| Additional Information | The Button, also known as The Button on the Beach, was a bar located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The bar was a destination for spring break tourists and sailors visiting Port Everglades. The bar had a reputation for holding risqué events, such as wet T-shirt contests. These events got the bar temporarily shut down on at least one occasion. Another Button location existed in Hallandale, Florida. The Museum has a similar button for that location here. |
