Stepping into Off The Clock is like walking into a dinner party at your coolest friend's hipster apartment in Brooklyn, in the best way, and I absolutely love it. The vibes are upscale and it feels like the coolest living room bar restaurant lounge ever. Across the two floors and expansive space, there are intimidate tables, cozy couches, bar stools, books, art made in house, and knickknacks galore. There's great music, often played on vinyl to complete the ambiance. The service is fantastic, with friendly servers and staff around to greet, check in on you, and make sure you're having a fantastic time. The owner Horace is a pretty amazing guy, very personable, and extremely passionate about what he does. But it's not just vibes, the food is fantastic. There's a nice mix of options on the smaller menu, and everything is extremely flavorful. Some things lean to the spicier side, but not too much to be painful or overwhelming. Their cocktail program is fantastic, and the old fashioned had notes of banana and walnut which really elevated it. And the prices are extremely reasonable for what you get. I highly recommend checking this place out, and you'll be sure to want to make it your new regular spot. read more

Stopped in on Saturday night with a few friends - which we didn't make reservations however we were able to get a spot at the bar. They informed us that they were closing earlier due to a private event. However, once we made it inside - wow, this spot and the ambience were everything. I was surprised to see something like this in the downtown Lake Worth area. The listening bar was playing some 80's R&B which was a vibe! This spot is a French & Caribbean fusion with a space for creatives and lovers of a curated vibe. For my cocktail I got the Lovely Day. This drink is a tequila, mezcal based drink with a blend of sweet and smoky. I really enjoyed this to sip on throughout the night. If you that's your vibe - definitely try this. For food, I got the chicken sandwich which came with fries. The chicken sandwich had a zesty mayo with a slaw which was really good. The sandwich was fried to perfection and very crispy. However, there wasn't much seasoning from the chicken itself. The flavor came from the other ingredients on the sandwich. The fries was presented in this martini brass glass which was cute! The fries were seasoned to perfection, and were fresh! My friends had to get their food to go because it took so long for the kitchen to get it out to us even though we all ordered at the same time. I do see myself coming back for another visit for a nightcap cocktail and the music. alone. read more

100 out of 10 for this spot. I went here for my first time a few weeks ago, and could not have had a better experience. The service, ambiance, decor, etc. was so well done. Everything at OTC is curated with so much thought. The food was top notch, the cocktails were even better. I loved that the owners took the time to chat w people and were super nice. After dinner, moved over to the bar area which is the highlight of OTC. The all vinyl DJ setup is really something special. Being from Boston, there are several vinyl bars and lounges, but not any in South Florida (unless you want to trek to Miami). The DJ (Darren on the night I was there) was AMAZING. Deep cuts, well known songs, and everything in between. Different genres, different decades, it was a perfect setlist to accompany the already amazing venue and night. Highly recommend checking this place out, you will not regret it! read more

Vibes & Service: Vibes are amazing there!!! Just left the space and didn't want to forget our amazing waitress name, Stephanie. Stephanie was amazing, her recommendations were great. The music is great there!!! I wish i could see more of the amazing decor with a little bit of light but overall so nice and romantic. Food: We picked ceviche as our appetizer and it was amazing. The plain chips were a great addition, especially the sweet ones 10 out of 10. My entree was the short ribs and it was so so good. It comes with a small side of mashed potatoes but honestly it's going to fill you up, no need to get another side. My friend got the half chicken and that does not come with sides but had it with Mac and cheese and it was delicious. The sauce with the chicken is amazing. Price; Our total with 2 drinks, one appetizer, the water was not included it was $8, two entrees and the sides came up to be $199 which also included gratuity. Overall the food and the drinks were totally worth it but it is more on the pricier end. Coming back or not? Absolutely coming back!!! read more

Wow where do i start? This establishment is black owned and they know what they're doing. From the hostess at the front door to our waitress Stephanie being so attentive and kind! I haven't experienced such amazing customer service and food in a while! The owner was also so kind and greeted us upon arrival and departure. We had a 5 pm reservation and was seated promptly, the restaurant is dark with small lamps on each tablet that created the right vibes and aesthetic for girls night or even a date night. We left close to 9 pm and never felt rushed by our waitress Stephanie. She took her time to educate us on each drink and her recommendations based on what we were looking for. This spot is 10a across the board and I can't wait to go back! read more

You're going to want to check out this new spot in downtown Lake Worth! Off the Clock has a 70's-cool vibe on a Saturday night -- the music was grooving, the energy was great, and the food did not disappoint. Just a heads-up: the wings are jumping hot ... in the best way! The drinks were my favorite part -- inventive, interesting combinations that really stood out. Friendly bartenders and DJ on a real turntable. We had such a fun time on our first visit, and we'll definitely be coming back with more friends. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

The moment you walk in, the place has an incredible vibe! It's a bit dark, but lit just enough to enjoy the night exactly as it was meant to be. You immediately feel cool as you enter and take your seat. We ended up sharing a table with another group, something new for us, but it still turned out to be a great experience. We met Reggie and Horace, the chef and the owner of the restaurant, and they were both incredibly kind and genuinely great people. The food was good, though we only ordered sides and drinks tonight, so I can't give a full opinion on the main dishes just yet so stay tuned! Overall, a truly great experience! Must try! read more

I finally made it to Off the Clock this weekend after seeing it on my socials and it did not disappoint! To start, Nick, the host, was the perfect greeter, very professional and welcoming. Inside, the vibe is artsy, moody, and cozy with warm orange lighting that feels like a 70s record studio. It's the kind of place that makes you want to sit, sip, talk, and actually enjoy being there in the present. The crowd was a nice mix of ages and cultures, which is a little rare for a bar and refreshing. Not just sitting around, but really in the moment. I had the Me & You cocktail and my friend got the Easy to Love, and both were chef's kiss. Balanced, flavorful, and clearly well-crafted. I also ordered the burger and fries and wow. The patty was the star in my book, but the sauce took it to another level. The music was great and the owner even came over to introduce himself, which was such a thoughtful touch. 10/10. I'll absolutely be back and will be telling everyone about it. read more

Off The Clock - Fries, chicken sandwich - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Lake Worth Beach, Florida

I visited Off The Clock with my sister for my birthday, and the experience did not disappoint. First tip: make a reservation. On weekdays, same-day reservations seem easy enough, though weekends may be different. Also, dress to impress--cocktail attire or business-casual fits the classy vibe perfectly. From the moment you walk in, you're ushered to your seat and the staff is attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance gives you everything at once: a cozy romantic dinner, a chic spot to catch up with your best friend, and an upscale yet relaxed environment that feels elevated but comfortable. You can take photos, but no flash, out of respect for other diners. Drinks I opted for a non-alcoholic drink, and I appreciated that the menu clearly marks sweetness, savoriness, and spirit level. I had the Sweetest Taboo, and I definitely recommend it--refreshing, sweet, and perfectly balanced. Starters We began with the Jerk Style Wings (OTC dry rub). These were incredibly flavorful--seasoned to perfection with the right blend of sweet and spicy. I'd call it a "level 2" spice if you enjoy heat, but it might feel stronger if you're not used to spicy food. Either way, delicious and completely shareable. Entrées We ordered the Jerk Cubano (served with fries) and the Tamarind-Glazed Short Ribs (served over mashed potatoes). The Short Ribs were the standout of the night--tender, rich, and easily some of the best ribs I've had in a long time. I'm not typically a mashed potato person, but this pairing was perfection. The Jerk Cubano was good and tasty, though not something I'd personally hype as a must-try. Sides Roasted Brussels Sprouts - Slightly overcooked for my taste, but if you prefer softer Brussels that your fork glides through, you'll enjoy them. Mac & Cheese - Absolutely perfect. Creamy, flavorful, and a great complement to any entrée. One Small Suggestion I would have preferred the food to be paced out. Everything arrived at once, which made the table feel crowded. Staggered service (appetizer first, entrée a few minutes later) would have elevated the experience even more. Top Recommendations Drinks (you really can't go wrong) Jerk Style Wings - perfect starter, but don't fill up on them! Tamarind-Glazed Short Ribs - the star dish Mac & Cheese - my favorite side Final Thoughts A special thank you to Chef Reggie and thank you to Horace (forgive me if I'm misspelling your names!) -- you both truly made the experience enjoyable and memorable. I'm already planning another sister date here. The entire place has a calm, chill vibe that puts you instantly at ease. Highly recommend for date nights, girls' nights, and any relaxed yet elevated dining experience. read more

This restaurant was opened a few weeks ago by a lovely husband and wife. The vibe is extremely warm and inviting. Every corner, every pour, every small bite felt intentional. I thoroughly enjoyed the shrimp martini, half roast chicken and plantains. The service is outstanding! Highly recommend and I will be back. 921 LAKE AVENUE, LAKE WORTH BEACH, FL read more

Took the Queen to Off The Clock this past Sunday, and let's just say the rumors were underselling it, this place is a full-blown frequency. Straight out the gate, the maître d' was a total Sartorialist; the fit was immaculate and the energy was even better. Our hostess kept that same elite energy, welcoming, sharp, and knew the menu like the back of her hand. We kicked things off with the jerk wings and cod fritters in creole sauce. Presentation? Top-tier. Taste? Chef's kiss. For the main event, I went for the half chicken and chickpea rice. It hit that rare sweet spot of being perfectly seasoned and moist, giving home-cooked vibes but with professional finesse. My wife got the salmon and Caesar salad and because she's a legend, she actually let me snag a bite. We capped it off with a drink that can only be described as PURE. No other word for it. Balanced, blended, and a total mood. It's rare to find a spot where the aesthetics actually match the flavor profile, but they nailed it. And the music? Come on. The selector mastering the vinyl that day was digging deep into the crates and absolutely set the tone. Big shoutout to the whole crew for looking after us and making the day special. We'll be back. 10/10, no notes. read more

Food not for me. Took way too long to finally get a cocktail and then the food. Strange spices. Strange food combinations. The staff was super friendly and tried somewhat too hard. Very hard to find the restaurant. No sign with a name. No parking. read more

There are certain restaurants you hesitate to praise too loudly, for fear the secret will get out. Reservations are encouraged and thoughtfully reinforced with a same-day reminder call, an appreciated touch. From the moment we stepped inside, the room felt composed and welcoming. The lighting, décor, and overall atmosphere are intentional and exceptionally well executed. We ordered widely across the menu, and every dish landed with confidence. The short rib, in particular, stood out and will be a dish that we will order every time we come back. The French-Caribbean fusion works effortlessly here, never feeling forced. This restaurant feels like a love letter from the owners to our community, carefully written, deeply personal, and meant to be shared. This is a place worth returning to, and one I'll be thinking about until I do. read more

This place is such a vibe and the owners are very present and attentive engaging with the guests and welcoming everyone. I would recommend reservations rather than walk in but this is perfect for a date night or catching up with friends vibe. The ambiance with the vinyl DJ is super chill but refined giving a perfect balance of vibes and background noise but still quiet enough to be able to talk. They did a beautiful job on the decor and details for the interior. All the staff is very welcoming and the menu is very curated. I shared two smaller plates the beet salad and the wings which were both excellent. Let it be know that the wings are very very spicy but cooked perfectly. The owner did say if you get the dry rub it's a little less spicy and they can also do half dry and have glaze if you want. The beet salad was delicious the only thing that I felt could make it even better would be a crunch of some sort to break the textures of everything being mushy. The flavor was incredible and I loved the dish but I think maybe even adding crushed pistachios to pull through the notes from the pistachio cream on the bottom would make it even next level. Definitely will be back when I'm the area. I only had one cocktail on the menu which I felt was a bit watery but I assumed it is because they did a split base with the gin/vodka and the sake in it. They only opened three weeks ago so still very new but definitely would highly recommend. read more

Ambience and food were good. The one thing that ruined it was that they don't tell you gratuity is added already. Ended up tipping an additional 20% on a $300 bill. My fault for not reading but they should tell you, since it's not the norm for tip to be included. read more

This place will certainly become a favorite of our group. Great vibes, amazing food and drinks. We got to meet the chef. Standouts were the Brussel sprouts and Seasoned fries. My husband raved about the braised beef. Look out for this new Lake Worth Beach Gem! read more

First of all its so dark inside and I was having a bad headache after I came out. Second, for the price the portions are ridiculous. Its not at all worth the price. Food was OKAY. The servers are good and made sure we were comfortable. Would I go there again? NOPE THANK YOU read more

Went for Valentine's Day and the vibes and service truly were amazing, loved the cocktails but we sat down at 5pm, didn't get our food until almost 6pm and the portions were small for the price and we left literally planning what to eat later because we were still hungry. I just could not justify the price with what we had and don't think it was worth it. read more

Awesome place. Great food and ambiance. I would strongly and I mean strongly suggest a reservation- it gets busy. But they do a good job or when it's busy you don't feel crowded and always feel welcome. A+++ read more

Ambiance and vibe on point. The food was ok. I had the braised short rib and it was a bit salty. The cod fritters were too small and only 3 per plate. Not worth the cost. Ceviche was very good. Only 3 entrees on the menu, which is ok if you switch it up. No Chardonnay! Overall I'd go back for an app and dirty martini. The dirty Martini was one of the best I've had! read more

Superb experience. Not what you would expect. Looks like a small Jamaican restaurant but with superb service. Very unusual , only open 2 months.

Managing Chef Burgess is a skilled internationally experienced talent. This is a must try before it hits the big time! read more
