New Waterfront bar and restaurant up the New River, Fort Lauderdale.

Did I read this correctly. Pulled into the dock. Went to the Bar. Had a few drinks. Resumed operating boat. Just curious, how many drinks is a few? Three, Four, Five, Six?

This has been under construction for some time now (over a year) and had a soft opening months ago for the vessels and crew @ LMC but I don't think the original concept of this crew bar and restaurant was to seek out the general public but rather more of a burger and beer joint for crew with vessels in the yard like the set up in Rybovich. I don't believe this has morphed into a public dining place as of yet but maybe their intention is to expand clientele down the road but I don't know how the yard would secure millions of dollars worth of yachts and equipment around the general public plus the liability issues of greenies running around a working shipyard impaired from spirits & chicken wings.

Welcome to the Internet.

If you are saying they were not alcoholic, then I apologize, but generally when one words it as you did, they are alcoholic and I do find the frequency with which people in general take their boat to bars or restaurants, drink while there, then jump back into the boat a problem. I asked the question and gave you the opportunity to respond and correct any erroneous assumption or misconception from your initial post.

And, yes, anytime anyone writes that they pulled up to a bar, went in and had a few drinks, returned to operating their boat, I will ask.

Nice Albin Norseman ! What is on the sign? I can not read it.

The is a reason the word “assume” start la with the letters a, s and s

It'll be interesting to see if YOT is indeed open to the general public and not just crew and subs in the yard. M.Y. Café in Rybovich opened to the general public two yrs. ago due to its location going commercial and soon going to be part of 75,000 sq. ft of retail commercial space on the ground floor of one of the four condo mix use towers going up. I see more huge concrete pilings being stacked up on the north side of the Huizinga / Related Properties land ready for the pile drivers and footings. Hate to see Rybo south go as the North yard is very small in comparison.

YOT is open to all.

Should be a hit then. Sit amongst the mega yachts while having a night out for dinner and libations. Its been a few months since I was last in LMC so they must have put in a private entrance and parking for this venture as I cant see the security gate screening YOT patrons & yacht crew returning to their vessels after a night out.

Nice! Ok if Sweetie Puss and I ever get to Ft. Lauderdale, we will call you up for a tour ride, ending up at YOT for a drink of course! Lol
