Indoor/Outdoor sports bar on the Intracoastal with room for 900 people and over 100 flat screen TV's. Outside is covered so you can still sit outdoors if it rains. Happy hour is 4-6 every weekday. It has its own water taxi stop so you can explore Fort Lauderdale's water ways. The food and drinks are good but it's the views that make this place - Great place to watch sports or watch the yachts pull up - the viewings the thing here.
