Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar
A Tommy Bahama shop and island-themed bar on Las Olas Boulevard, with frozen mai tais, poke bowls and weekend afternoon live music.
Checado em novembro de 2026
Good for a lazy Fort Lauderdale afternoon with a frozen drink and a band. The trade-off: it's a polished chain concept attached to a clothing store, so it's pleasant and predictable rather than local.
What to order
The Ahi Poke Bowl and the Crispy Lemon Chicken are the two dishes the bar itself points you to, and they set the tone: island-themed, easy, nothing that needs explaining. The drink is the frozen mai tai, which the menu practically expects you to order twice. Happy hour runs 3 to 5 pm every day, and that's the smartest window if you're pacing an afternoon on Las Olas. We don't have current prices, so check the menu online before you sit down. It's a chain concept. Don't expect surprises; expect consistency.
Weekend afternoons
Live music runs 2 to 5 pm on Friday and Saturday and 1 to 4 pm on Sunday, which overlaps neatly with happy hour. That's the sweet spot: a band, a cold drink and the boulevard foot traffic outside. Weekday lunches are quieter. The doors open at 11 am daily and close at 9 pm, or 10 pm on Friday and Saturday, so this is a daytime and early-evening place, not a nightcap stop. A 4.8 from about 1,650 Google reviews says the formula works for most people who wander in.
The shop attached
This is a Tommy Bahama store and a Marlin Bar under one roof at 740 E Las Olas, so half the visit is linen shirts and the other half is mai tais. That's handy if someone in your group wants to browse while you finish a drink. For a bigger occasion, the bar handles group events, from bridal showers to corporate mixers, with custom menus, live music and even leis if you want them. This location now takes reservations, though walk-ins are part of the Marlin Bar idea.
