Elbo
Room
Established in 1938 at Las Olas Boulevard
and A1A, the Elbo Room dates to when
the only thing separating bar and sea
was a comparatively quiet two-laner.
WWII sailors flocked here in the ‘40s,
followed by decades of Spring Breakers,
and legendary ambiance extends to the
present day for anyone still reveling
in “Where The Boys Are” nostalgia.
Not that the Elbo Room hasn’t kept
up with the times. When Spring Break
revelry got out of hand and the city
cracked down on the $40 million per
year debauchery, a lot of Break-oriented
businesses went belly up.
Through
it all, the Elbo Room persevered.
In 1993, the Elbo was granted the
city’s first outdoor cafe license.
Since then, its website has launched
live, full motion cameras with sound
including beach action showcasing
weather (along with beach attire)
of the day. Also on tap are an online
Elbo store, bartender school registration,
and a sign-up form for ElboRoom.com
e-mail addresses.
