LaBare — Restaurant in Fort Lauderdale

I accompanied some friends who wanted to go here. We were told the cover charge is $15 for women and $70 men. They definitely didn't get any business from us.

Follow up 07/31/2017: Upon further investigation I found some things that were rather surprising. To being with, as mentioned by their representative's response, the prices are indeed listed on their website, where you can see they are blatantly practicing, with a large degree of disparity I might add, pricing discrimination based on gender; an illegal practice in Florida. More so, as per their website, if you are male, you are prohibited from entering the establishment unless you are accompanied by a woman. This policy too is gender-based discrimination. Now if that wasn't enough, then get ready to be floored. Again, straight from their website........If you show up, and if you are of the male gender, and if you meet their requirement of having a woman with you to be escorted inside, and if you pay the exorbitant discriminatory gender-based cover fee, then.....brace yourself...you must sit down in male-specific zones and are denied free movement throughout the establishment! Yes you read that correctly. If you are a man, you are restricted to certain areas and cannot move about. I have never seen this kind of blatant and transparent discrimination. Look, I understand they are catering to the female demographic, but if a mixed-gender group shows up, they have absolutely no right to treat one gender differently based on their sex; doubly-so for an offense of this magnitude. Now to top this all off, their policy, again, straight from their website, explains a policy which, to me, demonstrates the pinnacle of absurdity. And this is the policy that minors pay a $20 entrance fee! This does not seem like a place for people under 18 to visit at all. I would like to see what their definition of a minor is. Because no persons under 18 years old should be at a place like this which serves alcohol and is practically a strip club. There are some serious issues here which to me raises eyebrows.

With that I leave to the informed reader: should you decide to visit this establishment, and should you be of the male gender, you have been warned. They engage in practices which are, at the very least, unethical, if not illegal. Do not be surprised if you are treated differently.

Follow up 08/01/2017: Jessica. Thank you for clearing up the confusion regarding your usage or the word 'minors'. Normally when someone uses the word it is generally interpreted as a person under the age of 18. Please observe that, as a matter of fact, if you are a public business, (especially one which serves food and drink) it is indeed illegal to discriminate and, more significantly, segregate, patrons based on race, color, national origin, sex, pregnancy, handicap, familial status, and religion, pursuant to F.S. Title XLIV ss. 760.01-760.11 ( particularly ss. 760.08). Now taking into account this, compounding it with your admitted discrimination against males, as well as the publicly posted policies on your website, one can see clearly that you are knowingly engaging in this practice. Also, any reasonable person would have to assume that there is a pattern here as well. I have just a few more questions. What perceived threat is it that you interpret from men that, with such gravity, you deem it necessary to create "safe-zones" in your establishment where they are segregated to? In other words, why would the presence of a person of the male gender make your customers feel unsafe? I would very much like it if you could clear this up for me. Thank you so much for promptly replying. Have...

We went for a bachelorette party 100% recommend paying for their party package. Super cute decorated table for us nice champagne. We had the best night. Joey our waiter was phenomenal assisting us with every detail of our night. The manager was super friendly too- we had some hiccups that were easily smoothed over after bringing it to his attention and they truly wanted us to have a great night if we encountered a problem so that’s A+ service from management on how they handle complaints. The men are fire very entertaining shows. They have atms inside and can break any of your larger bills for singles at the venue. Must do for bachelorettes. I think they were a little short staffed this past weekend so only improvement or feedback I would give to make our experience better would be to have more men working on Saturday night so we don’t need to wait as long for dances So It could get boring and it would be more fun with more guys coming out of every angle of the place instead of waiting our turn which could...

Went to LaBare for a Bach party, IT WAS A BLAST! I do have 1 negative thing, the older lady I think her name was Alma asked for a stage dance for the bachelorette, we said yes then before getting seated down we said we would like a refund which we got, then confused she went on stage, which was amazing but she came with attitude to collect $60, she was utterly rude and disrespectful, Josh was our waiter and let me say we were pretty needy and he was nothing but the best, he’s super sweet and really made our time that much better, entertainers were amazing as well, thank you to all the entertainers and Josh for making my best friend’s Bachelorette party a dream!!!! 10/10 recommend!!! Manager is great dancers are great the DJ...
