How to Plan Your Night in Boca Raton
If you want to stay in Boca Raton itself, Boca Black Box is the pick for an actual show with a real stage and a cover charge to match, while The Funky Biscuit in Mizner Park and Crazy Uncle Mike’s are more casual, drop in options. For a fuller night out, Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach is about fifteen minutes north and gives you Art’s Garage, Dada Delray, Radcliffe’s Speakeasy, Delray Hideway and Tin Roof Delray all within walking distance of each other, plus Boston’s on The Beach if you want an oceanfront setting. If you are bringing the whole family, Morikami’s candlelight concert series is the standout option, though it is seasonal and ticketed in advance.
