    We got there very late and the place was very deserted. But Joel behind the bar convinced us to stay and we had a nice round of drinks and a good time before going to bed (not telling which bed). Need to come back when the place is crowded.

    Its always fun and friendly. I danced line dance, the guys called me to play poker with them at the card table, on weekends it’s busy with gays for a quick chat. Corona Light beer is $6. They have a big patio where I sang open-air karaoke. I liked it

    Impossible to get a drink on sunday night... place was packed but many people not drinking...and leaving!!! What is the point to be a bar and not to be able to provide drinks?? The lines to get drinks were 15 to 20 people??!! I can t imagine the loss of revenue by not being able to provide. Scandals is a very nice bar but please think a little bit your efficiency on busy nights... maybe more bartenders?? Buckets of beers?? Only cash?? Solutions are here...

    Don't use the valet service. You may come out to find you car is gone. I used it because it was raining when we arrived. Big mistake. Car stolen. No help from the attendant or bar manager. Police report filed. Wilton Manors police department told me this is not the first time this has happened at this establishment.

    Always a great place to relax and have some drinks. The chicken quesadilla is delicious. Sunday late afternoon and early evening is the place to be. Great Disco tea dance in the patio!❤️

    My friends visited this establishment on Sunday, November 26 to attend the weekly tea dance. They used the valet service to park their car, and when they were ready to leave, they were shocked to find out that their car was STOLEN from the valet lot. The manager came out, talked to the valet and left. No one spoke to my friends. No one apologized or offer any type of assistance. My friends are from Tennessee and now have to fly back home with their dog. I have never heard of such lack of customer care from an establishment (or lack of humanity, for that matter). STAY AWAY!

    This is the place to be on a Sunday afternoon for their world-famous afternoon tea. The men are handsome, the bartenders are friendly, the booze pores are heavy. The music is always on point.

    Sundays are pretty busy. Fun atmosphere, great drinks. The bartender gave me the wrong credit card and someone else's bill twice, and the next day, I noticed 2 separate charges on my card. I may have bought someone a few drinks that day.

    Nick and the apple martini is a must! Josh and Wade are perfect for everything else. This was my 1st time here and I can say that I truly enjoyed myself. The staff is very friendly. There's a pool table, 3 bars and outdoor seating as well. Although we only day drank, Happy New Year, I believe they serve food also. Was a good time for sure.

    Stopped in for a quick cocktail early evening, and we just loved this place. We aren't from the area (in Ft. Lauderdale from Florida's West Coast escaping Hurricane Ian), and it was our first time visiting Scandals Saloon. The bartender was terrific. The atmosphere is unbelievable.

    Friendly comfortable bar. Sunday tea dance. Tuesday bingo. Friday karaoke. Saturday drag shop. Super employees make you feel welcome. Suitable for straight people as well. Parking is tight. Valet on weekends.

    Large Club with lots of space, several bars, great entertainment and a friendly staff! It's all so happy hour all Day on Sunday! They also have great food on the weekends at the Chuck Wagon operating within the club.

    Very friendly bartender and music was a nice change from your typical bar. Was nice to sit outside on a Monday evening and relax in the beautiful weather under the moonlight listening to some nice relaxing music. With some good classic rock thrown in from time to time. 👍🏿

    Huge indoor bar and dance floor, enormous outdoor bar. Sunday afternoons are jam packed with mens. Highly recommended!

  • 5/5 samuel s. 3 years ago on Google
    Had a lot of fun. Even though I was the only one in a cowboy hat. Lol

  • 5/5 Paul C. 8 months ago on Google
    Great consistent place to have fun. Great drinks and lots of weekly entertainment. All the bartenders are great but Vince really stands out as someone I love to see

  • 5/5 jason calivo s. 2 years ago on Google
    A great place to relax and enjoy the warm breezy afternoons or evenings! Best way to get there is walk or carpool...parking is very limited and is valet. Make sure to have cash on hand if you valet...I think it's 5 bucks. Drinks are stiff and cold and cheaper than on wilton drive. Sunday T-Dance is my favorite day to go. You can also take line dancing lessons here too!

    I just first disclose that I did not eat there, a couple of friends took me there to celebrate my birthday. I had a good time, and got out of my routine. I like the indoor and outdoor set up, and its game room. The place reminds me of Tacky,back in the 80’s, back when T dances were the thing to do after spending Sunday at the beach. Ideally located, and the convenience of efficient valet service.

    This location is just outside Wilton Manors so you won't find it on the drive like most of the other bars. This location has a lot more room than the others and has a nice mix of inside and outside seating. There are a number of shows throughout the week to keep you coming back though. There's a wide variety of people who come here so it's usually a good social mix. It's not necessarily a country/western bar and appeals to most. There is also plenty of parking across the street as parking in front of the entrance is limited to a handful of spaces.

  • 5/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Been there several times. Definitely my favorite bar in the Wilton Manors area. Bar staff is very warm and friendly. Clientele is friendly and open. Sunday afternoon is crazy busy and fun. During the week a little more like a neighborhood pub. The owner is nice too. 😉

    I'm not sure if it's still open anymore. My last trip to Ft Lauderdale Scandals had the Sunday T Dances with many very hot masculine looking men.

  • 5/5 Matt P. 10 months ago on Google
    We were too early to try the food but our drinks were poured well! We sat inside to avoid the heat and humidity after the rain on this Sunday afternoon. The bartender serving us was friendly and welcoming. The people at the bar were very friendly and humorous. We came to support because we saw the bar was sponsoring a Drag Me Out to Pride event. We were unable to attend it on Saturday but came for drinks on Sunday to thank the staff for participating on Saturday. I wore my own wig to the parade/protest.

  • 5/5 Mike D. 1 year ago on Google
    My new favorite bar in Wilton Manors. I love how spacious it is so even when it’s full it doesn’t feel cramped. Good and cheap drinks, I like the specials. The outdoor space is great!

  • 5/5 eddy v. 1 year ago on Google
    Large typical American gay bar with lots of space and a very busy tea dance on Sunday More mature crowd.

  • 2/5 Mike M. 1 year ago on Google
    Parking is horrible, now the new owner has raised drink prices to exorbitant prices. I can buy the same drink for $3.00 to $4.00 at many places on the strip. Good luck on the new business model.

  • 5/5 brian c. 1 year ago on Google
    Kind of a bust for tea dance on this rainy Sunday, but the bartender at the front bar, bald head and glasses was one of the best bartenders I've ever seen in action! Great space, great drinks and prices, great music

  • 5/5 Arnie C. 2 years ago on Google
    Although this place is open and has events all week, Sunday is when it is hopping. Whether you're catching a show, playing poker, or learning to two-step, you'll find it here. The clientele on a Sunday is so diverse. You'll run into every kind of person imaginable and sometimes ones you could never imagine meeting. The staff is awesome as they quickly sling drinks for the droves of folks that are at this place. It's a little bit away from the rest of the bars on Wilton Drive, but it's worth the trip.

  • 3/5 B H. 1 year ago on Google
    Large place, great outside patio, but it's quite empty every time we go.

  • 5/5 David B. 1 year ago on Google
    In love this place. Very friendly staff and great drag shows. And the clientele was very welcoming.

  • 5/5 Max C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best club I've ever been to! Food and drinks are affordable and the atmosphere and people are amazing. If you like music pool and food this place is for you🥰

  • 5/5 John M. 1 year ago on Google
    This is an ALL WELCOMING bar -- recently saw a straight lady get MARRIED to a cross-dressing STRAIGHT man here, with cross-dressing men in attendance. Have never witnessed anything like it in 70 years. The super L-A-R-G-E patio is the big draw here, where you can enjoy cold drinks outdoors, with plenty of room around you. Two covered bars for service. Country western music, line dancing, pool tables and generous drinks make this a winning bar. #WiltoManors #FortLauderdale
