Best Beer Selection

A perennial winner in this category, the 'Bong boasts 18 beers on tap and hundreds of bottled brews. Just don't ask for domestics, or they'll laugh you out of the bar. This is a beer drinker's bar, not the sort of place for the person who just sucks down a Budweiser or five to catch a good beer buzz. At the 'Bong, you'll find fine Trappist ales, great European brews like Hoegaarden and even Framboise Raspberry Lambic, the "beer" choice of dandified, candy-ass drinkers the world over -- but at a whopping $7 per bottle, why debase yourself? Couple this great beer selection with a constantly changing roster of local music acts and some of the best smoked-fish dip in Broward County, and you have yourself a great watering hole.
