was kind and attentive. I wish I could give this place 10 stars. I will be going back for some of the events they’ll be hosting soon.“

“It is a beautiful restaurant, if you don't have a reservation which is ridiculous you have to put a credit card. It Hass to be minimum of 10 people on a normal night. You could wait 2 1/2 hours which I think is ridiculous! Food is so so nothing great Drinks were really good when they first opened not so hot now. But beautiful location for sure.“

“I came in drunk wanting an espresso martini with repo tequila and Dani made an amazing one. I’m hosting a friend and brought her here and I instantly noticed Dani! She’s so friendly and personable. And she made another amazing set of tequila espresso martinis. Another great experience with Dani!“

“This is near a small farmer market that is getting popular. I am glad I stopped by this place, you can tell it is all natural. Got the antiflu juice and I will definitely be back ... doesn't taste like the regular frozen juices you get in other places.“

“Traveling with food allergies and this restaurant had the best vegan waffles for dairy, egg and nut allergies. Everyone loved their meals and we came back multiple times for breakfast. Guba took great care of us and remembered our drink orders and food when we returned!“

“DJ Maverick RAWKS yo! As a tourist from Canada I landed upon this gem of an establishment Thanks again to the staff & all the singers that kept it real & for making me feel so welcome. Booming system made me sound good. Shout out to Tania she mixes the best drinks & made sure I got a taxi. Hi Barry & Vinny. I highly recommend this place if you're visiting FLL. ???“

“One of the best local places to see live music. Mainly cover bands that are all top notch. Jeff the sound guy is one of the best in south florida. Older crowd, No smoking which is great. Fresh popcorn to snack on that is popped in one of their big awesome machines. Great place.“

“This is a little place attached to the comfort suites. Great little place for margaritas or whatever after the beach. The pool area is kept very clean and tidy with plenty of seating. Contemporary rock music adds ambiance. Everybody there was super nice and the staff was awesome really.“
