Bull Market

Downtown Fort Lauderdale has seen its changes over the past decade. From Broward’s premier bar scene to victim of the failing economy to slowly resurrecting nightlife and dining destination, the area is finally starting to make a comeback. And even more changes are on the horizon. Subculture Group’s Dubliner Fort Lauderdale was recently sold to the Creative Kitchen Group, owners of Whiskey Tango in Hollywood. Director of Operations John Todora gave us the scoop on the new concepts (it’s going to bethree) and a timeline for the changes. Todora and his group officially took over the space on May 1 and continued running it as the Dubliner until recently — it’s currently closed for renovations. On Thursday, however, Bull Market will open its doors to the public. The concept is based on the premise of supply and demand. Every day, several beers will be on the ticker, which will increase and decrease the price points based on how many are being ordered at a given time. (It changes every seven minutes.) “We developed the idea for craft beers,” says Todora. “People don’t always want to take a chance on a $7 beer, but a $5 beer is more reasonable.” In addition to several beers, the ticker will feature a specific spirit each day: One day will be vodka, another whiskey, and so on. Set to the west side of the space, Bull Market will feature “shares” plates intended for groups and individuals. Each menu item will be broken up into threes. Expect to see dishes like Dr. Peppe
