DrYnk Bar & Lounge

DrYnk is the polished, grown-up star of Wilton Manors, an intimate craft-cocktail bar and lounge on Wilton Drive that many regulars name as the single best bar in gay Fort Lauderdale. Inside is all warmth and low light: dark velvet walls, fireplaces, plush seating, and a slightly voyeuristic big screen streaming the patio out front. Out back, "The Backyard" is a lush, palm-dotted garden escape with a fire pit for cooler Florida evenings. The real draw is the drinks: genuinely accomplished craft cocktails from cute, talented bartenders, from an award-winning smoked old fashioned to bright, refreshing kiwi, passionfruit and cucumber martinis. Stylish but unpretentious, it flows effortlessly from carefree afternoon happy hours into late nights out, and makes the classy anchor of a Wilton Drive bar crawl.
