I was physically assaulted by this extremely aggressive, rude, and super loud security manager. Just like the reviews below, I had heard some horror stories about this unbelievably poorly managed place but still gave it the benefit of the doubt and went there Friday night. I was minding my own business on the floor when this black security guy approached me from behind and delivered his deafening shouts into my ears to move without proving any reason as I was neither blocking anyone nor was I somewhere that had a sign stating not allowed. He was so loud and uncalled for that my heart dropped… During my short presence I saw a lot of illegal things going on at this place including people smoking all kinds of stuff all over the place … there was so much smoke that I needed to get some fresh air. As I was trying to step out for the second time I witnessed how this white security guy who appeared to be the security team’s manager told a lady “F… You” after she entered the club without paying the entrance fee. Needless to say not paying the fee does not justify that kind of language towards a customer regardless. I thought that’s not fair and shared my concern. Then the same black employee started shouting his lungs to my face, insulting me this time. After I told him to stop his utterly aggressive behavior he asked me to leave. I said I’ve already paid the fee and I’m not going to. He then said “you want your money back?” When I said yes he didn’t honor his word and kept insulting me. To my surprise and even though the young guy had seen everything he also told me to leave. I stepped out and asked to speak to a manager. The same white guy was called. After I politely spoke with him he gave me some unacceptable excuses and when I challenged him he started shouting his lungs out using the f word repeatedly. I started recording him but then he changed his language and started lying to the camera that I had caused problems and started to aggressively follow me and get super close to me. If there are cameras in that building which there should be his lies can be easily proven that I had caused problems. He was lying just to justify his unnecessarily aggressive behavior. As I was leaving he kept following me and despite multiple warnings telling him not to touch me he did just that against my consent and wanted to make me angry. He literally assaulted me. On top of everything he had already done he wanted to literally fight me. These people suffer from anger issues and should not have such jobs that can put people’s lives in danger with such behaviors. Anyways, I left to get in my car but he’d sent this other young black guy with long hair to show me some insulting hand gestures as I was leaving the parking lot. This is yet another terrible experience that’s being added to the long list of negative reviews below. I ask my LGBTQ+ fam not to go to this place as they will ruin your night. They are extremely aggressive, terribly rude, and can quickly choose to physically assault you. They don’t hesitate to insult you in any form or shape. They don’t even fake it to be nice and polite. Such a disgrace for Wilton Manors.

Used to frequent this bar as an after party option but never going back. Some dancer pushed me aside for no real reason which then led to another security guard pretend to mop the floor to aggressively bump into my friend. Both my friend and I are under 5’5 and under 120 pounds. When asked to stop this security guard literally punched my friend. His boyfriend jumped in and they were taken out by security. When I went to see what was going on I was then also thrown out. Another security guard was having a conversation with us about reconciling the situation he asked my friend if he was recording, when he said yes the security guard said you can’t do that and literally began throwing punches. Keep in mind this was OUTSIDE, not inside. This was enough for me and police was called. Because I dared to get the cops I’m banned, oh well. Why does boardwalk have these hyper aggressive security guards? This is not a unique event, many people have similar experiences. This is a huge liability and a ticking time bomb. It’s a matter of time before boardwalk closes it’s doors.

Worst experience in Fort Lauderdale. Lazy dancers didn't do anything except sit and talk with there friends. No show. Didn't get up until the bartender made them. What did we pay cover for. Overpriced drink, horrible experience! Left in 10 minutes.

Avoid this place. I found only some OLD hustlers trying to sell "lap dances" and similar trade. I bought one drink then left ASAP!

Nice place to hang out at the bar which is outside. Club is inside and opens at 9. Parking can be a little difficult since the parking lot is small. Otherwise fun place to meet friends.
