Mickey Byrne's Irish Pub

If you order liquor during happy hour, e.g. Johnnie Walker Red, you will get charged extra if you order it neat. You will also get charged extra if you order it on the rocks. What the hell?! I confronted two different bartenders at Mickey Byrne's about this. The explanation was that you get more alcohol because it's a bigger pour. So it's a bigger if I order it on the rocks and it's also a bigger pour when I order it neat. The second guy I confronted about this (tall, built, black hair) was offended and said all bars do this. He got even more offended when I called him out on it and told hime this was the only bar that I have ver been to that charges extra for neat and on the rocks. Idiot! This is total bullshit. So I decided to get confirmation from several other bartenders outside of Mickey Byrne's. All of them agreed with me that the extra charges are bullshit.

The clientele is "bro-central", i.e. douchebags.

Little Venice Pizza

This is my favorite pizza place, as well as my fiance's favorite. It is the only place that we have ever been to on several occasions in a short span of time. The view is incredible - the beach is yards away. Depending on which day and at what time you go, you may be able to catch a glimpse of a cruise ship(s) as it sails from Port Everglades.

We always order the pizza special - $12.95 for a large pizza and a pitcher of beer or soda. We go for the beer. I forget how much additional toppings cost. The price is reasonable, though. We order the pizza without cheese and add a couple of toppings. Delicious! The slices are cut big and are nice and thin. The crust is excellent. Go to Little Venice with a relaxed attitude - everything is made fresh to order, meaning that you'll be waiting a bit. We love it. With cold beer, even better company, and a beautiful view, what's a few more minutes?

The garlic rolls are garlicky and doughy - just the way I like them. My recommendation is if you order them, make sure that you're really hungry. The rolls are quite filling.

Service is casual, friendly, and efficient.

We had just moved to the area and decided to check this place out. We thought. "2-for-1" drinks sounded good so we ordered. When the bill came, there were individual charges of one cent per drink ordered. The bartender explained this was a charge for happy drinks. What the fuck?! I thought this was two for one. Lying assholes.

Dr. Lopez provides top notch care for cats and dogs. Her interest in the animals' well being is genuine. She has seen many of our animal companions: Blackie and George (dogs); Napoleon, Christmas, Mickey, Pepito, Oreo, Jasmine, Cesar, Daisy, and Patrick (cats). George loves going to the vet. I worked for a period of 8 months and so was able to witness her doing her work. This woman is amazing.

No way! This place has become trendy. The beer and food are overpriced. Too bad since it's a relaxing place to hang out.

    My fiance and I went for the second time last night. I shall start out by saying that the service is outstanding. Charlie and Molly remembered us and greeted us by name when we walked up to the bar. The food is top-notch. Keep in mind: Lou is a graduate of Johnson and Wales. We started off with the Belgian fries. The fries were seasoned to perfection - not fried too much - just to the point of being crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. After another round, we decided on a veggie pizza. If you've read one of my other reviews, you will know about the "veggie tax". Guess what - Lou's does not charge a veggie tax. Rejoice, fellow vegans! We ordered the veggie pizza without cheese. Lou loaded the pizza with veggies and even made a nice mound of arugula in the center. He even came out to find out how we liked the pizza. Did we like it? "Like" is understatement. We loved it. It was delicious.

    How about the beer? Take your pick. There are a couple of new ones on tap: Chimay Triple and Hazed & Infused. The Hazed & Infused is good. It's almost like an IPA but milder.

Ho Wah Restaurant  

Category: Chinese

5.0 star rating
10/9/2010
This is the best Chinese take-out I have had in Miami. The food is not greasy. Even the spring rolls are light. A big plus: no MSG. I have never visited the establishment since every time I have eaten from there it has been take-out. The guy that delivers the food is really nice. We (fiance and I) invited the the parents over for dinner a couple of weeks ago and everybody loved it. They liked it so much that when I visited my parents yesterday, we ordered from Ho Wah.

Another big plus for Ho Wah: an awesome veggie selection. Their General Tso's tofu is delicious as is their vegetables Hunan style. I had the vegetable chop suey last night and it was delicious. Their vegetable lo mein is not too heavy and has a nice mix of vegetables.

Look for Skip if you visit. He's the guy that owns the shop. We've become regulars at his place. A nice portion of my wardrobe comes from Skip's place. It's funny: I spend more time chatting with Skip than shopping. He has the best and rarest selection of surfer and skater shorts that I have ever seen. The selection is varied and I have not seen this stuff any place else. Prices are a-okay.

Paradise Tiki Hut Bar & Grill  

5.0 star rating
7/30/2010 First to Review
My fiance and I make it a point to go to Paradise Tiki Hut whenever we are in town for a few days. It's an open air bar. The bar itself is long and there are plenty of tables and chairs around. Their happy hour is from 10 to 6. Crazy but awesome. Beer is inexpensive; mixed drinks are a tad pricey - nothing out of this world as far as prices go, meaning that, overall, prices are great for drinks. I cannot comment too much on the food considering the only thing I had were the fries, which were tasty. Service is attentive and friendly. Parking is free.

Riverside Hotel

This is an upscale hotel without the snobby attitude. Hotel staff is pleasant and helpful. The place is immaculate. Rooms are spacious and well-kept. Bathroom amenities are of good quality. I can't speak for the food since we did not eat there. However, the bar (Golden Lyon) is top notch. Prices are decent ($12 for a dry martini with Hendrick's Gin and $9 for a Manhattan with Canadian Club), pours are generous, and service is friendly.

Las Olas Boulevard is right outside the door of the hotel. Downtown Fort Lauderdale is a few short blocks away. The location is excellent.

The parking arrangements could use some work. Parking is available in an adjacent municipal parking garage at a rate of $17.00 a day. The hotel gives you a key card that also acts as a parking pass, allowing in-and-out access throughout your stay. GPS helps to get to the hotel if you're not familiar with the area.
