UPDATE 05/06/2023 - Changed from 2 to 5 stars! Went last night and the team has addressed the staffing issues. Smoked old fashioned was wonderful, and the service top notch. Outdoor area was beautiful and a great crowd. 5 stars! Review from DEC 2022: The setting is great - especially the back patio which is beautiful. The cocktails can be good, but it can depend on the bartender. Something has changed with this place - rude, disinterested bartenders. I know it’s busy, but don’t take it out on us ! Got yelled at for not naming a vodka. Stick with the outdoor bar/staff.

Great spot! Bar staff is friendly! Super cute back patio.

Such a great spot! Everyone is so friendly and the staff is there is so incredible and make you feel so welcomed. The vibe there is chill and it’s a great place to hangout with friends or to even meet new ones. The drinks are incredible as drynk may be the coolest cocktail bar I’ve ever been to. Me and my boyfriend rarely go out and now when we do we’re always going to stop at drynk!

Always an amazing experience. Staff is top notch on their specialty drinks. The bar is always clean and ready for a picture perfect moment in any area of the establishment! Byron, Brendan, Brandon, Jeremy, Aaron, and Frank are always great to see smiling around the place. I love to come here often and just relax with friends.

Just a quick note on my last visit to your fantastic bar, that always puts a smile on my face. The atmosphere of this facility is very relaxing and always festive. I would like to shout out for your awesome Bartender Frank. I had to be hospilized on my visit to Fort Lauderdale this trip and therefore could not drink alcohol. Frank came to my rescue my making me a fantastic mock cocktail that not only looked awesome but also was healthy and tasted great. I will always highly recommend your fine establishment.

One of my favorite places on the drive. Specially because of Sergio who is always pleasant and Juan who always makes everyone feel important. Overall everyone is great, recommend to go and enjoy great drinks "smokey old fashioned-Basil Hayden". Thanks for your excellent service.

Love the vibe and the patio music is the perfect volume.

We stopped in for a drink the night before our cruise. Wonderful venue. The rear patio was so pleasant. I’ve served was great.

This is hands down the best bar in Wilton Manors. The elevated environment, spectacular craft cocktails and servers and bartenders who make you feel at home are all outstanding. Special shout out to Tobias, Juan, Alex, Aaron and Matteo. Wish I knew all the other fantastic severs and bartenders by name.

We had great time at Drink. The bartender Frank made amazing drinks and provided great service. Definitely coming back!

The drinks are good, the ambiance has some style. The crowed is happy and the price os the drinks are super low, so, it is more than fair.

Nice bar & lounge check out the back patio is so nice and cute

The service was great, the salad was delicious, the drinks quenched my thirst, and the atmosphere was pleasant.

Best smoked old fashioned ever!!! Love the decor inside. It gets crowded-is a small space and there is a real fire place!!!def going back.

My favorite bar in Fort Lauderdale with an amazing backyard area a nice chill atmosphere where you can actually socialize and one of their bartenders Frank is so nice and personable definitely recommend this place anytime I have friends or family are visiting from out of town!

Drynk is my cheers. Frank has been awesome and personal. Mat,Juan and Tiny are extremely nice. Networking is great...thank you Drynk for four years of experience.

Either start off your evening in a chill environment with great lay back, welcoming attitude, or end your evening in that same chill environment. Great staff, insanely good martinis, nice lay back music in the background bar seating, table seating, couch seating. A mixed-age crowd, but everyone is friendly and welcoming. I just love this place! Here’s an update (08/25/23). While it can be a great place to chill with friends, some evenings it’s busy and crowded. Still, that lay back friendly atmosphere is obvious. Lots of chatter and laughter. All good. Still my favorite place. Great friendly staff, remarkably talented mixologists. Truly to be put on your list.

In my 26 years of life, I haven’t had a better bartender than Frank. Truly the greatest, very personable and knowledgeable! Thank you Frank for making this experience so memorable for us <3

Loved this place! They have a great outdoor space that is very inviting!

Wonderful place! The drinks were great and our bartender Frank did a lovely job. He was very busy but still made us amazing drinks and made up for the longer wait with his great personality! Definitely recommend!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Frank is hands down one of the best bartenders at Drynk. Super friendly, fast, and makes amazing drinks. He keeps the vibe fun and the energy high. If you see him behind the bar, grab a seat, you are in good hands.

Excellent back patio with amazing service. Happy hour options are fair and reasonable

Drynk isn’t just a bar—it’s a vibe. Step out onto their patio and suddenly you’re not in the heart of Wilton Manors anymore. You’re in some lush little hideaway where the world slows down and the drinks are just right. It’s honestly one of the best-kept secrets on the Drive. What makes it special? The energy. Whether you roll in wearing shorts and sandals or a full suit straight from a boardroom, you’ll feel right at home. It’s that rare kind of place where no one’s trying too hard, but everything still feels elevated. Chill when you need it. Fun when you want it. And that patio? Chef’s kiss. A perfect escape without ever leaving town.

Love DrYnk anytime but especially when master mixologist Frank is behind the bar. He asks the right questions and then whips up an amazing cocktail perfectly suited to your tastes. It absolutely doesn't get any better.

Wow. What more needs 2 be said. The vibe is amazing! Bartenders Zach and Trey and barnack Dakota were so knowledgeable on every drink we asked about. Super friendly. Amazing personalities. Definitely recommend for Amazing drinks and vibes!

Amazing !! Went for a friends Graduation surprise party and the mangers and staff were so helpful they set it up perfect❤️ the patio is so beautiful and whimsical we had such an amazing time … definitely check it out

Hands down, Drynk is the heartbeat of Wilton Manors nightlife! Whether you’re looking for a chill cocktail after work, a fun night out with friends, or just a place to feel seen, welcome, and vibing—Drynk delivers every single time. From the moment you walk in, the energy is infectious and the service is top-tier. Sal, the manager, runs the place like a well-oiled machine but with heart. You can tell he truly cares about creating an experience, not just a night out. He’s always checking in, making sure everyone feels welcome, and somehow remembers faces like magic. It’s rare to find management that’s both professional and personable—Sal is that and more. And don’t even get me started on the bartenders—Caleb and Zach are absolute stars behind the bar. Not only are they lightning fast (even when it’s packed), but they mix some of the best drinks in town and serve them up with genuine charm and wit. They somehow manage to keep the energy high, remember your drink order, and make you feel like you’ve known them forever—all at the same time. Caleb’s cocktails? Flawless. Zach’s sass and smile? Unmatched. The space itself is gorgeous—modern yet cozy, with music that keeps you moving without drowning out conversation. The crowd is a perfect mix of friendly locals and fun visitors, and the outdoor patio is a total vibe, especially under the lights. Whether you’re a regular or just popping in for the first time, Drynk has a way of pulling you in and making you want to come back again and again. Huge props to Sal, Caleb, and Zach for making it a standout in the Manor.

Our first time here. Consider yourself very fortunate if Frank is your bartender - SO witty, talented & shares great stories about the Amazing liquors they pour! From smoky old fashioned to spicy margaritas…we are sold! What a fantastic place!

No food is served here but I was told I am allowed to order food while I have some drinks. Great place, nice people, wonderful drinks.

This is my go to choice in the neighborhood. I like to bring friends and family here it’s got a great atmosphere. I love the back garden and I love the energy. There’s always people there to talk to and laughed with. And again is such a better value than Fort Lauderdale. You can go here and we had drinks for four people for under 60 bucks! You can’t do that in downtown Fort Lauderdale or at the beach! I just saying!🤷🏽‍♀️We didn’t have to wait for a table. We got lucky in the back near the bar. A group was just leaving so that was a bonus. So to summarize if you want to have a great time, great company and a great value. I’d say come to Drynk in Wilton Manor. You can’t mess with this vibe. We didn’t have food, maybe next time. I forgot to mention the bartender was able to make that hot New drink, Hugo spritz! The girls loved it. They said it was very tasty… myself I stuck with my Apperal spritz my favorite refreshing summer cocktail 😋

Another great afternoon at Drynk! Best place on the drive! Frank is incredible!

New hottest gay bar in Wilton Manors with nice bartenders & good drinks. Great atmosphere, best patio, chill vibes. The Amy Winehouse image in the bathroom is so cool.

Service was AMAZING, and so were the drinks! Frank made our experience unbelievably fun and special, and we cannot wait to come back again. Pro tip: try the espresso martinis made specifically by Frank!

Smoked old fashion was great. Great place for cocktails. Chill vibe. The out door patio was comfortable to sit out in even on a hot summer night.

DrYnk is that speakeasy lounge with dark woods and a fire-a-cracklin’. The vibe is warm and embracing and elegant without the pretentious overtones of compliance. Smoked old fashioned is the specialty. Cocktails are crafted and curated and bespoke. You have to stop in. You won’t be sorry.

A great atmosphere and drink selection I have tried their special Smoked Old Fashioned and it was an interesting choice!

Great bar with great customer service. All the barmen are great, but Sergio and Jay are my go to guys whenever I'm there. I've been going out in Wilton for a while and I never miss out on starting my night at Drynk.

Had a great time at this bar! The atmosphere is laid-back but lively, perfect for hanging out with friends or just relaxing after work. The drinks were well-made and reasonably priced. What really stood out though was the service. Sal, the manager, was incredibly sweet and welcoming. He checked on us a few times to make sure everything was perfect, and you can tell he genuinely cares about his customers having a good experience. It’s rare to find that kind of personal touch these days. Darquin who was our server was also very sweet and attentive. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to soon!

I love this place. Bars are a dime a dozen in Fort Lauderdale. What is not common is the staff. Juan and Aaron are wonderful servers. Of course, the stand out is Frank. He turns what would be another bar in the city into the destination for adult fun. He is personable, engaging, and makes you feel at home. We come to Drynk, multiple times a week, for Frank and the other staff. Thanks Drynk for making a real life Cheers bar! A place where they know your name and legitimately care.

Five Stars for Frank – The Maestro of Mixology at Drynk! 🍸 If you’re heading to Drynk and don’t sit at Frank’s bar, you’re seriously missing out. Frank isn’t just a bartender—he’s a master of his craft, a great conversationalist, and the kind of person who makes the entire experience unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, Frank made us feel like VIPs. His energy is magnetic—welcoming, witty, and completely tuned in. Whether he’s recommending the perfect cocktail based on your vibe or crafting something completely off-menu (which I highly recommend letting him do), his skill and creativity shine through in every pour. The drinks? Flawless. Balanced, beautiful, and served with flair. But what really sets Frank apart is his ability to read the room, connect with guests, and make the night feel like an experience rather than just a stop for drinks. He remembers names, preferences, and somehow keeps everything flowing smoothly even when the bar is packed. Frank is the kind of bartender that turns casual customers into regulars and turns a night out into a memory. Drynk is lucky to have him—and so are the patrons who get to sit at his bar. Cheers to Frank—keep shaking things up! 🥂

Great place for drinks. Friendly bartenders and the bar is quality in the buildout and decor. Back deck is just a great spot too!

Clean bar, drinks are pricier as they are a little better than most on the Drive. This is a place to look at the drink menu and try something new. The smell of smoke makes it special as their smoke drinks are very yummy. Staff is great till it's busy, but there's not much space to move when busy. If you go here, don't miss out on their hidden patio in the back.

Drynk is a fancy place to get your cocktail on. The staff is always friendly, it's clean and cute, and the bartenders craft amazing custom cocktails.

Nick was an angel! 😇 The drinks were so good (espresso martini on point) and the outdoor tables on the drive give a great vantage point for people watching while the back bar feels sexy and exclusive while being inviting and fun…I’m not sure I should spoil the secret bc it’s perfect the way it is but I do highly recommend this spot!

My favorite bar to frequent. I will always bring my friends to show them the back patio and to meet my favorite server Griffen, he always welcomes my foreign friends with a smile.

Without a doubt the best gay spot to get a cocktail in Lauderdale. Cozy and comfortable atmosphere, good bar staff and great selection of liquor.

Amazing service! Frank is the absolute best and makes amazing specialty smoked old fashions. Definitely worth stopping in and enjoying the vibe.

We didn't eat here. Drinks were great and strong plus great prices. Bartenders were amazing and the atmosphere was good and very loud. Outside space was beautiful and private. Must go

Perfect for a night out. Recommended to me by a fine gentleman named Anthony Ricciardi. Awesome atmosphere,eclectic group,felt like a local popular bar feeling.... What better way to spend a night

The frozé was amazing and the bartender that served us was nice and attentive (and cute as an added bonus).

This was my first time here from Texas, and Frank was AWESOME!!! He made the visit so enjoyable and fun!! Easily my favorite bartender

Great bar in Wilton Manors. Staff are super friendly and drinks are very good, especially the gin martini. It's great to have a nice garden area out the back which has it's own small bar. Can get very busy but has a really fun atmosphere, definitely worth a visit if in the area, one of the best bars in the area.

+1

You go for one cocktail, and you stay for hours. Amazing atmosphere and hand crated cocktails. Highly recommend the espresso martini.

Great bar in Wilton Manors, the area in the back is magical if you go there at dusk, nice lighting and beautiful plants all around. Inside is nice as well and the decor is tasteful. Friendly people for the most part too!

When I want to sit with friends in a nice area, enjoy a drink, and chat, I specifically choose this place. Their back area is beautiful, with well-done lighting and a bit of light music that isn't overwhelming. During the colder months, they light a bonfire, and the seating is comfortable. Plus, the drink prices are reasonable. This is one of my favorite spots on the drive.

Best of the Best. Nothing compares to this LGBTQ+ cocktail lounge of Wilton Manors. From the management to the service. Top notch servers like Andy, Vinnie, and Nick and the best Mixologist you'll ever find around Frank.

+6

We randomly walked into this bar to try out local beer and… This bar became our world’s favorite bar. We’ve been to many countries and bars. Heimer and Robert, who were serving us, made this bar the world’s best for us. They have a lot of creative cocktails, and great performance. I enjoyed Yakuza (sake based cocktail). My fiancé was never a big fan of whiskey. They listened to him and made the best whiskey cocktail for him. If you like old fashioned, I highly recommend trying their smoked old fashioned. Thank you, Heimer! We will be back.

Every once in awhile a business wins on just their customer support. Drinks here were excellent, and the interior was really nice. But the service was above and beyond. Really appreciate a bartender that takes the time to figure out what you like, and then goes the extra yard to make it right. Well done.

Love this place. Stop in during the day, generally, and just LOVE Frank. He suggests drinks I’ve never had, or have ever heard of and they are ALWAYS excellent. Today I had an espresso martini (at his suggestion, and as always, I was not disappointed Delicious! I was impressed that not only did it have coffee beans as a garnish, but that he added them using tongs. TONGS!!!!! (Not everything should be “hands on!”) Drynk is a class act and a gem among other bars on the drive!

DrYnk is an amazing, cozy bar tucked on the Drive in Wilton Manors. The bar provides a comfortable atmosphere from the moment you enter the establishment. The back patio area is beautiful and lush while the interior is sumptuous and welcoming. We were served by a very pleasant bartender, Frank, who promptly addressed our every need. He went above and beyond to ensure our experience was over-the-top and first class all the way. Our special thanks to Frank for his unparalleled attention to our party. Additionally, thank you DrYnk for providing the highest level of service and cocktails on the Drive!

This is my absolute favorite bar in Wilton Manors. It's a very relaxed atmosphere with men all ages and sizes. I personally enjoy looking at the older men, however there are many younger men too. This old english-style type bar is a great way to unwind after a long day at work. There is an area where there is a electric fireplace with comfortable seating which is a bit separated from the bar area. The bartenders are absolutely phenomenal. The only downside to this place ( which is more of a Wilton Manors problem and not this bar ) is the parking is a REAL challenge. I encourage those who have not been here to give this place a chance.

Extremely friendly staff, always cheerful! Bartenders make amazing cocktails!!! Wow! The back patio is so relaxing and the interior is well designed and beautiful! A great place to meet a friend out for drinks and conversation, or have a date night!!! 💖🏳️‍🌈

Absolutely awesome place to hang for happy hour, meet up with friends, or just to people watch. The service is fantastic and super friendly!

Stopped by for drinks after dinner. Very nice patio area in the back. Meticulously tropical decor.

Drynk is a go-to every time we’re in Wilton Manors. It’s one of the few bars in the area with a refined, masculine-chic vibe. The real star, though, is Frank the bartender who truly makes the place shine. He’s warm, charismatic, and always makes you feel like a regular. We come for the atmosphere, but we stay for Frank

I’ve been to Drynk a few times over the last several months and my favorite bartender by far is Sergio. He always makes me smile and laugh and makes the tastiest drinks! His personality really lights up the bar 🤩

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.

Great vibe, friendly staff, and strong well-made drinks. One of the best spots in Fort Lauderdale to relax and have a good night. Definitely coming back!

First time at this bar and I'm 1000% coming back. Frank our bartender was amazing!!! He was beyond attentive and made beautiful drinks. Very clean place and the atmosphere was welcoming.

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.

Best cocktails in Wilton Manors. Good service and great interior design and patio experience with great lighting at night (I appreciated that as designer). It’s like the most chic place in the village

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.

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

Patricio Soto

Lugar bello y acogedor de alto nivel para saborear buenas preparaciones de 🍸.

Felipe T

Me encanta este bar, en especial el patio es hermoso. Las bebidas son muy buenas, te recomiendo el mojito

My first time. Lovely place and friendly. The bar was clean and welcoming to everyone. The patio outside was good and indoor was kool.

4 stars only because happy hour ends at 8 here. Made it just in time. Great atmosphere and decor. Fantastic outdoor deck. Fun to be out there with friends, however, it did rain so everyone went inside. Sorry I didn't get any pics of the deck. Still a great place to hang out with friends.

Drink used to be my FAVORITE bar in Wilton. They have a great ambiance and the owners have an eye for detail. I have now moved to Apt 9F, I think the fact that Drynk plays CNN news constantly on the TVs, it is ripe for negative fake news. I am tired of the energy around that and it moves through people. I love the bar and feel like it could be much better by thinking about the energy created by the news. Not all Gays are leftists...there are a lot of clients that think differently- lets create an environment of connection and use videos that don't polarize.

The bar has a nice atmosphere, friendly bartender. I came quite early, at 14.40 and the crowd start to come. I imagine that it will be more during the night. A friend order smoked old fashioned and it taste good.

Nice bar. Outfront(-side) and back area seating. Tables and loung are inside along with bar. Good bartenders. Drink prices are reasonable. There is no parking. Find a space out front, across the street or valet out back for $12.

+3

Cool place inside and outside shaded patios drinks are great but not cheap like some other bars in Wilton. No food.

Love this bar. The outdoor area is beautiful and drinks are on point. Repeat customer.

I love this place for a craft cocktail. The ambiance is top notch with gorgeous plants and not too loud music. My favorite is the Smokey old fashion. The only improvement I would like is better customer service because at peak times it’s hard to get a drink sometimes.

Great drinks, we come here every visit though this year the bartender on March 4th at 3:00 could be more friendly less aloof. Service in general in Florida is getting spotty seems to be not as good as it was a few years ago. That's a problem for a state whose economy is mostly based on service and vacationers.

Bueno, bonito y excelente relacion costo-beneficio.

juan diego cortes

Es un bar muy bonito, aunque costoso supongo será por su fama.

I’ve wanted to love this place for a long time and keep trying it. They have a wonderful outdoor patio in the rear with multiple seating and standing arrangements. But, the three most recent visits were very subpar when it comes to cocktails. This is not a dive bar, but the drinks sure did seem like it. Generally speaking, you get what you pay for, but at $15-20 a drink, you don’t here. Stick with a beer instead of a cocktail.

Cool space, but the bartenders were not happy that we came in a larger group. It seemed to be an annoyance that we ordered anything. We put it all on one card so he didn't have to run multiple cards and that seemed to also annoy him.

Went to the bar in the back of the outdoor patio early this evening with a friend when it was only us there. I asked the tall bartender in a friendly way "what drinks you got?". My friend and I felt like we must've said a four letter word by the offended look in his face. It took a while until he felt we were worthy of the drinks menu and then he bestowed it on us. The drink wasn't bad but the greeting left a sour taste.

I’m not sure why, but I can’t shake the feeling that something is missing at this place. The drinks are well crafted and you can tell the bartenders know what they’re doing. However, I do think the prices are a bit high compared to other bars in the area. Overall it’s decent, but it didn’t quite stand out to me the way I expected.

Most Drinks in WM are a flat price. Tab here in $ and cents made our group stop and wonder why. Here sales tax on top of a flat price. A turn off to deal with change. It causes customers to think twice about a higher tip. Flat prices welcomes an even tip in additional dollars. Weak tonight drinks unless u know a bar tender, always a heavier pour when your greeted and known. Wonder how bars serve a good drink and charge a flat $3 and $4 dollars across WM. Crowd was low night before Thanksgiving. Plenty of seats. What happened to Erin and Frank?

Sergio, the bartender was so rude…the bar can’t have someone like him working there, someone who treats customers badly.

I hope Sergio doesn't serve you at the bar! A mess and very rude.

Be careful with sergio! The bartender so rude and the manager as well

María Paz Venegas palma

Sergio es un mal educado
