The Green Hat Bar is a hidden speakeasy inside Xtreme Action Park in Fort Lauderdale, best for couples and small groups who want creative craft cocktails in a moody, intimate setting.

Overview

The Green Hat Bar is a hidden speakeasy tucked inside Xtreme Action Park on Powerline Road, and finding it is half the fun. There is no obvious sign or entrance – you navigate through the sprawling entertainment warehouse until you locate a secret door that opens with a code. Once inside, the atmosphere shifts completely: dark, moody lighting, warm tones, and curated decor that feels more like a small hip cocktail lounge in New York than anything you would expect next to go-karts and skating rinks.

The cocktail menu leans creative and theatrical. Several drinks arrive with a fire show at the table, and the Gold Rush is rimmed with buzz button plant that produces a tingling, lip-numbing sensation – unusual but completely natural. Guest favorites include the Pecan Old Fashioned, the Stowaway, the Green Hog, and the Revolver. Bartenders here are genuinely knowledgeable, walking guests through the menu and tailoring recommendations to individual taste. Names like Jade and Patrick come up repeatedly in reviews for their craft and personality behind the bar.

The space is deliberately intimate, which means capacity fills quickly – especially after 8:30 PM on weekends. Seating is limited to a handful of bar stools and a couple of small tables, so arriving early is a smart move if you want to sit. A select food menu features pizza that guests speak well of, though most visitors come primarily for the drinks. Pricing lands on the reasonable side for South Florida, with groups of four reporting full tabs around $100 before tip.

The Green Hat works best as a date spot, a small-group outing, or a reward for adults who are already at the park with kids. Some guests have also discovered a scavenger hunt element woven into the experience. Weekend hours extend to 1 AM on Friday and Saturday, while weekday service runs from 4 to 11 PM.
