Gatsby’s
1805 S. University Drive, Davie, 954/476-0063; additional locations in West Palm Beach
(561/686-7300), Boca Raton (561/393-3900) and Miami (305/412-2220); www.gatsbysfl.com


Although it might seem strange to pick a joint with four locations, from West Palm Beach to Kendall, as best neighborhood bar, a few nights shooting stick, knocking back a few buckets of Heinekens or half-price martinis and munching your way through a full menu while tracking the action on eight big-screen TVs will be enough to convince even the most jaded party playa that “neighborhood” doesn’t have to mean smoky hole in the wall. Gatsby’s features more than a dozen pool tables at each location, kick-ass sound systems and a comfortable blend of moss-covered locals, questionable characters and club hoppers to make you feel at home. Throw in a laid-back and superfriendly staff and specials every night — through 4 a.m. Saturday nights — and you will find yourself rapidly becoming a regular. There goes the neighborhood.
