In the corner of Victoria Park's Gateway Plaza, find Kim's Alley Bar, a treasured neighborhood dive that's been around for 60-plus years. The brick building is dimly lit, so other than the few neon signs in the windows displaying the words "Cocktail" "Wine" and "Beer", this place would remain a secret. The bar's motto is "Everyone's Bar Everyday", an on point description of the crowd found congregating on the antique bar stools and retro looking floral chairs in the front bar. Kim's Alley Bar also has a secret back room that one would only find if venturing down the dark hallway on the way to the bathrooms. The back bar is the completely different, sunshine yellow painted walls, bright lights, pool tables, and even the occasional hotdog buffet. Kim's Alley Bar has a little something for everyone, even local celebrity Dennis Rodman, who can be spotted having a drink every now and then.

In Fort Lauderdale, you'll be hard pressed to find a bar as deeply connected to one neighborhood as Kim's Alley Bar is to Victoria Park. The pub is also a staple for a lot of city residents regardless of neighborhood -- there's an allure to Kim's that is stronger than a zip code -- but the folks of Victoria Park still love it the best. Everyday from 4:30 p.m. onward, you see locals headed there on foot. That's the best way to go because you can get blind drunk and not need to drive... More »
It's not the ease of getting a cab or the proximity of this bar to a few hotels or some buddy's house in Fort Lauderdale that makes it the best place to get hammered. It's the fact that this one bar is really two and, thus, double the drinking pleasure. Start off in the dark and quiet interior of Side 1, where the regulars gather daily around the grand mahogany bar for happy hour to chat about their workdays, their significant others, or the War Against Terror. Go ahead, order that first... More »
In Fort Lauderdale, you'll be hard pressed to find a bar as deeply connected to one neighborhood as Kim's Alley Bar is to Victoria Park. The pub is also a staple for a lot of city residents regardless of neighborhood — there's an allure to Kim's that is stronger than a zip code — but the folks of Victoria Park still love it the best. Everyday from 4:30 p.m. onward, you see locals headed there on foot. That's the best way to go because you can get blind drunk and not need to drive afterward. Kim's has pool, darts, ping-pong, and a killer jukebox, which makes it easy to lose track of time in this watering hole. The friendly bar staff treats everyone like Norm from Cheers, which isn't easy to achieve in today's rushed society. Kim's is a throwback. They're celebrating their 60th year in business for a reason — they know how to treat their customers right.
