DrYnk Bar & Lounge

If someone knows this trade then it’s Frank - the best barman ever! Practice makes mastery they say and the years of practice has made him the master! Over the years I have been coming here with many friends and every time I return to South Florida they ask about him. I just love watching him juggling the art of cocktail making with a smile, remembering customers names and drinks, very very friendly and witty. Thanks again and again …

2nd time I celebrated my birthday there. Place is beautiful inside and particularly the gorgeous patio outside. The management was again beyond accomodating and reserved nice seating for the party. The business dedicated a server for us and Griffin did an amazing job. Though the bar does not serve food I can give 5 stars since they allow outside catering from affiliated restaurants. We decided on Tulio's Tacos and I can strongly recommend them. Food was amazing. Special thanks to the MOD of the day Byron who kept things from start to end running smoothly.

I love this place..it’s my go to meet place for my local friends and those visiting alike! The patio is magical and Christmas is a dream! But the best is Frank, hottie bar tender who will make recommendations that make your whole day/night better!! Always AMAZING!

One of my favorite bar on the drive. The bartenders are skilled at making drinks. If you want a well made cocktail you a bevy of bartenders to choose from. One of the best part of Drynk is the outdoor seating area. It is beautiful. Lastly if you eat at Tulio’s on the same day and you have your receipt you get a discount off your bar tab.

Love Drunk... The decor indoors is incredible and can only be topped by the back deck/outside drinking area. Great service... Great staff.. definitely go and get a drink... Happy hour til 8

The best margaritas in Wilton Manors…and I tried a lot of margaritas on our vacation in the area. The bar has a great atmosphere with both the inside and outside areas feeling upmarket but without being pretentious. A nice mix of people from across the community and the drinks were both excellent quality and excellent value. Classic margaritas, smoked old fashions, cosmos and espresso martinis were all on point.

I love this place for crafted drinks ..they are really good. This is a place you want to come by your self, a date or with friends super clean, fresh flowers at the bar ❤️ . Great atmosphere, high end vibes so definitely you getting a nice experience.

Drynk is the best bar on the drive! Great drinks, atmosphere and bartenders. Sergio is so pleasant and always makes a great cocktail. If you’re visiting, this place is a must.

Thank you Frank! Incredible first time visit. Sat at bar. Frank made us feel very welcome. Created a smoky old fashioned for my Fiance. My spicy margarita was ....outstanding. We loved our time at Drynk!

We stopped by Drynk for a happy hour after a beard trim. The ambiance is classy and well maintained, dark woods and leather inside, a comfortable rear patio and curb/sidewalk seating. There is no food served. The drinks were served with care and speed. Aaron is friendly and makes a great espresso martini. This is definitely a happy hour spot we will visit again!

Drynk is probably the best place to enjoy a casual drink on the Drive. While the beverage will cost you a month's salary you are getting a quality drink. This is a favorite amongst the locals and it can become very crowded. There is a pleasant back patio with another bar station. This is a great place to catch up on local gossip and meet with your friends or future friends.

Such a wonderful time !! Great atmosphere, amazingly phenomenal drinks served from one of their bartenders frank. I adore this place every time we come .

They make the best Smokey Old Fashioned in all of south Florida. And we are out here trying them in all different bars... it always comes down to Drynk having the gold standard. They have a good selection of bourbon to choose from too.

Had the opportunity to check out @drynkftl last weekend. Just wanted to say, what a perfect place. The abidance was perfect with a warm vibe, the staff were so helpful, on top of their game and very friendly and the drinks were amazing!! If you have a chance to swing by, make sure you check out the back patio and grab a glass of Frose' (Promise you will love it)

I love the vibrant bar here friendly guests and the drink is awesome !!! Nice place to hang out

The management responded and said to contact them. I attempted twice on 2 different days at about 3-4 in the afternoon mid-week. No answer. Voicemail full and not able to accept additional messages. Ok.

Very cold service by Aaron on the back bar. This is why DrYnk is dying and Not recommend it.

Fun times at Drynk!! More fun after dark!!!! I had some fantastic cocktails!! Great atmosphere.

The place is the nicest on Wilton drive ! Bartenders are all amazing. It's not a rum n coke place. They make great cocktails ! Back patio is sexy. Great atmosphere. Servers are everywhere when u need a drink Hardly a wait !! Class act !

I probably prefer The Pub these days but this is still a great bar. The back patio is the best bar outdoor garden area on the drive, a little tropical oasis. I love how they decorate the steers head constantly. Well recommended.

Came here with some friends that were visiting from out of town. Personally I like old fashioned and they make them quite delicious here! They have a super cute outside patio area and the noise level is pretty decent!

Frank made us amazing drinks! Fantastic service. Good times!! Great atmosphere and overall vibe.

Pretty much everyone that I know likes this place, it's a staple bar on Wilton drive. They have good and respectful management and good bartenders who are pleasant to talk to and know how to mix drinks. The crowd is a mix, but overall the best crowd you'll see in all of Wilton drive.

Best bar on the Drive! We pop in here every time we're out. The drink menu is very creative and unique beyond just the standard one in one pours. The staff is always very friendly despite it almost always being packed inside. The outdoor space is a bit limited out front, but the patio out back is wonderful. We also LOVE the sitting area around the fireplace. So homey and cozy.

Service and Ambiance kill it here. It has so many locations to seat: front street, side street, indoors and bar indoors. Bartenders are great the the patrons were great.

I make routine visits to Wilton Manors with my wife to visit To The Moon" for cards, candy and christmas tree ornaments. This summer, the proprietor of To The Moon heard us talking about looking for a bar within walking distance. This was on a Saturday afternoon; we are not big nightime party people. Anyway, Mr. Dumas suggested that we try Drynk, so we did. Very nice place that is now part of our wilton manors visit routine. The outdoor deck and bar are the combination that should be common here, but sadly, are not. Really nice. Small, intimate, classy, very cool area enclosed by fishtail palms. Clean crisp and comfortable. Excellent drinks served by very fit men that are attractive to women regardless of the preferences of the men. So far, always an easy going friendly and fun crowds for us. Plus we usually meet a cool dog there. I am the type of man usually associated with homophobia due to appearance and demeanor, but never an issue here even though it is a gay destination. I get treated well by nice people in a beautiful place with great drinks at a decent value. Will be back soon. Thanks for putting together such a pleasant refuge from the world!

Drynk is in class all in itself when it comes to watering holes. This bar in Wilton Manors caters to all people. The bartenders are the friendliest guys you ever want to meet. Jay & Alex are my favorites but they're all great guys. Servers are very attentive as well. You should include this bar during your visit to Wilton Manors. Enjoy! Brent

Last time we got drinks at Drynk, we had a good round of beverages. We sat outside and loved the people watching ! The place is packed during busy times. Nice ambiance!

This is a happening place where you can drink delicious signature cocktails and rate the hotties as you sip your libations on the drive. Definitely ask for NICK. not only is he great at guiding your thirst to an enjoyable drynk but His beautiful tanned skin and dreamy blue eyes will ease your hectic life. What a lovable human being. Happy hour starts at 2pm til about 7pm. Definitely enjoy. Especially if you have NICK as your server. So update... This spot has gorgeous men working all day and night. If NICK is not there ask for JEFF E. is also great provider of delectable libations!

Stopped in for a cocktail and Frank took care of us right away. We asked for espresso martinis and WOW !! The absolute best espresso martinis on the drive . Frank was attentive, quick and had the best attitude despite the bar being so busy.

Amazing! Simply amazing! My partner and I decided to check out a few food and drink places in Wilton Manor. Seen Drynk Bar & Lounge across the street from where we were initially and was like "that looks sexy, let's see what's up". Went in and were greeted right away by the bartenders there. Their service was impeccable and so were the drinks. In fact, so good we went 3 nights in a row. We're from out of town and me being originally from New Orleans, I can certainly say this bar tops most of them in New Orleans for sure. Mad that I didn't capture pictures of the drinks but their Old Fashions are incredible.

I'm glad this bar is open during this pandemic. We went there on a Thursday night and sat at the beautiful and open back area. The drinks were great and our server was professional and knowledgeable. For sure we will go back.

My happy place! Great bartenders, delicious drinks and great ambience on the back patio!!!

This is a great place. The coctails are superb, the waiters and bartenders are at their very best. You feel like it's an extension of home. Great ambience.

I want to give a special shout out to the bartenders at Drynk. Friendly, courteous, beyond handsome all, and a keen ability to read patrons minds when it comes to their cocktail orders. A special note to Jay and Stu who make you feel like you are the only customer in the bar. They know your drink order (underbelly of a newborn piglet), know when you want another, and always ready to make your visit warm and welcome. These guys are not just bartenders, they are my friends. Cudos to the management for cultivating such a great staff! - Tim K

Perfect place to grab a drink. Open late. They are known for their patio so definitely check that out when you go. Drinks were phenomenal. Park on the street as there is no parking area.

I probably come here more than my check-ins admit LOL. I'd say if you transplanted DrYnk to NYC's gay Hells Kitchen, it would be swamped every night of the week. It's pretty crowded here most nights of the week as well, usually during happy hour before 8 pm, and especially Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday afternoon. The bar ambience and decor (except for the old Golden Era movies and musicals with Judy Garland, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford) is masculine and gentlemen clubby. It's probably one of the few gay bars on the Drive that does not have drag shows. Their moosehead on the wall is always changing adornments with the seasons. The bartenders and barbacks are all friendly. The bartenders know their trade, and their take on Smoky Old Fashioned (bourbon or rye) is Wow-worthy. So decadent and warm to your tummy. It even was named Best Cocktail on the Drive 2019 by SFGN voters, finally beating out Alibi's blue LIIT. The outdoor patio is unique to the Drive. It's like being in someone's upscale backyard, complete with its own bar and outdoor urinals to avoid waiting in restroom lines inside. The only problem in back are mosquitos. Even here it looks like management is trying tackle the problem, with new fans blowing (also helps blow the cigarette smoke away), and providing mosquito repellent upon request. Hopefully they also spray the area. Heat lamps come out when needed a few nights a year. This bar and bartenders know its clientele. And that is me ;-)

The only reason I would recommend this place is simply because of Franky! He's an amazing bartender. However the manageron the other hand lacks professionalism and his attitude towards customers is subpar. For the last few Sundays its been extremely disappointingly warm inside at the front bar area. When I asked the manager if he could lower the AC and turn the fans up he gave me an attitude which is completely unacceptable. As a repeat customer I felt unappreciated and my level comfort as a patron wasn't important.

Some of the best cocktails are made in Wilton right here at this bar and a shout out to one of THE BEST bartenders in Fort Lauderdale- Jay McCracken! Always on point with the right amount of ingredients for a perfect Old Fashioned and you can have a friendly conversation while he is making them. He is consistent and has an amazing knack of knowing what you want when you walk through the door. It doesn't hurt that he delivers up a great smile when serving you the perfect drink in a relaxed atmosphere at the end of a long day.

Love this place. The staff here is so kind And attentive. Even when busy it's a customer experience. I have been going here since day one of this opening and the venue is a absolutely beautiful. My go to mixologist and kind smile is always to go see Jay he makes the best smoked old fashioned and always has a smile on his face. Definitely recommend going to Drynk for an elevated experience in Wilton. Manors. And Go see Jay and his million dollar smile for a great drink and great service

Everything here is amazing. The attention to detail is noticable everywhere. The bartenders are cute and very skilled in crafting cocktails. There's no big gimmick to get you in. It's just a great place to enjoy a great cocktail.

We had just arrived for a birthday weekend from Tampa and Frank gave us the best VIP treatment. He really went all out for us and gave is his recommendations and free birthday shots. He is outstanding!

I've been a few times in the afternoon and I like the layout including the rear patio, which is congenial and includes a back bar. The bartenders are handsome and sexy although one time I had to wait 10 minutes to get served sitting at the bar even though guys near me (clearly regulars) were getting their drinks swiftly. Drinks are good. My one complaint, which isn't really Drynk's fault and which is probably more about me, is that everyone seems to know each other already so I definitely felt out of place. It was t like I was cruising or anything but being new in town I was hoping to meet some guys and have a few laughs. Overall, though, a nice place for a grownup gay man to get a grownup drink.

Cute little place located in Wilton Manors, has an indoor and outdoor seating style, I love their back patio. Went for a few drinks on a Sunday night and there was great atmosphere. Definitely recommend their espresso martinis.

Very friendly!!! Everyone is so welcoming...Aaron is def my favorite bartender there he's always smiling good, spirits he can have a line of people and he goes fast without compromising on the quality of the drinks. Best drinks and if in doubt he'll fix you up something that will make your taste buds explode. Usually in the back! Visit him you won't regret it. (Plus side - he's cute haha but he's extremely professional so be mindful of respect). Lol

I've been coming to Drynk for quite some time now and always enjoyed my time there. Unfortunately tonight I had an unpleasant experience there with a bartender named Jay. Awful service and witnessed him cutting off people for no reason. He must be new to behave how he did towards paying customers...will not be returning.

Great atmosphere. Really great drinks. The bartender, Jay, makes a great cocktail. Was fun to chat with. Attentive and not bad to look at. He made the visit extra! Thanks Drynk and Jay. I'll be back

I ordered a strawberry mule and it was delicious, Frank was super nice and provided suggestions and was overall kind and attentive. I was given the rum chata and it was delicious! We gave him a plant that was given to us (Plant Hub Wilton Manors). I'll definitely come back again!

Thank you so much for your help in making our special day awesome! Alex was on time, great service, and was very professional. We wouldn't change a thing! Thank you again for your help!

Happen to stumble upon Drynk on my last visit to Wilton Manors. The place has a terrific vibe, friendly patrons and staff. One staff member was particularly helpful - Jay was extremely kind in giving me restaurants advice and where to go in the city of Fort Lauderdale. I would recommend Drynk as a definite stop to your visit and ask for Jay.

Love the upscale vibe and craft martinis, a definite standout on the drive. The bartenders are great and work their butts off ... they never seem to stop moving. Been going to Jay McCracken for years because he's efficient and a sweetheart and really knows his stuff. He also mixes the music for the place, and it's always spot on ... really creates a vibe. Sergio is another favorite, calm, cool, collected. I could go on, but bottom line ... check out Drynk, ask for Jay or Sergio. Regardless, you'll have a great time, good experience, and become a regular when you can.

I really can't go more than a simple Yelp Three Star OK, and that is stretching it, for Drynk Bar & Lounge. It has great potential and I really like the place, but for right now it's just not ready to be open. There are a number of favored drinks not in stock like Bombay Gin, garnishments missing like onions for Gibsons and the bartenders are still trying to figure out where the bottles are located and how to run the cash register. It now takes three of them. Their Web-Site indicates they have a menu or food offering, but they do not. At least not yet. Then there was no Martini menu and the so-called back patio is nothing but an ugly litter pile of a mess. I think Yelper Tim had it right when he stated Drynk was in its "soft opening" stages. In case you're not from the area and don't know what a soft opening is, it is when the customer pays to train the staff, pays full price but gets less than half the service. It's also a good way to ruin the reputation of a place before it even gets going. Other than all of those drawback negatives, and that is a lot of them, I love the décor, the atmosphere and overall ambiance of Drynk. I had a Crown Royal Manhattan and they really did it right even using a real Maraschino Cherry; I think maybe Luxardo. I also had a really good Hendricks Gin (as an alternative to the Bombay they didn't have) with cucumber slice martini at $14.00 and though with no two-four chips, I would say fair in price for a Hendricks. Adding to the good drinks is the professional and polite attitudes of what is a top notch bartender staff. Now if they would just get over this "soft opening" crap they are doing without souring all of their customers and getting a bad name from the very beginning, I think they'll really have a great place; a real winner. I look forward to visiting Drynk when they are open in full operations and actually ready to do business. It really has all the potential of being an outstanding Five Star, but not just yet.

This is the best bar in Wilton for craft cocktails and a drinking experience. The vibe is upscale but without the attitude. The drinks are always made to order and are worth the price. The outdoor deck is great for small gatherings and intimate get togethers. The smoked old fashioned is my favorite drink in Wilton. Go here. Go here often.

Recently moved from Manhattan to Fort Lauderdale and had the pleasure of experiencing Drynk. I'll make this short and sweet, whenever I have friends in town the first place I take them to is Drynk. First off I order them a round of their Smoked Bourbon cocktail (definitely lives up to the hype) then it's off to the amazing patio which always illicit's "oh wow!" Drynk is now one of my favorites; great drinks, great bartenders and staff and a very friendly clientele.

Unique upscale vibe. Always and interesting crowd. Amazing craft cocktails. Great bartenders.

Totally fun atmosphere! Seems a little bit more classy, but in a good way. We came on a Monday around 4 PM and it was not that crowded. But that just means that the awesome wait staff got to pay more attention to us. They said they had a couple trainees who are waiting on us at the end of the night and we complemented them immensely because we cannot even tell they were training, we told them we like vodka and fruity drinks and they gave me the best blueberry drink!! Totally a gay bar, but didn't matter!! The best vibes
