What we are aiming for
Everybody’s welcome is not just something we say at the door. This website was built to be usable with a keyboard, with a screen reader, at a large text size, and without a mouse. We aim to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 at level AA.
What we have done
- Keyboard first. Everything you can do with a mouse you can do with a keyboard. Tab through the page and the thing you are on is always clearly outlined — never a faint dotted line you have to hunt for.
- A skip link. Press Tab as soon as a page loads and the first thing you get is “skip to content”, so a screen reader user does not sit through the menu on every page.
- Real text, not pictures of text. Event names, times and prices are text, so they can be read aloud, enlarged and copied.
- Every photograph has a description for anyone using a screen reader.
- Contrast we actually measured. The colours were checked against the AA contrast standard rather than eyeballed, and a couple of the design’s original greys were lightened because they did not pass.
- Motion can be turned off. If your device is set to reduce motion, the animations here stop. That setting is respected, not ignored.
- Dialogs behave. Open a photo or an event and your keyboard focus moves into it; press Escape and it closes and puts you back where you were.
- Colour is never the only signal. Drinks are colour-coded by spirit, but the spirit is also written next to it.
Where we know we fall short
We would rather say this plainly than claim to be perfect.
- Nobody independent has audited this site. The work above was done carefully by the person who built it, which is not the same as being tested by someone who actually relies on a screen reader every day.
- Photos sent in by customers carry whatever description we can write for them, and we do not always know what is in someone else’s picture.
- Some of our event flyers are artwork with words in them. The event name, date and time are always written out as text as well, but the poster itself may say more than its description does.
Getting into the bar itself
Everything below describes the building as it actually is, including the parts that are not ideal. We would rather you knew before you set out.
The door
Our door is at street level with no step into the bar, and it is the same door everyone else uses — there is no separate entrance round the back. It opens outward, and any of our staff will happily hold it for you; just catch someone’s eye.
Getting from the parking lot to that door means getting up onto the sidewalk, and there is a curb between the two. The ramp is a few steps to your left as you face our entrance, so there is a step-free route the whole way in. It is part of the building and kept clear by the owners.
If you would rather someone met you outside and walked you the easiest way in, call ahead and we will.
Parking
The Shoppes of Wilton Manors lot serves the whole block, including us. It is a paid lot with a free period at the start, and there is paid street parking nearby managed by the city.
One thing worth knowing: you have to register your car with the lot’s QR code even while you are inside the free window. Cars that are not registered can be fined or towed, and that catches people out. Rates and rules are set by the lot rather than by us, so check the signage when you arrive — it is the only version that is definitely current.
Inside
The bar and all the seating are on one level, so once you are in you can get everywhere without a step.
Seating is mostly bar-height stools and bar-height tables, with regular-height tables depending on how the room is set up that night. If the layout does not work for you, tell us — we will move a table, clear a space, or rearrange what we can. That is not an imposition, it is a normal part of the evening for us.
The bar itself may be too high to order from comfortably if you are seated. Catch any bartender’s eye and they will come to you.
Restrooms
The restrooms are on the main floor with no step to reach them. There is a gender-neutral room with a door that closes, and a separate urinal area.
There is no grab bar. We would rather you knew that now than discovered it at the worst possible moment. If that rules us out for you, tell us — it is the sort of thing we would want on the list of what to fix.
Seeing the show
This is a small, intimate room and there is genuinely no bad seat. The bar seating sits higher than the tables so people at the bar can see the stage too, and standing crowds tend to gather to the side rather than directly in front of the performers. If you are seated, you should be able to see.
The stage is about two feet high with a one-foot step up to it. If you are performing with us and that is a problem, talk to us early and we will work out what we can do.
Lights, sound and haze
Some shows use flashing and strobe lighting. If that is a risk for you, call before you come and we will tell you what is planned that night.
We own a fog machine and almost never use it. If haze is a problem for your breathing, say so and it stays off.
It gets loud on show nights. Earlier in the evening is a good deal quieter if that suits you better.
Service animals
Always welcome, no question asked. Dogs are regulars here and there are treats behind the bar.
Ask us anything before you come
Call (954) 990-7422 and ask for a manager. If there is something you need to know that is not on this page, asking is not a nuisance — it tells us what to add here for the next person.
Tell us if something does not work
This is the part that matters most. If any of this site is hard or impossible for you to use, we want to know — not as a complaint, as a bug report. Tell us what you were trying to do and what got in the way, and we will fix it.
Use our contact form, or call the bar on (954) 990-7422. If it is easier to tell us in person, tell any bartender and it will get to the right people.
If you need information from this site in another format — a schedule read out, an event flyer described — just ask. That is not a special favour, it is the point.
