It's a fun crowd on a Sunday but management needs to pull it together. Fourth of July decorations still up in August, Chickee hut roofs replaced with rotting FEMA tarps, A/C struggling to keep the inside cool. Staff is good as well but the space feels neglected. read more

Delicious Water. Great ice to water ratio.. Bar staff is fantastic. Drinks are wonderful. Watched D&D patrons should throw the bartender some love read more

Scandals is a great country western bar. There is no food served. We were there for karaoke on a Wednesday night. It was pretty slow but we had a lot of fun. Jason, behind the bar, was friendly and really made our visit a great time!! read more

There may not be a lot of nightclubs in Broward that have valet parking with pool tables, a drag queen show, cheap drinks, and country line dancing with free lessons, but there's at least one! Even with everything I just described going on, Scandals has a neighbor bar kind of feel, where the bartenders know your name remember your drink order. We went last night after the Pride Parade and had a great time. Highly recommend! read more

Nice saloon type atmosphere with a nice outdoor deck and bar and 2 pool tables. Great place to hang out with great drinks, live entertainment and line dancing. read more

Front bar by the door yes they have the fastest bartender (not necessarily the best one) if you stand in the right spot if not they ignore you for half an hour. Just go to the bar in the back to the right, the bartender is super hot, knows what he is doing and is very cordial and pays attention to everyone at his bar. I was very happy with his service. Food was decent and quick. That is the only reason why I didn't leave after being ignored by the 1st bar tender. read more

Scandals Saloon - Self explanatory. - Gay Bars Near Me - Wilton Manors, Florida

THE place to be on Sundays. Outside patio is fantastic. It gets very crowded, but it's worth it! The scenery is great. You can't find a place to dance, but the music is great! Parking is always a problem. read more

A great place to hang out for karaoke, country dancing and more. But since I live 2 hrs away and I'm only there on weekends, my review is for the Sunday afternoon t-dance party. Between the bartenders, the crowd there, snowbirds and visitors, and the great disco music, Scandals is definitely my go-to spot for meeting new people and having a blast while I'm in Fort Lauderdale. read more

The bar tenders usually offer a good service. The bar tender Mike definitely needs to improve his customer service skills. The ambients good. read more

Came by this local watering hole on Sunday but couldn't find parking due to the limited parking available and didn't appear that there was any street parking nearby (visiting the area) so decided to stop in yesterday evening as it wasn't as crowded during a weeknight. Bartender was very attentive and served us in a flash! There was another customer (appeared to be a regular) whom had been sitting there a while and "kind of" jokingly told the bartender that he had served everyone else but him. Some type of drag bingo going down and the bartender informed us of the details; however, when passing cards around we were not offered any (which is fine by me, IDC for bingo anyway LOL). read more

Lee was teaching line dancing tonight so I stopped by to see him. Unfortunately the place was empty except for the dancers. The patio bar was closed. Sitting at the bar alongside the dance floor for it smelled like sewage was backing up. We had to move towards the main bar because it was so nauseous. The bartender said we've been having problems with the bathroom. read more

Great bartenders & music. Garden also has music. Sunday tea dance best in USA. Pool and card room.

They have a great outdoor patio at the back and it's filled to bursting on Sundays in the late afternoon. Most of the rest of the time it's quieter when I go. The previous manager has recently gone to The Well I think so they are now making changes to what events they have. Let's see how it goes. They have suffered with having to move events from the patio indoors I believe due to noise complaints in the couple of years. I hope they bounce back, it's a good kinda dive bar space but away from the drive a little. read more

Fantastic LGBTQ Bar. Great bartenders, hot men. Outdoor dance bar is incredible. Indoor dance floor with amazing shows. Must visit when in south Florida. read more

So Saturday night. Two of us at the bar by the dance floor... bartender too busy talking to his friends - for 30 minutes- to offer us drinks. Got one from center bar, finished, bartender still too busy. Sunday? Poker dealer - Peter - is a total *** (let's just say not pleasant) to guys wanting to play. Is this typical for clubs in Ft Lauderdale? Count me out! read more

As patrons who frequent Scandals quite often we have never run into an issue here, but today we were met with extreme unprofessionalism. The bartender was a total jerk and insulted us right off the bat before our first drink of the day. At first, we assumed it was humor but as it continued for more than 10 minutes, we realized he was simply being rude. He should be let go. We paid the tab and left quickly with no tip. Ive been to scandals many times and the bartenders were always great. His behavior was inexcusable and reflects poorly on your otherwise fine establishment. I hope you guys will be able to redeem yourselves in the future but I cant and wont recommend Scandals anytime soon. This was Tuesday at opening Jan 16th. read more

To say I had a great experience at Scandals would be an understatement. We stumbled upon this place and had the time of our lives! Everyone here is so unbelievably kind and welcoming, may Scandals live on forever!!! Can't wait until next time read more

Have been going here off and on for three years. We went on Sunday early, around 3 pm, to get a table on the patio. While I was getting drinks my husband was told that the table was reserved, it did not have a reserved sign, and apparently is reserved every Sunday. We pointed out that there was not a reserved sign and in our long history of drinking that we'd not seen reserved seating on a bar patio. We were told we'd have to move. So, we finished our drinks and went to DRYNK where we are always welcome and our business is appreciated. Won't go back. PS DRYNK has the hottest bartenders. read more

I loved this place before it closed but have to say it's way better now! The new owners have put allot of money, thought and time in remodeling, entertainment, Management and staff. It's a safe establishment for ALL to enjoy. Being a gay bar it's one that is here for everyone. Dance the night away to country music. Sunday Tea dances are packed. I could live without the drag shows as it seems every bar thinks they have to have them. Drink prices are cheap, staff friendly and helpful. They keep an eye out for their guests. Management are hands on. Not scared to get their hands dirty from bar backing to bartending. Glad they got rid of Howard that just took up bar seat to stare at customers and make negative comments to staff. Certainly used to make me feel uncomfortable, but now is all good and this place is on point. Free valet parking (tipping the valet is appreciated) or you can park your own car out behind the business next door. JUST DO NOT PARK ACROSS THE STREET, that is a no no and you will be towed. Give this place a well deserved five star rating and would recommend it to those looking for a great place to go. read more

Always have a great time at Scandals. Bartenders Nick, Vince, Michael all awesomely-friendly guys who keep the drinks flowing. Love to go to Karaoke on Friday's, especially to see this guy named Saxytime play his sax. read more

Scandals Saloon - Saxophone player - Gay Bars Near Me - Wilton Manors, Florida

great place to hang with friends. Staff are nice and attentive and cute. Great drag show and line dancing to boot.

Scandals just re-opened with their new owners. Was there on soft opening night and then back again a few days later. The staff and owners are going through some growing pains. The bartenders, though friendly, were extremely slow (but then again, this is Florida). Bartenders kept running out of glassware and liquor and suppliers. Barbacks were few and far between. Construction was going on while the bar was open and packed with patrons. The sound system leaves a lot to be desired. Hopefully over time, they will get things more organized and possibly deserve that fifth star read more

Best Sunday afternoon T- dance in So Florida, Great DJ music, great bartenders, large patio to enjoy it all.

Finally the long suffering is over. Scandals is DEAD and CLOSED. Killed by its newly necessitated and required valet parking, read more

So sad on a Saturday nite just like every other bar drag show no one on patio if I wanted drag I'd go to lips no line dancing or dancing at all ugh!! read more

great place ! have been going there off and on for several years. The big negative is the cigar smoke ! Although it is outside the number of people seems to keep the smoke from clearing out and it just hangs around. Really is cigar smoking necessary in such a dense crowd ? read more

I'm here during happy hour on a Friday and it's DEAD. 9 people on the patio. Been coming here since Memorial day 2007. This place was always busy and fun. Kind of sad. read more

I go to Scandals every Sunday for tea dance. Lately it's been VERY busy bd parking is difficult (to say the least). Tuesday night Bingo is fun but it takes forever to get through 6 games. read more

Great place. Vince is THE BEST bartender that we have ever known. He is at the outside bar on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Sundays.

I love coming here, somethings are a tad off. Valet is just silly. No one uses it, they're rude... to the point you want to say "give me my keys back" and just leave. Every experience with them, rude. It's just bougie. The TouchTunes is divided into two boxes, the one inside and outside. You don't realize you've put $20 into the thing until it's the outside one, which BTW doesn't play, but you're paying for. The inside has 230+ songs in the queue. No, really. On the positive, we have great taste in music, so it's good all the way. You just won't hear your song on your visit. The most craft beer you are going to find is Yuengling -- I know I'm sounding snobby, but come on?! I'm 40 freakin 8 and want a craft beer instead of corporate breweries. You're a local bar and there are great new breweries in Florida that you can support. Owned a bar, took the risk, it's worth it. Some bartenders are friendly, others just want to focus on their regulars and ignore you. In general, it's a great place. Folks are friendly. Worth the stop. read more

I popped in on Thursday, May 11th during the afternoon. I had a good time in the back bar. Bottled beer was $8 and $9 for 3 beers, domestic or imported. Great value. Mike was the bartender and he was awesome! He worked the entire bar checking to make sure everyone got prompt service when they needed a drink. He was very very personable, charming, funny, cute, and entertaining. I had not been there since before COVID started, but I will be back again soon. read more

There's nothing country and western about this place at all. Have become been coming here for the last 6 or 7 years, but this trip found the drink prices truly over the top at $8 for a simple mixed drink. The Karaoke was boring as the sound system was not designed for vocals. If you are expecting cowboys and line dancing you will be disappointed! read more

I Spent the weekend in Wilton manors and this was the only Bar I visited.. Sunday Tea Dance was the Best!! so many Handsome Men in attendance.. Bartenders were extremely friendly!!! Fun!! read more

Has anyone ever heard of a bar where the staff tells the police a patron was drunk? The Valet did just that. Thanks to them I am going through 6 months of hell. I will never buy a drink here again. I caution everyone who does frequent this place. I had 1 shortly poured drink. read more

Awesome place to hang out with best friends. Great drinks. Great bartenders, especially Michael and Josh. Awesome ambiance. I highly recommend Scandals. read more

Scandals Saloon - a large group of people standing under umbrellas - Gay Bars Near Me - Wilton Manors, Florida

Scandals is amazing. Literally the best bar in the area. Drinks are cheap, pours are heavy, service is top tier and the patrons are the nicest people I've ever met. I'm from Kentucky and this is the first time I've found a place that feels like home. The food here (The Brothel) is ON ANOTHER LEVEL. How is this food so amazing and so reasonably priced at the same time?? Scott is a GOD in the kitchen. Yes, it is a gay bar but you definitely do not have to be gay to come here. Come one, come all. Welcome home to Scandals Saloon. read more

Nice place but turned off they they charged $5 to park in a handicap spot. Not cool for the older crowd.

"Let's go to Ssssscandalsss!", said he, hissing his 'S's. My answer was a sing-songy "Yessssss!" Scandals is always busy, but whenever I go there, I go for late night drinks and karaoke. There's not really that much to say, I guess. Drinks are cheap, but service is slow. However, when you're not in a hurry to get even more drunk than you already are, what the heck! They have a popcorn machine with free, get-it-yourself pop corn that tastes like gourmet snacks when you're drinking and therefore crazy-hungry. LOL! Karaoke list on Sundays closes at midnight. There are a few parking spots right in front, but if their lot is full, you are certain to find a spot at the huge lot across the street. read more

The new ownership has really put a lot of MONEY, time, energy, and careful thought into reviving Scandals as the 'go to' bar in the Wilton Manors/Oakland Park area. Renovations have really spruced up the place. Drinks are flowing at great happy hour prices. Much thought has gone into providing a variety of entertainment, along with the popular Sunday T-Dance, weekly country dance lessons, and Karaoke. The manager, Alex Amerosa, has put his heart and soul (and tireless energy) into turning this venue into something really special. You can't beat the outside patio bar and spacious area to mingle and enjoy our South Florida weather. Bartenders are friendly and go out of their way to help you have a great experience. A big shout out to Chris Lodge and Vince Messina - and Warren Hatch who always go the extra mile for ALL customers. Thank you. read more
