Victoria Park • $$
Dim the lights, light the candles: this Roaring Twenties-style speakeasy hides in a Federal Highway plaza, pouring theatrical cocktails like the Marshmallow Old Fashioned and smoky Sotol oyster shooters.
South Fort Lauderdale • $$
Empire Social is where you slow down with a hand-picked cigar and a proper drink. The tobacconist knows your palate better than you do, and the refined, relaxed atmosphere makes it feel like your own private club.
South Fort Lauderdale
Sweetwaters opened its doors on East Las Olas Boulevard in Fort Lauderdale, bringing a diverse menu ranging from stone crabs and fresh hamachi nigiri to whole grilled branzino flown in from Greece.
Central Beach Alliance • $$
Casa Playa serves knockout Peruvian ceviche and a dangerously good Gavarita margarita just steps from the sand. Come for the beach breeze and stay for the monthly Latin night dancing.
Cruisin' Tikis Fort Lauderdale · Central Beach Alliance
Watch the sun dip behind the downtown skyline from the deck of a floating tiki bar. This nightly cruise glides past luxury yachts and waterfront mansions for a memorable evening on the water.
South Fort Lauderdale • $45-$75
Embarcadero 41 serves Peruvian-Japanese fusion that actually works: think Tuna Nikkei, Acevichado rolls, and passionfruit Pisco Sours in a sleek, upscale room. The happy hour is one of downtown's best kept secrets for quality and value.

I go through what's actually on nearby and keep only the ones worth the trip. Nobody pays to be on this list.
Finished events drop off the list. Check the listing for times and booking details before heading out.
Tell me when you’re free, where you’ll be, and what sounds appealing. “Live music near me, somewhere I can sit, under $30” gives me more to work with than “something fun.” You can keep narrowing it down with me.
You can browse these pages without an account. Sign in to save activities and help me learn your taste, so future suggestions have a better starting point.
Outgoing is free to use. Events have their own admission prices, including some that are free. Check the listing for prices and booking details before making plans.
