M Bar Brings Global Tapas & Fresh Cocktails to East Las Olas

More than 600 guests traveled to East Las Olas for the official Grand Opening of M Bar, the new global tapas eatery and bar by acclaimed Fort Lauderdale restaurateur Jack Mancini.

Mayor John P. "Jack" Seiler officiated the arrival of the 3,500 square-foot global kitchen dining concept with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, after which guests experienced M Bar’s energetic atmosphere, a hot and cold assortment of complimentary globally influenced small plates, and an open bar featuring M Bar’s signature freshly crafted cocktails, craft beers and international wines.
A delectable selection of hot and cold small plates with Mediterranean, Asian, Italian, and Middle Eastern influences were served, including Crispy Pork Belly, Heirloom Tomato Basil Flat Bread, Fried Chicken and Watermelon Salad, Ceviche with Fresh Fruit Salsa and Ginger Vinegar, and Fried Sweetbreads with Hazelnut Waffle and Aged Maple Syrup. While some guests crowded around the bar to enjoy craft beers, cocktails and an international wine list, other sat at tables and admired M Bar’s striking industrial design.

“M Bar offers South Floridians a lively, stylish atmosphere to taste, explore and discover,” says Jack Mancini, owner of M Bar and Mancini’s Restaurant. “We use the freshest farm-to-table ingredients to craft adventurous small and large plates, perfect for sharing with a group of friends to dine and socialize. We look forward to becoming the East Las Olas’s ultimate spot for culinary exploration and quality dining.”

Psst... Mancini also plans to reintroduce a sleek redesigned Mancini’s Restaurant soon, offering a new outdoor patio with an outdoor sidewalk bar and a wood-burning pizza oven, all conveniently located under the same roof as M Bar.

Deck 84 To Host the Palm Beach International Film Festival "It's A Wrap" Party

On the heels of Sundance, the Miami International Film Festival and the recent SXSW Film Conference and Festival comes our own Palm Beach International Film Festival, being held March 23 to 31 at various hot spots throughout Palm Beach. As a true South Florida destination, Deck 84 of Atlantic Avenue will be participating in the iconic local event, hosting the Closing Night Film & Awards Presentation on the evening of Monday, March 28.

First, get cinematic at Movies of Delray for the 7 p.m. showing of The First Grader, "an inspiring story about the universal human urge to make our lives better." The premise has us hooked: it's the true story of an 84-year-old man who, having never been given a primary education, shows up for school after the announcement that free eeducation will be available in Kenya.



Following the closing night picture, the Palm Beach International Film Festival will wrap up the nine-day celebration of film with filmmakers and the community at Deck 84, our favorite waterfront venue. Take in the view and stay for the award presentations of the 2011 PBIFF’s Audience Favorite Winning Films, dancing, cocktails and passed hors d'oeuvres.

$35 gets you into the movie, as well as the official after party. Buy your tickets to the Closing Night Film & Awards Presentation today before the event sells out. 21 and over only.

We'll be there - will you? What are you looking forward to seeing?
