Pour Decisions Start Here
This is where harmless happy hour quietly turns into a full-blown situation. Strong pours, loose plans, loud laughs, bad ideas dressed up as great ones, and at least one person insisting they are totally fine when they are very clearly not. If you wake up with a foggy camera roll, a mystery charge, and a text you should not have sent, just know the bars in this section did their job beautifully.

Spicy Entertainment
(Turn Up the Heat. Then Blame Us Later.)
This is where the Florida you have heard about in the news and read about in the headlines starts clocking in for the night. Sexy people? Yes. A few suspiciously manufactured body parts? Absolutely. An unexpected chance to practice your Spanish? Very possible. More emergency trips to the ATM than any financial professional would ever recommend? Without question. And a very real chance your wife or husband later asks why there are so many dollar bills in your pocket? Consider that part of the experience. Come for the spectacle, stay for the chaos, tip like you were raised properly, and do not insult anyone by pretending you came for the lighting.
Scarlett’s Cabaret Miami
Scarlett’s does not do small, quiet, or tasteful restraint. This place is pure South Florida excess in the best possible way. Huge space, booming sound, nonstop energy, five bars, five seating areas, endless TVs, and the famous 100 Girl Parade every hour on the hour. It is loud, wild, and built for people who did not come out to have an early night. And somehow, even the food holds its own.
Tootsie’s Cabaret Miami
Tootsie’s is the largest strip club in the world featuring over 300 sexy full nude entertainers daily!
LaBare
Turn up the heat!! High end male revue strip club with male strippers for women.
Aquaplex Fort Lauderdale Show Palace, Restaurant & Bar
Fort Lauderdale’s ultimate drag palace. Enjoy the glitz, the glam and the ladies! Check the website for specific times and prices.
Come Thirsty. Leave Suspicious.
For the kind of nights where one drink becomes four, strangers become besties, and your bank account starts asking questions. These are the bars made for strong pours, bad ideas, oversharing, and the kind of suspiciously fun energy that usually ends with late-night food and a promise to never do this again. Until next time, obviously.
Palm Room
If you love loud places with young 20 somethings and don’t mind being packed in like a sardine, this is the place for you!! Holla if you hear me!!!! DISCLAIMER: You must overuse the words “like” and “literally” in order to buy a drink and hangout at Palm Room. BUYER BEWARE!
American Social – Bar & Kitchen – Fort Lauderdale
She loves me….she loves me not! Looking for a sexy hook-up or your one true love? Well, it could all happen here at American Social!! Hang with the bros by the bar or make it a fun ladies night (OMG…I’m obsessed with your heels!!). If you can hear people speak over the loud music and have a meaningful conversation, you’re already a winner!!
Voodoo Bayou
Voodoo Bayou has live music, sexy drinks, and a fake New Orleans vibe that is trying very hard to distract you from the fact that this is still very much South Florida. The menu throws together a little Cajun, a little Creole, and a little confusion, so on paper this place is a big maybe. But nights are not won on paper. Add a buzz, a few sloppy decisions, and someone charming enough to make your better judgment take the evening off, and suddenly it is a whole lot more fun. Exactly the kind of place your mother would hate on sight.
