The Elbo Room was established in 1938 and has been a Ft.
Lauderdale landmark for sixty years. The only thing separating
the bar and the Atlantic Ocean is a two lane one way road. Due to
its friendly atmosphere and desirable location, there is no secret
to why this cozy watering hole has been extremely popular. It all
began with the WW2 sailors in the 1940's, then the Spring Breakers
from the fifties to the late eighties, and presently to anyone
still reveling from the good ol' days to the Generation X crowd
looking for a place where everyone knows their name. The height of
popularity for the Elbo Room was definitely launched by the filming
of the movie " Where the Boys Are ", with Connie Frances and George
Hamilton. College students from all over were flocking to bask in
the sun and meet the girl or guy of their dreams. The phenomenon of
Spring Break continued in Ft. Lauderdale through the eighties and
was documented with a re-make of " Where the Boys Are" , starring
Tom Cruise and Shelly Long... With the success of our original
website, which only allowed users to view the inside of the bar and
a nice ocean view, we launched the world's first fully interactive
entertainment network. Now,
www.elboroom.com offers its
subscribers an array of live, full motion cameras with sound. The
cameras now include a live beach camera which allows users to view
the weather for the day - not to mention the many scantily clad
beachgoers! Our new live bar chat is becoming very popular and
allows people around the world using the internet to see and chat
with people enjoying themselves at the bar. If you are stuck at
work and can't make happy hour in person, you can join our live
happy hour show via the net. The show will interview people in the
bar and on the beach. Not a bad way to spend your last hour of
work. If that's not enough, join our online dating, view our live
band camera and bikini pages, enroll in online bartending school,
or shop at the online Elbo store. Through wars, Spring Breaks, good
times and bad, you can count on the Elbo Room to be a place where
happy memories are made.
