    Spencer's Corner Bar is much more like a restaurant or pub. With an inside bar plus indoor and covered outdoor tables, it's a nice casual spot to eat and drink on the Drive. Outdoor heat lamps are fired up when necessary. Service staff are all friendly and welcoming. The menu features more than bar food, with hot and cold sandwiches and entrees. My favorite is the Chicken Pot Pie. Made with chunks of chicken, fresh veggies and homemade pastry crust, the pie is delicious and filling. I'd give a hard pass to the Fish & Chips. The fish came out very over fried, overcooked and dry. Friends agreed and wouldn't help me with it. Luckily I had also ordered French Onion Soup. I can't pass this up. It's piping hot and full of melted onions and cheese. Also, it's not too salty as many places easily overpour the sodium. Another favorite is the homemade meatloaf. Comfort food just like Mom used to make. No wonder Spencer's is so popular. There will likely be a wait for dinner tables most evenings. Happy hour is every day of the week. Where else can you get glass of house wine for $6 to go with your dinner?

    Today was fried pickle appetizer, Ruben and fries and burger and fries. Washed down with nice bloody.

    Okay, so I feel this is goi g to seem bias. I love Spencer's Corner Bar. This awesome venue is nestled in Wilton Manors. Yes, the gaybor hood of Fort Lauderdale. That should not deter anyone looking for a great outdoor or in door dinning. The food is always good. I would believe the best Ruben and fries anywhere. I am a Ruben snob. The burgers are meaty and delicious made to order. I just love the mid century decor and the friendly service. They never disappoint. Oh, I almost missed mentioning the onion soup....yum! There are million restaurants in FLL, this is my favorite.

    Stopped by on a bustling Wednesday evening for a light bite. Many friends told me that Spencer's is the best bang on The Drive and I concur. Immediately greeted and offered a two top up front. From what I could see, the place was packed inside and out (patio!). The efficient server brought our iced teas and took our orders. Me: French onion soup and crab cake app. He: French onion soup and a wedge salad. The soup was yummy with added salt + pepper. My crab cake was crabby enough and my dining partner raved about his salad. Can't wait to return for entrees. Spencer's looks to be a favorite amongst the locals. They do a fine job. Kudos!

    Michael's attention and service to my party was great! The ambiance is casual with at least two bars and outdoor seating seating. The food was delish!! Had to take to-go boxes.

    Meatloaf dinner

    First time dining there and enjoyed the vibe very much. Nice helpful staff and liked that was full of locals. The food was very good and very nice size portions. Only complaint was the meatloaf was a tad bit cool. Could have been heated up more for my liking but wasn't cold enough to send back. Great flavors! Will definitely be back on my next trip to Wilton Manors.

    Recently I went to Spencer's for a meal and I loved the food and the drinks. The staff was very pleasant and friendly. I got the Grilled Atlantic salmon fillet which came with a brown sugar & Dijon mustard glaze, served with rice and fresh broccoli. Delicate, light and delicious. The drinks were also well made and reasonably priced. They have a few parking spots right in front of the restaurant for customers.

    What a nice local restaurant with seating inside and out. The food is excellent and service is very good. I'd come back when visiting the area.

    I have been a customer for some time of this place but today I went there for lunch and ordered a Crab Cake Sandwich and it came with a thread or a floss inside of it. Disgusting!!!!!

The staff are super nice, and the bartender gave a great drink recommendation based on what I told him I was looking for. They have game consoles with an insane variety of games throughout the bar and seating area, which are all open to play for free. They have any game you could ever want-PlayStation, Nintendo, sega, etc, and board games to play as well. They have a ton of fun events every month: trivia, bingo, karaoke-always with different themes. If you're looking for something fun to do, I promise this is your place. A million stars!

Two of us ordered drinks right away and sat at the bar playing video games. The rest of our group was still deciding what they wanted, which we understood fell under the one drink minimum per person rule. One friend sat with us at the bar while we had our drinks and was told by the bartender that she couldn't sit there without purchasing a drink, so she moved. She then stood near our other friends, who were playing an arcade game, and they were told they could not play unless they each bought a drink. At this point, they stood behind us at the bar to look over the menu and decide what they wanted, but that didn't seem to matter. The bartender repeatedly returned and escalated the situation instead of allowing any reasonable time to order, stating they could get water if they wanted and that it did not have to be alcoholic. After only a couple of minutes, the same bartender came out from behind the bar again and said in a rude, condescending tone that they "don't understand... if they don't buy a drink, then they can't even be in the building." Our friends explained that we had already purchased drinks and were simply deciding what we wanted, but at that point, they were turned off by his behavior and no longer wanted anything--and frankly, neither did we. We cashed out our tab, finished our drinks, and left. We were already paying customers and would have ordered more drinks, but the handling of the situation made that impossible. Instead, the business lost not only our additional sales, but also several friends who were planning to join us and spend money. We are local to the area and not teenagers causing a disturbance, which is what the situation felt like when our friends were told to leave for no clear reason. I understand house rules like a one-drink minimum, but there is a professional way to enforce them. This wasn't it. Not everyone can or wants to order immediately--whether due to preferences, pacing, or dietary restrictions--and the lack of flexibility or basic courtesy was disappointing. Instead of encouraging guests to stay and order more, the approach did the opposite. Unfortunately, this experience completely changed my impression of the place, and I don't see myself returning. There are other spots in the area with a similar concept that offer a much more welcoming and customer-friendly experience, and I would recommend exploring those instead.

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'm visiting the Foodie & Cocktail BFF and we're looking for a post dinner place in Fr. Lauderdale…read morewhere we can catch up over some cocktails on a weekday night. Sidecar Speakeasy was the play... The speakeasy entrance was hidden in a hallway you can walk right by without even noticing. I dig it. Once inside, it's dark. Most of the light is coming from the light showcasing the bottles in the bar. The seating is a little tight as they're trying to maximize space for such a small area. We visited here twice during my visit: We sat at a table and a bar. You have the perfect amount of space for your party, but you're pretty close to the next table or bar seat. No claustrophobic vibes though. All the mixologists were great during both visits. One visit, we ordered their signature cocktails from the menu. When we sat at the bar, we had the mixologist surprise with a cocktail off the menu. He just asked what kind of liquor vibe we wanted, and he took it from there. He was super creative with every cocktail which made for a great time. They stayed upon until midnight one one visit and until 1 am on the other one. Both my visits were on a weekday. The sidecar speakeasy is easily my favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale and I have a feeling I'll be back. Enjoy!
