Grillin’ & Chillin’ at Ribs N Brew Fest
Eat, Drink, Play, Repeat: Ribs N Brew Fest in Boca Served Up Fun for All!
February 22nd, 2025
What an unforgettable Saturday night we had at the Ribs N Brew Fest in Boca Raton’s Sunset Cove Amphitheater! The weather couldn’t have been more perfect, and the atmosphere was buzzing with excitement as we tasted mouthwatering ribs, tried out a variety of drinks, and jammed to some awesome live music.
Our taste buds were on fire as we dove into 14 different rib varieties, from classic Cajun and smoky barbecue to tangy honey teriyaki. Every bite was a flavor explosion. Some ribs were so tender they practically fell off the bone! Whether sweet or spicy, each rib was cooked to perfection, leaving us craving more.

But let’s talk about the real standout: Won-Tom’s Asian-styled ribs. The flavors were unlike anything I’ve ever had before—simply divine. A close second were Mistah Lee’s smokey BBQ ribs—absolute perfection for any BBQ lover.
Of course, we couldn’t just stop at the ribs. Tennessee Bob was in the house with his incredible array of sauces. Don’t let the name fool you—his Key Lime BBQ Sauce had a delicious Florida twist that was perfect with the ribs. And if you’re into heat, Hillbilly Hot Sauce was a serious favorite of mine!
For those with a sweet tooth, there were unique desserts from Sweet Missy’s, a deli booth from Uptown Deli, and hearty, Southern comfort food from Grit Bowls. Talk about variety!
As we savored the deliciousness, we washed it all down with local lagers, ales, and craft beers, taking a break to lick our fingers between sips. For those who preferred a non-alcoholic option, there were plenty of refreshing sodas and waters available.

The festival wasn’t just about eating and drinking—there were games galore! From tabletop golf to cornhole, there was something for everyone to enjoy while we grooved to live music from Girlfriend Material (7-10pm) and the funky beats from DJ Boom.
We also had the exciting opportunity to vote for the best ribs and best beer of the night! Rib vendors were competing for a $15,000 cash prize, while breweries were vying for $10,000, with attendees deciding the People’s Choice Beer. It was a fun, flavorful battle!
As the sun set and the fun continued, we were all smiling, bellies full, and already talking about next year’s event. If you weren’t able to make it this year, don’t miss out in 2025!

Between flying queens, strong pours, and a room full of Pride week energy, Palace turned Friday night into one of the hottest parties on Ocean Drive.
April 11, 2026
During Miami Beach Pride Week, plenty of venues try to capture the moment, but Palace Bar made Friday night feel like the place everyone wanted to be. The Haus of Gucci Ball brought together drag, fashion, nightlife, and the kind of high energy crowd that made the whole evening feel elevated from the start.
The atmosphere hit immediately. Palace was glowing, the music kept the room alive, and the crowd was fully locked in. It felt vibrant, glamorous, and very Miami Beach. More than just a dinner outing, the night unfolded like a full Pride experience on Ocean Drive.
The clear highlight was a queen whose acrobatic performance completely took over the room. She moved with an incredible mix of strength, control, and confidence, turning the floor into her stage and delivering a routine that felt both dazzling and deeply seductive. At one point, she was flipping around on a man with such effortless precision that the whole crowd seemed to stop at once. It was captivating, sexy, and easily one of the most memorable moments of the night.
The food and drinks absolutely kept up. We had the filet bites and tuna tostones, both perfect for sharing between performances, along with skinny margaritas and lemon drops that were dangerously easy to drink. And yes, Palace was pouring strong, which only added to the fun. The cocktails matched the mood of the night perfectly: bold, smooth, and hard to stop ordering.
What makes Palace Bar work so well during Miami Beach Pride is that the energy never drops. The performers are not just part of the background. They pull the whole room in. The crowd responds, the music keeps moving, and the night keeps building. That kind of momentum is exactly what makes an event feel worth showing up for.
The Haus of Gucci Ball was one part of Palace Bar’s larger Miami Beach Pride Week programming, which has helped make the venue one of the biggest draws on Ocean Drive this week. With events spanning multiple days, Palace has become a go to destination for people looking for drag performances, nightlife, rooftop energy, DJs, and a crowd that wants to celebrate Pride in full.
That is what makes Palace such a fixture during Miami Beach Pride Week. It is not just about location or history. It is about creating nights that actually feel exciting once you are there. Friday night’s Haus of Gucci Ball had the glamour, the chemistry, the performances, and the kind of atmosphere that kept people fully engaged from beginning to end.
If you were at Palace Bar on Friday night, you already know how good it was. If you missed it, this was one of those Miami Beach Pride nights worth hearing about.
