Organic Brewery

Get drunk while doing some grade-A people-watching, or just contemplate the world’s vastness over a pint and a dramatic view of the ocean. Pull up a seat on the porch of Organic Brewery along Hollywood’s Broadwalk for both. Four great beers are brewed on-site, and they don’t carry the pretentious price tags often associated with […]

Padrino’s

One of the oldest Cuban restaurants in our area, family-owned Padrino

Passion Nightclub

It’s hard to miss the long, vertical, purple neon sign that reads Passion along the avenue at the adult-theme park Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Greeted by a faux red carpet, you’ll enter the multi-level nightclub that caters to a diverse clientele with a variety of music and cabaret shows. Stretched, glittery “chandeliers” dangle above […]

Pepper’s Chinese Restaurant and Lounge

Pepper’s is nicely decorated with dark wood and soft lighting, but it’s great for takeout too. Owner Jason Xiu offers a full menu of the dishes you know and love, plus a second menu featuring some of the best, most diverse regional Chinese cooking in the area, including authentically prepared Taiwanese and Szechwan.

Pho 78 Vietnamese Restaurant

It’s sooo much more than just “soup.” At this Pembroke Pines pho house, the Asian dish consisting of noodles, steamy broth, assorted meats, veggies, and fresh herbs takes you on a ritualistic trip through Vietnamese cuisine. Pho 78 takes its pho (pronounced fuh) so seriously, in fact, that it comes with instructions. Step one – […]

Pho Vi

Vietnamese cuisine has exploded on the contemporary food scene, thanks in large part to a filling and fun-to-eat dish called pho (typically pronounced fuh) – beef broth and noodle soup that’s considered the national dish of Vietnam. For years, Broward residents had to trek west to 441 to find good Vietnamese, so Pho Vi’s opening […]

Point Royal

Point Royal, which opened in February 2017, sits on the ground floor of the newly renovated Diplomat Beach Resort. The restaurant is billed as coastal American, the type of place you can stop by for a burger and beer or for some oysters and a glass of wine. Once the site of the hotel’s breakfast […]

PRL Euro Cafe

Amid the upscale restaurants and lounges in Hollywood’s downtown district is the tiny beer aficionado hangout, PRL Euro Cafe. Wedged in next to Mauro’s pizza, the extremely low-lit bar’s atmosphere bodes that of a PBR-peddling dive bar, but the plethora of unique lager choices and casually hip clientele suggests otherwise. In the front of the […]

The Professionals Billiards

If you’re a serious shark; a hustler of billiard balls; a sharp shooter — you’re not interested in bells and whistles. All you need is tables, balls and sticks. And maybe a little chalk. And at the Professional Billiards, that’s pretty much what you’re going to get. That, and cheap beer. This Davie outpost has […]

The Pub at Pembroke

Sometimes you want to go where everyone is clad in plaid and in a kilt. When your inner Anglophile is craving a well-poured pint and some pub grub, head to the Shops at Pembroke Gardens and hit up the Pub. This kitschy establishment has memorabilia from across the pond lining its walls, beers that make […]

Quarterdeck Dania Beach

Quarterdeck expands its lineup with a sixth South Florida location situated on top of the pier in Dania Beach. Taking up a sizable portion of the wood-planked pier, this neighborhood restaurant and bar is undoubtedly the most glamorous of the six locations, featuring panoramic views of the ocean, walls lined with large LED screens playing […]

Quickie’s Burgers & Wings

Quickie’s, an old-time drive-through with locations in Pembroke Pines and Hollywood, has a unique approach to burger making. All of its one-third or half-pound patties are cooked over hickory to give them a smoky, wood-fired flavor. Those juicy burgers are then topped with onions crisps and Quickie’s own special sauce, a spicy mayo-based sauce with […]
