The NEW LeBoy?

[+ Cock Eyed Optimist]

According to what I've seen on Facebook, there are some changes goin' on at LeBoy. Maybe some locals can verify or give new information.

This is what I have seen:

1. The name has been changed from LeBoy Tonight to LeBoy FTL

2. The inside bar has been gutted and new fixtures are going in.

3. The patio has also been gutted and will be redone.

 

In addition, the owners says he hopes to open next week. What does that really mean in FTL? In Chicago we have a very long way to go before any bars open.

 

Thanks for any input.

Renovations started pre-COVID. I was just down there mid-Feb and it was underway then. So it makes sense they would try to wrap it up while forced to close.

 

GivenBoardwalk’s recent renovations, it does not surprise me.

 

The name change is new but I like it better to be honest.

Hopefully the renovations will include the elimination of "that menu".

I just noticed a "now Hiring" post on FB. Apparently for all positions: dancers, bartenders, security, drag entertainers, etc. I hope Lee the bouncer who has been there since they were "Johnny's" will return.

One of the dancers posted on their Twitter the club is expecting to reopen in the next few weeks. So that makes sense.

while bars with restaurant licenses have opened in Ft Laud, those without continue to hope (without much encouragement) that by July 1 they'll be able to be up and running .. til then, we are forced to buy fairly uninspired food in order to hang with buddies and have a few drinks!

Recent huge spikes in Florida Covid-19 cases lead me to believe the July 1 date is no longer a reasonable expectation.

When and where has the number of COVID-19 cases been considered in the decision to open back up?

According to Facebook, LeBoy has reopened with new owners, new decor, and many new rules trying to keep customers safe during the pandemic.

Has anyone been there yet?

[RadioRob]

I texted a dancer that I know there a few days back. They just reopened yesterday. While dancers are there and mingling, no VIPs. Have not heard how yesterday went.

[hwic04]

Any updates as of October 9th? Who’s been there and can provide details?

Went last night with my FLL Ukrainian companion. We recognized some of the staff, but none of the dancers, bartender Chris told us that the building is slowly being remodeled, in phases. Center and outside bars have been renovated, next up are the restrooms. After that will be the stage and VIP rooms. Most of the crowd was outside, but we didn't stay long- too many unmasked patrons, too close for my comfort.

Thanks for the update! I'm glad that Chris is still bartending, and I hope Andy is too. Sorry to hear that there were many unmasked patrons.

That is pretty scary to me.

Good report, pdxleo. Thx. Would also like to hear from others a description of the dancers, how many there were, what their interaction was, and the overall vibe.

Do they still Allow Smoking? Cigarette ? I visit Ftl Lau. often, well before covid19 , but cant stand the smoke . South florida one of the few places left allowing it

[+ pdxleo]

Ya, still a smokers place- I don't indulge but it seems like every one else in Florida does!

That's too bad. When I spent last winter in Lauderdale, LeBoy didn't allow smoking inside, only out on the patio. Too bad the new owners reverted back to the old policy.

[hwic04]

Per another thread on Johnson’s, lap dances are available there. Can anyone report if the same is true at LeBoy? If so, what prices/policies have been put into affect by the new owners? Any other details/recommendations on the dancers from anyone who’s been there recently?

Hopefully LeBoy got rid of that horrible "menu".

is the smoking at inside bar? or just the patio bar? just wondering

[Poppie]

We were there last weekend. Didn't notice smoking inside the bar. Lap dance area still had "that menu". However, one dancer told me that they do the $$ per song too.

The menu is that bad, eh? Lots of places since the pandemic have done away with menus and started using QR codes that people can scan over their phones. Although as I am finishing up my thought typing this, we may not be talking about the same "menu." Now it got me more curious. ?

You are correct that the "menu" is not for food. LOL. It is for the amount of time you spend in the Lap Dance area.

I see. I am guessing the menu is "bad" because the rates are not commensurate with the duration in the lap dance area?
