Lunch on the water!!! "Beer in my hand and toes in the sand"...great place to eat and drink. Friendly staff included...don't miss this place!! oh yeah, FISH TACO'S!!!

Killer views and really reasonable menu for such a commercially marketed place. Ashley our bartender was by far one of the best. Great attitude, excellent at suggesting options.

Great place for a cocktail with a view and live music. We went on a Sunday at 5pm and a guitar/singer was performing. We sat in the sandy area. You get a great view of the intracoastal and the boats sailing by. There is a covered bar area. We had good service. They serve food, but we didn't have any. I had the spicy margarita, that needed more spice. We parked a few blocks north in the city metered parking garage.

5 o'Clock Somewhere Bar & Grill is a cool spot to sit outside. I love their patio area. They have the patio tables and chairs on sand. Bonus, there's a nice fire pit in the center of the patio with Adirondack chairs. Ahhhh. It's also located directly across the street from the Margaritaville Resort where my friend was staying. Convenient. Been here before with our family and we had a nice time. Food was good and we just loved the whole patio vibes. Manny was our server during this visit and he was so great! Super nice and laid back attitude. Don't mistaken laid back for lazy because he was a hustler and very attentive. Also very personable too. Above and beyond service fo sho! We ordered a few different things: * Blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos * Lobster Roll * Crispy Chicken Sandwich * Barbacoa Tacos * Kids Chicken Tenders * Kids Grilled Cheese * Kids Sliders * Key Lime Pie * Churros * Aperol Spritz * La Marca Prosecco * Virgin Pina Colada * Virgin Strawberry Daiquiri Drinks were good. Can't really mess up an Aperol Spritz or Prosecco. Lol. The kid's Virgin Pina colada was a bit heavy and sweet. Like I can taste the canned Coco Lopez. I think it needed more ice for sure. I really wanted grilled fish tacos and asked if they could make that. Manny said he could make the Mahi Mahi Sliders into tacos. Perfecto. My friend's Lobster Roll was buttery and tasty too. The fries were perfection as they were super fresh and crispy with just the right amount of season. Kids enjoyed their meals. Key Lime Pie was good but wish it was colder and firmer actually. It was too soft for my liking and warm. Ha. Churros were small portions but kids didn't complain. We stayed and hung out at the fire pit after dinner. It's such a perfect vibe to hang and relax. My bestie was in town and we were catching up. Manny was awesome and said we could stay as long as we like as long as we cleaned after ourselves. They were breaking everything down around us, which was fine by us. Haha. We left at 10pm when they closed. Cool spot when the weather is perfect! Go see Manny.

This tiki style bar was our final destination by our Fort Lauderdale water taxi which docked alongside the bar. The beachy atmosphere with a monster lit fireplace was the perfect place to have a drink and chill. Nothing super fancy at this place but a million dollar view of the intracoastal while sitting at the fireplace or watching football at the modern quartz top bar. At the far end if the property under a big tiki hut was a guy playing old rock and roll sings with his electric guitar and modest voice. The bathroom was clean with brown wooden flooring and beige marble-like walls.

Total tourist attraction to be honest. The food is ok and the beer and cocktails are middle of the road. The staff was friendly but if you're in a hurry to do anything understand your on island time. 12 people in the establishment and it took 35 minutes to get our food. I'm not complaining because we just watched the boats go by and were enjoying our vacation. You're sitting right on the intercostal waterway so you have an awesome view. The burgers were all overcooked, but not too bad. If you take the water taxi you get 15% off your food bill which they have obviously already figured into the pricing. This isn't a bad review or a good review, you're basically just paying to eat at Margaritaville.

Mahi sandwich

Nice spot with a relaxed vibe. I had the mahi sandwich and it was very good. Appreciated that they had Pibb soda. The staff was friendly and lively without being over the top. Overall, a solid place and I'd go back.

Drop off point for the Water Taxi for Hollywood and Margaritaville Resort. They have a very clean restroom and there's a waiting area to wait for the water taxi's return.

RIP Jimmy Buffett! Fun little bar that's part of the Margaritaville Resort. It's located right on Stranahan River, so you might get to see a manatee putter by. There's a stage area for live music. For food , they have a scaled-down version of the Margaritaville restaurant menu. For booze, they have it all. Bartender Ashley from Denver, CO was awesome. Thanks for the moonshine soaked cherries!

Fried chicken sandwich

March 2025 This place is great to enjoy live music, grab a bite to eat & a boat drink on the water! If beach atmosphere is what you're looking for this is your spot. Tables are seat yourself which is the only down fall. I hate when I have to do a loop throughout a restaurant looking for a promo spot. BUT I loved the fire pit, Adirondack chairs & the life size games.

I was excited to see they had Neapolitan pizza - my absolute favorite. When done right, I can legitimately eat it everyday. It was also a Wednesday and they have "Weiner Wednesday" - all beef hot dogs with various toppings. We ordered the Margherita pizza, with a side of prosciutto and extra basil, a char and cup pepperoni pizza and two hot dogs - one regular and one cheese and beef. I also ordered two flights and tried the majority of the lighter beers and IPAs. I liked all the beers except for the vanilla sundae IPA...that was an interesting concept but a bit too sweet for me. The Pilsner was my favorite - super crisps and delicious. The staff were super nice and attentive and the decor is fun with a lot of string lights. The pizza was delicious- I am so picky about pizza and it was so good. I wasn't expecting a brewery to have legit Neapolitan pizza but they did. The hot dogs were tasty took on a sesame hot dog but which I thought was a nice touch. The only thing I wish they'd done differently was toast the hot dog bun. It got a bit soggy while I was eating due to the toppings. This is a popular brewery but it still felt really chill. Bathrooms were clean and kept up. Honestly would be here all the time if I lived in this area. Very highly recommend!

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 spot had only been open a week when me and my buddy Disco Mike ducked in to check out the food and drinks. So we started with some Espresso Martinis and they were perfectly made and balanced, well done Limarys! We also enjoyed some complimentary Chicharones. Classy. See pics. We rocked out to the musician who was playing and really, really enjoyed the overall aesthetic of the place. They spared no expense in décor and design and acoustics. The bartop is amazing, all new glassware, they have their own chef and kitchen separate of the casino. It is really a high class spot and I should probably gatekeep it, but I'll see you there. Excellent service, appropriate pricing, classy vibe. And if you're a foodie check out my food tour business. South Florida Food Tour. Thank me later, booyah. See you at the Spell, Cabeza OUT!
