“Everyone kept saying how much they will miss Old Town Untapped for the summer, so we created this fun event with our friends at South Bar & Kitchen,” says Ty Tabing, Director of The City of Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department, operating as Pompano Beach Arts. “This will be the ultimate summer hangout – incredible bands, delicious food, and the perfect Pompano Beach vibe!”
South Bar & Kitchen is a contemporary Southern American concept with a heavy Louisiana influence, infusing Cajun and Creole flavors in a tantalizing way. The restaurant overlooks Old Town’s Backyard, an award-winning outdoor public gathering space located in Pompano Beach’s Old Town area.
South Bar & Kitchen is located at 165 NE 1st Avenue, Pompano Beach, FL 33060
