Where You Should Drink: Delray Beach
There are a million bars and restaurants in the Delray area to choose from, but I would caution you in looking at Yelp and other rating services as I have found they are quite skewed in comparison to other big food/bev markets I am familiar with (LA, NYC, San Fran//Napa Etc,,). Places that say 4.6 stars here, may truly only be about a 3.5 in places with more discernible clientele and palettes. Is that me throwing shade about south florida taste and quality? Yes, yes it is. Having said that though, there are some true diamonds out here you’ve just got to know where to look; check out below!
Death or Glory - Probably the best true Bar on this list. Definitely somewhere to go enjoy a few wonderfully crafted cocktails with a cool vibe, talented bartenders and solid food. If you want something classier and craftier, this is your spot!
Pour and Famous - This spot reminds me of my stylish hippy friends basement abode at his frat house back in college. Its inviting, its chic but grungy, its comfortable but raw. That loveable “hipster, don’t give a F***” kind of attitude. Definitely a good little spot that does not get sucked into the touristy trap of being further up on Atlantic Ave.
