About D’s Sports Bar

D’s Sports Bar occupies a storefront on South Federal Highway in the heart of Fort Lauderdale, pairing a casual-trendy sports bar atmosphere with food and drinks that aim higher than the typical bar-and-grill formula. Owned by the same operator behind a more upscale sibling restaurant next door, D’s splits the difference, expect wall-mounted screens positioned for easy game viewing alongside craft cocktails like the Rio Spritz, Old Smokey bourbon, and the dangerously drinkable Rumjito.

The bar program is the consistent standout. Guests single out the cocktail list as a clear notch above standard sports bar fare, and the bartenders here earn repeat mentions by name. Regulars ask for Fay, Abigail, Nicole, and Jasmin, and the service pace keeps up even when the bar fills with groups watching a game.

The kitchen menu leans elevated pub food: wagyu empanadas, smash burgers, wings with a house rollercoaster sauce, chicken Milanese sandwiches, and a ribeye that guests describe as melt-in-your-mouth tender. Happy hour sliders get frequent shout-outs. Opinions on portions and execution vary, some guests call the smash burger the best they have ever had, while others wish it came juicier, but the red velvet cake draws near-universal praise as a legitimate dessert highlight worth saving room for.

D’s draws a mix of locals, out-of-towners, and groups looking for a spot that feels polished without the formality of a full sit-down restaurant. Solo diners are comfortable at the bar, and the staff makes a point of engaging walk-ins and first-timers. Reservations are accepted for busy nights. Hours skew evening-only, Monday and Thursday through Sunday, with Tuesday and Wednesday dark, so plan accordingly.

Overall, I chose five stars, with a couple of things that sound like I should have chose 4 stars. The parking situation is probably driven by the city, so the $12 minimum for valet may be a good value, if you stay for a while. The $17 cocktail was a little steep and matched with…
