Surprisingly good and we'll be back :) Went last Friday night. Staff/bartenders were all friendly, attentive, good looking and pored a strong drink. Food came out fast and was delicious. Prices also very fare. Areas that need some work: Sound system kind of sucks. Restrooms are in dire need of repair and updating. read more

I don't think I've been here since this place was Hamburger Mary's. Other than a big outdoor patio and a stage, I can't see that it's changed all that much. I arrived around one o'clock on a Saturday and there was already a diverse crowd of gay, lesbian, drag, straight and alcoholic. But everyone was enjoying themselves, having a good time. The Well has a pleasant safe good time atmosphere about it and the the diversity adds to the overall enjoyment and good feeling. I settled in at the bar, had a good Bacardi and sprite and ordered The Wellburger rare while my partner went for their Legendary Well Big Weiner with everything. My drink was top of the line, no ordinary watery tasting dive bar drink and burger, though not juicy as were those of the Hamburger Mary day, an OK burger. My partner's Legendary Weiner was huge and totally covered with every condiment including a very tasty chili sauce. I tried and really liked what I had. Most flavorful though difficult to was since you can't help slopping some of the condiments around. read more

Bar with good pub food, loud and drag-focused with tough parking Food was the best I've had in a bar on Wilton Drive. Buffalo chicken flatbread was pretty terrific and large( ate half for lunch next day) From a previous visit, I recommend Yum yum salad which comes with either tuna or chicken over greens with tasty stuff mixed in Ambience was roughly the same as Hamburger Mary's the previous occupant. Sit outside if you can, inside the sound system is pumping out a bit too much volume to hear your pals. Parking is tight to nonexistent...try the small lot out front or pay by phone. Service was very good, especially for a loud bar. Our server was friendly, helpful and prompt. read more

The Well - Gay Bars Near Me - Wilton Manors, Florida

You'll find a diverse, relaxed crowd here -- and it really does feel inclusive, which fits Wilton Manors' reputation as a queer-friendly destination. There's usually something happening: drag brunches, watch parties (including RuPaul's Drag Race themes), karaoke nights, game nights, and more. That makes it feel less like a bar you just sit in and more like a place for experiences. The drinks are straightforward and approachable -- nothing super pretentious, but also not watered-down tourist fare. They definitely hit the spot for what this place aims to be: a neighborhood bar with a good time at its core. read more

Sunday Drag Brunch at the Well is a must do. We came today and were a little nervous about the light crowd but it turned into a truly fabulous experience. Our waiter Chandler was on top of it and kept our bottomless drinks ($22 for mimosas and $27 for margaritas and Bloody Marys) flowing. He was fun and friendly and attentive (so hard to find all 3). You didn't even have to ask for refills he was so on top of it. I'm normally one for buffets but their breakfast buffet is weirdly good. Some of the best shrimp and grits I've had in South Florida (and I'm from Nola) and the pancakes were amazing. The performers were also top tier and put on such a lively fun show. The dance moves, the glitter, and the joy was fantastic. I hope to come back soon. read more

Love the bartenders and staff. The Well usually has daily specials that a lot of people are sleeping on. Monday nights I enjoy half off all menu items and drinks. Taco Tuesday, Wing Wednesday (1/2 off appetizers too). Check out their socials for the current specials. They also have different daily events. Karaoke night, Latin night, hip hop night, game night, variety shows, drag brunch etc. If you're going to spend a night out on the drive, drop by the Well to pregame. Enjoy great drinks at great prices. read more

While the staff is generally great as far as the bartenders go, the food is really very BAD . Even if you excuse it as bar food, the quality is horrible, the beef in the cheese steak sandwich tastes like sand . The chicken wings have an unnatural consistency from reheating. If you don't mind bland and low quality ingredients in favor of cheap daily specials this might be your place to mingle with some below average people . read more

Three of us ate dinner at The Well. This is a Canadian company with six locations in Canada. Wilton Manors is the first U.S. location. The Well is considered a gay bar/restaurant. We weren't expecting much since past establishments at this location had terrible food. However, we were pleasantly surprised because the food we ordered was really fantastic and very affordable. Daria was our server and she was very attentive. On Wednesdays, they have "open mike" starting at 8pm. People sing, read poems, tell jokes etc. Wednesday drink specials include $5 Bacardi, Tito's, or Altos tequila. On Thursday around 10pm is Hip Hop night. Saturday and Sundays at 1pm are drag shows (don't tell Ron DeSantis). We started with The Well lager - their own beer. It was crisp and flavorful. If you like lagers, you'll probably love this. It had much more body than a bud! We ordered meatballs to start. They come in a barbecue sauce that was good. The balls were the size of ping pong balls and an order gives you a generous amount of about 20. Next, we ordered The Works Flatbread. It was larger than most flatbreads and quite hardy. It comes with chicken, marinara, bacon, mushrooms, sweet peppers, cheese plus a few other ingredients. It was delicious! This was a "10". Finally we finished with loaded quesadillas. They were stuffed with grilled chicken, jalapeños, tomato, cheese and other things. They were large and filling. I attest that these were the best quesadillas I have ever had. Get them! Daria says the most popular dish is Cajun jambalaya pasta. We didn't order that but I plan to in the future. This is a really great place and I hope they survive on Wilton Drive. The food will be better than you can imagine. read more

Where do I even begin! This was such a fun place to visit. The staff was friendly and welcoming from the moment you walk in. We came in for the Sunday Drag and the host Jasmine Lords was such a fun time. All the performers were amazing. The food was really good. Love my buffalo wrap. It was the perfect like bar food I needed to pick me up in a Sunday. The music was great. I recommend checking out the Sunday Drag Brunch! read more

10/10 -- highly recommend Seriously impressive food. Everything tasted fresh and thoughtfully prepared. My compliments to the chef ‍. I went for Wednesday Gamer Night, and it was awesome. They had about six consoles running across six TVs lined up side-by-side on the same wall, so multiple games were happening at once and you could walk right down the line and watch or jump in. Great energy, friendly crowd, and the staff kept everything running smoothly. If you like good food and gaming, this place is a hidden gem in Wilton Manors. Definitely going back. read more

The service was not bad but also not good. It was fine. The place was empty and after tasting the food, I see why. The fried pickles had no batter on then, it had all fallen off so it was just dried pickles. The hot dog and chili was fine but could've been better. Also, they had a sign out front saying that they had the hot dog with chili and cheese for $10. So my party and I sit down, order drinks only to find out the hot dog deal ended at 7. I felt they should've honored the price considering they left up the sign after the designated time. That was a minor inconvenice but to pay full price for trash food was the actual disappointing part. read more

This has been the second time here and can honestly say will come here every time we are in town!!! Come from Kissimmee just for the VIBE AND THE DRAG!!! read more

Every time I walk into The Well in Wilton Manors, Manny is the reason I feel right at home. He has such a welcoming presence--always greeting me with a smile and remembering my favorite drink. His professionalism, warm personality, and attention to detail make every visit a great experience. Manny goes above and beyond to make everyone feel comfortable and cared for, and it shows how much pride he takes in his work. Truly one of the best bartenders around--The Well is lucky to have him! read more

The Well previously went by another name and owners. The food/menu is diverse and the daily specials are delicious and very affordable. The new bartender during the day shift is fantastic (with a hearty laughter) and is very well known and loved in the community. The night is lively with different entertainment and genres. read more

A fantastic addition to Wilton Manors pub food. I loved the Cajun Jambalaya ... like being in New Orleans ... andouille sausage, chicken and jumbo shrimp with mushrooms and peppers served on penne pasta in a picante cream sauce with just the right amount of heat. A friend had a cheeseburger and said it was cooked to perfection (a hint of pink on the inside, as he ordered it). Manny was attentive and friendly. This will become a regular lunch place. I'm looking forward to the fish 'n' chips ... heard it's "by far the best in Wilton Manors." The only thing missing from The Well are Reubens and vegetable sides with the sandwiches. Bravo! read more

Went with my partner and friends to the Well last night. We own a place here but spend only about 3 months out of the year here. My partner sings karaoke and has been there before. He put his song in and we waited for his turn like every other place. He checked on his phone and saw where he was on the list. Well, we waited and waited and noticed "locals" came in and all of a sudden they were singing and he just waited. After almost 45 minutes and only a handful of people there, we left. It was quite obvious that local people get priority over everyone else to sing. Maybe that's why it was only a handful of people there? I can tell you that we won't go there again. We'll go where everyone is treated fairly and a rotation that includes everyone is used not just locals. read more

I gotta say did not have a good experience. I went just this past Sunday went visiting Fort Lauderdale for my birthday. We were excited for their throwback Drag brunch. The show was supposed to start at one, we were there about 40 minutes before early and we the only 2 other people were there. I think close to 1 o'clock the performers started showing up but no make up and not nearly ready for a show. I mean these greens didn't even have an eyelash or lipstick at least! Nothing We literally just sat there staring at a projector screen for almost another hour, and then decided to cut our losses and go. The other two people had already left on top of that the food was mediocre and I didn't get the toast I ordered to go with my Sunnyside up eggs I reminded the waiter immediately but by the time they came (a very long wait for what must be a slow toaster), I had already eaten the my cold eggs. I'm not sure they would've been better hot anyway but it's not the point. It's a small fail coupled with a show that I imagine began sometime after being almost an hour late and meh food I think the best I could say is the beer was cold and server was friendly. read more

Great service and food. Manny made our time great . Delicious lunch and fun. Light and airy long gone is the past atmosphere . DeLish read more

We went here for lunch. At 1 in the afternoon we were the only customers there. My companions had the tacos and said that they were good. I had the roast beef sandwich and it was flavorless. Between the ambiance and food, I don't plan to return. read more

So much better than hamburger Mary's ever was. Love the new management!! Food is great, service is great, drinks an awesome.

I went today to support the business. Our Florida weather is having cool front right now. I did patronize the business but it was completely unbearable. I was freezing. I got up to go the the restroom and the thermostat said 61 degrees. It was miserable cold. Food was mediocre since I only had a salad. Drinks were good but I could not stay long from it being so cold and the cold air was blasting read more

Wanted to really like this place but...it wasn't good. The server was super nice but we think his first night. The evening was riddled with poor service - primarily from the kitchen, All the orders were cold, slow and many items they didn't have. The "reason" from the server - we are just new and everything hasn't arrived yet...plus the cook is new. Like I said, I want this place to do well (no pun) and I have tried to call to speak to the manager but the telephone number does not work and they have not answered the 3 emails. Not looking to bash or complain...just want to offer some feedback. The drive can be cruel if the food and service is not top notch. read more

Wow! Food is SO much better than it was when this place was Hamburger Mary's!! Great drinks, great crowd, and the staff and management are super friendly too. read more

Great new establishment, recently opened, new food to try, all while still catching a great variety of drag shows every weekend

Don't bother making a reservation because they don't even have a host/host stand/any system whatsoever to honor your reservation. We arrived at our reservation time and they had no tables or bar space to seat us. Very disappointing. read more

Manny is amazing... best quesasilla and service on the drive! Happy we walked in and gave it a chance
