About

Walk in and you're greeted by kitschy tropical decor that feels more Key West than Fort Lauderdale. This friendly neighborhood bar draws a loyal crowd of locals in their 30s to 50s, with $2 pints daily ($1 on Sundays) and a pool table in the back. Owner Jerry hosts holiday cookouts and charity events for The Pet Project, giving the place a strong community vibe.

The outdoor patio called Lisa's Backyard is a standout spot, and dogs are welcome to join the regulars inside. Happy hour runs all night on Mondays. If you're exploring other local spots, Georgie's Alibi Monkey Bar is nearby and worth a visit.

Located in downtown Fort Lauderdale, this bar is part of the city's central nightlife area.

From the community

I hang out here regularly. The owner has a great personality and truly cares about the staff and customers. The bartenders are wonderful. One bartender who has been there a long time is incredibly friendly, warm, accommodating, and fun. This place always feels safe and enjoyable. The owner frequently hosts holiday cookouts. They also raise money for The Pet Project. I love it! - fun crowd

“Great Local Bar With No Attitude”

I like going to Mona's because I always have a good time. There are regulars and visitors passing through town. The drinks are well-priced, particularly the $2 pints ($1 on Sundays). The bar feels like a small tropical neighborhood spot you'd find in Key West. Pets are allowed, and local dogs and cats fit right in. The owner is focused on charity and community, and the bar frequently holds fundraisers for good causes.

“Fun Bar with no gimmicks”

I stop by on Monday evenings since happy hour runs all night. It's never too crowded, and both the customers and staff are friendly. The decor is quite unique. Also, you can bring your dog along if you want.
