Hospitable Ft. Lauderdale
As out of towners, we were seeking info. to enhance our vacation experience. The crew and patrons @ the "Pub" made us feel like part of the family. We returned nightly to share stories of our days adventures and gather more knowledge of the area.
New and Improved
Shannon (formerly of Cubby Hole) and his partner Anthony are the new owners of this bar and the neighboring Island City Pizza. They have done a fantastic job. They know what a neighborhood bar should be like and have succeeded in making this a truly comfortable and welcoming place for locals and visitors alike. The pizza next door is EXCELLENT and can be ordered in the bar.
Much better than Before
Now under new ownership, this neighborhood bar now draws a mixed mens crowd with better drink prices. The new owners and staff are very welcoming and I have already seen many changes and improvements made to the bar. Check it out if you are into neighborhood bars and meeting the locals.
TURN AROUND
Why can't this place keep a bartender? Every time I've walked in, there's a different guy/girl behind the bar - except one who barely speaks English and thinks he owns the place. Many staff have complained they can't get paid. Slow service because the register is WAY too advanced for this place. EXTREMELY OVERPRICED. Rarely have I seen it busy unless the bartender's "clique" is there, in which case you'll be ignored. Layered with alcoholics. If even one customer doesn't like you, it ripples to the bartender who treats you like crap, all supported by the owner who barely knows himself what's happening there. Complain and you'll be ignored and 86'd. TV is controlled by bartender who seemingly doesn't care what customers want to watch. ANOTHER DAMN CHER VIDEO? Crowd is usually old and bitchy. I would definitely turnaround and go somewhere else. On both sides of this bar are two others you will find more exciting comfortable.
The people who posted these reviews must own it!
I love a good neighborhood bar but with its overpriced watered down drinks, constant staff changes and hideous clientele you'll be pretty disappointed. There are any great hangouts in Wilton Manors but this one would win as last on the list.
Very Cute and Quaint
I went here for lunch once, it was very small but the owners were so nice! Very cute gay guys! :) I've only been there once but I always wanted to go back...
nice little bar
