Southport Raw Bar

Fort Lauderdale


A local favorite and a bit of a dive, it serves shrimp, cheese steaks, roast pork hoagies and pitchers of beer – all Southport staples. Clams and oysters are shucked to order, and there's a variety of fried baskets and seafood platters. The cavernous interior is a fuggy haze of clam steam; wait for outdoor seating on the marina side.
