Description

Bokamper’s is a large waterfront sports bar on the Fort Lauderdale Intracoastal with wall-to-wall TVs, craft drinks, and dock access. Best for groups watching games and anyone who wants bar food with a boat-parade view.

Overview

Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway near Fort Lauderdale Beach, combining a sprawling indoor sports-viewing setup with a waterfront outdoor bar where yachts cruise past while you eat. The interior is enormous – enough seating that groups rarely feel cramped – and the TV count borders on absurd, covering every wall so you can track multiple games at once during football Sundays, hockey playoffs, or any other multi-sport night. The outdoor bar area facing the water is the real draw for regulars, with dock access for boaters and a water taxi stop making it reachable without a car. Food runs bigger and more ambitious than the typical sports bar. The double smash burger with American cheese gets repeat orders, the lobster rolls come generously loaded, and the kitchen also turns out filet mignon, stone crab chowder, ribs, sushi, and a Cobb salad large enough to be a full meal. Happy hour covers both drinks and food, and regulars flag the craft beer selection, cocktails – the green tea shot has a following – and a surprisingly solid wine list with crisp pours of Chardonnay. Bartenders like Sabrina and Cheyanne are name-checked constantly by guests for remembering drinks and keeping the energy up even when the outdoor bar is standing two-deep on weekends. Service at the tables can be slower during peak hours, particularly on busy Sundays when the staff gets stretched thin across the large footprint, so grabbing a seat at the bar tends to be the faster play. The crowd skews toward groups and tourists on weekends, but solo diners settle in comfortably at the bar during weekday happy hours. Free parking is available on a first-come basis – a genuine perk this close to the beach. The space also hosts private dining and events, including VIP dockside tables during the Fort Lauderdale Winterfest Boat Parade. Open daily from 11:30 AM, closing at midnight most nights and 11:30 PM on Sundays.

Is there parking at Bokamper’s?

Bokamper’s offers free parking on a first-come, first-served basis, which is a notable perk given its location near Fort Lauderdale Beach. You can also arrive by boat and dock at the restaurant, or take the water taxi – Bokamper’s is a designated stop.

Can I sit outside with a water view?

Yes, the outdoor bar and seating area faces the Intracoastal Waterway with views of passing yachts and boats. The outdoor section is the most popular area, especially on weekends, so plan to arrive a bit early if you want a waterside seat.

Is Bokamper’s only for watching sports?

Sports are the main attraction with TVs covering every surface, but the waterfront setting, full food menu, and cocktail program make it work for casual dinners, happy hour meetups, and special events like the Winterfest Boat Parade. Solo diners also frequent the bar on quieter weekday afternoons.
