While we were exploring the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in March, we wandered over to the guitar hotel part and checked out this lounge. It had great 80s music and the place was jamming. Nice decor with crystal strings hanging from the ceiling adding to the cool vibe. Comfy chairs in the lounge as well as at the bar. We tried their espresso martinis and they were delicious! Our server was very nice and attentive. It was packed with lots of happy people! Good place to go! read more

This was my first time at the Oculus Bar at the Hard Rock in Davie. The decor was inviting and we were able to sit at a large table with a semicircular bench and chairs at the table. We stopped by after dinner and before a show at Hard Rock Live. Our server, Sofia, was super friendly and welcoming. She took great care of us and gave us speedy service. There was live music in the corner that was not too loud, so we could talk while we enjoyed our drinks. We will be back! read more

Beautiful full liquor bar inside the Seminole Hard Rock at the new guitar hotel side. The servers were attentive and drinks came out very quickly. Super modern decor. A two person live band was performing mostly 1980's classic rock and roll. read more

Oculus Bar - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

The oculus bar is a grand and extravagant drinker paradise at the Seminole hard rock hotel and casino in Hollywood. If you gambling and need a fancy drink this lounge is a good place to sit back and relax after loosing some money at the tables or slot machines. The staff is always welcoming and attends to your needs to make you experience as pleasurable as possible. This location is out of the way of the casino floor so it is not as noisy or filed with cigar smoke. Be sure to stop buy and try out the Oculus bar next time you visit the hardrock hotel & casino. read more

Highly disappointed on the aged New York Strip, supposed to be medium rare , i never return a meal, the chef should know how to cook it. The bread was very good . Great environment but highly overrrated . The server taking away the plates should be trained on how to retrieve the plates with both hands with out making the guest back up from his arm, putting dishes on top of other dishes and making noice is unacceptable for the level of the restaurant. read more

Oculus Bar - Aged New York Strip medium rare . - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I can't drive by the Guitar Hotel not stop here. The atmosphere is so good, they've got a live DJ on weekends, as well as excellent staff. Stevie is a baller when it comes to making drinks, he's the only dude I go see when I'm there, truly a cocktail genius. If Stevie is busy you can always ask for Sophie or Andra, both of these ladies are spectacular at what they do and they're both funny as hell. I don't go gamble without stopping at Oculus. Directly across from Guitar Hotel check-in, and steps away from Council Oak Steakhouse. read more

This was my second time at this bar. The first time it was so packed that I just ordered a quick beer and left. Friday night, we got a seat and relaxed and people watched. We had a very nice server. Drinks were slow to arrive but I guess that is on the bartender end. At the time we were there, it was somewhat crowded but I have definitely seen it more crowded. Both times we ordered drinks it took a really long time. Luckily, we were in no rush. I ordered a Long Island iced tea to start and found the drink to taste like it had some artificial ingredients. Somehow it wasn't great. My friend ordered the Stoli Elite with Red Bull and that was very good. So I ordered that later on. I noticed the table is very close to the and bench seating where I was. The table is either very difficult or impossible to move. We tried. I had trouble sitting normally where the table would be right in front of me. I had to move to the side so my leg would not hit the table. Then, I had to reach awkwardly over for my drink. This is annoying. I'm not sure why they did this when there is ample room for people to walk around. Even if the table was pushed back a couple inches it would have been better. The atmosphere is okay but when it gets very crowded, the air gets real stuffy. read more

Oculus Bar - Jameson and expresso Martini - Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I have to admit this is my go to bar every single time that I go to the Hardrock. It is located on the right if you are walking into the entrance with the waterfall. First off the ambience is amazing. It is usually not crowded and it is right on the outside of the casino so it does not smell like smoke. It is also near the shops and the restaurants so it is a great place to start off the night. My go to drink is always a gin and tonic. I loved the way that they made it there. It was in a beautiful glass, plenty of ice and I loved the fact that they put a big orange wedge and a whole rosemary. I was able to smell the rosemary every single time that I took a sip. Classy, delicious, and the perfect place to start off the night if you are at the Hardrock. read more

I have visited this bar with my girlfriend and her cousin on January 5, 2020. I order a shot of Disaronno and 2 Mojitos. The waiter charged me $11 for the Disaronno which I was fine with. Problem with Mojito charges: But the African American bartender from Brooklyn charged me $18 for 2 shots of Bacardi and an additional Upcharge $6 (2x$3) for Mojitos, which means $24 for two Mojitos. Whereas, the same bartender charged $20 for two Mojitos to a guy just before me. Thats the only reason I ordered mojitos for my female guests because its $10. Upon questioning the bartender on the charges, he was rude and tried to give me BS when I mentioned to him about the customer before me. He kept saying which one- I don't remember. So watch out for these crooks.. read more

Be careful, we split the bill and they charge us twice, we were on the phone with the Hard Rock main number for a long time and they couldn't get a hold of anyone at the bar, I will not be going back to the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. I will be filing a Florida consumers complaint, there are numerous complaints in the Travel Advisors webpage, that should be a warning. read more

5:30 in a hotel / mall lounge; open seating bar no kids allowed. No signage, no anything. No wonder half empty. I would have normally been ok if there was signage, but the waitress was like if you want to have you kids go down the 3 steps you can have a drink to go. While I do understand there hard rock is geared towards adults, when there are concerts you're taking teens to hard rock needs to be a bit more accommodating. read more

Watch your wallet. The female bartrnder served us each 1 drink... for $50. We left a large time for the terrible service of $5 of which she added a zero snd stole $50 from us. I am unable to reach anyone at this site and will likely have to go down in person. Hard Rock is a huge disappointment and this bar is shady just like everything else there. read more
