Baja
300 S.W. First Ave. (Las Olas Riverfront), Fort Lauderdale, 954/462-5604
Sure, plenty of bars and clubs offer happy hours on a daily basis, but its
quality, not quantity, that makes Baja the best place to mix it up. Located inside
the touristy but nonetheless lively Riverfront, Baja offers three-for-one drinks
and $2 bottled beer from 6 to 10 p.m. Fridays, with a huge, 30-foot buffet for
drinkers who want to end their work week in style and with a full stomach. And
were not talking cold-cut crap. No, Baja boasts food like the recent offerings
of pulled pork, macaroni and cheese, candied yams, Southern-fried chicken, tossed
salad, assorted fruits and more. With your meal, enjoy those tasty drinks, including
their signature Vox raspberry martinis with fresh raspberries and edible flowers.
The patio bar is open during happy hour, and the main bar opens at 10 p.m., at
which time you can party down to dance, hip-hop and Top 40 music, or just chill
in the relaxed area known as the Ghost Bar.
