A tour we think you'll love
Let’s take a look at the top seven ways to have fun at night when you are visiting Fort Lauderdale.
1) Fort Lauderdale Bar Crawl
A bar crawl is an exciting experience whether you are on vacation or just want that vacation feeling, and Ft. Lauderdale has some of the best bars in Florida!
Start your evening of shenanigans at the Bamboo Tiki Bar on the beach with a tropical drink and a casual dinner. From there, it’s a short 15-minute walk to the Blue Jean Blues club to party with some fantastic music.
Next, it’s a little over a mile to the Kelley Brothers Irish Pub, so you may want to take a cab. The Kelley Brothers Pub offers a lively atmosphere with Guinness on tap, craft beers, cocktails, and live music on select nights. Check the online event calendar for poker nights, too.
You’ll need to hop back in a cab to get to your next fun bar. The Park and Ocean Gastropub in Fort Lauderdale’s Birch State Park is just a 10-minute drive south of the Kelley Brothers Irish Pub. The menu here is Caribbean and Southern influenced, plus they offer craft beer from their in-house brewery. Live bands are on tap on Saturdays and Sundays.
