I visit Florida at least once a year if not more to go visit a dear friend. This is a list of all the excellent finds we've come across from nature trails, to restaurants, to video game bars.
Map
If you're into video games and enjoy drinks you have to peep this spot! Solid drinks, all different gaming consoles and karaoke. I have never seen it packed which is perfect in my opinion!
Tenth Level Tavern
If you're looking for more of a brewery vibe, this is steps away from 10th level tavern. Nice atmosphere. Great beer!
Funky Buddha Brewery
If wine is more your speed, this cozy little wine bar is a must-see. Delicious wine with lots of variety and a good selection of small plates.
Rebel Wine Bar
If you enjoy a speakeasy vibe and don't mind paying a little bit more, this is a very cool place. You must book a reservation to go as they only hold 10 people at a time. The cocktails and food were both amazing and the bartender was extremely friend...
Rm. 901
If you're a book nerd like me, you have to check out old Florida bookshop. It's a very cozy vibe with lots of interesting used books to find and explore
Old Florida Book Shop
Going to the beach when you're in Fort Lauderdale is a no-brainer. The beach is clean and very long parking can get a little crazy but if you go early there should be plenty of space and the price is very affordable.
Fort Lauderdale Beach
Another recommendation for those reading fans. Specifically, this is an excellent shop if you are into romance novels. All variations on romance from fantasy romance to historical romance. You can find it. And it's very cozy. Vibes with some cool mer...
Steamy Lit - Literary Collective
If you're looking for a quick, easy breakfast or brunch, check this place out. They also have delicious drinks.
Bulegreen Cafe Yard
I went here on my last trip and absolutely loved it. Their iced coffee is the best and they use frozen coffee as their ice cubes. No watering down your drink.
The Alchemist Café
If you're willing to take a drive north peanut Island is worth the trip! Beautiful clear water, can be kayaked to!
Parks & Recreation - Peanut-Island
Super bright and cute breakfast and brunch place. Their sweet drinks and meals are execellent if you have a sweet tooth. Try the cinnamon toast crunch french toast.
Hatch
This one is on my list for my next trip. Small plates and delicious drinks highly recommended by my friends.
The Wilder
Solid sushi in the Wilton Manors neighborhood.
Tee Jay Thai Sushi
Excellent tacos and pretty good drinks for reasonable prices. Fun atmosphere too!
Tulio's Tacos & Tequila Bar
A must for those that like art galleries, shopping and food. Lots of interesting galleries that always have something new and a great place to find gifts.
Las Olas Boulevard
This one is outside of Fort Lauderdale, but if you like sushi, ramen, bubble tea and cocktails check it out. For those that like Asian cuisine and can't decide what they want this place is perfect. An upscale food court style.
Baoshi Food Hall + Bar
If you make it down to Hollywood this place is delicious! Fun food, great atmosphere and good drinks!
