History
Established in 1995.
Bill’s Filling Station opened in 1995 at it’s original location on the corner of 11th Ave & 13th St in Fort Lauderdale. During that time, the anti gay mayor made doing business in that city difficult by forcing new parking restrictions on already existing businesses. The result led to Bill’s relocating to it’s new location on Wilton Drive in the heart of the gay district. While the old location was cozy, issues with the building, leaks, being isolated, bad parking and more, the new location was larger with parking and the ability to walk to other businesses. The old location was temporarily the home to another bar that moved shortly after opening for the same issues.
The new Bill’s has a large main room with 3 bars, a special events stage, videos, VJ/DJ, large kitchen facilities featuring amazing burgers and tacos, a lounge bar, pool tables and more that the old location could never offer. Including the ability to walk to most of the other bars in the area.
