I had only been to this bar once before, and remember it being dark, dingy, and very smoky inside. They have improved the place a lot. Now they do not allow smoking inside. The place is much brighter. I think they replaced the floors too.
They also have several craft beers on tap, which I don't think they had before. I sipped on an Abita Purple Haze (2 for 1 price: $6.25) while we watched FSU vs. Maryland (they host the Broward Seminole Club during FSU games). Not bad.
Nice staff. I didn't eat but my friend got a burger and said it was pretty good. Check out Slackers if you haven't been in awhile.
The other night, we came here again wanting their chicken wings and were ignored for 20 minutes until they brought us menus and took our drink orders. Drinks came out, we were ready to order and were forgotten about -- again. I began to feel like they expected us to eat the menus. Minus one star to the slackers that Slackers employs, and plus one star to us for learning our lesson to steer clear of this dump. Instead, we brought our business over to Duffy's on 17th street where they had the pleasure of collecting our money.
Review Source:Last Sunday was my first time here. I found this location on <a href="/redir?url=http%3A%2F%2Fpackers.com&s=cb57f690101c653a207bfcb72f4bca3134a1c5afaf6b164a3b6299c4934de9bc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://packers.com</a> and went to see the GB Packer game - heard it was a Green Bay bar. Excited to find fellow packers in the greater Miami area, I traveled out there. The place looks amazing, newly renovated and now non-smoking. The owner introduced himself after seeing my friend and I were Packer fans. Very friendly and welcoming. I thought I had found my bar and would have given them 5 stars until we starting ordering off the menu. While I understand the appitizers are smaller plates, we ordered a few hoping to munch throughout the game. But the portions were SO SMALL for such a HIGH price! Only 4 chicken fingers to start then still being hunger we ordered the chicken nachos thinking this would be a mountain of nachos and perfect for our halftime cravings. To our shock, only EIGHT, yes 8 nachos appeared on the plate. For $9 I thought I would get a decent amount. After ordering more chips and rationing our toppings we were obviously still hungry. I was really disappointed in the food selection for a sports bar especially during football season. Not sure I will become a regular or not based on food but this place seems to have so much potential!
Review Source:They are now nonsmoking with some outside tables at night to smoke at. They now have a brand new menu with a lot better selection and 20 beers on tap!! great service and great people. Lots of TVs so you will find the game you are looking for.
2-4-1 from 2-7 and 10-close!
This place ROCKS!
Showed up early for UFC night. Had a great seat in front.
Ate an ok Steak Meal . A third of way through the fights, waitress taps me on shoulder and says I gotta move to back of the bar because they like to reserve the front section for any groups that might come to watch UFC.
I took this to mean groups of more than one who will be buying beer all night, unlike me.
The back equals two screens playing Football. So I spend the rest of the evening looking at the fights sideways from a distance cause of where I was placed.
I do understand the financial reason for reserving the best seats for groups of more than one. But the fact is I came early, I spent my cash like everyone else.
This is my first and last Slacker sports bar experience.
Based on the principles of marketing, I'd rather give this place no stars. Â
Their website advertises at least two steel-tip dart boards. Â They don't exist.
Drink specials are non-existent and the jalapenos in the jalapeno poppers were chopped. Â Yes, you read that right. Â Unless my idea of a GOOD jalapeno popper is skewed, I should have a darn-near entire jalapeno in my mouth whether I like it or not after taking that first bite from the popper. If I wanted breaded cheese product I'd order some mozzarella sticks. Â Frankly, those probably suck here too. Â Service was ok, Â but slow so I'll attribute that to the one star. Â Very little ventilation for such a big place, so it filled with smoke very rapidly and it wasn't even that crowded.
Also, there was a blow-up skeleton with a blow up cat hiding in the corner under one of the TV's....they were positioned in a 69. Â If it weren't for yelp's rules, I'd offer some of my personal views using proper profanity. Â
Since they offer a pilot's night here, I'll put it into terms that they can understand. Â Going here is like shooting an NDB approach. Â You can do it, but why would you want to when you have so many other BETTER options?
At first glance, Slacker's appears to be another South Florida sports bar, albeit a nicer one that is VERY serious about its TVs. Go for game day or fight night and that's exactly what you'll get, a vibrant, pleasant, slightly loud neighborhood bar experience populated largely by locals. To only experience Slacker's on those terms, however, is an opportunity largely wasted, because hot damn, these guys do not slack. Not content to simply let their bar exist and chug along, Slacker's owners and staff have risen to the task of programming events seven days a week. From trivia Wednesdays to karaoke Tuesdays to live music on Fridays, there's something going on every night of the week. Poker tourneys, pool league, drink specials for teachers, XBOX and Wii for the kids, individually controlled flat-screens at each table, Slacker's really does go out of its way to be all things to all people. When they first opened, I thought it was too much, that they'd burn out, that they should just pick a standard bar trope and stick with it. Over a year later and they've made me eat my words, not only surviving but thriving in a location that depends on strong relationships with the surrounding Marina Mile area. Speaking of eating, their kitchen started strong and strengthened from there, serving bar-food classics which rise above bar-food quality, along with several nods to the sea given that it's less than a mile from Port Everglades. Drinks are affordable, potent, and frequently on special, so don't forget to ask. Is Slacker's the perfect bar? Nope, but it's pretty damn good, and if ever there was a case of deserving an A for effort, this is it.
Review Source:While visiting Fort Lauderdale with my husband last week, he wanted to catch the Heat vs. the Mavericks' fifth game, but because we weren't in New York, we had no idea where to go.
As tourists, we did ask around, but nothing seemed to catch our attention.
We wanted to somewhat feel like we were home, so I depended on the help of Yelp, and it brought us to Slackers Bar & Grill. It was located amongst many other little shops, kind of like a mini-mall, and was somewhat hard to find.
Once we stepped in, I knew that we had made the right choice. Very large bar area, many tables all around, mini flat-screens screwed onto the walls, about 4-5 large projectors hung from the ceilings, perfect for all the big games.
Service was great. Kylie was friendly and made sure that we were happy throughout the night. Their mozzarella sticks were awesome! Although she made a mistake on both of our orders, my hubby wanted swiss cheese with his turkey burger, when it arrived no cheese. I ordered a turkey and cheese sub, when it arrived, it was ham. She was sweet enough to void my order.
The only problem I had was that there was way too much smoking. We stayed for the whole entire game, which was close to 3 hours. When we left, it was more like we were smokers ourselves. Our hair, our clothes, all the smoke was stuck to us, pretty disgusting I gotta tell you. I am a New Yorker so I'm used to the no-smoking in bars. Another thing, the fries were way toooooo salty. I couldn't even eat them, ugh.
This place is great for get-togethers, great for games, and great for drinks. We enjoyed it despite of all the smoking.
Slackers Bar & Grill is a great little place you just don't want anyone to know about. It has a few pool tables and a couple of electronic dart boards games to entertain yourself with while the tables are busy. The flat screen tv's are a huge plus which they cover almost every sport event you can imagine. I really like their menu and best of all, the cold cold beers. Keep it up guys.
