My go to bar, tucked away in the second floor of a restaurant. You walk up to a big door and punch in the code that's given on their website (it's unlocked at times to be able to walk right in). Once upstairs, the ambiance is unmatched. It's classy, but not too over the top. You can dress casual, I usually wear a collared shirt and jeans. There's dim lighting, but the music is always upbeat and fun. The wall of liquor behind the bar stretches up high like a wall of books in a library while the surrounding sofas give off a bit of a gothic vibe. It feels gritty in the best way. If you're looking for a low-key vibe, with great music and delicious cocktails, this is your place. read more

It's definitely a hidden gem in Flagler village area. Located on the upstairs of the Brass Tap, it's hidden well. You go through a hidden door and up the stairs into a quiet, intimate atmosphere. They have great drinks and a really nice atmosphere. The drinks are on the pricey side, around $16. The staff was pretty swamped, as it was a Saturday night, and didn't love that we ordered a drink that was not on the menu, Tito's and soda, they kind of gave us an attitude about it and rolled their eyes with the order. We were ordering 5 drinks, only one not off the menu, which wasn't even a challenging drink. Regardless, they made the other drinks off the menu pretty delicious. Get the spresotini, super strong and delicious. Come check this spot out if you want a quaint, intimate speakeasy with soft music and good drinks! read more

I cannot believe Unit B has been around for six years and I've never heard of it! I guess that's a good speakeasy for you. Although Brass Tap has sadly closed, Unit B remains open, and you can enter through the old Brass Tap in the Southern facing doors (facing Batch). Go up the stairs and you're transported into the 1920s. The interior is beautifully decorated and has great little seating options- cozy chairs, bar seating, or standard tables. The bar tenders were very friendly and helpful. I got an espresso drink and then a mocktail- I just shared what flavors I was feeling, and the bar tender made me up something delicious. Definitely a very cool hidden gem and I will absolutely go back. read more

I like it! A hidden speak easy style bar above brass taps in downtown fort lauderdale . There is plenty of seating and great ambiance. The bartenders specialize in mixing craft drinks and they have the largest variety of spirits I've ever scene behind the bar. Great place to wind down, chill out, or just catch up with friends over well made cocktails. read more

Music delightful, wait staff wonderful, food not so great I had an over done steak. They took it and brought it back (yes, the same steak) cook even more done. Then when I said it still wasn't pink inside they took it and I had to eat every ones french fries for dinner. They didn't even offer me anything else. Next time, maybe Ill try the pizza? read more

You'll definitely miss the entrance to this speakeasy. They have a code, but be sure to ask someone that works there for it. The ambiance is Intimate and dark. It is very ascetically pleasing with its old school haunted mansion theme. Lauren, the bartender was such a sweet soul! She talked to us and made a yummy Manhattan for me! There isn't any food upstairs. You can get that downstairs. read more

Intimate and Sultry vibes. Perfect to start or end the night - especially for a date. Unit B speakeasy sits above Brass Tap (access through brass tap). On my visit, the door was inconspicuous but not locked nor needed a code, just go up the stairs. We ordered cocktails to start off the night around 9:15pm. It was not very busy. They provide some sofa sets, a couple of small tables and bar seatings. I'd recommend the "White Linen" cocktail, very refreshing. read more

A kind if Speakeasy place in Fort Lauderdale with a very lounge-y atmosphere, darkish, relaxing and good chilling music. I am saying "a kind of" because to be a speakeasy it's very easy to find, pretty much everybody knows where it is and often no code is needed, because they open the door for you. Cocktails are pretty good, well done, around $ 15, which is not outrageous in South Florida and actually is the kind of price you can find in any bar. They have sofas, small tables, it's the kind of place you go when you need to relax and don't look for big and loud crowd. I'll stop again if in the area, it's a nice place, different than your regular overcrowded bar and sometimes that's what one needs. read more

I'm so happy I discovered Unit B on Yelp because I never would have known about it otherwise...which is the point, I guess! It's tucked away above the Brass Tap, and you need to enter a code from their website to unlock the door. Once upstairs, it's a dimly-lit speakeasy style bar. I absolutely love the bookshelves filled with liquor bottles and the plush leather chairs. I only tried one cocktail, the name of which is escaping me, but it was made with a mix of bourbon, passion fruit, coconut, and some other delicious ingredients that I'm forgetting. Very good! I will most certainly be back here to try out their other cocktails! This is a great spot for a date night or even for a chill girls-night. read more

I loved this place! I have always liked the "speakeasy ambiences" so when my husband find out about this one, he took me there as surprise - and... made me find it by giving me very few clues! Of course, being a speakeasy, the place is hidden: to access it you have to go into another bar, find the stairs that lead to the speakeasy, and have the right password to open the door. The entire search was fun! We came here late on a Sunday, and there were only two tables free. Both the stairs (covered in red carpet) and the small room were very dark, but this particular was just a nice/proper addition to the ambiance. The place is nicely decorated and also thanks to their lounge music in the background, it feels very warm, cozy and it's very relaxing. Their bartender was very friendly and he can surely make great strong cocktails! I would say their prices are pretty much average for South Florida. I look forward to be back! read more

Unit B is our "treat yourself" bar we go to when we want to have a fun night out with good drinks in a cool atmosphere. Everyone loves a speakeasy! To find this place, enter Brass Tap from the patio, and you'll find the secret unlabeled door (picture included) which leads to a staircase up to the bar. There's a keypad to the left where you have to enter the passcode to open the door. The passcode changes regularly, and you can always find it on their website. The place is chill and dark with a cool atmosphere and great drinks and a great variety behind the bar. We love coming here. Cons: it's tiny and has been growing in popularity, so finding a place to sit is borderline impossible. Also (at the risk of me sounding old), the music is too loud to have a conversation at all, which is weird for a place where the setup is more for conversation (it's not a dancing type place). Finally, they used to have a seasonal menu that rotated frequently, but when we went last night (it's March), it was still the fall menu. Maybe they're just not changing it anymore? Overall, great place. None of these cons are a huge deal at all, and I would HIGHLY recommend checking it out. We'll definitely be back. read more

Ok so I love this place. It's a cool speak-easy vibe, dark sexy interior, a bookshelf of liquors, and delicious special cocktails that are made right in front of you. I wish they had more seating...but it is a tight space. I will say...the cocktails are a bit pricey. Also, I was quoted 16 for a drink I asked for and was charged $20, which I thought was kind of shady. It only happened once, so I'll give them a break, but worth mentioning. Come early if you want a seat and don't want to fight for a spot at the bar! read more

Love the prohibition era vibes in here! If you are a whiskey/scotch drinker this is definitely the spot for you! The bartenders are top tier and really know how to craft a cocktail! There is no food served so be sure to eat before hand! read more

Unit B - Speakeasies Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Uhmmm I guess since there's barely speakeasy place in Fort Lauderdale, leading to bartender being snobbish. Not cleaning dirty bar tables, not looking at guests when they ask questions. Hello, wake up, speakeasy is everywhere in the world. Drinks are not bad. Thursday evening around 1030pm was nearly empty. Headed to Sparrow after which have much better energy and drinks. read more

A solid speakeasy in Ft. Lauderdale. I'm a little spoiled with NYC and DC-area speakeasies, so this was a little underwhelming (no password/fun way to enter, etc.), but still a solid cocktail bar. Lots of sections of intimate seating areas, but we elected to sit at the bar because that was the only way to get service. The bartender apologized for the wait - they were wicked busy for a weeknight and had a call-out - but I get it (service industry life). Martinis were well made and balanced. read more

OVERALL: The vibes are immaculate. So cool and you really feel like you stumbled upon a secret. ATMOSPHERE: Of COURSE I have to start with the atmosphere. I am such a fan of speakeasies and just the general concept of them. I am continually looking to be 'wow'd. You enter through a bar and there you'll find a door with a key pad where you need to enter a code to unlock said door. This code can be found on their website! You ascend upstairs through a tall staircase that is lit in red lights so it really sets the mood. There's a photograph and the top of the staircase that really puts you in the speakeasy mood. The whole place, I continually described as intimate and personable. The seats were comfy and it didn't have a ton of seating, but it didn't need it! It really felt like a well-known secret with the amount of people in there. SERVICE: Wow. Wow. Wow. I was blown away on how kind the service was. I asked for a dealers choice and was given a drink TAILORED to my taste buds. We refined on the second drink until it was nailed. So impressed. DRINKS: The old fashion was a classic and even better because they smoke it! My dealers choice drinks were so good and like I said, tailored to my taste buds (I like it sweet!) PRICE: As with most atmosphere forward places, the prices are a bit high. For the high end old fashion, it was $20. The rest were $15. read more

Super chic and super unexpected! Located above the Brass Tap right off of US1/Federal Hwy in Flagler Village Unit B offers a dark, mysterious vibe with expertly, and I mean EXPERT level, crafted cocktails. A true speakeasy. Head to their website to get the code for their door. Enter your info and a personal code will be given to you. Once you enter brass tap you will have to find the door to enter and head upstairs. Drinks are expensive. Approximately $15+ each for one of their crafted cocktails. We enjoyed watching the bartenders make our cocktails. They were strong and delicious. They are only open Thursday - Saturday from 6pm to 2am. Also open Wednesday from 8pm - 2am. They do offer a cheese / olive board but no formal dining here. I would definitely recommend for the perfect place to kick off or end your evening. PArking is horrific in this area. Park in the garage at the manor but only for 4 hours max. You can park on the street if you're lucky to find a spot but that is 3 hours max. For long term parking, park across the street in the garage over Spatch/Good Spirits or just take an Uber or scooter. Cheers! read more

Unit B - Cocktails - Speakeasies Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Secret doors, secret codes, dim lights and fully stocked classic looking bar. These are some of the things that come to mind when I think of a real speakeasy bar, and we finally have one in Fort Lauderdale. Sure, there are some bars categorized as speakeasy in the area, they do have the dim lights, dark furniture, prohibition era type of décor, but these are all (at least the ones I've been to) their own establishment, not really a hidden place or secret door to get in. No codes, no "mystery". The ones I've been in other states, they make you go into a hot dog shop and call on a tiny phone booth to get in, or go through a taco place enter the kitchen and behind the curtain there's the bar... Finding Unit B was this much fun. The door to it is somewhat hidden, you need a code, and they require certain dress code (especially during busy hours). As soon as you cross that door, there's a dare reddish color light, and the stairs to guide you up to the bar. Once there, you are transported to a different time and place. Leather couches, mirrors, chandeliers, and that beautiful classic bar, filled to the top. Mixologists are well dressed in white/ black/ gray colors, and ready to make any drink you desire. They have a menu of signature drinks, scotch and whiskeys, and of course all other spirits and liqueurs you can think of. Not in the mood for what's on the menu? Tell them what you usually like, they'll be happy to create or mix something based on your taste, and they will make it delicious and lovely presentation. My mixologist for the night was Mehdi and I could not have been happier with every drink he made for me. I wanted a rum based drink, not sweet, not too strong. Told him I liked sour and tart, fizzy drinks. He listened carefully, and came up with two different drinks for me that night that were outstanding, and a match to what I had requested. As my third drink, I ordered a regular mojito, no simple syrup and extra fizzy... for the first time I did not get the usual "no simple syrup, it will be too tart", instead I got "I am the same way, I'll add some bitters to make it even better". In all honesty, this is the best mojito I've had! While we were seated, talking, drinking, taking pictures, the staff would come around and clean out the empty glasses and asked if we needed anything else. We were able to order at the bar or from the comfort of our seats. I can't wait to go back, hopefully on a night they have live music (I think they do), and enjoy more of their concoctions, and excellent service. read more

Went at 11pm on a friday. Empty with bad music.. area was dead.. not worth the time spend looking for parking :(

Thanks to the New Times I read about this new speakeasy that opened up right across from where we live and I won't lie - I was intrigued. It's not every day you need a door code to get into a secret bar location, but that's exactly what you will need to open the door to Unit B. First, you'll need to go into the Brass Tap and to your right will be a door with a keypad to the left. To get the code you'll want to go to their site viewunitb.com because it changes each night they are open. Some things to keep in mind - while the dress code does say "dress to impress" we arrived not dressed up but were still allowed in, though I definitely noticed the bouncer give my flat sandals a once over. We arrived around 7:30pm so not exactly peak hours but maybe the dress code is enforced more strictly later on. Ladies, there's quite a bit of stairs and to be honest after a few drinks you'll definitely need to hang onto the rails as you leave since it's a steep decline as you leave. Onto the inside: It's dark but not as dark as some other speakeasies I've been to. There are dimly lit chandeliers and candles, although the menu was printed on a dark flyer which made it difficult to read. For seating, there are arm chairs and love seats spread across the floor. I do appreciate that it's limited to how many people can enter at a given time because it is a small space. While I sat waiting for my husband to come back with our drinks a guitar player set up and began playing a mix of flamenco and pop classics and it was a nice touch. As for the drinks, we both ordered the Paz y Estrella which was a tequila beverage. It was savory and smoky (my favorite type of drink). Prices are not printed on the menu but they are in the $15 range. Overall we enjoyed checking this new place out. If you are a fan of craft cocktails or places like Apothecary 330 but are interested in a more intimate setting then chances are you will enjoy Unit B. read more

Fantastic atmosphere! I enjoy a good speakeasy and Unit B didn't disappoint. What really made my experience was the atmosphere. The hidden entrance provided a fun sense of exclusivity and privacy. It was maintained by the fact that the Brass Tap employees feigned ignorance when asked about Unit B (it made the payoff for finding the entrance that much better). My first drink was an old fashioned. It was great! It even came with the type of artisanal transparent ice. Later, the bartender made my friend a peanut butter and jelly old fashioned. It blew our minds because it tasted exactly like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich in the form of a smooth drink. The drink was slightly pink but it was still transparent and lacked the grittiness I would have expected from muddling PB&J ingredients into a drink. We each had to get several of our own! read more

Hidden Gem While the menu was small (winter cocktails). The bartenders were so talented they created off menu items on BOTH NIGHTS. (We totally went twice) our fave was 21st Amendment The decor was simple but very dimly lite with very comfy seats. Doesn't have many areas that can be used for pics with friends. I'd say it's a great intimate spot where you sit close and speak low. read more

I've never been to a speakeasy (secret) bar before, so this was a surprise. First, you have to know where the secret door is and once you find it you have to know the code to open it. As I walked up the long stairs, I noticed it was dark, but inviting. Once you reach the top you see that it's cozy and the music is just perfect. The bar is huge and they have a large bourbon selection. Everyone there was respectful and seemed to be enjoying themselves. I initially couldn't find a table, but once one became available, we sat down. It's fend for yourself here folks. We stayed awhile, enjoyed the drinks, and had a good time. read more

Went here for a nightcap with my girlfriend. Nice space os the 1 star. Otherwise it woildve been a zero. Why, you ask? "We'd like a Bullitt old fashioned and and Arnold Palmer (lemonade and tea) with Titos vodka please?" (Sorry, we font ja e Bullitt, titos, lemonade or tea) "Ok, how about a gey goose chocolate martini with godiva chocolate liquor and a Grey goose with ginger ale and a splash of cranberry?" (Sorry, all we have for that order is the Grey Goose- no ginger ale, no cranberry, no godiva chocolate liqueur) So we left. Fyi...the place had 19 patrons, uet it took 1 of the 2 bartenders aboit 8 minutes to even greet us after we sat down. And the brass tap downstairs had 4 customers. 9:30 pm On a Saturday night with the surrounding establishments VERY busy. Now i know why. And so do you. I look forward to whomever replaces these two spots when they close their doors in the next 6 months. And please, don't try and use covid as an excuse for being a poor excuse for a basic bar. Fix the problems instead. read more

I DARE YOU TO COME HERE!!! Now here is a place I never thought could be found in Ft. Lauderdale or ANY other areas of South Florida. What a great new addition. From the Prohibition Era of secret Speakeasy Bars, comes along Unit B!!! I really hesitate to give this secret away for the fear of Unit B becoming too popular where it would be hard to get a seat and relax like we did this evening. Located upstairs from the Brass Tap, on US1, high up a flight of stairs, you must get past the bouncer, have a secret code to dial in that you can only get from the their website the DAY OF your visit, as it changes every day and the secret doors to the Speakeasy will open. Walk up a big flight of stairs to a lush, sexy, low lit "living room" atmosphere where "no man has gone before". Dressier attire, lIeather couches, wood tables and walls of brick is an invitation to a romantic evening of lounging with your partner or friends or both. Great artwork on the walls, some full of color. Once I got there, it was very hard to think of leaving as I was really chilled out, just what I needed. The bar in the back was full of secret ingredients and fruits for us to see and I knew then that the secret recipes of Unit B were going to be fruitful, diverse and refreshing. I was right. What a simple drink menu with complicated recipes for us to enjoy something different. It was hard for me to decide as I read the detailed ingredients of each of he drinks, but opted for the Paz Y Estrellas (oh I've heard of that), Tequila based drink..OUTSTANDING. There were names of recipes like "Better Than Sliced Bread", which my wife had, 21st Amendment, a Rum Hibiscus beautiful drink and others. The ingredients and garnishes were like no place around I've been to because that is what they do. The friends we were with were able to change some of the recipes and custom make some of the drinks with their own ingredients as well with the servers. We sat on two leather couches across from each other with a table in between and sipped a couple of different drinks. So relaxing with great conversation. We did go early, 6:30, and there were other parties already there sipping on drinks, but was not crowded or loud. Later at night there is live music, and would love to come back to see how that goes, but for now, this was a really good start to a Friday night. So I DARE anyone to come here. I need this place to myself and friends. If you do not care, then come join us as well. Chill out. read more

Finally, an actual hidden door, dress code, classy drinks speakeasy in South Florida! I was surprised it took this long. I have been to a few in other states and there is even a couple in Orlando but never here. It was worth the wait though. I heard through the grapevine about this place opening up and and I told a few friends right away. We went through the procedure on line to get our entry code and we were set! Once slipping through the hidden wall and up the stairs we were greeted by a lounge club that was all kinds of cool. The covered up windows felt like a speakeasy along with the brickwork and time period right furniture. we went through a few of the drinks on the menu, and a few that were not. The 21st amendment was darn good. along with the Aqua Fava which wasn't on the menu but I asked for a whiskey drink that wasn't sweet. In fact that's a great way to order, just describe what you are wanting. They will have a drink for it. and if you want it straight? They have a list of whiskys and scotches and bourbons that's as good as any. So hey, want a speakeasy in South Florida? We got one, and its pretty awesome too. read more

Nice little hidden spot with amazing drinks. Highly recommended as an after work spot or date night. We enjoyed it

Fort Lauderdale has the new speakeasy it's dark, sexy with a cool vibe. Located upstairs in The Brass Tap a beer bar which is so unsuspected. You will need a code to punch in on a key pad. You get the code online. There's a doorman/ bouncer at the entrance who seats there very mysterious looking. You walk up a long staircase to a small area with a bar with leather couches and chairs. Very comfortable and inviting. I ordered one of their specialty drinks called Better Than White Bread it was tasty but much stronger tasting then I accepted. The bartender came me some water, I needed it. We came with some friends and they ordered other specialty drinks that were all good since they ordered a few. I can see this place to be a before dinner or after dinner spot for cocktails and specialty drinks. Parking is little difficult it's either on the street or in a parking structure with limited space. They have a dress code although I did see some people very casual dressed, probably because it was still pretty early in the evening. They don't serve any food although you can always a grab a bite downstairs. The bartenders are friendly and know their drinks! Walking down the stairs is no joke be careful! read more

Unit B - Speakeasies Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Unit B has certainly decided that pretentious service at its' worst is the way to go. Granted the younger-ish crowd doesn't really get the difference... Speakeasy's are meant to be the top of craft cocktails and bespoke service. Unit B needs to recapture that in it's service staff. On the cocktail side, super variety of bourbons and eyes... Would have liked to explore.them if it wasn't for the service being so standoffish... Cheers! read more
