Palm Room

Overview

Palm Room sits right on the Las Olas strip and leans hard into its Florida identity – think retro decor, warm dimmed lighting, plush bar seating, and cocktails served in croc shoes with plastic alligator garnishes. It reads as a cocktail lounge that doubles as a sports bar, with plenty of TVs for catching games and a DJ spinning on busier nights. The drink menu goes deep into creative territory. The Trophy Wife blends Don Julio tequila with rhubarb, watermelon, hibiscus, lime, and agave. The Pond Water arrives with a “buzz button” that delivers a tingling sensation worth experiencing firsthand. The Brown Derby and frozen Irish Coffee both get praised for their balance, and the house Croc Shot has a following of its own. Pricing lands in reasonable territory for Las Olas, which is saying something on a boulevard known for its markups. The crowd skews mixed and diverse – groups of friends, tourists exploring the strip, and locals who have quietly made this a regular spot. Weekend nights draw a heavier crowd with the DJ pushing the energy up, while weekday evenings keep things more conversational and laid back. Outdoor seating gives you a perch on Las Olas if you want to people-watch. Service gets strong marks overall, with bartenders described as fun, approachable, and efficient even when the bar fills up. The bar manager Candice and bartender Toni both get called out by name in reviews, which usually signals a staff that cares about regulars. Palm Room opens at 5 PM on weekdays and noon on weekends, running until 3 AM on Fridays and Saturdays for anyone looking to close out a Las Olas night properly.
