"I have lived in the area for a long time and had not heard of this gem of a bar and longue. I was invited here by the awesome DJ Rose Kidd and the event didn't disappoint. I must give special recognition to Riley for providing extraordinary service and attention to detail, she is awesome and will be one of the reasons I come back and tell friends to visit. The vibe and ambience are stellar. If you are looking for a chic and warm bar/lounge The Fitz is the place to be."

"A cool bar in downtown Fort Lauderdale. I’ve been here many times for networking events, but it does get super crowded, and without any private space, it can feel a bit overwhelming. It’s already a popular spot, so adding networking on top makes it even more packed. That said, the cocktails are fantastic—especially the espresso martini!"

"My new favorite bar. It’s been a while since I’ve been this impressed with a bars service and general atmosphere. The bartender John was super friendly and attentive even tho he was the only one working a packed bar on a Sunday during football season. The owner came over to make sure we were enjoying ourselves and made us feel like regulars even tho this was our first time here. Honestly, you don’t find bars like this anymore. Super chill, fun, and the drinks were spot on. I recommend the Riverside Mule Definitely will be coming back here regularly from now on."

"I entered the bar and they had all screens playing music videos. I asked the bartender if they were playing the Celtics game (which obviously they were not) and he offered to put it on one of the several large TVs at the bar. I don't know their concept, it was nice that the bartender offered, without hesitation, to accommodate me."
