You must be intimidating as shit to have scared all the gangs off. Next time I go to that war zone pople call Ft. Lauderdale I want to go with you!
Maybe I was lucky. I do remember, in March 2016 (last time I was visiting Fort Lauderdale) I was staying on the beach and visited this place called The Parrot Lounge. I watched NCAA Tournament basketball games there, and they had some happy hour special selling fried shrimp for $9.99. They were the best fried shrimp I ever had in my life- THEY WERE DANGEROUS, the most dangerous thing I encountered in FL. There were a few guys who looked like they could be biker types in that lounge, but they did not bother me.
The World Famous Parrot has been serving Fort Lauderdale locals and visitors since 1970. If you’re looking for a neighborhood atmosphere with friendly service, you have found us.

BTW, I could be wrong but that might be the hotel I stayed at visible in the background of that photo of the Parrott Lounge. I recall it being close by- I walked there along the road that runs along the beach with all the hotels and restaurants and bars on one side and the beach on the other.
