The Historic Downtowner's Restaurant

Decent Essays
On the south side of the Tarpon River in Fort Lauderdale, Florida is the Historic Downtowner Saloon. Recreated into today’s pub in 1978, the Downtowner sits on the location of the Maxwell Arcade which was destroyed during the 1926 hurricane. Situated on River Drive, near the Andrews Avenue Bridge, the saloon is the perfect location to watch the lighted boat and yacht parade.

The Downtowner offers a wonderful pub-style atmosphere with seating inside and outside along with a beautiful riverfront view. Along with riverside tables, the saloon also has a quaint courtyard area with secluded seating. The locals love the selections of appetizers, soups, salads, and main dishes like seafood tacos. Visitors can enjoy downing drinks like Blueberry Mint
