What a fun experience! The service was phenomenal. Enrique, the bartender, was incredibly friendly and a wealth of knowledge. He made the experience even better and was happy to answer questions and share his expertise. They also have a scavenger hunt game, which was such a fun touch and made getting into the speakeasy part of the experience. And speaking of getting in... you better have the password! Check their website before you go. I had the Mangrove Secret, and it was SO good. Delicious, unique, and definitely a drink I'd order again. I'm 100% coming back, and next time I'm bringing friends. read more

Small, cozy speakeasy with a moody, intimate ambiance. The bartender was incredible, you could tell he was passionate and highly skilled in mixology. Watching him craft each cocktail felt like he was mixing up potions! The drinks were creative, well-balanced, and absolutely delicious. They also serve food, although we didn't get a chance to try it. Overall, a great spot if you're looking for quality cocktails and a unique atmosphere. Highly recommend! read more

A couple of friends and I decided to check out Green Hat Speakeasy for some drinks, located inside Extreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale. None of us had been before, and from start to finish we had an amazing experience. A big part of that was thanks to the incredible bartenders, Enrique and Mic, who were friendly, personable, welcoming, and took the time to explain how their drinks are crafted, which made the experience feel extra special. The menu offered a wide variety of unique cocktails, and the prices were very reasonable. I ordered the Gold Rush, and it was so delicious I went for seconds. We truly had a great time, and I'm already looking forward to coming back and bringing more friends with me! read more

We also completed the scavenger hunt, which was such a fun experience in such a small space. They almost stomped us... but not quite! read more

Tess is the best! We have been multiple times now and the drinks are always on point. The ambiance is really cool and moody. There is a cool scavenger hunt! Unfortunately no food here but it's still a fun time. read more

Probably the coolest bar I've been to so far. It's hidden inside the Xtreme Action Park warehouse, and you need a password to get in (don't worry, it's available on their website). That alone grabbed my attention. The speakeasy atmosphere is fantastic, with great decor that really adds to the experience. The bartenders are friendly, and their specialty cocktails are excellent. I don't remember the name of the drink I ordered, but it was definitely one to remember. They also have a treasure hunt, but I won't spoil it. That's part of the fun. If you're looking for a unique night out, I definitely recommend checking this place out. read more

Cool, little speakeasy that is hidden in Xtreme Action Park. You have to get the key code from their website in order to enter. The interior is very small with only about a dozen seats. I found the drink menu to be a bit confusing. The descriptions of the drinks don't really explain what's actually in them. However the drinks are very good. read more

We only had drinks however they were AMAZINGLY MOUTH WATERING (pun intended) drinks. The knowledge of the Mixologist who will provide drink knowledge so talk to them. We had the Gold Rush which made me salivate at the mouth. The orange grove think of an ice sickle ice cream bar. My wife had the Truffle Cache and the Alchemist Ritual close to an old fashion.. in addition to FABULOUS DRINKS. The scavenger hunt keep my wife busy for about an hour and a half . The atmosphere and decor gives off a beautiful speak easy atmosphere. Will be back!!! read more

If you can find it or heard of it. Definitely off the beaten path. You would never expect to find a high end speakeasy hidden at the Xtreme action park but that's exactly where it's at. I won't disclose exactly where it's at as it take away the adventure of finding it! Once you enter the secret door that can only be open with the door code. You are transported from a family place to a secret high end speakeasy with cocktails you have never heard of like the Gold Rush that is rimmed with buzz plant and almost numbs your lips and tongue almost like a drug but rest assured it's natural and completely safe! They have a select food menu that I did not try this time but will next time. We came to drink while the kids skated at the skate rink. Must try next time you come to xtreme action park!! Bartender was very knowledgeable and explained all the cocktails to us! Atmosphere is amazing as you are definitely transported to a different place! read more

We were bored at home and decided to do something unique. We decided to try Green Hat. WOW - what a treat! We arrived right at opening and were the only ones in the bar. Tessa was working today. She was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable, kind, easy to talk to, made great suggestions and really made the day special. Thank you, Tessa!! Service is five star!! There was no food served, but the drinks were expertly crafted and delicious! There is a scavenger hunt/escape room to discover the secret menu - the drinks were so unique! The ambiance is dark, and welcoming. There is a secret door to get in and you have to get the secret code before you get there - it adds to the speakeasy atmosphere. Overall, definitely a must try. We will be back!! read more

Hidden little spot inside Extreme Action Park. Make your way towards the VR area - they have a hidden door for adults only Small speak easy with instagram able and tasty drinks. One bar tender - a few seats at the bar & some lounge areas for relaxing& getting away from the chaos outside. I had the pecan old fashioned- but it was a little Astringent due to the pecan oil infusion. I replaced it with a standard old fashioned & was much happier read more

Superb customer experience - Awesome! Went with a good buddy from HS (45 Years ago) and had wonderful time sitting at the bar trying different drinks. Our bartender, Enrique was excellent and took the time to explain the various drinks and ingredients in detail. Had a lot of fun chatting and learning the menu. Thanks Enrique! The drinks were fantastic, the environment was just what we were looking for and great memories were made. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thanks all - Looking forward to coming back soon! read more

We feel we stepped out of one world into the next with the Green Hat Speakeasy .. HUGE Shout out to Tessa & Mick for being apart of what made this location so magical.

A speakeasy located within Xtreme Action Park. There is a secret code to enter and it is quaint inside with max capacity being about 20 people. There is a food menu but we only tried drinks which for the most part had a nautical theme. I got the S.S Razz which I enjoyed and there was also a small puzzle to solve inside which revealed a very neat surprise! read more

Finding a Speakeasy hidden inside an escape room is one thing. Finding an escape room type puzzle inside that speakeasy that leads to a secret drink menu? Count me in!! From the second we bellied up to the bar and watched Iker at work crafting masterpieces, we were hooked. Fast, friendly, and a master mixologist, his drinks looked almost too good to consume... almost... Everything in this place is meant to be picked up, looked at, and examined. Look hard enough at the right thing and you might find the clue that starts you on an epic quest. We found it, followed it, and solved the mystery. Merrymaking ensued. read more

Green Hat is one of my go-to speakeasies in Fort Lauderdale. It is a small and intimate space with ample seating. The menu is full of unique drinks but the star of the show is the Gold Rush which is a lychee flavored drink rimmed with powder from a flower that alters your taste buds. For entertainment, they have a free escape room with clues hidden all around the speakeasy. The prize is a secret menu drink. The bartenders are very friendly and easy to talk to. I suggest coming during a weeknight because they said it gets very packed during the weekends. read more

We stopped in a bit ago to Green Hat, one of the newest speakeasy's in South Florida. We arrived and knew where to go. I had been the month before, and we were turned away due to someone renting the place out. So the work on figuring out where to go was done. It was in the back past the arcades and in the escape room area. This time we got in. They called from the front area to see if there was room which was a little silly as once in there, we saw was only 2 people. There were only a few spots to sit, we grabbed two spots at the bar. The bartender was a nice enough guy. I ordered the Green Hat Grog. It came with the top lit. Oddly it was lit in the middle of the bar and I had to get up and walk around to blow it out and take my drink. My friend got her drink as well. After a few minutes she said her lips were numb. He said there was some ingredient on the top that does that. That was the second odd thing in 2 drinks that they wouldn't give a heads up on that. We made some small talk with the bartender and the manager there and they started trashing a couple other speakeasy's in town. I get why but didn't seem classy. Our stop in was fine, we might be back if we around the area. read more

Superb speakeasy vibes with a surprise activity. Great service and welcoming staff. Excellent cocktails.

The bar had horrible service was one of worst experience getting ignored by the bartender him overseeing me with serving other customers very much.\nSo seemed like he couldn't handle too many customers... This was my first locations to try in Florida extremely disappointed will not be going back. read more

I read prior reviews that stated not to bother it's just a bar in a gaming complex and I was hoping they were wrong. Unfortunately I totally agree. This is a glorified bowling alley bar. The concept is cool as far as a speakeasy goes but it's more like the speakeasy it wishes it could be. Feels cheap as far as decor goes. Drinks are really expensive and all sugar orientated. Not to mention there was only 6 other people in here and the bartender forgot our drink order. Really disappointed and will not come back here again. read more

Fish bowls, bath tubs, hidden menus, scavenger hunts! What else would you want for a night with friends?! This speakeasy not only is really cool since it's hidden in an escape room but the service and intimate vibe is what I love best! The drinks are consistent and I've been there 3-4 times always bringing new friends or colleagues! My favorites are the LEVIATHAN, GOLD RUSH, and REVIVER. read more

I didn't think Extreme Action Park could get any more entertaining, but they have done it with the addition of this hidden gem! We wondered in while playing arcade games, having heard of its existence on Instagram. This speakeasy held true to the traditional speakeasy experience, making single cocktails from scratch and using many ingredients made in house. I definitely recommend stopping by next time you visit Extreme! read more

Cozy little speakeasy. I've been a few times and the drinks never disappoint. Yes, these are not cheap drinks. The bartender, Iker, really crafts the heck out of these cocktails though. I've tried almost everything on the menu and if you're feeling fancy, and don't want to drink more of the usual, I highly recommend. Make sure you get some pecans to nibble on. The bad parts: Does not open on time (5pm). You are supposed to wait for the light to turn on. Hard to tell if they forget sometimes, or they just aren't ready promptly. Also, not a lot of seating so can fill up quickly and you really wanna kick back and relax to enjoy these drinks. read more

One of South Florida's best kept secrets. Creative cocktails, fun atmosphere, definitely must visit when in the area.

Surprising speakeasy hidden inside a massive indoor amusement center. The bartender is a master mixologist and the cocktails are works of art (and pricey). It's a great place to escape the madness of the arcades and other amusements but if you are not already at the Xtreme Action Park, it might not be worth navigating through the place to get to the speakeasy. read more

The Green Hat Speakeasy - A cocktail at the bar - Speakeasies Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This well kept secret is not as well kept as it used to be, but this is still a great place to go for a quiet night out. My friends and I first found The Green Hat in February when we were looking for a good cocktail lounge to go to for a birthday. It's a bit awkward to find, because you have to walk through the action park and all of the screaming kids, but once you are in the lounge, you are transported to a quieter, calmer place. There is a code created for every day, so you'll need to follow them on Instagram to find it. The inside is small, with just enough seating for maybe about 15 people, including bar seating. It is dark and atmospheric, definitely giving a 1920s speakeasy vibe. The bar where the mixologist creates the drink is covered in all of the decorations, additions, and flourishes, that every drink has, i.e rubber ducks, umbrella straws, and flamingo toothpicks. Every drink is handcrafted in front of you, and you can tell that the guy making it is very skilled and passionate about the presentation and the taste. My favorite drinks that I have tried there, have been the leviathan, and the deconstructed piña colada. The leviathan is a version of a spicy margarita served in a clay fish and the piña colada is served on ice, with a desiccated lime, filled with the most amazing tasting lime creme, ever. As I said, this place is small and fills up quickly, get there early, find a seat, and enjoy the chill atmosphere. read more

I love a speakeasy. During prohibition they were hidden bars selling illegal alcohol during the ban. Today they are still hidden but far from illegal. Modeled after the historical speakeasies of the 20's and 30's, the fun is finding your way inside and once you do you get to enjoy amazing craft cocktails in unique spaces. According to "legend" the Man in the Green Hat is James Cassidy, a notorious bootlegger from South Florida. He got his nickname from his beloved lucky green fedora. Using his speedboat The Leviathan, he smuggled alcohol from the Bahamas into South Florida. One night he was chased by the Coast Guard through a storm. The Coast Guard boat was overturned and all they ever found of the Leviathan was a piece of its stern. The government closed the case and that was the end of the Man in the Green Hat, or was it? Rumors circulated that he was shipwrecked, captured by mermaids, or dragged to another dimension through the Bermuda Triangle. Years later, deep in the swamp, hunters reported spotting a man wearing a green fedora. Now you can explore the myth and legend of the Man in the Green Hat at The Green Hat Speakeasy, a new bar experience that opened in November of last year inside of Xteme Action Park by the Escape Room. You can find it located behind a green door. Follow them on social media for a chance to get the code that changes weekly. I was also easily able to find it just by googling it. Once you enter the code into the keypad on the door it unlocks letting you into the secret room. The risk of creating a speakeasy is that the space can feel claustrophobic since it is usually small and windowless but they did a great job here. There is seating is at one of the room and the bar is on the opposite wall. Lining the wall is a bookcase where you can find clunes to open surprises in the room. Hint, check out the phonebooth. The real highlight of the Green Hat Bar was Iker Ibanez, the mixologist helming the bar. This is not your ordinary cocktail. So much care is taken in using the freshest top quality ingredients and the way they are put together. Each drink was a show. Some of the cocktails I tried were the Blue Crush made with vodka, honey, pineapple juice, coconut cream, and cinnamon that was lit on fire, the Deconstructed Pina Colada made with rum, lime juice, pineapple juice, heavy cream, and coconut, and the Whirlpool made with gin orange triple sec, lemon juice, Aquafaba, dragon fruit, and basil simple syrup served in a bath tub with a rubber ducky. The Davy Jones Locker was a show stopper. Cocktails will set you back $15 and they are worth every penny. Iker has magic hands. Mocktails can also be created for you. I also tasted some of their savory bites off their special menu. The poke, pork belly, whipped feta, and brussels sprouts were the perfect compliment to the fantastic cocktails. Thanks Leah was inviting me out. This is such a unique and fun experience. read more

We were so disappointed by the way we were greeted by Joe Perugia. Our party went in and were waiting to be greeted when he looked up at us angry, looked at his coworker and said "what the fuck? Weren't we fucking closed"; we were confused and asked "are you guys closed" where he responded and said "could you guys wait and give me a few minutes... like many many many minutes". It takes a second to be nice to potential customers. I would never recommend this place to anyone. read more

TLDR: Some of the best drinks you'll find in South Florida no contest. Service: small team but they are talented. Ambiance: the place in small and you really get the feeling of exclusivity. 10/10 read more

Real speakeasy with a hidden door, within the escape room. Grab the entry code from the website and find the Green door! Cozy, Steam punk vibes. The bartender is welcoming and really puts time into all of his crafting. I enjoyed sitting right at the bar to watch him work his magic. Drinks are unique and worth the cost. We were a little disappointed there wasn't any food options but they were fairly New and said they're working on it. We will definitely be back. Ask about their secret menu! read more

Different and awesome. The drinks are expensive but the experience is intimate and unique

So I will say I'm shocked where this is located. It's in the back of xtreme action off cypress. So a younger crowd would wander in and then leave after a drink or two. It's small and they do not take reservations so if you do want to check it out you may need to wait if too many people are inside; there is no time limit on staying which is nice. The mixologist was friendly and chatted with us while there. They're planning on serving small bites eventually but currently there isn't any food. The drinks were good but slightly pricier than other speakeasy's I've been to. If you're in this area I think it's a great location to visit though not sure if I'll go out of my way to visit. read more

There are many cocktails to choose from. A limited wine selection. Once you are inside, the fun doesn't stop there. You need to find another clue.
