Rumor has it that Rumors Bar and Grill in Wilton Manors, South Florida's premier gay community just north of Downtown Fort Lauderdale, is fast becoming one of the city's favorite watering holes.

Located on the very happening Wilton Drive, just west of the busy Five Points, the crowds have been gathering here since it recently opened. What appears to be a small bar from the outside proves large enough to accommodate the growing number of patrons. Founded from a desire to be involved in the local community, the owners of this establishment have created a warm atmosphere and a friendly service with the best drinks and a great menu that's already gaining a stellar reputation.

Start with Margarita Mondays and get a free basket of chips and salsa with "2-4-1" margaritas at lunch. 90s after 9 Tuesdays with $2 domestics, $2.50 imports, $1 schnapps shots, $4 Smirnoff cocktails or a beer pitcher for $9. Wicket Wednesdays will appeal to wing lovers with the special of $1 off wicked hot wings all day. Try It Thursdays offers a $3 Rumors runner or $4 Smirnoff cocktails after 9 pm. The weekend begins on Fridays with $3 wells, $1.50 drafts, Jager or Angry Ballz shots for $5.

Plan to dive in to the great menu items that already have a loyal following. From flame-grilled burgers to delectable sandwiches, wraps, soups and salads, wings and a list of finger foods, Rumors Bar and Grill has created the perfect atmosphere for that perfect evening to spend with friends or make new ones. While the parking lot may be limited, there are parking lots nearby that allow for a pleasant walk past the shops and art galleries to Rumors Bar and Grill.
