Since 1973, Southport Raw Bar has been quietly perfecting the art of the South Florida waterfront experience. On the Intracoastal Waterway just south of Las Olas, this nautical dive bar with a dockside patio has been a local institution for over 50 years — and the formula hasn’t changed because it doesn’t need to. Fresh steamed clams, conch fritters, mahi tacos, and raw bar staples served alongside cold beer and wine, with live music seven days a week and free boat dockage for anyone arriving by water. Time Out calls it a “cozy nautical dive” with some of the best Intracoastal views in the city. Locals have been coming for generations. You’ll understand why within five minutes.
