Enjoy the South Florida nightlife at one of these Miami area hot spots. Live music with a variety of foods and drink specials will let you custom-tailor an evening to remember!

Bamboo Room ~
25 South J Street, Lake Worth 33460
561-585-2583

Open from 7 pm to 2 am, Tuesday through Saturday (closed Sunday and Monday). All shows are 21 and over.

Alcohol is served, and includes a full bar. The dress code is 'neat casual', and the live music is Blues. Parking is in a pay lot, although there is also some street parking possible. The Bamboo Room is wheelchair accessible.

Breathtaking décor and elegant drink service grace this 81-year old building that showcases the best of the area's local bands and that also draws national-caliber acts for weekend concerts at the Bamboo Room.

The real bamboo floors and walls create amazing acoustics, and the view from the bar is excellent from nearly seat along the serpentine bar. Or take a seat among the comfortable couches and small tables where the bamboo theme continues.

Normal beer prices are around $4, but weeknight specials bring them down to $2.50, and they have dozens of varieties to choose from. There is no kitchen service at the Bamboo Room, but there are plenty of restaurant choices within walking distance.

In addition to an impressive selection of bottled beers from all over the world, the Billabong Pub has 18 varieties of draft beers. Drafts are typically $4 and customers who drink 99 beers in any six-month period get their own commemorative stein to use.

Service at the long bar is fast and friendly, and the barmaids are famous for their expansive knowledge of obscure brews. There's a plentiful selection of food available to wash down with all those beers.

Sushi Blues Cafe and Blue Monk Lounge ~

The music is very loud, easily flowing into the outdoor seating area. If you don't mind loud, sit at the sushi bar, regular bar, tables, or in the enclave to one side of the stage, and partake of the traditional Japanese cooking delights. Drink prices range from $1.50 for a Diet Coke to $5.50 for well cocktails, with beer and hot sake in between.

Always use a designated driver, and enjoy your night out!
