Randy SteelMarch 13, 2012This is one of my favorite places. The bartenders are attentive and friendly. They have Stella and Guinness and other beers on tap and a small spattering of micro-brews. Read more
Little NomsterMay 3, 2013This is the place to go for drink specials, burgers, and an excellent Happy Hour on Friday nights! Did I mention the burgers?! It might be one of the best burgers in town, and on Mondays it's only $5!
Tuna burger is excellent. Monday night 5 dollar cheese/hamburgers with any drinks (2for1). Jamaican jerk wings done well too.
Rachel KDecember 2, 2014Crowded bar with a good selection of draft beers, including some local beers. Upstairs there's a game where you can drunkenly swing a hook on a metal fish.
One of the oldest and best eating spots and drinking spots in downtown Fort Lauderdale. Come on Mondays for the $5 burger, one of the best burgers in town.
Fort Lauderdale MagazineAugust 15, 2014Tarpon Bend attracts a lively crowd to munch on in-house smoked fish dip and dolphin Reuben sandwiches. - See more at:

New Times Broward Palm BeachJuly 2, 2013In addition to its numerous drink specials, Tarpon churns out a delicious burger. Check it out on a Monday: the spot offers $5 cheeseburgers with purchase of a beverage.
If you're in the mood for a salad, you can not go wrong withe South West Chicken Salad. ALL the fish sandwiches are fresh and awesome. Big time fav, is the Asian Tuna burger.- Travis BloomJanuary 3, 2015Great price, great taste, great location. If your in town and want seafood in a fun location, this is the spot
Always crowded at happy hour. Monday night is $5.00 #cheeseburger night and #bogo drinks. Tell Allan #RandySteel sent you for special service. #SteelLiving
VisitLauderdaleMarch 28, 2014Make Wed night game night. Come play classic board games or video games on the 11ft projection. $2 PBR’s all night, starting at 8pm.
Nina OkSeptember 29, 2017Oh, the best salad I ordered ever, everything looks great, staff is very friendly :))) I loved this place ;)- New Times Broward Palm BeachAugust 18, 2014Nary a frat house or sorority row in sight, but Tarpon Bend's ample customer base sure looks and acts the part.
Carla JimenezSeptember 1, 2013All speciality drinks, which they called Big FishDrinks not that good, mojito, skinny margarita, pomegranate martini "Pom Tini" Tarpon Bend Coral Gables have a better quality, well done drinks.
2$ Tuesdays ! All draft beer is 2$ from 4 til close at the bar ! Shrimp beef and pork sliders 2$ from 4 til close at the bar !
Clarissa CApril 13, 2013The Mahi Mahi is soo fresh it waters your mouth. Try it as tacos or covered with crab. Definitely go during happy hour.
xelsterDecember 16, 2016Nice selection of beers. Really good food and huge portions. Highly recommend.
Don't be fooled by the craft beer sounding name of Blue Moon. It is actually a product of MillerCoors. Have a Sam Adams or Sierra Nevada instead.
Scott GellmanSeptember 5, 2014Blackened Mahi Mahi was great, especially with the sauce to cool the spice a little.
Jeremiah LawsonJanuary 19, 2013Thai chicken wrap is delicious!! Bloody Mary is good also . Would recommend patio for good outdoor seating
The spicy tomato parmesan soup on Fridays is absolutely delicious. Goes perfect with their grilled cheese.
- VisitLauderdaleJuly 21, 2015Free mimosas and screw drivers for ladies during Sunday brunch 10am-4pm!
- VisitLauderdaleSeptember 22, 2014Pay a little for a lot – get $5 cheeseburgers every Monday after 5PM.
JuDe GarciaMarch 8, 2017I mean it's alright... at one point we had to ask the bartender for a drink even tho our drinks were empty and we placed them in eye view, walked by us like 3 times before we had to ask her...
- VisitLauderdaleMarch 12, 2012Casual lunch spot: love the Southwest tortilla salad and fish sandwich.
JaredOctober 19, 2010Come on Mondays, Cheeseburgers with fries is only $5.00!!! I truly believe it's one of the best burgers in South Florida!
Alberto EspinozaNovember 26, 2011Joe is the best Bartender...and if you ask for calamari say alberto says: sautee...cut the fat out
NathanJune 25, 2012All the locals seems to be ordering meatballs. They're not on the menu, but they look tasty!
Make sure to tip the bartenders well. They remember those things. Bojo loves foreigners also.
Look out for Cindy at the bar. She is the best person a friend can have.
Micah HarrisSeptember 29, 2010Bouncer/Dancer, Eric Bojanowski, loves it when girls, or guys, play with his ling curly hair. He also enjoys conversations about country music- New Times Broward Palm BeachMarch 18, 2011Definitely a go to spot if you are in downtown Laudy. Check for their daily drink specials.
