Sometimes when we are looking for a random dive bar to drop into- we play the game of inputting "bars near me" on our phones and head over to whatever pops up first on the list. Tonight the winner was Streeters- located on Federal just north of 26th tucked in behind the breakfast place. While there is a big sign on the door that says "Smoking", I always forget how overwhelming the smell of smoke is in these places even when people aren't smoking. And it just signals to me that the place is just a bar and doesn't serve food. We grabbed a couple of seats at the bar. The place was not busy with most playing bar darts in the corner and a couple of others at the bar. There is also a pool table and a jukebox in the place. The drinks were well poured, the beer was cold and as I sat there I reflected on other dive bars I've been to over the years. If you drive- the metered parking lot was free on the night we were there. So if you're looking for a cold one, with people who welcome you in like a regular- check out Streeters. Just know you'll carry a little bit of Streeters home with you as you'll need to air out your hair and clothes when you get home! Ah- gotta love a good dive bar! read more

This is a five star dive bar. Friendly service and great regulars. We visited at 8 am while on vacation. If you're looking for unpretentiousness, and strong drinks, you won't be disappointed. There is no food but they were fine with us brining in food from the diner next door. read more

Since at the time I am writing this there is only one review on Streeter's which was written in 2009 by an individual who never wrote another Yelp review but awarded Five Stars, my gut is that review is bogus; hence I felt compelled to write this one. It's a dive-y little hole in the wall bar basically intended for serious drinkers who chat at the bar, play pool and darts. The crowd is basically mid thirties men with advanced bar room tenor voices, some missing teeth and rather loud mouthed heavy set women, some of whom are sporting dated, stretched out tramps on the top of their ass crack. The drinks are reasonably priced, the crowd basically friendly though somewhat over the line intoxicated. However, it is clean, orderly and well run with a most friendly, gracious, mannerly bartendress who not only efficiently performs her duties serving drinks but also fulfills the additional obligations of being a drunks best friend; not easy. For what it is, a hole in the wall dive bar, it's not that bad and does live up to be exactly what it is meant to be, a dive bar that allows smoking and caters to heavy drinkers. For a dive bar to hang in while doing some serious drinking, Streeter's is an OK place, though I've seen a number of better ones. Just know it for what it is, and if it happens to be your thing, you'll probably find it to be very nice. read more

Streeter's - From the out front municipal parking area. Careful, it's metered. - Dive Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Streeter's is a great bar. This divey hole in the wall is located on Federal Highway just north of 26th Street in Ft. Lauderdale. The parking is metered but at I believe after dark, you don't have to pay. Also, Sunday's is free parking as well. My most recent visit to Streeter's was on a Sunday. A relaxed and quiet atmosphere for 11:30am. There was about 7 other people in the bar but most seemed to be there for the Dolphins game. As soon as it was over the bar half emptied out. I stayed for a few hours and just watched the random football games that were on, engaging in light conversation with the other patrons and the wonderful bartender Tiffani. I have also been in at night. It gets a bit more crowded but you still have the same friendly people to have a few drinks with. Streeter's will likely be my new Sunday spot. read more

I love this place. Maybe not the smoking but it is as nostalgic as the music (and flying a twa plane in the 80's). The staff is my cup of tea. Just a place where you can figuratively kick up your heels. Juke box has a nice mix. Literally just a fun place to chill. read more

Love my bartenders here!! Trace Sheri and Timmy you three always know when to fill my shot glass!!! Love you guys!

If you want to rate this place on anything other than what quality dive bar it is. Go away. The bartender is the perfect level of friendly and funny, the bar is clean and the prices are very reasonable. read more

Awesome place, great bartenders, great management, great prices and a great neighborhood dive.

Everything was bad. Bad. Bad. Bad. A drink is a drink?wont be rising back. Yelp is also irritating with how much they want out of you in regards to how you review. I got nothing but BAD! read more

If you're looking for the feel good type of joint this is it. Sans your typical spring breakers and drunken fools. (The drunks here have graduated from a PhD) As you sit in the dimmed lit bar and speak to thy true local neighbors, you will feel the old good vibes. Cheers. Perhaps learn to become a dart guru. I love coming here on the weekends and holidays, it's the epitome of a hibernating abode. It's so good, I highly recommend this place. read more
