The 8 Best Bars In Fort Lauderdale

"If you’re looking for a bar with a little more energy—perhaps one that plays top 40 hits at a fairly high volume—try The Wilder. This place will definitely make you feel like you’re at a bar, but it’s not too chaotic. There are plenty of places to sit down and the drinks are solid. The bar is broken up into three different spaces: a front bar, a bigger lounge, and an outdoor patio. They’re all perfectly fine places to sip cocktails in nice clothes on a Saturday night. " - ryan pfeffer

The Best Cocktail Bars in Ft. Lauderdale and Broward County | Eater Miami

"Club vibe-y come the weekend and always boasting a chill patio, this is a place to be seen. You can snag a classic cocktail (i.e., mules, margaritas, and old fashioned) for $7 during its 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. happy hour Tuesday through Saturday. Otherwise, it’s wild Virgo’s Groove – made with a mushroom-infused Angel’s Envy, vermouth, and sherry – which is worth the splurge every time."

I went to the "The Wilder" and had really no to low expectations because I have received any or reactions from people have been its always been, "Its cool." Now I realized they may not have wanted me to go and write a review and tell people about it. I most say I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by my experience. Luckily some seats opened at the bar (seems it could be a wait to sit inside, a Saturday night) sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing and attentive to me and my friend and asked us questions and had great conversation to help us decide on the best drink. I recommend going and spending some time. Dont stop doing great service and delighting your guess.

That’s my favorite bar — a perfect blend of style and soul. The ambience is effortlessly chic, with every detail adding to its charm. Their cocktails are a revelation: delicious, creative, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

Neat little place to go grab some sharable foods, drinks to. Food is excellent and reasonably priced and the drinks are top. More of a come after work or a Friday Saturday mingle place but if in the area I would stop for the food and drinks again. service was excellent very attentive.

Went for burlesque brunch and it was amazing. My server was very attentive. The ladies who perform are gorgeous!! Being selfish..I wish there were more performers or like a set show vs one performer coming out every 40 mins or so. Also they do brunch but have no coffee. Which I thought was odd but Other than that I have zero complaints. Will def recommend and I'll be back.

We hosted our wedding reception here, and if I could give the entire team 10 stars, I would. From start to finish, they displayed the utmost excellence in their communication and dedication to making our night so special. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try the food that night, but everyone continues to rave about it. All of our guests loved the DJ as well as the dancers. We wanted our wedding to truly feel like a party, and the Wilder exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend this place enough for any event. A big thank you to Sirleine for being the most amazing and helpful director of events, and a shout-out to the incredible DJ, DJ Dexes, and the dancers for making our night truly memorable.

Atmosphere, staff & service were 10's cross the board! The drinks were yummy. Lamb was tasty, the vegetables pairing was top notch. Octopus wasn't my favorite, however, the presentation was beautiful. I will be back

The Wilder: A Must-Stop for Cocktails & Cuisine Despite missing our reservation time, the manager at The Wilder went above and beyond to accommodate our family as soon as a table became available. That level of hospitality set the tone for an unforgettable experience. Our server, Natalia, was pleasant, patient, and perfectly attentive. Walking into The Wilder feels like stepping into an old-school speakeasy--but with a modern, stylish flair. The ambiance alone is worth the visit, but the cocktails and food take it to another level. The standout drink? Good Fortune--a bold and unexpected mix of Suntory Toki Japanese Whiskey, gochujang, honey, pineapple, and lemon. As a devoted Old Fashioned fan, I was skeptical. Gochujang in a cocktail? I love it on noodles, but in my drink? Turns out, Good Fortune reminds us why it's worth trying something new. Let's just say, we ended up having more than one. And the food? It could easily hold its own in any five-star restaurant. Just take a look at these menu highlights:    *   Short Rib Empanada    *   Camarones al Ajillo - Garlic Butter, Red Mizuna Mustard, Grilled Sourdough    *   Octopus al Pastor - Pumpkin Seed Crema, Charred Kale, Roasted Pineapple, Matcha Salsa    *   Scallops - Miso Sweet Potato, Crispy Brussels, Yuzu Brown Butter    *   Tandoori Lamb Chops - Beetroot Chutney, Baby Heirloom Carrots Close your eyes, point at the menu, and order--it's impossible to go wrong. Thirsty, hungry, or both? The Wilder is a must-stop.

Welcome to downtown Fort Lauderdale--where the drinks are overpriced, the noise level is just shy of a rock concert, and the crowd is... well, let's just say, "not exactly my scene." But if that doesn't scare you off, keep reading. This was my experience on Friday, Feb. 28th, 2025 at 7pm. The real star here was the food. If you hit happy hour, it's a pretty solid value. Regular menu prices? A bit of a stretch for the portion sizes, but hey, they call them "small plates" for a reason. If you're sharing, you'll want to order a few different options for the table. First, the low points: the garlic shrimp was just "okay"; nothing to write home about. The birria empanadas didn't really taste like birria--more like straight fried dough. The char siu ribs, though? *Chef's kiss* These were the MVP. The Asian-inspired glaze was on point, and the crispy-yet-tender meat was a textural treat for the senses. Batting middle-of-the-order were the cacio e pepe croquettes which my partner really enjoyed, and the yucca frita which was crispy and well seasoned. Now, about my drink. It was a tequila cocktail, allegedly. I say "allegedly" because I couldn't actually taste any tequila. I usually feel something after even one cocktail, but with this I felt nothing. It came across as a really stingy pour to pad margins. There was also far too much ginger, so it was overall imbalanced. On the bright side, my partner enjoyed all of her drinks, so either I made the wrong choice or she just had better luck. The hostess and our server were both genuinely nice, which definitely helped balance out the experience. No complaints there--big points for good service. If you're in the area and catch happy hour, it's worth a stop--just maybe stick to beer or wine if you want to be sure you're actually getting some alcohol in your drink. And if you're okay with the noise, the downtown d-bags, and the prices, you might just have a good time. Would I come back? Maybe... but only if someone else were buying.

Awesome date night at The Wilder for Valentines Day which was fantastic! The ambiance was very grown and sexy. I indulged in the Playboy drink which was absolutely delicious! The food was also delicious which we enjoyed. We ordered oysters, autumn salad with beets and goat cheese. The ribs were absolutely crispy and delicious without any greese. The octopus was seasoned well and very tender served with potatoes. My husband had the tres leche and I had a dark chocolate dessert with goat cheese. The ambiance was great and turned into a night club lounge once the DJ started spinning and the fire show was also a nice surprise! Fun filled night with delicious food and drinks

On a girls trip we went here for dinner. We sat out in their picturesque patio. We didn't know about their happy hour but ended up getting our whole meal from that menu and shared a bunch of bites. Some of our favorites were the ham and cheese croquettes and the empanadas.

We went for a bday party and the burlesque show. The show is amazing. It's on Sunday brunches. You must make reservations. Make sure you bring cash and only order small plates!!!! There is no room on the table and the tables are little small ones so it's little bar tables. Definitely will go back for a double date. But for a smaller group that's for sure. A must!

Just cocktails yet what amazing cocktails! Thank you to Chase - who made our cocktails and was very helpful! Pistache, Yo Cazadorez Reposado Old Fashioned. They have very generous happy hours - next time We'll make sure to swing back for that & some food. Great outdoor patio - too cold last night - beautiful bar too. 10-stars for us!

Great place for happy hour as well as a date night. There a big parking lot on the back. It is free. Such a unique offering for a place that is on Las Olas. The restaurant is a bit small but it doesn't feel like it because of it's outdoor atmosphere and interior design. An intimate spot for sure. The drinks are strong and food was good with reasonable prices. The service was prompt too.

The ambiance, the decor and the vibe here is amazing! You can see the sign "Wilder" from afar and once you get in--you won't be disappointed. It's so cute, colorful all while giving off a look that it is clean. I especially loved the carpet that goes up to the second floor. This is a great brunch spot where I was able to sit inside on the second floor on a cold morning but still be able to soak up a lot of sun through all the windows. The food was pretty decent and the service was great. I had a coffee which I wasn't too fond of. It was very watery, and I believe I was offered free refills.

I went here with a large group for a birthday. We had a great time. The food was good. However, our drinks took forever. They were also out of vodka - making some drinks unavailable. We had to order drink basically in doubles because we knew it would be forever until we get a drink.

The Proper Happy Hour is THE PERFECT name for this spot. All dishes were $5 - small bites just right to compliment your HH cocktails! The yuca fries were freshly fried and paired with a spicy aioli. The mussels in white wine garlic sauce were prepared perfectly--red sauce can easily overpower this dish, but the white wine base is ideal for achieving PERFECTION! The Pasta a la Vodka with Tagliatelle Pasta, Creamy A La Vodka Sauce & Peas was extra creamy! In love with the pasta used it's one of my fave! The savory Monkey Bread with Jerk Butter Candle was a nice little surprise. And the final pièce de résistance an Old Fashion topped everything nicely! When we paid the final bill, it came out to under $35 (especially because a small plate was complimentary upon check-in!!!) Service was extra friendly & attentive. The live music on a Friday was a great way to kick off the weekend! We will definitely be back soon!

I felt like this was a many place .. personally next time I would just sit at the bar and vibe out. I went for brunch , portion size of the food was small & the drinks were tasty especially the espresso martini. As for the show I thought it would be a consistent show but it seemed like the girls came out ever 45 minutes so that was disappointing

Great Happy Hour spot! The Wilder has great ambience inside and out. At night it definitely has a romantic vibe, and there is sometimes live music. My last visit, during Happy Hour, let me discover some of their tasty dishes. I think we ordered one of eeverything, or just about! The staff is friendly, but I feel maybe stretched too thin on this last visit, as response time and attentiveness was unusually lacking. The food definitely made up for it and the reason for the 4th star honestly. I swore I took pictures, but our table swarmed the dishes. Definitely try the pot pie and the mussels. Oh my goodness. I will definitely return.

I've been meaning to check out The Wilder for a while now and I'm glad I finally stopped in for Happy Hour. The vibes and ambiance are immaculate! I love the bar area and moody decor. The happy hour menu is fantastic. I had the Yuca Frita, Curry Butter Mussels, and Cacio e Pepe croquettes. The food and portions were terrific. The real star was the Curry Butter Mussels, so much flavor! The grilled Naan bread that it came with was so good we had to order some extra! The house martinis (New Amsterdam) were great too, I just wished they had blue cheese stuffed olives! I loved that they also offered free parking and had an outdoor area as well. The only downside was the bartender. He was really not that friendly, and was very aloof. I would definitely recommend The Wilder and will be going back, just hope we get a different bartender next time around!

Went here for happy hour, really enjoyed the vibe and feel of the place. The music was insanely loud for the amount of people in there at 5pm didn't really pick up till about an hour into it. People there were super friendly and the bites I did try were pretty good. I had the cosmo which is on their happy hour menu and it was really good. Everything well mixed that not one flavor took over. They seem to have a good menu that I need to try next time. The outside courtyard has a laxed feel so honestly music caught me off guard when it started. It's definitely now on my go to's for happy hours.

The Wilder is a great spot to check out any day of the week they're open. Come hungry as the kitchen is always serving up a treat! Every cocktail I've tried has been perfectly balanced and they also have an intriguing selection of Zero-proof cocktails (or mocktails if you will) for those that want to keep things a little less wild! Their Sunday brunch is where it's at with a creative food lovers dream of a menu, intriguing cocktails, and a little "Wild"-ness thanks to pop up burlesque performances. I never leave there without getting the Camarones al Ajillo and the Charred Cauliflower. The Sweet Corn Tamale Cake and the Yuca Frita also get honorable mentions as well as their towering avocado hummus toast. Screw it. Just bring a big group and order the whole menu! I haven't tried the blueberry French toast bread budding but it looks incredible as well and I get fomo every time I see it. Maybe next time! I've heard they do a fab happy hour with $5 cocktails and bar bites including mussels and monkey bread. That'll be my next stop if I can battle through rush hour to Broward.

What a great happy hour spot. $5 drinks and aMaZiNg bites. The spot is swanky without being pretentious. I would like hit it with 5 stars, but our server was MIA most of the night. We had to flag her down to get our last drink in before happy hour was over and almost couldn't since she didn't come around much.

Step into this craft cocktail wonderland and prepare to be wowed! From the incredible food to the impeccable service, every moment at this lounge is a delight. Our server, Kiki, was an absolute gem, and the management's hands-on approach (Ashley and Nicole) ensured everything ran smoothly. The drinks were a work of art, and the lively atmosphere, peppered with bachelorette parties, created a perfect blend of out-of-towners and locals. A truly unforgettable experience! Even the steak aficionados among us were blown away by the quality and generous portions! We may have gone a bit overboard, sharing multiple appetizers, but hey, we're used to the smaller plates of Miami. This was absolutely a feast to remember! The food, DJ, cocktails and service make this place an EASY 10/10. We can't wait to try it for brunch. Everything about this place is so well thought out.

Unfortunately the only thing I have to review for the wilder is the completely unprofessional experience I had with them. The restaurant accepted our reservation days in advance, Proceeded to allow us to check in with the host and be seated at a table then tell us. The host handed us a menu and walked away, then returned and said "oh our kitchen is already closed for the evening". I must say in Allllll of my dining experiences this was the most unprofessional thing I've ever experienced and out of fear of the same thing happening to other ppl I wouldn't recommend them atleast not in the evening!

Restaurant is really cute inside and outside and the decorate for holidays. The bartenders are nice and the drinks were good, but the food wasn't great. We ordered a few appetizers, the shrimp was good, and the empanada was okay, but the ribs and mussels were both overcooked and just meh. Flavors were off. I would come back just for drinks.

Went here for a friend's bday. The customer service, ambiance and shows are really good. The food though, is very underwhelming. I had the matcha French toast which was just ok. Maybe it's because it was lukewarm. There was a filling inside that was pretty tasty but my friend said it didn't taste like matcha. I've never had matcha so I'm not sure what it taste like. The fried Yucca was good and I also enjoyed the empanadas but it was very small for the price paid. My drink however, was bomb. Taste great and they did not skimp on the liquor

Came for a friend's birthday, stopped in for happy hour tonight. Food was great, but the bartender wasn't very friendly, nor cared it was our friend's 58th birthday. We were the only people at the bar, and were also in the biz. I guess we just expected a little more enthusiasm, was just a bit odd for dim lit bar. But, the menu & quality of drinks were great!

First time here. Very nice and cute . There was a private party going on so not much tables had open up yet. There are to parts to this place. When you walk in your greeted. There's a bar and little tables. If you go towards the back their a Dj and more tables with another bar. Set up it's very nice. We got a table outside. Ladies please wear a dress or something that you won't be hot in. Outside was hot we asked to turn on the fan. Food we order lamb chops bits, empanadas, chicken wings bites and fried yuca. Drinks espresso, martini. Old-fashioned. A dirty martini. Everything was good except the lamb was Cold and the cauliflower Was cold to. I did tell the waitress. After dinner I asked for an inside table she was nice enough to find us one. There was a show with Fire dance and live dj it was a vibe. It was a great touch. Overall I'll give this restaurant 8/10.

I went for the Burlesque Brunch today (not realizing that was their Sunday event), and it was a fun time. We arrived without a reservation at noon, which is when they open, and the place was completely full within minutes. There were many large parties celebrating birthdays, so it might be best to make a brunch reservation here. I ordered the avocado toast and added scrambled eggs, and it was pretty tasty. My friend ordered the French toast dish, which was also good and very filling. The show itself was entertaining, and I could see how it could be a fun place to celebrate with a group.

4.5 Wonderful experience from our server to the burlesque women. Our waiter took a while to come to our table. I had to go to the bar to let them know we hadn't had anyone come to our table. They gave us a round of complimentary shots for the inconvenience. The burlesque dancers were a lot of fun. They put on a lovely show & didn't mind taking photos. The brunch menu offered a variety of dishes. The food was tasty but pricey for the portions. The cocktails were nice & refreshing. The tables were small. The decor was cute especially on the patio. Funtastic time!

Went for happy hour!! It was great experience! The service was beautiful the scenery outside is super cute. However , because it's getting darker fast I think they should turn on the light bulbs on earlier . Loved everything! The live Music was great! The empanada on the happy hour is only 1 single empanada which was kinda disappointing but it was $6 for birria which makes sense will be going back !

Stopped in for a round of after dinner drinks and were completely blown away by their cocktails, great taste and stellar presentation make this a must do for any date night in Fort Lauderdale. They have Live music and an awesome patio for a more intimate vibe. Great service, they do take and hold your credit card while seated at a table which I thought was a bit strange.

We loved this cocktail bar during our recent visit to Fort Lauderdale! We had already eaten dinner and just went for a nightcap, so we didn't partake in any of the food offerings, but the menu sounded delish and good to know they also do Sunday brunch. Even though it was a Saturday night and they were pretty busy, we were still able to easily snag two seats at the bar. My husband started off with one of their mocktails, the Lush Lofi (mango, almond orgeat, fresh lime, & pineapple). It tasted just like a tiki drink and you honestly couldn't tell there was no alcohol in it. I ordered the Kiss This off their Adventurous Cocktails menu (Don Julio Blanco tequila, St. Germain Elderflower, raspberry, aperol, lime, & eggwhite). I love a cocktail made with eggwhites, which gives it a frothy, velevety mouth feel. The raspberry made it a bit tart, but it was still delish and the presentation was fun. For my second drink, I tried the Playmate (Patron reposado tequila, Chinola passionfruit, carrot, ancho reyes chili, lime, & agave) which was perfectly balanced and right up my alley. I loved the spicy rim garnish and the playmate card that was pinned to the glass for another fun presentation. They had a live musician that night and the vibes were great all around. Will definitely be back the next time were in the area!

Super chic speakeasy that has unique cocktails and delicious tapas, perfect for date night or girls night out. They have events every night and great happy hour deals from 5-7 pm on weeknights. There's two sides to the restaurant, one that's mostly bar area and high booths but it's very tiny and only first two smaller framed people in each side of the booth comfortably. There's velvet high chairs along the bar area. The other side of the restaurant has large sofa chairs and low round tables as well as velvet sofas along the edges of the room. Much more spacious but it holds private events so if you come on an event day like I did, you're stuck on the smaller side and it definitely gets very cramped. There was only one bartender (Nelson) and one server there at 5:30 pm on a Friday. Nelson was amazing with creating the drinks and serving our table. Once it got busy, it was hard for him to check on us or even get to our table cause the bar area was so packed. My Lolita cocktail was amazing. Hints of almond flavor tucked away in waves of passionfruit mixed with rum. Very good and the presentation was beautiful. My coworkers loved their drinks as well. We ordered a bunch of small plates ranging from $5, $7, $9 from their Happy Hour menu which had a great selection of wines and cocktails as well as food. Started with some yuca brava, fried perfectly and seasoned well. Lots of sauce with spices to dip the yuca in. Then the tuna tataki - fresh and flavorful but only two small pieces with a pile of pickled onions and cucumbers. Good for the $9 HH price but at regular price, it's not as worth it. The crispy mushroom 'cheetos' was tasty and crispy. The gochujang crispy chicken drummettes were saucy and delicious, we ended up getting two plates of it. The French dip empanada was meaty and rich. Will definitely come back for more Happy Hour and brunch!

Love coming here for happy hour! There is always parking in the lot next door. There are plenty of drinks to choose from and a nice little food menu for happy hour as well. There is indoor AND outdoor seating, but my favorite is indoors as it is so intimate and lovely inside. Service is always good. I also like that they label their menu with what is and is not gluten free. With that being said there are many gluten free options to choose from on regular menu and happy hour menu!

What a vibe!!! Super chic sexy atmosphere with dark lighting and sensual live music. Service was great and fast even though it was extremely loud in there and dark. Food was DELISH. We went for dinner (which I wouldn't recommend since it felt more tapas / small outing more for drinks) and got the empanadas (5/5), chicken lollipops (3/5 and not phot), tuna tartar (5/5), and the zucchini salad (4/5). Drink were amazing. Definitely on the pricier side but worth it for a good night out.

I went to a Yelp event here and wanted to try brunch at the Wilder. We decided last minute to stop by and give them a try. We made it in time to catch the burlesque show. This brunch is not recommended for children. I enjoyed the show. Service started a little rough , I didn't see a lot of waiters/ waitresses attending to tables. I had to flag someone down to take our order. I ordered the seasonal spritzer which was $30 for bottomless. I wished that they offered more options for bottomless and also their drink options for their brunch menu. I recommend getting the El Diablo this drink has such a unique taste- if you like ginger this drink is for you. The food was delicious, I found no fault with that. My favorite was the empanadas and yuca fries.

I love the sexy dark intimate interior. They also have a backyard and another room for private events. On the weekends they have live DJ and burlesque brunch. We came for Saturday , 8/12/23 for happy hour ( Tues-Sat 5pm-7pm)and had drinks and appetizers. Drinks- daiquiri, margarita, Old Fashioned and from the regular priced menu the Pistache, Yo. The market margarita you were able to taste it took you love the daiquiri it's pretty decent, but I really enjoyed the stash. You had a nice nutty and packed a punch. For food we had the Gochujang Guava Chicken Drumettes and the Sweet Corn and Cheddar Croquettes. Both apps were delicious; I will definitely order again. The croquettes gave you a fried grits feel and the sauce was made with smoked bacon and onion jam ( which had a nice sweet flavor). We also got a tour with Stefan of the back room. Mila the bartender was so sweet and so were the patrons. The music wasn't overly loud. This is a perfect place for a special occasion, date night or out with a group of friends.

What a cute little spot located in Fort Lauderdale off of Broward blvd! We came here for a nightcap after dinner at The Katherine. There is both a spacious outdoor patio and nice lounge vibes inside. We opted to sit outside and ordered a round of drinks. My dirty martini was delish. Service was friendly, and the pricing for the drinks was on point. It seems from some flyers in the menus that they host some regular event programming. Definitely a good spot for date night or girls night out if you're in the area.

The ambiance is killer. Speakeasy vibes inside and a great outdoor patio. Drinks were on point. Happy hour is just unbeatable. 5-7-8 dollar lovely appetizers. Service was great, very attentive. Stick to the appetizers they are solid. Gnocchi entree was not my favorite. Seriously a killer happy hour and night time vibe!

**Vegetarian Friendly** LOVE THIS PLACE! Great local, hidden yet popular spot. The interior design is absolutely beautiful, as is their outdoor patio area. We unexpected came during Happy Hour (includes Food and Drinks from Tuesday to Saturday 5 - 7pm) - and we enjoyed having the entire place to ourselves! Appetizers/Main Course: (1) Sweet Corn and Cheddar Croquettes (2) Yuca Fries (3) Crispy Mushroom "Cheetos" - We were intrigued just be the name of this, and my best description is it's similar to a bloomin' onion (4) Red Pepper Feta Dip - Excellent balance of salty feta and sweet red peppers. Don't forget to order extra bread! Everything was scrumptious, and can't wait to come back! I recommend family-style so you can eat everything. They have a delicious looking main course and brunch menu that we are waiting to come back for! We can't say enough about this place. We love coming here, and we hope you do too!

This has to be one of the nicest bars I've ever been to in South Florida. The decor is amazing. You can actually sit at a table and it's not a VIP bottle service table. It's a nice relaxing atmosphere with a bunch of tables outside as well and a free parking lot in the back. The drinks were amazing. The bartenders were very friendly as well overall this season, a five star bar.

I really like The Wilder, but this past time I went for happy hour service was pretty rough. I'll definitely go back again to give them another chance, because the food, drinks, happy hour prices, and ambiance are all great. I love the vibe- very cool patio with a lot of low seats and couches. The front bar feels very cozy. Happy hour prices were awesome- we got two drinks each and four appetizers for under $50 total. Hopefully next time service will improve to match the other great characteristics!

Small space but very good decor and outside seating is perfect. I thought they would have good cocktails which was correct but the food was even better! Mussels and empanadas I would highly recommend. This place is great for the end of the night to chill out the vibe.

I went for my birthday and reserved the burlesque brunch. It was such an amazing time. The ladies were very interactive with guests. They made everyone celebrating feel special. The empanadas and yuca fritas were to die for. Their birdcage drink options were amazing. Highly recommend.

The food and service was superb. I was lucky enough to meet the talented bartender Jean here, who is a complete wizard when it comes to craft cocktails. If you want a delicious drink & fantastic food this is the bar or table top to come sit at. Classy yet not pretentious, just does a good job. I recommend the bar top! So you can watch Jean work and ask him for recs bc he is so knowledgeable. Ian was also so hospitable and gave great service! Highly recommend.
