Sands Harbor Patio Bar, Pompano Beach

Plunked down alongside the Intracoastal Waterway, this casual cafe at the edge of a hotel has ongoing entertainment provided by giant yachts and tiny runabouts scooting by on their way to somewhere. So casual is this spot, in fact, that folks wander in wearing swimsuits and lacy cover-ups and they fit right in. The restaurant often features swimwear fashion shows. Live entertainment is often on the bill as well at this entertaining spot that serves food as casual as the crowd: chicken wings, burgers, a raw bar and frozen drinks. If you can come up with a boat or hail a water taxi willing to take a bit of a trip, you can arrive here by boat and tie up at the cafe's dock.
