    First time here for me. As a 67-year-old I normally don't go out by myself at night or drive at night 45 minutes away from my home in Pompano, but my son,DJ Matt Kelly was the DJ at this very cool place. It's a very old building and probably has original beautiful wood floors, very dark, black walls, and a nice big bar with friendly bartenders and a stage. The building is set on the side street off of the main street, which is like a little Atlantic of Delray, but not as fancy. I went in after talking to the security guy outside who was very nice and I tried to hide at the bar to surprise my son but he saw me right away and his wife was with him, so she sat with me and we had a drink and waited for Matthew to start DJing. I must say he is a very diversified DJ he knows how to play to whatever crowd he is for. This was really not my kind of place, lots of younger people with lots of tattoos and nose rings lol and the kind of music I wouldn't normally listen to, but everybody else in the place seem to enjoy it, of course, I was the oldest person there LOL so I listened for a little while, had a drink with my daughter-in-law and then left to come home, driving on crazy speeding 95! Ugh. I highly recommend this club to younger people who like this kind of music and my son is very talented! I'm sure it's a very fun place off of a great avenue, but I think I'll stay away for a while lol.

    Propaganda has continued to serve as a much-needed live concert venue for local bands in Palm Beach County that's conveniently located in downtown Lake Worth -- I say conveniently located because I live close tot here. Having been in operation for at least 10 years, since I lived in Fort Lauderdale, Propaganda is still going strong, putting on good shows, and keeping it real. Located on S J Street just before Common Grounds Coffee House and Revelry Beer and Wine Bar, Propaganda has a vibe that's cool and definitely local, promoting and putting on shows that are unique to the area, covering multiple genres. The interior has a very egalitarian vibe between the socialist imagery and red and black flourishes encompassing the walls and stage area. The bar island area allows for patrons to circle around to find spots to ask for a drink from one of the bartenders on duty -- with the left side set up for seating only. There's a pool table and lounge area at the back of the venue, where the restrooms and DJ booth are also located. Parking is fairly easy depending on the day, with street and lot parking available. However, on any given Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evening especially, you are prone to having to find parking at least a couple blocks east or north, as Lake Worth fills up with people frequenting one of the few bars on Lake Avenue between Dixie Highway and L Street. Additionally, depending on the day and what event is being held, there is usually some kind of cover to enter the venue, so be prepared to hand over some green -- i.e. $5 to $15 usually, unless it's some out-of-town or national band performing. Propaganda has always had good vibes and all kinds of people frequenting there since they opened. Always a good time, and great that it's so close to where I live if I don't feel like going to West Palm or south to Fort Lauderdale.

    Chill bar with a lame website. Everything you really want to know will be on their Facebook page. Most nights they are pretty empty which is great if you want to come in and have the place all to yourself. Watch some hilarious videos, play some pool, or get something new on tap. Bartender is supper cool and very knowledge. Even the bathrooms are nice. Though they bring in some nice bands - I don't know if they are ever fully prepared for the huge crowds that turn up. But I guess that's the point? The crowds get rowdy but nothing crazy. Friendliest hole in the wall in Lake Worth.

    I personally like the atmosphere of this place alot. Good drink specials. Great lounge area, along with the most amazing bulb lamp over their pool table, and a 2 player pacman arcade machine. Fun times.

    This place is cool love the vibes nice pool tables

    Propaganda is a cool place to go when there are Venues in lake worth I went to a dead prez concert there it was small but really cool because I got to interact with the artists and be more personal with them at the end of the show we were all taking photos together and having brief conversations with these guys i looked up to My whole life what an exciting night that's why I had to come back and write about it months later lol

    I've started going on Tuesdays for karaoke night and love it! It's not a new and shinny place, it's not busy and happening...but it is so much fun! The guy who runs karaoke night is a riot! The bar tender is always great. They have a TON of songs to choose from and the crowd there is so much fun. It's not very busy (at least when I've been there). Usually only a hand full of people when we show up there but it's definitely an awesome place to pop in for a couple beers, hang out, sing a couple songs, and have a couple laughs.

We had some shots can't remember what they were we left it up to Colton and they too were delicious. We had a couple of vegan cheeseburgers and even though you picked them from the refrigerator and they warm them up they were still delicious! The lounge is pet friendly and the perfect place to go if you just want to decompress, maybe get some work done in a quiet place, read a book, or just connect with that someone special. I highly recommend this place, especially considering the alternative across the street is not very friendly and not very excepting of Certain types of people especially LGBTQ.

You can feel the difference the moment you walk in -- the energy is smoother, the service is sharper, and the team clearly takes pride in what they're doing. The new management style deserves real credit. They've made thoughtful staff changes that immediately improved the atmosphere and consistency. Everyone behind the bar is friendly, attentive, and actually seems happy to be there, which makes a huge impact when you're trying to unwind with a shell or settle in for a relaxing night. Mystic Roots has become one of those spots where you feel genuinely welcomed every time. Clean space, great drinks, and a team that gets it -- exactly what a kava bar should be. If you haven't been in a while, go back. If you're new to kava or kratom, this is absolutely the place to start. Mystic Roots is running better than ever.

Mystic Roots was clean & Noah greeted us immediately upon entry and gave us a run down of the menu. If you're new here and don't know what kava is, here's the deal. Kava is a root from the South Pacific that's brewed into a tea like substance. It's known for being upbeat, social, anti-anxiety, and relaxation. Kava tastes like dirt. Period. You don't drink it for the taste; you're drinking it for the effects. Mystic Roots has a friendly cheers like vibe where the patrons all know each other's names. Would be a great place to meet other sober people, have a new experience or do some work during the day. Super chill vibes & Noah was a gem. Thanks for the amazing experience & the tasty drinks. Will be back!

Don't sleep on Boynton Beach - cocktail bar vibe, hiding in plain site in a strip mall... this gem is chef inspired and simply amazing. We tried the wood fired asparagus served on toast with a gooey egg and then the pork belly grilled baby bok choy and both had me in the happy chair dance. Although steak definitely makes sense with a wood fire concept, instead we tried the lamb rack served with a mint sauce combo that has you cleaning the plate and local pompano served curry lite with wild mushroom (delish)!

Location was easy to find and parking was even easier. Walking up there were bright lights and music was blasting. But at 10pm the inside was near empty. Beautiful flooring for dancing but the few people lining the walls or in VIP area were smoking hookah and/or throwing back drinks. I make my way around to the outside lounge where more people chat away and smoke under the stars. Lounge area is pretty chill under good weather. Servers circle around if you take a table so no need to go back and forth for the bar. Thursday's are a bag a skittles; anything/everything. Sometimes it's a drag show, sometimes it's karaoke, sometime it's some random theme party. (Karaoke Session - yeah I walked out with what seemed like 1/2 the crowd.) Don't know if this was the first night doing this but it definitely wasn't advertised properly. There is very rarely someone at the door on Thursdays. Latin Fridays - Call me a hater - but I don't understand letting 18 years into a bar. Music and drinks were still very nice. And the dance floor is great to show off your bachata.
