Located on Dixie highway just north of Lantana. I wondered in for the first time and met Nem the friendly welcoming bartender. I was surprised to learn that you can smoke at the bar. I noticed the pool table as I made my way to the rear of the bar and encountered a clean restroom.
Definitely not a high-end fancy establishment. More like a hole-in-the-wall what some would call a dive bar. Not a big place and could be easily missed. But kind of cozy and I felt safe & comfortable there. Nice place to stop in for a quick nightcap. It's just a local bar and nothing to write home about. Just being honest, but it's close to home and I would like to stop back and visit them again.
A business is only as good as the people that work there. Friendly professional courteous non pretentious service is what stood out for me. They have karaoke, bingo and various other activities on certain evenings of the week.
Hats off to Nem the bartender. Wandering in for the first time and not knowing anyone there... Nem's customer service and easygoing demeanor, and the fact that it was relatively a quiet evening, (not crowded), not a rowdy kind of bar, made for a pleasant experience.
Of course it was the end of the evening and I called it a night before the midnight hour but Foster' South is open until 2 a.m. I wasn't there long and enjoyed a draft beer and a duck fart. Duck fart: Kahlua, Irish cream and whiskey, in that order, Layered... Tasted better shaken or stirred but I had never had that drink before and found the recipe on YouTube which I shared with Nem who was kind enough to...
Read moreIt would be easy to mistake this little hole in the wall for a sketchy dive bar but you would be dead wrong. It is an absolute gem...a rare neighborhood bar that welcomes newcomers with open arms. This friendly environment is in large part due to the bartenders, Lee and Julie in particular. They are genuinely nice people who not only remember your drink but your name. Everyday of the week is great but you dont want to miss Friday and Saturday kareoke nights with Rockin Roke run by the coolest husband and wife team, Tom and Nicole. They met 20 years ago at a kareoke bar and are just amazing. They really make everyone feel comfortable singing no matter how bad they are...
Read moreI’d give half a star if it’d let me The guy bartending nights with a backwards hat is very disrespectful, bad with time management and definitely hates his job. Would rather play pool then serve customers and leave them waiting while he finishes a game or chats it up with other customers. Lack of respect and commitment to service. Place stinks very bad no ventilation or fans, bathroom looks like it’s never been cleaned, floor is very sticky, and drinks are average price is only thing this place has going for it. All around just a bad atmosphere that I won’t be wasting money on and hope others don’t either. Get a new bartender and this place might be...
