Every drink I've had has been well-balanced and genuinely delicious, not just something thrown together with cheap mix. The staff is super friendly and makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in, which honestly makes a big difference. Only thing -- it does get pretty packed, especially on weekends. It's still manageable but don't expect a ton of breathing room. Prices are a little higher than your typical gay bar, but honestly? When the drinks are this good, I don't mind paying for it. You're getting what you pay for.

I came here with two friends because I've always loved their espresso martinis, lived the West End,…read moreand was excited to have a good night. I sat at the bar while my friends were seated at one of the tall tables. After getting my drink, I politely asked the some guys if I could take a chair over to join my friends, and the bartender said no in a very rude and hostile way. A few minutes later, other guests at the bar offered me a chair, so I took it and joined my friends. Without warning, the bartender came over and aggressively pulled the chair out from under me while I was sitting on it, causing me to fall hard onto the floor. I could have seriously injured my face or hit the table. My friends witnessed everything and recorded it. I have never experienced such dangerous, humiliating, and unprofessional behavior from a bartender in my life. It felt targeted and discriminated, and I genuinely felt singled out because of how I look. Instead of taking accountability, management focused on calming the situation and then blamed me for being "too aggressive" after I was the one physically put at risk. How convenient for them? So they kicked me out after physically putting me at risk. Unbelievable. This was disturbing, unsafe, and completely unacceptable. My friend finally talked to the manager and the manager was very, very nice, but the bartender should be fired. Not only was the bartender rude to us at the bar, he was extremely rude to us by pulling a stool out from me and causing me to fall. If he had a problem with the stool we were sitting on, he should have asked the manager to talk to us , but not acted like a bully by pulling out the stool underneath new, while I was sitting on it. It is not the role of a bartender to aggressively pull a stool from underneath a customer. It is also not the role of a bartender to be cocky and rude to customers. He should have gone to the manager and ask to manager to have a diplomatic conversation with me. That would have been good customer service. Will peruse legal action today.

The vibe is so much better here, granted this was a Sunday night so I wasn't expecting much but there's actually people hanging out! Yes 1000% better than an empty bar where the bartender didn't want to be there. (2) bartenders working tonight, male and female. There's a couple with their dog playing pool.. well not woofie, he's chilling with his toy. A few other people on the other side. No one at the booth but they do have some nice booths! I ordered my usual vodka/cran since I was already drinking that prior. I try not to mix things up, that can get you into trouble if you're a light weight like me. Time goes by fast when you're enjoying yourself at the bar.. forgot how many drinks but by then it didn't matter, I was ready to go. Will definitely be back when I visit again.

I walked into this bar and within 30 seconds saw what I now realize should've been my cue to leave…read more The so-called "owner" was literally blocking the bathroom for a girl who went in for 3 seconds and came right out. Use your imagination for what she may have been doing. It was blatant and disgusting. But I stayed because I was with a friend and it was already late. Fast forward to closing time--I asked the bartender to close out my tab and she said there wasn't one under my name. That was weird because 1) I was still there, and 2) no one else knew my name. She then asks the Manager, I think his name was Adam, who comes over and says, "Oh, we closed it out for you. Thought you were a walkout." What? I ask for my card back and he hesitates. Red flag. Then I ask about the tip and he hands me a receipt--with my name, an $8 tip I never left, and a forged signature. Let me be very clear--I understand the importance of tipping. But forging a guest's signature and charging a tip without consent is illegal. When I calmly called him out, instead of apologizing, he says: "Who are you? Get the f*** out." Imagine being treated like that after spending money in their establishment. The wildest part? I would've tipped the bartender 30% if they just handled the situation with any decency. Instead, they chose fraud and disrespect. This whole experience I had makes me think this kind of thing probably happens here all the time. From my own personal experience, financial fraud and shady business practices definitely take place here. Absolutely disgusting. Stay far away. ____________________ EDIT: Claiming I was "unpleasant" all night is laughable, considering I spent the entire time at the pool and pong tables, interacting with no one but the friend I came with. My friend was the one at the bar ordering drinks, not me. My first--and only--interaction with you was when you physically blocked the restroom with your arms stretched out across both walls. I asked if you were security because that's exactly what it looked like, to which you aggressively claimed you were the owner. After I used the restroom, I asked the security guard if you were really the owner because I was appalled by your guest engagement and overall lack of professionalism. As for my "disappearance," let's not rewrite the timeline. I walked directly from the pong table--maybe three feet away--to the bar to close out. I was very much present, yet somehow my card was already charged without my knowledge or consent. That's not policy--that's fraud. I left with the receipt with the forged signature, FYI. And since you want to talk about being unpleasant, let me address the multiple men who hovered around my friend's drink on the side table while we were shooting pool. I had to shoo them off more than once. That's a major safety concern. So in addition to shady charges and forged signatures, now your bar has the reputation of being a place where, from my experience, women can't leave their drinks unattended for five seconds without worrying. That's not just disgusting--it's dangerous. I added a photo reference for your "packed bar," (not even a second row deep at the bar top, my guy) and the guy who was hovering. I blocked his face for privacy concerns. Also not a Panther jersey in sight It's also become clear that had I been more feminine-presenting, this situation likely would've played out very differently. Instead, I was met with hostility, sarcasm, and blatant dismissal. Your behavior speaks volumes. You can try to write it off with sarcasm and playground insults, but the truth is this: your establishment is poorly run, lacks accountability, and clearly has no grasp on guest safety or integrity. I'm glad you made it clear I'm not welcome back--trust me, the feeling is mutual. My bank also disputed the fraudulent charge BTW :)

We were looking for a late-night meal and came across this restaurant tucked away in a quaint area…read moreof Fort Lauderdale. Parking was conveniently located right in front of the restaurant, making it an easy stop. As soon as we walked in, we were warmly greeted and invited to sit wherever we liked. We chose a table near the window and immediately appreciated the intimate and charming atmosphere. The restaurant also features a bar and televisions, creating a relaxed and welcoming vibe. Our waitress was pleasant, attentive, and made us feel right at home, which always enhances the dining experience. Although we weren't extremely hungry, the menu had so many appealing options that we decided to sample a few items. We started with the Caribbean Tea shots, which were unique, refreshing, and surprisingly enjoyable. For drinks, we ordered a Malbec and a Peanut Butter Old Fashioned. Our first entrée was the Churrasco Frites, featuring marinated skirt steak topped with chimichurri and served with twister fries. The steak was cooked perfectly, tender and flavorful, but those fries were the true star of the dish. Still wanting more, we ordered the Garlic Parmesan Twice Cooked Wings. They were nicely prepared and satisfying, though I would have enjoyed a stronger garlic flavor. Not quite finished, we moved on to the Oaxaca Burger, an 8 ounce burger stacked with onion rings, bacon jam, house BBQ sauce, and Oaxaca cheese. This was one of the best burgers I've ever had, and possibly the best. The bun was toasted yet soft, the burger was seasoned perfectly, and it was cooked to a juicy medium temperature. Every bite was packed with flavor. Overall, everything we ordered was excellent, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and look forward to returning.

The bar and restaurant itself has a welcoming vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. I ordered the tuna appetizer, but unfortunately it just wasn't for me. To their credit, the staff handled it very professionally and took it back without any issue, which I appreciated. The rest of the table had a much better experience with their meals. The steak and salads especially got good reviews from everyone and looked very well prepared. Even though my dish missed the mark, the service and atmosphere were solid enough that I'd still consider giving eTwic another try in the future. Sometimes one item just doesn't hit, and there were definitely enough positives about the restaurant to make me curious to come back and try something different next time. I know that one friend at the table really enjoys this place so I must believe that she has good taste!

If you…read morepicture Trader Vic's crossed with Amsterdam hippy bar, you get the idea. 5-star beverages: Just about every combination of kava, kratom, etc that you can mix in a drink is available here. There are even CBD "shots" available. I was in need of the opposite of these calm-down beverages, and ordered a cold-brew coffee (the bartender got a laugh out of that). My local client took me by this place, and raved about the kava-related options. Neither of us is into hookah, but the other customers raved about that. 5-star service: aside from the funny personable staffer, the patrons were also sweet-natured regulars. They all seemed to know one another well, and welcomed us like old pals. The legal natural sedative qualities of many of their beverages meant a lot of the conversation was about flying cars and reincarnation LOL. 5-star ambience: Outside it's a little bit forlorn strip mall, a little bit dive bar. Inside, the funky hipster aspect more than makes up for the exterior. There's sort of a beat-up Polynesian bar theme, complete with Ikea paper lanterns. Parking is available right out front and on the back side of the block as well.
