Stache 1920s
Drinking Den
The place
Fort Lauderdale doesn't have many legitimate speakeasy-style cocktail bars. Behind a modest Las Olas door, Stache delivers: a dark, moody drinking den decorated in 1920s excess — taxidermied animals, Edison bulbs, and bartenders who know their cocktail history cold.
The menu walks through American cocktail culture by era: Prohibition classics (Bee's Knees, Last Word, proper Manhattans) through mid-century innovations and into modern technique. Daytime coffee bar service means Stache works as a laptop spot before morphing into one of downtown's better nightlife venues after dark.
DJ sets on weekends skew hip-hop and funk — louder than the decor suggests, in a way that somehow works once you settle in.
What to expect
