TRULY enjoyed the visiting guest DJ Jesse Mercado from Chicago on 3/22/2024 The music was AWESOME!!! Please have him again as I have been fortunate to have heard him in several venues in the Chicago area and he is ON HIS GAME!!!
The best dive bar in town, and one of the only true Levi and Leather bars in the country. It's the last one with a regular Enforced Dress Code. It's also got the strongest drinks in town.
Awesome bartenders great music, awesome atmosphere as well!!!
Amazing, low key bar. Very come as you are, where everyone is welcomed whether they are in leather or a suit or anything in between. Very friendly staff and customers. Fun contests Wednesday and Thursday nights and a chill patio bar too. Pig Dance the first Saturday of every month is not to be missed! Amazing DJs and a packed house.
This place is spectacular, I had never had a similar experience. This is now my favorite place. I was able to live new experiences.
The leatherman's leather bar, just like it always has been. Cigars out back, dark corners with frisky men, and stiff drinks. Excellent bartenders and staff.
In the Fort Lauderdale / Wilton area, I would consider it one of my favorite bars to go to. Yeah it may occasionally stinks inside, might be filled with smoke outside.. but you just embrace it for what it is. Most of the staff is friendly. Drinks are super strong (beware). Lots of great people to mingle with. And when there’s a DJ, the music is on point. Due to pickpocketing that’s been going on around all the bars, me and my partner just bring the essentials inside. No phones, maybe bring 1 card or cash, and usually a bum bag to store that and the essentials that I share with my partner. Parking is hit or miss, even during the day. But there’s always parking at the wing shop, which has never been a problem, or decades after 6pm. Overall it’s just a place that you can be yourself - dress however you want whether it’s with leather or not, without judgement and have fun.
I’m out of town, so my 1st, 2nd, and every visit after has been great. Chill bars and people, including the employees (David, Jacob, and Jesse). Store inside for your immediate and most needed future activities. There’s a front and back patio, too. Patios seem to be rain friendly. Sense of privacy and personal touch, with a local vibe. Next door, you got food, and another store. A barber across the street, too. I mention that because this bar vibes with the leather/kink community or at least that was my intake. Thus, you have chances within distance to fix up yourself at the last minute, or should the occasion arise that you need it. The venue opens at an adequate time for early risers. There’s happy hours. There’s lights that can light up the tabs as to aid in reading inside. Love the energy and vibe of this place. I heard they have a pool table? But never moved towards that section to check it out. What I mean is, the venue has more size than one would initially observe and think of. I think I remember it from my first time visit, but I don’t go out to play pool by myself. Cool man cave style indoors. Small and cool raffles from time to time. More importantly, I felt save and I am thankful to visit an atmosphere where my presence did not impede other’s and that goes in accordance to myself and preferences. The Florida heat does not penetrate the front or back patios like they would in any other outdoor bars, because of their fans. I don’t know what else to write on this review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. Sorry that it’s so long. Until next time, may the spires keep you and the force be with you.
