But the best thing about Mova is that it's located right in front of the Frieze, the 24-hour ice-cream shop where you can drown your sorrows in food if you haven't hooked up with anyone by the end of the night. And the fizz ($15) is the kind of libation that loosens things up. Served by strapping bartenders as pretty as the Jonas Brothers, these cocktails are deceptively light. Even the drinks are twinky: They're named things like 'elderflower fizz,' 'treetini,' and 'açaí breeze.' On Wednesday, college night, vodka cocktails are $3 all night long. The only leather you're likely to see here is on the upholstered love seats. It's classy, wholesome, and as beautifully lit as a Zac Efron musical.
Mova stands apart from the decades-old haunts catering to crowds that still remember the decadent foam parties of the '90s.
The place has slowed the exodus of young gays to Fort Lauderdale. If Mova were an ad in the men-for-men section of Craigslist, it would read, 'Young, Sean Cody type casually seeking late night of carousing and heavy petting.' At the lounge, just off Lincoln Road, the crowd that revolves around the oval-shaped bar skews young.
