The Ft. Lauderdale Women's Club was founded on January 11, 1911 as the Woman's Civic Improvement…read moreAssociation with 18 women as the first club members. The club is 2 1/2 months older than the incorporation of the city of Ft. Lauderdale. A 135 by 100 foot lot was donated by Ft. Lauderdale pioneers Frank and Ivy Stranahan. Ivy was a school teacher and a very civic minded person. She was involved in African-American, women's and Native American's rights, as well as the first chapter of the Audubon Society and the Red Cross. The Seminole's would paddle up the New River in their canoes and trade with the Stranahan's for the good's they couldn't grow. Ivy would use use her school teacher background the educate the Seminole's when they visited. Ivy served as president of Women's Club from 1913 until 1916. The name of the group was changed to Fort Lauderdale Women's Club in 1913. They took on many of the projects needed to improve the town like adding streetlights. In 1912 the club started the first volunteer fire department with a donation of $100. The clubhouse was designed by noted architect August Geiger in a Mediterranean Revival Style. Building began in 1916 and finished in 1917, their clubhouse was the community's first library. Located at Broward and Andrews Avenue it is in the center of the City of Ft. Lauderdale that grew up around it. Today the Women's Club continues to partner with non profits in the community like Broward Outreach, Children in Distress, and the Wildlife Care Center. They also give scholarships to high school students. In order to pay for the upkeep of the house the club rents it out for community functions and weddings. The clubhouse is surrounded by beautiful gardens, In recent years the club has struggled with keeping the downtown homeless population from destroying the property. A large fence now surrounds what used to be an open park.

I don't care if this is a casino or not it's not a way to treat patrons I've been going to the Isle , which is now Harrahs for years. As of yesterday, I will no longer be going there to gamble or to eat so they could poison me. Take it upon yourself to sit down in here if you want I would tell you not to.

So many games and so many rooms. The place is much bigger when you first walk in. We arrived and…read morewere instantly greeted with all the details with a friendly staff member. They have so many classic games and others we never heard of along with gaming console systems. There is food and drinks too and some vending toy machines. The location is a nondescript strip mall that could use some more signage. There is plenty of parking. They also have space for parties in the way back room. Looking forward to returning for more gaming entertainment.

Walked into the arcade. Cool vibe. I thought it was small but there are two other rooms with a ton…read moreof games. The place is dark with blacklights and cool murals of cartoon, anime and VG characters on the wall. There are specialty slushies you can get. There is alcohol. They have an old gamer staple: Bawls The cover charge is 15 dollars per hour which is awesome. You can definitely spend a whole day in there easily and not break the bank. I loved the variety of the cabinets. Theres traditional and modded cabinets with tons of oldschool games to play. Beat em ups, fighting, racing, hunting, DDR, rythm games, console games like gamecube in the front. They even have a sailormoon S beat em up. Im a hardcore sailor moon fan so it was appreciated. The bathrooms were clean. There is one big flaw with this place. Many of the games I played had buttons that would stick so I was unable to play them. Games in particular are the Spiderman beat-em-up in the second room, the DJ rythm game (not sure what its called. The one in japanese), the other rythm music game in the cornor of the second room, metal slug X, melty blood. The sailormoon game also. Oh and the L.A. shooting game with the guns doesnt have any rumble on them. The cabinets that have a ton of games in them are cool but the buttons arent mapped to each game. If you play a fighting game that has 6 buttons and theres a bunch of combination moves you can do with all those buttons but only 4 of those buttons are programmed to the game, you cant do the moves and theres no point in playing it. To get the full experience out of this arcade, I would suggest the owner go through each cabinet and set up every game to where the buttons can correctly do what they are supposed to do. There is no point having a million games if you cant play any of them because of broken buttons and mapping issues. It needs weekly maintenance. I understand that kids can be really rough with the buttons but if you dont fix the buttons then whats the point of having the games there if you cant play them? Its really easy to map the buttons. That would fix half of the problems. My fiancee said it best "its like playing cup and ball without the string. And you have to keep picking the ball up off of the ground. " Huge potential for this place. It could be 5 stars with maintennence. I see the vision.

Had the lovely opportunity of coming here last friday for a BYOB painting party!…read more First things first, I have NEVER painted anything in my life... less painted while sipping on my wine. The vibe this studio has is awesome, you feel welcome and at home from the second you walk in! The teacher (forgot his name! oops) was VERY nice, helpful, and patient. I ended up painting a mix what we had to base our painting off of and my own touch of Laura. Overall I had a fantastic time and I am looking forward to coming here again!

I wasn't a huge fan of the painting that we were doing (I saw some cool ones that I liked more hanging up on the wall), but the entire process was so much fun that I've hung my painting up anyway! Jay, our instructor, was very nice and patient. Loved the BYOB part. My friends and I brought some snacks and plenty of wine. I will definitely be back to see what else I can paint! I've never been good at drawing or painting, but I didn't have to be! The one annoying thing that I will say is that it was nearly impossible to book our reservation. I called the studio no less than 4 times, left 2 voice messages, and never got a call back. I ended up just driving there and making the reservation in person when I was out running errands. Not very cool.

Being in one of the tallest towers and existing for over 50 years in Fort Lauderdale is so impressive to think of all the growth you could have witnessed from this view. They have a bunch of dining rooms and lounge areas throughout. The bar however is a little small with only a few seats and a spot to order at. It isn't a huge dealbreaker but it's something to keep in mind if you wanted to sit at the bar area. I ordered a Kona beer on draft and it was very good for such a small bar. The cocktails also looked very festive for the fall season as well. Whether you go for a private event or for something else the Tower Club is definitely something you should check out at least once for the views alone!

Whether you're there for drinks, dinner, or just to vibe, the atmosphere is on point. Definitely a must-visit. I think you might need a membership, but I was there for Dining in the Dark so I'm not sure. Dining in the Dark is a super cool and unique experience definitely something you should try at least once. That said, the whole night felt kind of rushed. It seemed like they were just trying to move people through instead of letting everyone really enjoy it, which was a bit disappointing. The food portions were tiny--more like tasting bites than an actual meal. And between the $16 service charge per person (just for ordering drinks) and cocktails being $15-$20 each, it ends up feeling kind of overpriced for what you get. Overall, love the idea behind it, and with some tweaks--like slowing things down and giving bigger portions--it could be amazing. For now, I'd say try it for the experience, but don't expect a full dinner or great

What a beautiful facility nestled inside the City of Sunrise Municipal Center right on Oakland Park…read moreBoulevard. Our event, a Gala, was very well-attended and held inside the Sunrise CIVIC CENTER & MUSEUM complex. I was not inside a recognizable Museum of any sort so I venture to guess our fancy banquet room was in the Sunrise Civic Center proper. Arriving on time it was a pleasure to attend a VIP Reception in the Foyer Area and hallway. I was issued a wrist band to enter. A bar setup was at the end of each Hallway and in between a Silent Auction had been set up. It was other worldly in that I mingled with a candidate to be the next Governor of Florida and other like-minded people. I did "bid" in the Silent Auction on a very special clutch. A clutch is a small ladies' purse for use as an evening bag. The next hour and another wrist band later we entered the banquet room. It was fancy in that it was very well-appointed and lovely if not a tad bit small. The back of my chair rubbed up against the back of the woman's chair behind me a few times and I did not like that. The tablescape and table setting- all place settings- were on point and absolutely gorgeous. In the foyer wine was not being served. But inside a bartender approached our table with an ordering iPad and started taking orders, including wine. We paid him (bartender) then our Wine appeared at the table. On bar tab receipt and as told to me by 'tender the bar was provided by a vendor called "bar2hire" or similar name with the Numeral 2in it. So easy, so sophisticated. Decent food was served. Had a very nice, upscale time. All staff was extremely gracious at this particular event.

We had a blast at the "Sunrise Comicon". So much to see and do! From the moment we got there…read morethere's plenty of parking. They have a parking garage and bottom floor parking. We walked up to the place. And the "School of Rock", was singing and playing music. We walked further up, then we passed by all the food trucks. They had all types of food from coffee, breakfast food, they had snacks like empanadas truck, barbecue, Italian, asian, Japanese, and so much more. As we walked up to the event, since we bought our tickets online you just go through the will call and they look for your name and you get a bracelet you walk in. But you also can buy tickets at the door. You save $10 a ticket if you buy it online. We walked in there was lots of vendors with awesome different Collectables like Star Wars, sci-fi, action figures, all types of anime , K-pop, comic stuff, and apparel, jewelry, rocks, crystals, toys, games, cards, like Pokémon. There is another room full of vendors artist with all types of paintings and comic books stuff. Pokémon. Also people selling desserts and different types of cakes and drinks, Boba tea. There's another room they have actors signing autographs. They have different groups, clubs like the Ghostbusters club. They had the 501 Legion Star Wars club there. With lots of photo ops areas, I'll types of characters walking around taking pictures with people. Lots of cosplayers. Also there's an upstair area with different events going on. You walk outside there's a courtyard full of vendors selling all kinds of collectibles from toys to anime stuff comic book stuff too. Go inside they have an art museum. It's amazing. Another room It's even bigger more vendors with collectibles like Star Wars, anime, marvel, Transformers, and more. Also food vendors and Flynn's arcade was there with all their video games. Characters walking around, taking pictures with people. They also have a cosplay contest. Its such a great time definitely fun for the whole family and as we left, we heard the school rock outside jamming again outstanding skills on there part! Definitely will be back.

The staff was professional and ran everything well, from bringing out the catering to helping manage the speaker and microphone system, and quickly cleaning up plates so there were no dirty dishes sitting around. Our event was in the Atlantic ballroom, and the window views from that room were stunning! Gorgeous views of the waterway and adjacent buildings. I can imagine the space being a great place for a wedding or general party reception. Though I was lucky enough to not have trouble finding the ballroom, I do wish there were some way-finding signs in the building. There was a list at the entrance of events happening and which ballroom they were in, but not much info on where to go to find the specific ballroom. I basically had to guess my way around and I happened to guess correctly.

The Buffett is so-so. Not worth the price in my opinion. But it's a pretty location.read more
