BlueHerons Posted January 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2015 I have no idea how they came up with these but I'd agree with most. http://www.sterlingteetor.com/blog/fort-lauderdales-10-best-local-bars-restaurants/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted January 14, 2015 #2 Share Posted January 14, 2015 It's an interesting list, isn't it? I've been to all of them except for Rendezvous. I like them each for different reasons, except for Ernie's...I've been there twice and just don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ernies is a little dirty or something for me. I never thought of Southport as strictly locals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brunello22 Posted January 14, 2015 #4 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Yes! I had never heard of Rendevous until I saw that list. Ernies is a little dirty or something for me. I never thought of Southport as strictly locals. I have been to Rendezvous a few times, when the Duffy electric boat rental was still in business. It's a decent bar, with bar food, but nothing special. Definitely locals and yachties go there as it is very hidden. I only like the Bimini Bread at Ernie's, but the rest of the menu is just meh. They should have noted Riverside Market, a great little find in the Tarpon River neighborhood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HRPro Posted January 15, 2015 #5 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Would appreciate a recommendation for restaurants near Embassy Suites at 17th Street. We will be staying one night pre-cruise and want to have dinner with members of our roll call. What are the best options for a good dinner and glass of wine or two?

Two years ago when we were in FLL prior to a cruise we ate at Coconuts. It was excellent and I would recommend it. I do believe we will be going back there again this April Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be staying one night pre-cruise and want to have dinner with members of our roll call. What are the best options for a good dinner and glass of wine or two? Bravo is a good place for a roll call meet up...it's walking distance to Embassy Suites, a non-chain place, the food is decent and there are lots of options within most people's budget...oh, and lots of wines by the glass. It's not the BEST place in Ft. Lauderdale, but you can't go too upscale with a roll call, and it's in your neighborhood.:) Edited January 18, 2015 by royalcruz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare JamesEM Posted January 19, 2015 #9 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I stayed at the Embassy Suites this past Nov and would recommend either Duffy's or the Southport Raw Bar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
royalcruz Posted January 19, 2015 #10 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I stayed at the Embassy Suites this past Nov and would recommend either Duffy's or the Southport Raw Bar. Duffy's has mostly booths. It's a sports bar. I think they have one table for large parties, so be sure to call and make arrangements ahead of time. They have happy hour all day and night so double wine pours. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
