I’d make the walk up A1A and stop at all the different restaurants and bars. Bos Beach is a nice hangout spot with a good view. Elbo Room, Blondies, Hooters, S3. I’d stay away from most of the restaurants attached to the hotels. Most are way overpriced. Plenty to choose from. Lona at the Westin resort is good, not overly priced either. Mexican.

Make a day for the water taxi. Has about 10 different stops at restaurants/bars along the intracoastal. There’s a pick up spot at Bahia Mar.

I’d look at the Daer Club at Hard Rock as well, it’s kind of douchey but there’s phenomenal arse and tits everywhere, get a cabana.

Las Olas has a bunch of restaurants and bars that are all walkable once you’re there. Only about a 5 minute drive. Get a golf cart shuttle to take you.

Doc B’s has some really good food. All made fresh daily. Not too pricey either. It’s in the downtown area of Fort Laudy

Kaluz is a nice, fancier type of restaurant about 15 minutes north. Could go to Lauderdale By the Sea after and walk around that area as well.

Fat Boyz BBQ has some of the best restaurant bbq I've ever had. It was a small hole in the wall, the AC was broken, and the drink machine did not work... but damnnnn the food was awesome.

Fat Boyz

Spend a morning or afternoon wandering up and down Las Olas Blvd. Good shopping and eats. I love grabbing a bite Gran Forno; fantastic Italian bakery.

Head over to Point of America beach and watch the cruise ships head out mid to late afternoon.

Not too far from you in Pompano Beach is the Pompano Beach House and Oceanic. Both are right in the ocean are very good. Right next them is the Luck Fish tiki bar, which is right on the beach.

Pirate Republic: good seafood and on the intracoastal

Tom Jenkins BBQ. Shuck-n-dive if you want a taste of home (cajun).

Le Tub in Hollywood is a great burger, is right on the intracoastal, has an interesting decor, and is a good place for a couple of drinks. Also right across the street from Margaritaville Resort if that interests you.

Shooters waterfront is a good place as well.

Orchestrated Minds Brewery

Anthony's Coal Fired pizza and try the original oven roasted chicken wings.

Southport Raw Bar - hole in the wall off of Cordova. Great place.

15th St Fishery - mentioned above. Traditional place just down from Southport.

Coconuts - fun outdoor bar with great oysters and seafood on the bay side.

Takato Sushi - In the Conrad. Great food.

Casblanca Cafe - great atmosphere and really good food. Have a piano
downstairs. We always have a good time there.

Steak 954 in the W - good steak and seafood.

Stone crab season doesn't open until 10/15 if you were planning to go to Joe's in South Beach.

He nailed it. Elbo is a cash only bar, it’s been established since 1938 and is a landmark in Ft. Lauderdale. Think of a dive bar. Another heads up. They live stream there. Very funny to watch
