America's Backyard

(This is my short review of a bar I visited in Fort Lauderdale)

America's Backyard is definitely a great place to visit if you're in the greater Fort Lauderdale area. Upon entering you might feel as if a cameraman is going to bombard you with drinks and cash to flash your tits, as well as ask you to get onto the bar and dance. Yes, this place is grungy (in a good way) and is devoid of all traces of class; considering that female employees are scantily clothed walking around with test tubes. Some even with entire bottles of alcohol ready to pour down any customer's throat... that is, if the customer is willing. The music is eclectic and you might even find yourself rocking out to "Hey Mickey you're so fine- etc etc". The entire bar is located outdoors, which must be a nightmare if it begins to rain. I also counted about 4-5 bars in a place that is just about the size of two and a half Walgreens put together. The employees are your typical club employees who do not really give a crap about you or who you are, and treat everyone the same. They are also not shameful enough to keep their clothes on, however there is no nudity. You might even find yourself getting drenched as employees on stage (or bar tops) will bombard its customers with ice cold water, riling up the ambiance.

Jen said as we were approaching the bar that she better not be in earshot of any establishment playing "Sweet Home Alabama". Surely enough that song found it's way onto the DJ's hands and well, she raged. Lol!

But in all seriousness, America's Backyard is a fun place and has a southern feel to it. I theorize that a couple of Girls Gone Wild videos must have been shot there. Yeah, its that kind of place.

(I'll be posting a link to a small video I took of the place)

  1. This review is quite accurate. I had a great time though. I think the owners prefer the bartenders to have less clothes on. (remember the all the guys on the one side of the middle bar? lol)

    I'd want to go back sometime. Maybe we'll show Hiroko what Spring Break in Miami might look like huh? ^^
