Best & Cool Bars in Hallandale

"Coconuts has been dialing up the flavor on some seafood favorites for anyone who comes through the front door. Not only is it a local favorite for mouthwatering dishes such as the generously seasoned conch fritters and tasty Mahi tacos, but it has also been named the best restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, according to New York Times reader’s choice awards. Don’t take their word for it, though."

"Relax by the city marina and enjoy finger food fit for small hands and fresh catches from the sea at Coconuts. For the older children and adults, this restaurant features snow crab legs and roasted garlic butter that make you glad you chose to vacation on the beach. Few things are more relaxing than watching the boats go by while watching your children eat happily with their hands."

"Located on the top floor of the EPIC Hotel, trendy Area 31 has the reputation of the best view in town as well as exceptionally good food and cocktails. Sunset over the Biscayne Bay and the city skyline from the restaurant’s poolside terrace is absolutely breathtaking, but Executive Chef Wolfgang Birk manages to draw the attention of his guests with his frequently changing menu that is based on sustainable ingredients and focuses on local seafood with a Spanish twist. The menu is extensive but the chef’s fresh ceviche, crudos and tartares are legendary."

"Area 31 is a local favorite located on the 16th floor of the EPIC hotel. The restaurant itself is outdoors, and the elevation gives visitors breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The elegant menu is seafood based, serving only the freshest fish and more – check out the raw bar, ceviche dishes, and shrimp cocktails."

"More of a Balinese garden than a bar, Sugar takes rooftop aesthetics to a whole new level. With 40th-floor views (from the EAST, Miami hotel), soothing decor, and dangerously strong lychee martinis, and tasty tapas, making an evening at Sugar is an exotic departure from the Miami norm.

"On the 40th floor of the East Miami hotel at Brickell City Centre, you’ll find a lush rooftop garden bar stocked with all the good stuff. Think: truffle pistachio tataki and wok-tossed edamame paired with lychee blossom cocktails and rosé champagne. Plus, the view is to die for."

"We certainly wouldn’t be mad if Miami got itself a few more solid dim sum options - but until that day comes, you can find us at Tropical Chinese pointing to random plates being pushed through the dining room on carts the size of baby elephants. This Bird Road favorite is where you’ll find Miami’s best dim sum and a roast pork bun we occasionally dream about. Dim sum is served seven days a week until 3:30pm."

"Restaurants Chinese Ludlam / Tropical Park. Family-owned and in business for more than 30 years, Tropical Chinese is the neighborhood favorite for Hong Kong-style Chinese food, and the best dim sum west of the Palmetto. It’s busy most of the day but nothing beats the lunch rush in crowd size and offerings."

"This self-proclaimed “upscale” dive bar — from the people behind places like Sweet Liberty and Blackbird Ordinary — features retro-vibes, strong drinks and plenty of entertainment like a Pac Man arcade game, jukebox, pool table, TVs, and a Bookleggers library. Plus diners can grab a pizza and a nostalgic snowball from its on-site food vendor, Yeti’s."

"Football fans are surely familiar with Hard Rock Stadium, home to the NFL’s Miami Dolphins. Located just north of the city in Miami Gardens, this impressive stadium is pretty easy to get to regardless of where you are staying. While the Miami Dolphins are the most famous tenants, the University of Miami Hurricanes football team, as well as countless events and shows, take place at the stadium as well."

"Last but not least, there's Sushi Song, over in Flamingo Lummus, which has earned 4.5 stars out of 201 reviews on Yelp. You can find the sushi bar, which also offers desserts, salads and more, at 1239 Washington Ave. Named the best sushi restaurant in Fort Lauderdale Daily's Best of Fort Lauderdale: Restaurants, Bars, Gyms and More, Sushi Song offers dishes like the Maine Lobster Volcano Roll, made with baked lobster served on top of a shrimp tempura roll, and the Spiderman Roll, soft shell crab tempura topped with a spicy tuna tartar and eel sauce."
