Play Sporting Lounge - Sports Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

The bartender Matt was outgoing and a valuable asset to the Play Sporting Lounge. After years of passing by this place I thought it was only a basic bar until I stopped in today to grab a cold beer, and I was sadly mistaken. There were several virtual sporting lounge rooms with couches for an optimum experience. Six sporting genres including: Golf, soccer, hockey, baseball, cricket, basketball and football. A full menu of food and drinks are available while playing. One hour of mixed play for $45 up to eight guests max in room. Very large bar with dark wood frames wrapped with purple fabric comfy upholstery. Ordered on tap a Stone Hazy ipa craft beer 6.7% abv. Happy Hour is Mon thru Fri 11am - 6pm offering $7 craft beer and $10 wines & cocktails. Discussed with Matt the concept of the bar and will return soon for more craft beer and try a round of virtual sports. read more

Takeout review: This sports bar is located in the Hard Rock Casino. It has a bar and multiple televisions. They also offer bar food. I like that they had a takeout area at the bar. We stopped in and ordered some frozen drinks. The service was good and the drinks were decent. read more

Interesting bar with interactive private sports rooms. I got an Aperol spritz on happy hour for $10. Every day during the week from 11a - 6p is happy hour. Took a quick tour of the many sporting rooms one with two sets of golf clubs to use. Going to come back with a group of friends to play. Starting next week, every Monday at 7pm is golf night league for teams of 2. read more

My friend Alison made a reservation for us to eat here before seeing the Hard Rock Guitar Christmas lights show. Our party was already inside so we walked right in to our table. Lovely waitress came by to take our drink order. I decided on the lychee caipirinha. It was delicious and strong. We started with the charcuterie plate. The fig spread definitely elevated the flavor of the meats and cheeses. The Philly cheesesteak was tasty. The manager was also a pleasure to speak with. read more

joined the fun here on New Year's Day to take in the games, enjoy some drinks and bar food. Was able to find a table in the bar with a short wait, and the wait for a table in the restaurant restaurant was only 30 minutes, so overall, not bad. The food was general bar food and the drinks were good. Wish they would've had a better New Year's Day menu with all the lucky foods, but all in all good experience in the hard rock sports bar. read more

Checked out this place to host a happy hour with my co workers. I wanted to try out something interactive. I booked a area as it was going to be a large group of us. We ordered appetizers for the table and some cocktails that were on the happy hour menu. The wings hands down were phenomenal, highly recommend them. My issue was that several of the pieces needed to play the different sports were broken which was disappointing. For the food and activity altogether it wasn't a bad price. I could see myself going again. read more

I came here for a Ft. Lauderdale Chamber event and got to check out the games. They have 5 areas with virtual games (dodgeball, golf, as and. More) It's nice because you have your own little area so you can have a party. They have a full bar so you can order drinks as well. read more

Play Sporting Lounge - First timer - Sports Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

I came in for lunch and am happy I had time to kill. I was the only person in the restaurant, so I sat at the bar. The bartender was extremely friendly. I did order a salad with chicken on it. It's not a complicated order at all. I have no idea what took them so long, but it was beyond an eternity for the chicken salad. The salad cost me $28, the most expensive salad I have ever paid anywhere I have traveled. Yes, the argument can be made that you are at the Hard Rock; what did you expect? I wanted a salad that would blow me away, but this was not it at all. It was an average salad. Other items may be worth the heavy price tag, but this was not it in the least. read more

Play Sporting Lounge - Salad - Sports Bars Near Me - Hollywood, Florida

We came here before seeing a show at hard rock live. We reserved ahead of time where you can use your credit card to reserve your space in one of the bays. The bays include a lot of virtual game options which was cool, however not too sure about the accuracy of the games. For example, in basketball, we were hitting the backboard repeatedly, but never got any points! We had a few drinks and we ordered chips and salsa, which was absolutely terrible not even pretending to be restaurant quality. So we decided not to eat dinner there. At first, I thought it would be a fun place to go with a group but after this experience, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

We stopped by here for lunch after a pool party in the area. We had Cobb Salad with chicken. It was really good and hit the spot. The bill was $58 + tip for 2 small salads, just in case you are curious. A bit on the high side. We drank water. Our server was Jennifer, who was friendly and attentive. This is a cool spot to play virtual golf, get some good food, good drinks, and hang out. It's part of Seminole Hard Rock. This was our second time here. read more

Great experience at PLA hard rock sports bar. Ivy was our waitress and she was amazing super friendly attentive and made sure everything was perfect definitely made our visit even better would love to be served by her again. Great food 10/10!! read more

Very nice place. Team working helped a lot. Drinks reasonably priced. The interactive sports games they have are for rent by the hour per person in your group, not bad and a lot of fun. We had some food sliders with fruit instead a of fries and it was nice. Music is up beat Heads up the restrooms are in the hard rock so you have to leave the place to use the restroom. It was about 6 stores down We had a last minute addition to the group whose birthday was that day and the waitress was very nice and brought out a slice of cheesecake with a candle. This was a nice treat for us as we did t expect that at all. read more

Always a great time at the sports bar. It's right off the main entry of the parking garage so it's a quick in and out. And have a great happy hour and very generous portions. I can always share a Caesar salad with someone because it's huge and very tasty! During the week they often have samplers too, so while they're old-fashioned is usually my go-to, it was nice to try a little margarita. read more

Came for a work outing, let me start with ambiance, if you are an entertainment location, I'd say it doesn't matter what day it is you have to entertain. But for the benefit of the doubt it was Monday afternoon. Games: selection is not bad however the equipment has seen BETTER DAYS!!! They need to replace a lot of things here replenish and ensure all chests have all and enough items to play with. I noticed in one chest there was no baseball and other items were missing. There's no consistency here. The games need to be calibrated. The rooms are a little tight to play certain games... there's a risk you could hit someone... but no worries about it that's why you have to SIGN A waiver before you play. Food: we ordered appetizers platters; first off the chicken wings were over salted, the pizza was dried and undercooked, and lacked seasoning... I didn't tasted the sliders nor the chicken strips. Service was a bit slow, I am sure they could've sold more if the service was more attentive... not too impressed this time around. read more

I visited PLA Hard Rock around 10:30 PM with my hubby and a friend last night while visiting the Fort Lauderdale area, because received the recommendation for Wednesday night karaoke. Our waitress, Megan was AMAZING and provided excellent service. However, the overall experience was awkward due to hiccups with our food, alcohol and some incident that caused the police to be called (not involving us or anyone that we knew). The manager seemed a bit flustered and overwhelmed and was a bit off in approach. We ordered two Pla margaritas. They were supposed to have Casamigos in them, but they tasted awful, lacking Casamigos and including a weird after taste of spritzer. After sending them back, we opted for tequila shots with lime and those were better. The manager ended up giving the returned drinks back, but I didn't finish mine because it was not good. We ordered Buffalo wings, fries, a Philly cheese steak and sweet potato tots. The sweet potato tots were really good and I'd order them again, but everything else was okay at best. The Philly was decent for soaking up the shots, but reminded me of the frozen Steakems you can buy from the grocery store. The wings were initially sent out soft like they were baked Tyson frozen wings, and they ended up dropping them in the fryer for us upon request, and that helped. The fries were okay but had an odd breading on them. Karaoke was enjoyable to watch, but we were not able to participate before the cut off at midnight. To request to sing songs, you can scan the QR code in the back of the bar and it'll populate the location and music options. I recommend arriving earlier and participating via the submission form before 10:30 to meet the midnight cut off. The djay called my song, but the manager told him to stop karaoke because of the time and whatever incident that occurred. My overall rating toggles between a 3 and 4 based on the food, drinks and service. I enjoyed the experience and our waitress was a sweetheart, but the hiccups impacted my experience. read more

This place is super awesome to hang out with friends a girls night or boys night out. It has a full bar and about 6 interactive simulation sports games spaces. The finger food are really good few choices to choose from as well as many drink combinations. The pineapple martini is awesome and every time this drink is bought it goes to charity. Service is also great as they are always making sure your drink is full! read more

I was here once only for a Yelp event and it was fantastic! The food options were aplenty and tasty with something for everyone! The staff from owner, bar tender to servers all were friendly and seemed happy to be there and that's the kind of vibes you're looking for anywhere The Ambiance was that of a night bar but the sports aspects gives you the much needed interaction as the drinks start hitting you! Interactive sports games keeps you engaged and you're never bored! Thank you to everyone here for giving me such a great time read more

Food was delicious. Great options. Overall a great place to get food before Hard Rock Live.

Came here to watch the soccer game only 1 small tv was playing it, while the rest were playing the hockey game. Our server didn't seem like she wanted to help us, and took so long to check on us every time. Another server was also giving us dirty looks because we pushed the chairs back a bit so we can see the TV which the table was underneath. The chips and salsa, tasted like exactly like Tostitos. We waited for about 15 minutes after the entire bar was cleared for us to find someone to pay for our tab. Would only recommend if you're going to the bar and not the tables. read more

Yelp hosted a wonderful night at Pla! Everything was so amazing! Love a good sports bar vibe! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming! The service at the bar was great! I attended a yelp elite event here and the spread of food they placed out for us was amazing. I wish there were more plant based options available however the spread was amazing! The games are so fun and easy to use! A great place to have fun with friends! Really such a cool spot! Can't wait to visit again! read more

Came here for a yelp event and it was fun. This place is great to have a good time with yourself,friends, your boyfriend, husband. Once you likes drinks and games and sports this is the place for you. The staff was very friendly and managers were on deck making sure things were just right. I love that they had sections for a group to play virtual games or what a sports game. The drinks was strong and appitetizers were good. The place is very quaint not a huge sports bar but good size. It is in the Hard Rock hotel so perfect location. No need to drink and drive here just get a room. The pineapple Martinis was so strong and good. I love the fact when you order this frink the donate to a good cause. I forgot the name heart something but just a great cause. My favorite appitetizers was the chicken tenders not greasy which I loved. Go check them out won't be disappointed. read more

I'd never gone before this visit. I expected the usual sports bar. But I was pleasantly surprised to find this place loaded with huge tvs, fun virtual games, and really cool music. I really enjoyed the food. It was flavorful, fun, and filling. The Dj was lit, he played some throwbacks and some really hype music. All of the staff was friendly, the manager was really outgoing and helpful. I give this spot a 10 out of 10. And it's really great for happy hour, sporting event, and large groups. read more

A small hidden sports bar in the Hard Rock casino, we always end up eating here when we can't get a reservation at one of the nicer restaurants. The food was a mixed bag for our group. The burgers and sliders were surprisingly good. However, the pizza and cheesesteak were both mediocre. Both the service and the kitchen were slow. Even the process to close out was slow, although we had given our credit card to start the tab at the start of the meal! They had customers waiting for our table, and it took 25 minutes to get our check to sign after asking for it. I'm sure I'll be back at PLA, but only out of necessity. read more

I've been to PLA a few times. I really like the food, vibe and location. However service this last time was horrible. The bartender actually said hold on I'm busy. Not very customer service friendly. I'm giving 4 stars because I really do like this place and it's Been decent in the past. I want to give another try but not impressed last night with the service. It's right in front of entice and DAER. The music is good too so I really hope my experience is better next time. read more

This was my first visit to PLA Sports Bar and I didn't leave disappointed. The atmosphere was great and not of your typical sports bar setting. The food was good and accurate as ordered. The service was excellent and our table was visited by the Hospitality Manager Richard Gooding. He was professional, catered to our needs and asked how the food a service was. He was on it and this is not of your typical restaurant setting. Keep up the good work. PLA Sports Bar at the Hollywood Hard Rock gets two BFI fist bumps from me. read more

Angel is the King of Hospitality. It was my first time here and he made it so special making sure everything was taken care of and I could just enjoy my time. He was so hospitable and took care of everything. He was so kind and I definitely will be coming back because of the amazing experience he provided. PLA is lucky to have him. It's people like Angel that make it worth coming back. Thank you! read more

Round two at PLA with the gang. They have happy hour every day from 3 to 7 with drink and bar snack specials (pretzels, chips and salsa, etc). Thursday' was ladies night from 8 to 11, which is what we attended, and it's a pretty sweet deal. Cocktail specials from 8-11, $6 cosmos, and free Prosecco from eight to nine. I've shared flyer photos of both events. The game time was half off as well so the guys were included as well. Our host was nice and managed to take care of us as the night grew busier. It was a good experience. We'll more than likely be back again. read more

Ripped off! We went to the Play bar at the hard rock for happy hour before the Black Crowes concert last night. I told the bartender I was there for happy hour. I ordered two lemon drop martinis thinking they were $8 each at happy hour. I got charged $17 each and they were only half full! The menu says they're $15, but I got charge $17 each. Here is a picture of my receipt. I told the bartender I was overcharged. They were purposely ripping me off. Not happy! read more

Well, over a month ago some friends and I planned to begin a 50th bday celebration for a friend at this location. Reservations were made for the event. Aprrox 10 people. The night itself was fine. But we had issues with out area or pod. Whatever they call it, it was #5. The games weren't responsive or functioning properly. An adjustment was made to no avail so we carried on for what was a cool start to the evening. In the immediate aftermath we received an email from "Bob" looking for review of the establishment. We provided a fair review with the good and the bad. You think "Bob" would acknowledge or anyone that is connected? the answer is a resounding NO. We tried multiple attempts only to be ignored time and time again. Just so happens I've been been an expert in face to face customer service for over 2 decades. This is the bottom of the barrel when it comes to the subject. Thanks for nothing. read more
