Off The Clock Listening Bar & Restaurant – Elevated Caribbean Flavors & Live Vinyl Vibes in Lake Worth Beach

I visited Off The Clock with my sister for my birthday, and the experience did not disappoint. First tip: make a reservation. On weekdays, same-day reservations seem easy enough, though weekends may be different. Also, dress to impress—cocktail attire or business-casual fits the classy vibe perfectly. From the moment you walk in, you’re ushered to your seat and the staff is attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance gives you everything at once: a cozy romantic dinner, a chic spot to catch up with your best friend, and an upscale yet relaxed environment that feels elevated but comfortable. You can take photos, but no flash, out of respect for other diners. Drinks I opted for a non-alcoholic drink, and I appreciated that the menu clearly marks sweetness, savoriness, and spirit level. I had the Sweetest Taboo, and I definitely recommend it—refreshing, sweet, and perfectly balanced. Starters We began with the Jerk Style Wings (OTC dry rub). These were incredibly flavorful—seasoned to perfection with the right blend of sweet and spicy. I’d call it a “level 2” spice if you enjoy heat, but it might feel stronger if you’re not used to spicy food. Either way, delicious and completely shareable. Entrées We ordered the Jerk Cubano (served with fries) and the Tamarind-Glazed Short Ribs (served over mashed potatoes). The Short Ribs were the standout of the night—tender, rich, and easily some of the best ribs I’ve had in a long time. I’m not typically a mashed potato person, but this pairing was perfection. The Jerk Cubano was good and tasty, though not something I’d personally hype as a must-try. Sides Roasted Brussels Sprouts – Slightly overcooked for my taste, but if you prefer softer Brussels that your fork glides through, you’ll enjoy them. Mac & Cheese – Absolutely perfect. Creamy, flavorful, and a great complement to any entrée. One Small Suggestion I would have preferred the food to be paced out. Everything arrived at once, which made the table feel crowded. Staggered service (appetizer first, entrée a few minutes later) would have elevated the experience even more. Top Recommendations Drinks (you really can’t go wrong) Jerk Style Wings – perfect starter, but don’t fill up on them! Tamarind-Glazed Short Ribs – the star dish Mac & Cheese – my favorite side Final Thoughts A special thank you to Chef Reggie and thank you to Horace (forgive me if I’m misspelling your names!) — you both truly made the experience enjoyable and memorable. I’m already planning another sister date here. The entire place has a calm, chill vibe that puts you instantly at ease. Highly recommend for date nights, girls’ nights, and any relaxed yet elevated dining experience.

A nostalgic throwback to times gone by when maybe life was simpler, and still unspoiled from the digital world! Some of us have grown so much, some of us, not so much! So the QUAD sweet combo of Nostalgia, Razzling CARIBBEAN Island Influenced Specially food items, and the POWER OF COMMUNITY AND MUSIC, we STILL have a chance for ALL of us to come together! One Love, One Diverseified Human Race! DJs dropping that smoove jazz, disco, hip hop, chill house..... This is what I gathered from my experiences here! BIG LOVE TO HORACE AND LIZ for bringing the culture back to Lake Worth!!! OTC IS #LAWKITTYAPPROVED!

From the moment we got there our experience was awesome! We were greeted by name at the front door and taken to our table! The ambience is awesome! So relaxed so chill and so comfortable. The food was incredible but my favorite part by far was the drinks! The cocktail list is different but everything tastes delicious. Liz and Horace offered excellent service. I would recommend this place to anyone! We will be back.

OTC is a truly unique and beautiful dining experience. Where to even begin - the service is absolutely world class. The owner Horace remembered us from our first visit when we came with a large group and came to check in on us and chat about our experience. The space is so beautifully curated and designed with unique decor and dim lighting, really setting a cozy vibe. The DJ Darren was spinning vinyl and really added such a special touch to our dinner, we were jamming the whole time. The space is designed nicely so you can still enjoy a conversation and the music at the same time. The food and drinks were out of this world. Everything we had was so unique and incredible. We enjoyed the dry rub wings, plantains, and cod fitters to start. Our mains were the Burger and the Short Rib which were both outstanding. The chef stopped at to our table and had a great conversation with him and how he designed the menu. I can’t remember the last time I enjoyed an experience at a restaurant as much as I’ve enjoyed my 2 visits at OTC, and that’s coming from someone who lived in amazing food cities like New York and Philadelphia. This is a place I look forward to visiting for many years to come.

You're going to want to check out this new spot in downtown Lake Worth! Off the Clock has a 70's-cool vibe on a Saturday night -- the music was grooving, the energy was great, and the food did not disappoint. Just a heads-up: the wings are jumping hot ... in the best way! The drinks were my favorite part -- inventive, interesting combinations that really stood out. Friendly bartenders and DJ on a real turntable. We had such a fun time on our first visit, and we'll definitely be coming back with more friends. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

This establishment was very needed in Palm beach, never been anywhere like it here. The food was tasteful, good drinks, great ambience and quality service. I’d definitely recommend trying them out! I love it

The food and atmosphere is amazing. Chef Reggie's craft is phenomenal. The staff is very attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. Whether it's a girls night out or just a night out at the bar, the vibes are always right. I would definitely recommend if you're looking for great food, top notch drinks, and warm vibes with an A-list Playlist.

I waited until my second visit to review and Off The Clock was GREAT at both visits. For a nice night out to eat this place is perfect. The food appears and tastes as if it was given full attention- compliments to the chef! Well seasoned and hearty. BONUS We were delighted to hear the salmon was wild caught. The service was also excellent, as the team is very gracious and inviting. On opening night Chris took care of our party of four and for our mid week dine we had the pleasure of being hosted by Mark. They were both attentive and efficient. Glad to have this refreshing experience, I think it captures Palm Beach culture to a T. Downtown Lake Worth is lucky to have Off The Clock, I’ll certainly be back. P.S. Sorry, Not sorry that the appetizer pictures were taken AFTER we ate- we couldn’t wait! Lol
