I recently visited Revelry in Pompano for Sunday brunch with friends, and we had such a fun time!…read moreThe brunch had a tiki theme, so we all dressed up for the occasion, which made the afternoon even more enjoyable. Revelry is definitely a unique spot with a really fun atmosphere. They have different seating areas, including couches and traditional tables, and there are also games you can take out and play. It feels like a great place to hang out with friends and spend a few hours. One of the highlights was the live music. They had two different bands performing, one from 12-2 and another from 2-4, so there was plenty of entertainment throughout brunch. Although this wasn't one of their regular burlesque brunches, they also had a burlesque dancer come out between the bands for a short performance, which was a fun surprise and added to the experience. The brunch menu had a nice variety, including shrimp and grits, burgers, sandwiches, salads, and vegetarian options. My friends and I all ended up ordering the chicken sandwich, which was really good! You can choose your side, and we went with the breakfast potatoes. They also have lots of specialty cocktails and drinks to choose from. The restaurant definitely got pretty busy as the afternoon went on, so I would recommend making a reservation, especially for Sunday brunch. Overall, Revelry is a fun and different place to enjoy brunch, live music, drinks, and time with friends. I really enjoyed the tiki theme and the lively atmosphere and would definitely come back!

We decided to check out Vega Lounge with a group of about 8 of us, and this place was absolutely…read moreamazing! The interior has the beautiful ambiance of a high-end cigar lounge paired with an incredible bar. They have an enormous selection of great bourbons, whiskeys, and some truly phenomenal tequilas. There is also a great lounging area in the back with plenty of TVs--they had the March Madness games on while we were there, but I could easily see this being the go-to spot for Sunday football or just a place to relax any day of the week. We chose to sit outside, where the vibe felt like a perfect local hangout. We met some great people who mentioned they are regulars, which says a lot about the atmosphere. While we originally only planned to stop by for a drink or two before heading to dinner, we ended up staying much longer because we were having so much fun. A huge plus is their Happy Hour, which runs until 7 PM every day--at that point, why would we go anywhere else? I can't recall the bartenders' names, but they were all super friendly and accommodating. A few friends tried the specialty cocktails and said they were fantastic. We tried their feature shot per the bartenders recommendation, the "Hello Good Night." It was hands down the best shot I've ever had--I would honestly return just for that! They also had an extensive beer selection. I highly recommend this bar to anyone living in the area or just visiting. We will definitely be back!

We chose to sit outside to enjoy the view. It was a little warm, but definitely worth it for the scenery. We ordered the shrimp sushi roll and the fresh catch branzino. The shrimp roll was excellent and definitely our favorite. The branzino was fresh and well prepared, though it wasn't our favorite dish of the meal. Our friends ordered the burger with fries, and they absolutely loved it. The service was friendly and attentive throughout our visit, which made the experience even better. Overall, we had a wonderful time and would definitely come back for the views, great service, and delicious food.

We've been told that it's better to eat here in the winter because it's nicer to eat on the patio,…read moreso we will be back! We landed in Ft. Lauderdale and drove over here since we were in the area. Their fish tacos were one of their popular dishes so I opted for that and my husband got chicken cordon bleu. We also got the trout dip with pita bread but I didn't get a picture of that because we were all starving and then dessert was key lime pie and pistachio gelato. I did not expect the tacos to be so big. I also got this place mixed up with another place called the beach house so I was looking at the completely wrong menu! I took a pic for anyone looking and didn't feel like clicking 4x to get to it on their website. Back to the tacos -- the slaw was very juicy so don't forget to place your napkin! The mango salsa was not too sweet to overpower the rest of the taco and the beans and rice -- we were told was cooked in beef broth so it was very flavorful! It was way too much food to eat in one sitting (although I somehow managed to down 7/8 of that gelato it's a stomach mystery! And I don't like keylime pie so I didn't try it but the crust looked AMAZING! See ya in March! We're coming for you, patio! *side note: even though it was 94 degrees outside, they had a ton of fans blowing indoors and I was really cold. Goosebumps cold. My husband went to get my hoodie from the car and it's valet parking so he made a trek!

The lighting is dim and the sofas are beautiful. There is a red piano on the other side that just looks so regal. We sat at the bar and were quickly taken care of. They have a great variety of cocktails to choose from and some bites as well if you're feeling hungry. I went with the red eye espresso martini and it was amazing. It tasted like chocolate! The combo of Licor 43 and espresso is delish! Highly recommend. It was a Sunday night so there wasn't too many people, but the bartender did tell us they play live music on Fridays and Saturdays and that is when there is a bigger crowd. We will be going back soon!

Our waitress was very sweet and attentive. I unfortunately forgot her name, but she took our order right away. We ordered a Long Island, Pineapple Margarita, Shrimp Cocktail, and Ceviche Mixto. The food was a bit of a letdown. The restaurant wasn't busy, yet our food took a while to come. The shrimp cocktail comes with 6 shimps. I was really disappointed with the ceviche. It had no flavor, and I had to ask for salt, pepper, and hot sauce just to give it some taste. The bowl was large, but the actual portion of ceviche was not. I definitely left still hungry. I will say, the location is beautiful. The restaurant sits right by the ocean, and there are areas with fireplaces that create a nice atmosphere. After eating, you can walk toward the pier,which is near the hotel. Since this was my first time in the area, I'm not sure what time it normally closes. Overall, I think the views and atmosphere are the best part, but the food definitely needs some improvement.

But, that's where it stops. The staff was horrible. There was some short guy with a deep voice , acting like he ran the place. Extremely rude to customers And was too busy chasing the bartender around like a puppy dog in heat. He had 2-3 guys who worked there clinging to his side like he was the days comedy event. Except , it wasn't funny, it was sad. ZERO people skills displayed. Last. The "happy hour specials" are nothing more than microwaved treats you buy at Aldis. Nasty processed garbage. This place needs some help , all around. There was a female "boss" running around. But... didn't see much action out of anyone aside from Adam. Who is the ONLY reason we'd return.

Went with the chicken sandwich, fries, and coleslaw both times--it was pretty decent overall. For dinner I added the pineapple mocktail, which was actually delicious. The lunch server came across as super introverted and not as friendly, but not necessarily rude either. The dinner bartenders were way more personable and kept checking in--except for the one moment when a bartender asked for my order and as I started replying, and they instantly turned to help the couple who just sat down at the bar. I didn't even pause that long (5 seconds max), but it is what it is. Maybe they needed to prioritize the couple as it was the feast day of St. Valentine. Overall, food and drinks were mostly good, but dinner felt awkward right from walking in. I got there a little after 5 PM and they said tables were all reserved/booked, so bar seating was only available--no wiggle room for a solo diner to be at a table on such an occasion apparently. By the time I finished, maybe only 1/3 of the inside and patio was full. As I was sitting at the bar, the oceanfront door was open and the wind was whipping in like crazy--it felt like sitting in a wind tunnel and it was cold, not enjoyable at all. I also had this weird inkling that the bar couple and bartenders were talking about me negatively and laughing. I have no proof, but that was the vibe I got. I wanted to leave as soon as possible.

They're a bunch of curly down lizards around and we even saw an iguana in the bushes. Then after we played on the swingset, we ordered the fried Oreos, which was very good and all of that food that we got with all of the nachos.

Despite it being super dead, our server (who my mom pointed out has worked here for forever) was acting like he had 50 tables. It took forever to get him to come over and order anything from him, he was a mess. Other than the terrible service, the food was pretty good. Nothing to run home about but it wasn't bad. Everything was hot and came out relatively quickly and was made correctly. There was some sand in my clams, but I feel like that happens often when eating shellfish so I won't hold it against them.

This was our second time dining here; the first time being shortly after they opened. The restaurant is really beautiful inside with accents of green and gold and white. Outdoors, there's plenty of table space, a bar, and a stage for live music. It looked like it has been expanded since my first time there. I'm glad to see this restaurant doing well in Old Town Pompano. Our server was very friendly and assisted us with our questions about the menu. As we were there for brunch, we settled on fried green tomatoes Eggs Benedict, steak and eggs, and shrimp and grits. The fresh biscuits sounded so good that we ordered them. We should have asked for them to come out early, so we could enjoy them while we were waiting. However, we took them home and enjoyed them the next day. We also made the mistake of ordering a side of potatoes. That was definitely not necessary because two of the entrées came with potatoes, and we had more than plenty for the table. Again, something we enjoyed the next day. We were all impressed with what we ordered. Everything came out hot and cooked just as we had asked. My shrimp and grits were absolutely delicious. I also thought it was also nice that our server asked if we wanted to take our refilled drinks to go and prepared to go cups for us. This restaurant has been consistent for us, and I definitely plan to be back. Next time, I'd like to check out their live music scene and get a table outside when the weather gets a little cooler.
