This is the dive bar of the spring breakers known as the Elbo Room. It was established in 1938, located at the corner of A1A and Las Olas, directly across the street from the waterfront boardwalk.
Proudly advertised as a smoking lounge, the air is thick with the smell of cigarettes and booze. Stop by for the lunch special, priced at just $5.50 and offered from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.
This dive bar lives up to its name: specifically $4.75 domestic bottled beers, karaoke, $5 well drinks, and a happy hour that spans from noon to 7 p.m. It also has a full kitchen serving everything.
If you're thirsty for more than just a good time, the standard dirt-cheap beers, neon-tinged cocktails, and stiff drinks are offered at two-for-one during daily happy hour, from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The bar serves the standard domestic and basic imports by draft and bottle, and if you're hungry a taste of the kitchen's standard bar fare including American picks like wings and burgers.
Serving only beer and wine, Josie's is the very definition of standard American dive bar. Pitchers, bottled beer, drafts, and wine are all less than $7 to help wash down.
Red's is the real deal when it comes to dive bars, with a friendly bar staff,a shiny new jukebox, and a massive display of liquor. The $1.50 draft domestic beers are cold and the $1 Jell-O shots.
You get two bars for one: the seemingly quiet front lounge is dimly lit and smoky, while the hidden back room offers a sports theme where you'll find pool, darts, Ping-Pong, and a killer jukebox.
Advertising "The World's Longest Happy Hour" from noon to 10 p.m. daily, Dirty Blondes might also have the world's longest bar, a selection of $3.75 well drinks, and 99-cent domestic draft beers.
One of the oldest locals spots around, a burger and fries will run you about $3.50, a draft beer less than $2. Sitting next to a toothless old man on a rickety wooden barstool? Priceless.
