Pier Top

Loved it… they do have a dress code and you must make a reservation. Went during off season and at 5:45 there was already a line at the host stand. They don’t allow sneakers for men, saw a lot of people upset by that. But if you want to dress up and go to a lounge in Fort Lauderdale, this is the place to come. It’s iconic. I found the pizza chips to be overpriced, but the rest of the food was good. Cocktails were fun. Overall the view and people watching was great. Bartenders weren’t overly friendly but they did check on us regularly. Definitely a great place to come for a drink.

We didn't eat here. They do have snacks, the oysters looked really good but I have never liked oysters and whiskey, which is what I was drinking. I had a few Woodford old fashioned, and my date had a mojito. The drinks were really good, definitely on the higher end, but you are paying for the ambiance. The staff was very pleasant. The doorr man downstairs asked if we had a reservation (we did not, if you want a table I would suggest it so you don't have to wait) we opted to go to stand at the bar. I honestly didn't think a reservation would be necessary, but if you want a good table where it spins, it's required on the weekend. The lobby was empty, so I wasn't expecting a crowd when we got up there, but it was quite lively. There was an outside section, a section that slowly spun, and the stationery bar and center tables. The spinning took a moment to adjust to when you were walking. There was popular music playing, but it was at a good level to hold a conversation yet drown out background noise. I will definitely go back.

The ambiance and the views is what I would give it a five-star for. Reminiscent of Skylon Tower or the Stratosphere. The 360° views were amazing. We went prior to our date just for some cocktails. The date wasn't until later so I wanted to eat a little bit. The menu was minimal in terms of food. We ordered the tuna tartare as well as some oysters. $10/microscopic oyster 🤯 The tuna tartar presentation was beautiful except where was the tuna 😅? The drinks were pricey, but were delicious. Overall it was worth the experience especially being rotated 360°. We do intend to return. Please have food next time, I would have preferred to have dinner here.

A really cool place to go and have some drinks after or before dinner. We arrived on time and were seated right away, service was great, attentive without being overwhelming. Drinks are great, food variety is limited to snacks so plan ahead if you want food. The dress code is a little more strict than the rest of SoFlo, so no shorts or flip flops. Will definitely return.

Our latest visit to Pier Top completely redeemed our initial experience. It’s clear the team is paying attention to feedback and making genuine efforts to improve, and it truly shows. We started with some delicious appetizers, and the standout was definitely the cheese tray. It offered a variety of unique and thoughtful pairings that we really enjoyed. For drinks, the High Roller was an excellent way to kick off the evening. It was fun, flavorful, and perfect for sharing with friends. We tried a few new cocktails afterward, which were just okay for our tastes, but we happily ended the night with our original favorites: Mermaid Tears and Monkey Revenge. While our first visit had its share of hiccups, Pier Top made it right, and that effort hasn’t gone unnoticed. We’re already looking forward to coming back, and sooner rather than later. A quick heads-up: this is an upscale venue with a dress code, and it is enforced. No sneakers, tennis shoes, open-toed shoes, or shorts, as far as we’ve seen. Pier Top sets the tone for a high-end dining experience, and they truly live up to it.

Love Pier Top! It’s an upscale lounge at the top of the historic, newly renovated Pier Sixty-Six Resort. It still revolves 360 degrees in 66 minutes! The cocktail menu is incredible, be sure to ask for Fernando at the bar. He makes each drink with care and passion, and they are obviously delicious. The food menu is small, only one vegan option, but it was yummy. There is an outdoor deck, so it’s gorgeous to view sunsets from here. Reservations are highly encouraged. You COULD see if they have openings when you arrive, but you will most likely have to put your name down and wait. But Angel at the desk really does his best to accommodate as fast as possible. Can’t wait to return again!

From what i saw the menu was just drinks, appetizers and a desert. Our server Julian had a great attitude. The DJ music , views and fellow customers were amazing. Everyone dressed up classy. It's an upscale venue with alot of photo/video opportunities. Make sure you eat a full dinner elsewhere before hand. Valet was $12 + tip.Would go back again. Our Espresso Martinis were $24 each.

Great place to have an intimate time with your significant other. Make a reservation so you can have a table. Drinks were reasonably priced, and food was tasty. Great place for before or after dinner since it's not a dinner restaurant, only appetizers. The view is breathtaking. Live DJ. Restaurant rotates 360 degrees. $80 min per person. Valet parking was 11 something or under $12. Reservation hold of $50 per person on your card.

I was excited to try this spot for the view but was prepared for overpriced and underwhelming food because of location. I was COMPLETELY WRONG. From the kind gentleman on the bottom floor to the amazing food that we received! The drinks were perfect and balanced the beautiful views. However the show stopper was the food! We ordered the Medjool Dates w Chorizo and Piquillo Sauce, perfect start! Then moved on to the amazing tuna tartar and the short rib bao buns - I have been craving since I left! But maybe my favorite were the lobster rolls and the oysters Crème Fraîche with caviar! The lobster rolls were toasted perfectly with savory and sweet lobster while the oysters were a perfect balance of DAMN I want more! Kuddos to the team and the Chef!

Located on the very top of Pier Sixty Six is PierTop. It has the best views of Fort Lauderdale you can find. It has changed a lot since the remodeling of Pier Sixty Six hotel. The fashionable dining is gone, replaced by a disco like environment with DJ's and up to date music, but no dancing. The drinks are good but the food is mostly little bite snacks. I had their Latin Burger with an Angus beef patty, tomato, lettuce, bacon, sautéed onions, Chihuahua cheese, and Chimichurri Aioli on a Brioche bun. However, the primary point for coming here is the magnificent view to be enjoyed while the floor rotates comfortably around every 66 minutes, and my reason for Five Yelp Stars.

Saturday night. Music is bumping- good mix. Drinks-a-plenty. Slow moving floor allows for view change. Only thing that i do not like... is that, it's hot like I've been dancing, this is more loung-ie-dance type, with a nice terraza.. patio if u will. That said.. it's nice if u havn't tried it.

Stopped by on a Saturday around 6 PM for some pre-dinner snacks and drinks, and it did not disappoint! The 360 views were just the cherry on top of a great experience. We tried the pizza chips and the floating tuna tartare - both were fantastic. That side of ranch with the pesto drizzle? Chef's kiss ‍ For drinks, we went with the Manhattan and Tears of a Mermaid - both were on point. Perfect spot for light bites, great cocktails, and stunning views. 10/10 recommend!

The views amazing but not the worth the prices for locals. Came here for some birthday drinks pre dinner and left with a tab that I'm still confused about. A group of 4 us ordered 8 drinks total, when we closed out the bartender (Mateo) gave me the bill without an itemized receipt. Red flag!!, because I had no idea if tip was included and it was over $300. Partially my fault as I'm no rookie, but acted like one on this occasion. Anyway this is just a warning to make sure you ask for your itemized tab or else you'll end up paying $50 a drink! Yes 5-0!! That was 4 champagnes, 2 Fletcha Tequilas and 2 glenlivets. The champagne poors weren't anything super high end, as you might ask. The $15 caliber one. The other drinks if they were $25 would have still not added up to over $300. You know places do this to tourists all the time, we weren't tourists. Would I recommend the place, no, not for locals! Or if you go GET an itemized receipt so you don't get tourist scammed.

Beautiful newly renovated Pier Top is definitely an awesome place to grab a drink and catch up with friends during the day and more so at night. The entire restaurant slowly rotates so you get a nice view of Fort Lauderdale beach and intercoastal. Fun fact: because it's Pier Sixty Six, a full circle is 66 minutes. Breathtaking views and snazzy decor aside, the staff is friendly and the DJ plays good jams. Unfortunately, the menu is very limited. Aside from drinks, the food menu only has a handful of items. On the Sunday we went, it was during the air show weekend and it was an even more limited menu of just oysters, caviar, tuna tartare, chilled veggies, cheese and almond board and bacon wrapped dates. My mom and I got the latter two items cause I can only eat cooked food for now. The cheeseboard was very pretty and had a great selection of cheeses - creamy, mild, and sharp. The yuzu marmalade was a great compliment and the salted marcona almonds tasted great too. The bacon wrapped dates stuffed with chorizo with red pepper sauce was amazing. The sweet and savory flavors were really good together. Hope they expand the food menu one day.

Horrible service... don't waste your time coming here! Not worth the hype! Stunning views but service is slow, overpriced drinks, not worth it.

As a true Florida resident who lives in miami I was excited to try something new. My cousin who is from out of town came and got a table for us. My friend wasn't allowed in her outfit but then I saw multiple men go in shorts and two with baseball caps. Why did they discriminate against women. This is insane. Angel at the front was nice but this rule is insane. I've never in my life been turned away from anywhere in miami. Change your policy.

Our evening began at the perfect time of 6:30 pm, allowing us to enjoy the stunning sunset views before transitioning into the vibrant night scene. The ambiance was truly exceptional, as captured in our photos and videos. Our waitress, Aixa, provided outstanding service, making the experience even more enjoyable. The drinks were both delicious and creatively crafted, offering a wide variety of options to explore. Paired with the appetizers, the drinks made for a delightful culinary experience. We had an excellent time and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you find yourself in the Ft. Lauderdale area, this spot is a must-visit. Plus, the valet service is quite affordable compared to Miami and downtown Ft. Lauderdale, and we comfortably spent around five hours here and at another establishment at Pier Sixty-Six.

We only came in for drinks, which were amazing! I love a revolving rooftop restaurant! Views were fantastic! Vibe was cool. Will be back for dinner!

Nice spot with a great view. We tried to make a reservation but there was nothing before 10:30pm so we got there early and just sat at the bar. The place was never fully packed and we always saw tables open so not sure about that. The drinks were good but pricey. Our bartender was friendly and attentive regardless of how busy he got. If you go based on menu it's 22-24 for their specialty drinks which I guess is the norm for most hotel spots but I ordered a Gin sour with Empress Gin and it cost me $28 a glass. I have a hard time justifying 2oz that cost the same as a bottle. The music changed depending on the time. There's a live dj and we got further into the night it definitely started to sound like a club. The crowd was incredibly eclectic and it did change as it got later. Your only option for parking is valet but that was reasonable and my car was waiting for me when I got to the front. Everyone we engaged with was super friendly. I think this is a great spot to bring people who are visiting or a stop on your way to or from dinner.

This place is absolutely beautiful! Came by around sunset time and you can see the skyline of Fort Lauderdale ! The bar spins so smoothly , you don't even realize you've made your way around the whole bar. The dj played some light fun tunes. Drinks were great and their "Got a date" small bite was delicious! We had to order two!

Great Pre/Post dinner spot. Good drinks & even better vibes and views. Service was a little slow as the bar was backed up but we still had a nice time. My only recommendation would be to make sure you have dinner plans or have already eaten before arriving. Although they have small bites, it's not intended to fill you up. The bites mainly compliments the drinks. There is also a DJ.

Beautiful views! Top notch cocktails! Exquisite small plates! We have been awaiting the re-opening of this historic landmark -- the Iconic Pier Top Lounge. Built in the 60's the building's architecture is right out of the Jetson's and the luscious atomic age design from the mid-century. The Pier Top cocktail lounge finally reopened this past March 2025. Our visit proved to be well worth the wait! You enter through the spectacularly beautifully designed hotel lobby and are greeted by a host that checks your reservation and vibe (note- there is a dress code: no shorts, flip flops, etc. check it closely on their website or face being turned away) then escorts you to the elevator that will whisk you up to the penthouse level. The entry view to the lounge is breathtaking- gorgeous, sumptuous center bar and couch-y seating areas on the window sides. Very glamourous, yet comfy. The Pier Top Lounge makes one 360-degree revolution per hour. When we were seated, it was in its short pause and our seats were not by a window. We were wondering why we didn't rate a window. Haha! Once we started moving, we got it. The bar is in the center and the lounge seating gently revolves like a record player around it. You have your window views that are simply spectacular across the Atlantic Ocean, Port Everglades, the Intracoastal, downtown Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood's iconic Hard Rock casino and arena, and Miami on the horizon. The views are breathtaking. But, you also have a 360 view of the bar, which is beautiful - first you may be behind it, then at the side, then at front. How cool is that? There is a DJ playing perfect lounge grooves and we did not find the music loud - we could speak intimately with each other without yelling. The DJ was phenomenal. She made and kept the mood and totally understood the assignment. The music was mix of lounge, mellow house grooves. Just right. Our reservation was for 6:30 - an hour plus before sunset - so that we could experience the space and views in the bright sun, sunset, and night. Oh my goodness! The sunset was amazing! There is a small outdoor seating area - FYI - that space does NOT revolve. If you sit inside, you can step out to breath the air and feel like the king or queen of the world! The service was outstanding. Our server was welcoming, friendly, helpful (she offered to take pics of us standing outside) and a wonderful host. Going here, we had done our research and saw that the food is limited to small bites. We had taken a look at the cocktail menu and knew we were going to ....sample a few over the course of the evening so, we pre-gamed by having a good dinner before going. This would be my recommendation if you plan to hang and enjoy the space and the delicious drinks. I had a top notch gin martini and hubby had the best sazerac he's ever had - better than the ones we had in New Orleans. I moved to the negroni which was smooth and delightful. And he moved on to a smart manhattan. We also had a few of the small plates. First we had the "Got a hot date" which are medjool dates, chorizo, bacon in piquillo sauce. My husband loved these! The sauce reminded him of his dad who was from Hungary. The sauce was a creamy, red, peppery/paprika sauce that gave a mild kick that worked well with the sweet dates and savory bacon and chorizo. Next, we had four "Ol' Dirty Oysters" which were raw with creme fraiche, chive, and caviar. These were beautifully presented in a gold serving dish filled with ice with seaweed garnishing the ice. The oysters were exquisite with the small dollop of the creme fraiche and caviar and edible gold leaf. A beautiful, delicious oyster! Finally, we tried "Floating Tuna Tartare" which was bluefin tuna and kimchee on crystal bread (a crispy tuna delivery system that is sort of like a delicate fried air cracker) - delish! Now, this was not an inexpensive evening. But, we knew we wanted to make a night of it. If you go for a drink or two - hey, fine cocktails in a spectacularly beautiful spot will not come at an economy price. And, if you go for an evening like we did, expect to be seeing it as a treat that you deserve. After all, you only go around once. -- Except at Pier Top, when you can enjoy going around more than once and enjoying the ride, views, drinks, food, service and experience. You deserve it.

The Pier Top is an excellent way to start your weekend with a flare! The views are unmatched in Ft L with the rotating bar, you see it all! Excellent service, cocktails and food.

The music was very loud and it felt as if I was at LIV nite club! We were told we could have a table until 9:30 which was fine since we had dinner at Caluso earlier. The place was empty as we left, no one was clamoring to get in and it was void of any ambience. The saving grace was the view. The PierTop at one time was a place to have a first date, get engaged or celebrate a special occasion. Not anymore. If you are looking for something special rooftops are not the answer. Music sets the mood and when you cannot hear yourself think it's time to escape. Dinner is not offered only bites to nosh on. I am debating as to go back at an earlier time and see if the setting is better. Music should be relaxing early in the evening especially if you want to stop for a cocktail after a long day of work. Debating if I want to try this again!

The pros: small plates arrangements are awesome, the atmosphere is amazing with incredible views of the entire city, intracoastal, and ocean. The drinks are also top notch and the service from the entrance and overall is great. The cons: Our waitress was more concerned about conversing and serving another table that came in after us that she greeted with hugs making it clear that she knew them which is fine but it caused my wife & I to constantly wait to get her attention on top of her serving our drinks far away from our reach for some weird reason. Also the supposed strict dress code was lax as they allowed a few people in with shorts and jeans. Price is a little excessive for what you get, high end place for sure but a little over the top for standard bar drinks. Over all it's a must if you've never been.

Just a nice view went for our anniversary was not good. Drinks were super juicy watered down. We weee told no regular tequila other than Mezcal. Table and bathroom weren't clean. Debating to cancel for my fiancé bday this week. We spent $120 for nothing worth it unfortunately !

It's all about the views. And the DJ. And the martinis. And the people watching! Short on menu (half a dozen snacks), tall on drinks, it's a fun night out.

Had a reservation for 3 weeks. This was an anniversary celebration and we and three other parties were turned away for misunderstanding the dress code- casual coastal. Which apparently signifies men can't wear shorts. Even if they have nice shoes and a collared shirt. So yes they turned away a fat check because we were prepared to have a 1k tab. We were looking forward to the caviar oysters and now I cant. give a potentially phenomenal review. It just went and got poo pooed because of the pretentiousness of the staff. They didn't even apologize. They just referred us "peasants" to go to the pool bar.

What a great experience! We went for after dinner drinks and a snack. Decided with the oysters and gin cocktails which were both delicious. Would definitely like to go again and get a seat by the window for the lovely views

Very subpar interactions from the get-go. Showed up as a surprise for a birthday from a day out in the sun and showed up in button ups and one guest had on (golf)/clean dress shorts. Were denied entry from the start at valet as well as waited on hold for over 20 minutes to discuss with a manager with no answer. Will NOT be returning. It's south Florida - the epitome of disappointing customer service
