Restaurants and clubs in Fort Lauderdale
 

My daughter and her husband are going down next month to stay for a few days in Fort Lauderdale. She was asking me what are some good spots on the water to check out . Thanks in advance , Frank

not that much.....you have Shooters but that's already old and boring....river front is pretty nice

MIKE

What about La Playa (spelling?) on the weekends??

sunday hot body contest!

La Playa is on Sundays all the other hot spots are on Los Olas and you have everything from a bottle service club to some really good bars.

At Shooters.

there's a lot of new places to eat and clubs on Fort Lauderdale beach.

If they want to have fun on the water the best pleaces are either the sand bar in Key biscayn or elliot key during the day....SHOOTERS suck it's not what it was 4-5 yrs ago or even longer and you guys know what i'm talking about...it's the same girls every signle wekend....

Donz if it's their first time down, they won't know any better:drink:

And if it is their first time down, watch the GPS, channel markers, and cruise ships.

ARBA at the end of comm blvd

River Front was going off this weekend on the North side of the River

Maybe have them cruise thru these sites and see what they might favor also :

Doesn't your best friend own Shooters?

For Excellent food I would suggest China Grill by the SE17th St. Causeway...

Johnny V's on Las Olas for dinner is always good. Himmarshee is great as is the Culinary insitute. too many to list. Southport Raw bar has great bar food as well. As far as going out at night, check out the W hotel, Riverfront, America's backyard, and YOLO.

:evilb:Boy I loved it back in 85 =shooters/candy store/ penrods? I think was a place with wet tees across from the beach. I think that was the last year you could get a drink and cross the street. after that they had the NJ barriers up and you could not leave a joint with your drinks. are any of those places still there oh another was confetti'es [sp] I THINK IT WAS ON A SIDE ROAD TO THE STRIP, they had dancing at night. that was my late spring break, I was there in a one room motel room with a king and couch with my sis and her 4 girlfriends it was a last mintue thing. I was 27 they were 21 to 25. I had a good time, safed a few from getting raped by some punks that did not know we were all togethere one night at shooters they had there daddys grady white ask a couple of the girls to go for a ride. girls went to the bathroom, I heard guys talking trash about how they were going to make them put out or swim back. So and a few guys I meet during the week put the fair into god into the punks infront of the girls hahaha. it was fun down there for sure back then four of us trying to sleep in one bed while two split the couch.:evilb:boy I miss the candy store and the red & white stripe bathing suit.:hitit::evilb:

I keep looking on ebay for the Bootlegers jacket that they sold back in the early 90's with the Cig boat on the back, what a place that was, hard enough to get a spot in the pool, never mind the rafted up boats as far as the intra coastal is wide.

Cafe Moderano on Oakland is the best.

YoLo on Las Olas is the new hot spot. Forget the places on the water and go to the hot spots.

yes he does

I am with you on that, I miss those old days. I was attending University of Maryland from 1983 to 1986 (I transferred after that). Springbreak was Ft. Lauderdale.

A sorority girl I used to date dropped out of college, and was working down there during those years at the Candy Store (and dancing). Elbow room, happy hours at Biltmore, Jersey barriers, it was some memorable times other than the black-out drunk times. You took me back there with your post, thank you.

Haven't been down there in a few years but Beach Place, Max's at the Riverfront, Shooters were all good.

Ditto......or head a little south to the Diplomat Hotel...... Nicki Marina is on the Intercoastal side........real nice waterfront atmosphere......

I always liked the Elbo Room. They have web cams, so you can call up your friends at work, and they get to watch you drink beer and have fun. http://www.elboroom.com

Billy's Stone Crab Restaurant. Best frickin food I've had in years!
They are in Hollywood. 400 N. Ocean Dr.
Get the Salmon done Key West style & a bottle of wine.

If on the water, Houston's in Pompano, next to the Atlantic Blvd. Intracoastal bridge. Still my old standby for good food/drinks...

cool glad to hear that, I think I had the 1st baseball helmut with the drink holders on each side it with out any shut offs, and when I came back to mass they did not sell them here until 88 or so but they then had a shut off. and in 85 there was no barriers that year they started in 86 I think:eek::evilb:

Anything downtown is good for the young crowd. The beach front is awsome, bars are fun...Blondes and The Elbow Room are my favorites. Bimany Boat House, Le Tub, and the Rustic Inn are the only places to eat.

Nicki Marina closed down\

The Cove on Friday nights is a cant miss.

No shiat!

This is on the Mut last year on a Friday night...

did not know that..........

Las Palmas on the ICW in Hollywood good view, latin food and music and Bahia Cabana is always a must and favorite and you can walk to The Elbow Roon and other spots on the beach. Also enjoy the bar/cafe above the fuel docks at Pier 66 for drinks and a snack.
