Pool, Ping-Pong, & Beer - Kim's Alley Bar Fort Lauderdale

Kims Alley Bar has been around since 1948... and it's still a great place to hang out and shoot a friendly game of pool, play ping-pong or darts, or just have a beer at the bar with Patrick (don't be jealous of his hair, it takes alot of hard work to maintain that mane). I start most Friday nights here (and end plenty here, too!)

The Food:
None served here, but the pizza place in the same shopping center will deliver to you here, and no one will bat an eye... espescially if you share!

The Staff:
The staff here are great fun, and are good at remembering faces and drinks.

The Info:
Kim's has two regulation-size pool tables available by the hour, and one smaller coin-op table. It's usually no issue to get a shot, and the crowd is friendly and often open to others joining. I am not a huge common/domestic beer drinker, so I make do with bottles of Stella Artois and Yuengling among the regular chaff available. Full liquor is here is here as well, and they make a decent Whiskey Sour!

Recommended For:
Starting or ending an evening with friends, or spending the whole night here making new ones!

Location:
Kim's Alley Bar
Gateway Shopping Center
1920 E. Sunrise Blvd
Fort Layderdale, FL 33304

Directions [MAP]:
Kind of tricky to get into the Gateway Plaza... eastbound on Sunrise go through the light for Federal towards the beach. Plaza is on your right, if you reach another traffic light you've gone too far... its just past the Gateway Theater!

NOTE:
If you enter the bar from the East entrance, head towards the restrooms and make a right at the cigarette machine... Kim's has two seperate areas, but the east side is more for barflys or quiet conversation! The West entrance is in the alley that gives the bar it's name, but parking is limited.
