I’ve waited a month to write this because I don’t post reviews out of emotion. As the founder of Broward Bucket List, I make it a point to highlight and celebrate Broward businesses, so writing something negative isn’t something I take lightly. I wanted to be sure that how I felt that night was how I still feel. It is. We arrived at Boardroom around midnight on September 26th turning into September 27th. While I was at the bar, the female bartender called me a b**** in front of a room that was almost entirely men. When I asked her, “Did you just call me a b****?”, she didn’t apologize or say I’d misheard. She confirmed it. I didn’t argue or make a scene. I simply didn’t feel comfortable staying, so I left and ordered an Uber. What hurt most was what came next. She followed us outside and continued to confront the man I was with while I waited for my ride. She went out of her way to make an already uncomfortable situation worse, in front of other people. I’ve been part of South Florida’s hospitality and nightlife scene for years, and I have never been made to feel that way at a venue. Everyone deserves to feel safe and respected when they walk into a bar, especially a woman standing in a room full of men. I truly hope management looks into this and makes sure no other guest has this experience. Until then, neither I nor Broward Bucket List can recommend Boardroom to anyone.

Three seconds into our first visit we were made to feel like longtime friends. What an incredible collection of people who made new Floridians (and our dog) feel like family. Great vibes and conversation, zero pretentiousness, very good prices. We will be back!
The owner is such an amazing person! I wouldn’t want to spend my money elsewhere. If I could give him 10 starts I would.
A fantastic place. The spirit of "Real America" lives here on the outskirts of a big city. We were especially pleased with the bartenders, who always know when to make a joke and when to say something sincere to raise their spirits.
Came in with a local girl who said it was a fun place. She was pretty drunk, I was not. Her attitude was crap but the bar handled her with grace and style. Love the Marvel vibe. Loved the regulars that didn't judge me because of my company. Will definitely roll through again. Thanks for the laughs.
What an awesome place the owner took his memorabilia from the 70s and decorated this place like no other I mean it is better than the bars in Key West! Sorry, Kevin
Great neighborhood bar full of friendly locals and so much interesting stuff to look at -- the owners, Dave and Kris, are darlings. Lemongrass! BOARDROOM -- best lemon drops!
