Stache Drinking Den

Overview

Stache Drinking Den operates behind a daytime coffee shop facade on SW 2nd Avenue in downtown Fort Lauderdale, revealing its true identity Thursday through Saturday from 8 PM to 4 AM. Step inside and the speakeasy concept hits immediately – low lighting, cozy seating, and a bar wall that climbs three stories tall with a selection deep enough to keep even dedicated whiskey aficionados exploring for months.

The main floor hosts the stage and primary bar, where skilled bartenders mix rotating daily concoctions built on fresh, seasonal ingredients alongside a strong classic cocktail repertoire. Old Fashioned devotees will find the staff happy to riff on the formula with creative twists. A 2-for-1 happy hour takes some of the sting out of the mid-range pricing. Head upstairs for a second bar, a separate lounge that overlooks the stage below, and a pool table tucked into what regulars call the den.

Live music anchors most nights, with acts ranging from DJs spinning dance sets to touring artists drawing dedicated crowds. The venue shares a wall with Revolution Live next door, making the block a natural launch pad for an evening out. On bigger nights the energy builds steadily – expect a mix of local regulars and visitors who stumbled onto one of downtown’s less obvious spots. Groups and corporate parties book Stache regularly, and the outdoor seating area offers a street-level view of the Flagler Village corridor.

Food rounds out the experience with a menu guests describe as genuinely good rather than an afterthought. Between the atmosphere, the drinks program, and the rotating entertainment calendar, Stache rewards repeat visits without feeling like the same night twice.
