Behind the Bar at Elbo Room

An Iconic Beach Bar Since 1938

The Elbo Room is a cornerstone of Fort Lauderdale Beach, immortalized by the film Where the Boys Are and beloved by generations of locals and travelers. This camera reveals the bar's unpretentious soul from the rare vantage of the staff side of the rail.

A Living Collage of Memorabilia

Every surface tells a story: license plates, faded posters, neon and vintage signage cover the walls, while the curved wooden bar and scattered stools frame the room. The weathered floor and well-loved fixtures speak to decades of good times.

Open to the Atlantic

Looking past the bar, the doorway frames the oceanfront promenade just steps from the sand. The Elbo Room sits at the heart of the vibrant beachfront strip, where the energy of Fort Lauderdale Beach spills indoors.
