    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!

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!

I absolutely loved it! I enjoyed the atmosphere with Frank Sinatra on the walls and how beautiful and great the vibes were. The staff were very friendly and checked up on us a lot. I also enjoyed the live music! It was such a nice plus added onto our drinks that we had. I enjoyed the espresso martinis a lot here with the apps we shared. I highly recommend this place if you're looking for a speak easy and chill vibe!

    Came here for happy hour and left stuffed with good food and drinks - all for a great price…read more Happy hour I guess changed so the new menu isn't out and they said now it is only 3-6. I ordered the classic marg which was 3$ and then all the tacos were also 3. I got 5 total. It was a lot but luckily I was able to bring one home. Basically I got the Korean short rib and all the seafood tacos lol. Shrimp, fish, tuna, etc.

    Last minute happy hour at Tacocraft turned into such a pleasant surprise…read more I found it on Yelp while looking for a quick meet up spot with a friend, and the timing couldn't have been better. I got there around 6pm right in time for happy hour before it ended at 7. As a vegetarian, I'd honestly been avoiding this place for no real reason, but I was pleasantly surprised. The truffle mushroom tacos on the happy hour menu were excellent, along with the yuca fries and other vegetarian options. I had two tacos, two margaritas, and an order of yuca fries and let me just say, the portions are very filling. One taco would've honestly been enough. Everything was fresh and flavorful: mushrooms, roasted corn, vegan cheese, sauce, and cilantro. It really didn't need anything except maybe a little spice. Service was excellent from start to finish. The host, server, and bartender all very attentive. The atmosphere was lively but still comfortable, and for happy hour seating we were moved to the bar area, which was no issue at all. Overall, great food, great service, and a really nice spontaneous evening. Plenty of parking in the back off University, which is a plus. I'll definitely be back.

    We booked this venue for a "goodbye party" for one of our employees who is leaving us to go back to…read moreschool. We were a party of 30 and wanted to have a small space to ourselves so we would not bother others as we can be a bit rowdy. We were offered the outdoor area with the beautiful view of the pond. From the moment we walked in (with all of our balloons, etc) we were greeted and taken right to our area. Quickly thereafter, Alexia came outside to introduce herself and the other bartenders (I am sorry I forgot the others names). SHE WAS AMAZING!!!! The staff was so accommodating and took exceptional care of us. No matter what we needed, they were right there. The food was DELICIOUS and came out so quick. We did apps and cocktails and everything (especially the expresso martini) was excellent. I truly cannot say enough about Alexia!!!! She knows what she is doing! We are actually thinking about doing our Holiday party there this year because of how great she was :)

The hostess told us a few different options of where to sit from and we took a booth. The server was very on top of everything and came over quickly, got our drinks and told us of different drink orders that were happening at that time. I decided to get a zombie and it was amazing! The flavors were mixed perfectly and it was a nice pour! I decided to get the prime rib sandwich with fries as a side and omg it was heavenly. The meat was cooked perfectly and the ciabatta bread it was served on was fresh and soft! The cheese was melted perfectly and the meat was seasoned great as well! The fries were so hot and seasoned with something that was out of this world! The place has some nice decorations but overall is just a sports bar at the end of the day. It was super clean but I do wish the air was a little colder because it started to get warm by the time I was finished with my meal.

I also liked the seating at the booth - they were not square booths, but rather round "embracing" booths, so we were warmly greeted and we got a Lunch Menu! There were some cool options to be had a t a much reduced price- for lunch! My partner wanted a burger. Well he got the juiciest burger, and the fries were to die for! I picked from the lunch menu the pork with mojo and rice and beans and let me say my dish was very savory and good! Not the Cuban style Mojo I was expecting, more of a Caribbean-Jamaica flavor to it, but very delicious nonetheless. We ate with much gusto to our hearts desire... and eventually had to get a doggy bag because even my lunch portion was bough to take some back home for later. Great place, service and ambiance. Did I mention they have a Wednesday Trivia night? We might be back for that!
