Stopped in after long walk, for an ice cold beer or three... Clean and fresh was surprised to find it's a smoking bar as there were no traces of smoke. Mostly bar seating. Pool table and dart boards... Theres plenty of beers to choose from and full bar as well. TV's all around ...as he explained football season is the best time of year to be here.....and all the games are on simultaneously... I can only imagine the fans and staff of all the different teams interacting like one big party.. ...and fun it be to support your home team here.. As we all believe our team is the best !, GO EAGLES... Thanks for the hospitality as that never goes un - noticed... We will be stopping in again !!

Archies is a local dive bar filled with smoking, pool/darts, local regulars, and no frills. That…read morebeing said, if you know what you're getting into, it's a nice place to hang out. Is there a craft beer list, a unique menu, free parking, and a smoke free area? Absolutely not. That's not with this place is about though. It's an old school corner bar. It's a place where regulars hang out and know each other by name. It's a place filled with friendships and stories. It's also next to a high end restaurant, so it's a place to grab a drink before or after your fancy meal at a much better price. I don't even think they have tap beer, but in a smoky environment, you want to go for bottles anyway. If the name of your game is laid back, Florida local without all of the pomp and circumstance of a Miami hot spot, check out Archie's. Stop in enough, and everyone will know your name too.

Velvet Lounge Café is one of those hidden gems that makes you feel like you've stumbled into a…read moremovie scene. The dim lighting and moody vibe set the stage perfectly--whether you're kicking back with friends or trying to impress someone on a date. The food? Solid. Flavorful, well-portioned, and pairs nicely with the whole lounge aesthetic. It's the kind of menu that keeps the focus on the experience while still leaving you satisfied. What really makes this spot special is the energy. You can come here for a chill night of conversation with friends, or lean into the music and turn it into something more--dancing with a date under the low lights feels effortlessly cool and just a little bit sexy. If you're into places that feel more like an escape than a restaurant, Velvet Lounge Café nails it.

The guest that came into the building were dressed like they were going to a hole in a the wall place the spicy Hennessy Wings were so hot I couldn't even get them down so I threw the entire plate away. The Dj had the music so loud I couldn't even understand what the artist was saying on their tracks and the Dj himself sound like a broke garbage truck squealing on the microphone. The bottle girls/servers were really nice & friendly. I wouldn't go again I think the crowd is for a younger generation I'm 37married with 4 kids so maybe this isn't my kind of setting being that I don't go out.

For $30 we had unlimited mimosas and chicken and waffles. I did blt expect for the chicken to be tenders-but I guess that more cost effective. The food was seasoned well and it did take some time for us to be served. The shrimp and grits was seasoned well, but the grits was undercooked and the shrimp overcooked. The manager was nice enough to had us exchange it for something else on the menu. Overall this place is a vibe, they had great music and inside was clean and vibrant. Brunch wasn't as packed as we assumed but we still enjoyed ourselves.

I think the resteraunt focuses on the brunches more than the night life. We came in about 8pm, and the bartender told us they were closing around 11. We sat at the bar and the bartener was very friendly and did her thing on the drinks. My friends came in for the tacos which unfortunately that cook went home for the day so my friend opted for the sweet chili wings & fries instead. The wings were cooked perfect and the sauce was really good. I ordered the jerk chicken pasta and it was a 10/10 it was creamy and flavorful. The garlic bread it came with was also really good, and the portions were big. I tried a lemon drop w/ strawberry shot and a peach margerita. Both were to my liking, i enjoyed my drinks. Although it was my girls and 2 other guest we had a great time at the bar, and the resteraunt was playing good music. I would definitely come back for the food i think it was well worth it.

This is a very old school no frills gay bar that's a staple in Wilton Manors. The food menu is…read moreactually solid with different nightly specials and the drinks are cheap strong and do the job. Walking in it has that everybody knows everybody vibe very Cheers but for the gay community. They do drag shows bingo karaoke and music videos on the big screen so there is always something going on. When the weather is nice which it usually is in Wilton people spill outside and hang on the curb but I actually prefer the energy inside. Just a solid neighborhood spot that still feels like it is holding on to classic gay bar culture.

Monday I had the Classic Burger ($6, Monday price). On Thursday I had the pulled pork sandwich ($14, Thursday price). The angus beef burger was delicious even though it was just slightly undercooked. It came with fries or coleslaw. I chose the slaw which was creamy and sweet. The burger size was large and juicy. The slaw portion was small. The burger was good and was served on a plain hamburger bun. I added American cheese for a dollar more. The pulled pork sandwich wasn't really served on a toasted Kaiser roll, it was on an untoasted plain hamburger bun. It came with fries, pickles, and coleslaw. The fries can use some work. They were quite average. The pork was delicious and piled high. It was drenched in barbecue sauce and was very tasty. The Pub is very clean and a server takes your order and brings everything to you. This was nice. At the bar next door you have to wait in line at the bar to order food, drinks, a refill, or close out your bill. Lots of waiting in line on a busy night, but not at The Pub. Drinks at The Pub are not too overly priced. They do have a happy hour which saves some cash. There is usually live music or drag shows at The Pub which can be fun. It can also get very loud. The menu is large and prices vary but the daily specials are economical.

I headed to Blue Jean Blues in Fort Lauderdale specifically to check out the Valerie Tyson Band after a local friend highly recommended them. We drove up from Miami and they did not disappoint--they brought all the energy and put on an amazing performance! It happened to be Ms. Annie's birthday, so the band and the crowd were especially lively and fun. The Food (The 1-Star Dock): I'm docking the venue one star because they really need to step up their food game. There were four of us at our table, we all arrived hungry, and unfortunately, none of us were satisfied with our meals. Between us, we ordered the wings, cheese sticks, the chicken quesadilla, and a wedge salad with shrimp. For a venue like this, executing solid, good-quality bar food should be a given. As for my choice, the wedge salad was a total miss--the tomatoes were overly ripe (and not in a good way, I couldn't tell if they were in a strange marinade or just too ripe), and the lettuce wedge lacked appropriate crispness, arriving more like a flat pancake instead of a wedge. Now, I will say, as a self-proclaimed French fry connoisseur, the side of fries we ordered was actually pretty good! (Gotta mix the good with the bad, right?) But the rest of the menu definitely needs some major improvement. Pro-Tip: Be incredibly careful with parking out here and make sure you pay! I saw two different meter maids actively writing tickets while we were there. Don't let an expensive parking ticket ruin a great night of music. Return Factor: I would absolutely come back to Blue Jean Blues to see the Valerie Tyson Band again, especially if I'm staying right here in Fort Lauderdale next time!
