"Wreck Bar is not home to the best drinks and food in town—far from it. But we're telling you about it because it is home to one of our favorite things to do in Fort Lauderdale: mermaid burlesque. It's exactly what it sounds like: an underwater ticketed mermaid burlesque show viewed via the little portholes behind the bar, which look into the hotel's pool. You want to come here for the adults-only show on Friday and Saturday, when you can have a good time hooting and hollering with some really talented performers, who manage to not only look cool underwater—but do so while wearing mermaid tails and doing very effective prop comedy. " - Ryan Pfeffer

"At the B Ocean Resort on Fort Lauderdale Beach, you can watch underwater mermaid shows throughout the week at its Wreck Bar. Its Mermaids & Mimosa Brunch on weekends is family-friendly, and bottomless mimosas are available for adults. Just make sure to buy a ticket ahead of time." - Jesse Scott

"Editor's note: The mermaid burlesque show we experienced here has ended amid a splash of mermaid controversy. The hotel has moved towards a more family-friendly version of this show, which sounds a lot less fun. The Wreck Bar is a historic bar located in the lobby of B Ocean, a hotel on A1A. It is not home to the best drinks and food in town—far from it. But we're telling you about it because it is home to one of our favorite things to do in Fort Lauderdale: mermaid burlesque. It's exactly what it sounds like: an underwater mermaid burlesque dinner show viewed via the little portholes behind the bar, which look into the hotel's pool. You want to come here for the adults-only show on Friday and Saturday, when you can have a drunken good time hooting and hollering with some really talented performers, who manage to not only look cool underwater—but do so while wearing mermaid tails and doing very effect prop comedy. It's a bit of a tourist trap, and a tad expensive. Tickets cost $65 ($35 of that is applied as a credit for food and drinks) and we recommend eating before you come and sticking to beer, wine, or straight liquor for drinks." - Ryan Pfeffer

Stopped here on our first night staying nearby at the Marriott. We were intrigued by the mermaid concept, but once inside, it felt a bit uncomfortable. The inside is very dark, and we felt a bit closed in. We got a drink and wings, and they were decent. The bartender was nice. We didn't stay long.

The Wreck Bar at the B Ocean Resort—the mermaid show—- or as I’ve come to think of it, the WRECK Bar—managed to transform what should have been a charming brunch into a truly lamentable spectacle. At $85 a plate, this mermaid-themed brunch is nothing more than a gimmick-laden farce, made even more galling by the faded grandeur of its storied past. Joe DiMaggio and Marilyn Monroe may once have graced this space, but today’s diners would be better served by the ghost of that bygone era than by the current culinary catastrophe. Part of my impetus to endure this brunch came from an unlikely source of star power: the show “it’s Florida Man” on HBO, which featured one of the mermaids who now graces this tank with her red-haired wig. I had hoped to see her weave some of that on-screen magic into this brunch performance. Regrettably, it was a brief glimmer in an otherwise dreary affair. The mermaid was indeed there, and her hair was impressively vibrant, but it wasn’t nearly enough to distract from the lifeless cardboard masquerading as waffles or the chicken so charred it could pass as a burnt offering. The room itself felt less like an upscale brunch and more like a preschool rec room on a sugar high—children squealing and chattering as though brunch was merely an inconvenient pause between rounds of mermaid-spotting. It would have been endearing if the food had not been an outright affront. My chicken and waffles would have made better building materials than a meal: the waffle was flat, dry, and unworthy of even the most meager syrupy salvation. Indeed, in a final flourish of disappointment, I found myself wishing I’d simply stayed home and watched a rerun of “Florida Man” instead of subjecting myself to this sad spectacle. The bottomless mimosas might have dulled the edges of this culinary wreckage, but no amount of champagne could revive the corpse of what was once a proud landmark. One star—no more.

Such a fun spot! We came to the Wreck Bar for the mermaid show and it didn’t disappoint. The atmosphere is really unique, and watching the performance through the porthole windows made for a one-of-a-kind experience. Went with friends and we all had a great time. Drinks were solid, service was friendly, and the whole night was memorable. Definitely worth checking out if you’re in Fort Lauderdale.

This is a very unique place. I was lucky to be invited to an event here. They had a buffet out. I tried a few of the dishes and I didn't think anything was particularly good. Out of those. Some of them were a bit old because they had been sitting out so that could have something to do with it. The drinks are very good but the highlight is obviously the mermaid show. This is a very unique bar and I really enjoyed the decor and the staff there. I would go back.

We bought tickets to the mermaid show and went to the brunch beforehand. Tickets are $15 each online, and brunch is priced at $85 per adult and $30 per child (ages 12 and under). For two adults and two young kids (ages 2 and 4), our total came to over $300 with tax and gratuity. It’s not made clear that the brunch is optional—you can absolutely enjoy the mermaid show without it. The food was disappointing, and we didn’t receive our main courses until nearly two hours after being seated. The show itself is worth seeing, but skip the brunch and grab lunch somewhere else instead.

Food was just OK. Cocktails weren’t bad. Atmosphere isn’t that great since one wall of the bar is all glass that looks out on the lobby and it’s obvious that the mermaids are in a swimming pool since there are depth markings on the wall.

We had a great time watching the Mermaids and Mimosas show by sitting at the bar. We had a great view and even got to be interactive with the mermaid and merman at the window by the kitchen. They were customer oriented and fun! The food was delicious, and the Mimosas were great! The bartender was friendly and had a good sense of humor! We had steak and fries and an omelet with sides. Dessert was a yummy chocolate cake slice and the best ever bread pudding!! Great service, too. Get reservations for sure. You will have an enjoyable evening!

Went to the Siren Serenade. It was ok... but way, way overpriced. All in, it was $300 for 2 people with 2 meals and 3 total drinks. The show was 45 minutes and the way the windows work you will miss 1/3 of it. I feel bad because the girls seemed to be having fun and care... but it's just not a good value at all. I think it the tickets were half the price, it would have been price more appropriate.

For an off the beaten path experience, you have to journey to the Wreck Bar in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. The Wreck Bar is the home of a world famous mermaid show. The bar was built in 1956 and was made to look like a wrecked Spanish Galleon(sailing ship). The bar has windows that look into the bottom of the deep swimming pool that the mermaids perform in. This placed while its historic charm, it has modern amenities that make it an exciting and delicious dining experience. This place has some different reviews, as everyone's experience varies, ours was great. The "Mermaid & Mimosas" Bruch has your palate, featuring unique ingredients that create a tropical cocktail experience. The delicious mimosas are a hit among guests, and a must try. My wife had the Buttermilk-poached organic chicken, which is a combination of chicken, brussels sprouts, cannellini beans in a Barolo Demi-glaze. There is an option for a seared foil grass but she opted for the Béarnaise Sauce with the Parmesan Truffle Fries. It was unqiue and amazing, I opted for the 14oz (26 day dry aged) Strip Steak, that is served with Herbs de Provence that has a hint of light smoked flavor.I want with the White Truffle Butter as an accompaniment and the Gouda Cheese potato as my side. For drinks, I choose the Havana Club Hemingway, which is made with Havana Club Blanco Classico Run, grape fruit and lime juice with a Maraschino cherry. My wife opted for the Mai Tai, which's has Cruz-an White & black rums, Orange Curaco and Orgreal topped with lime and grenadine. Our seating was right next to the porthole and we had clear view of the show, the service was amazing and attentive for a themed bar. As this is not the only mermaid burlesque show in the United States. The total nautical theme is not seen much anyone. What for Medusirena, the fire-eating mermaid, she is usually featured on Friday's during happy hour. A true delight and was the highlight of the show for me. If you love nautical themes and mermaids this is the place to stop in Florida.

I was extremely impressed! We paid $90 for brunch, which included bottomless mimosas ,an appetizer from a list, entrée from a list of options and variety of desserts. The food was good, I had the raw oysters, which were phenomenal, the steak Which was very nice and Keylime pie; others in my party had the crème brûlée for dessert and they loved it. The mermaid show was really nice, you have an opportunity to take pictures, and see them swim, they are very interactive. The environment is good, not too loud, not many kids which was great for us , mostly adults. They had a Dj, who was very chill and most importantly was not play overly loud music. The experience and service was great truly, nice environment and friendly atmosphere for family and kids or even an afternoon date. And it's right next to the beach, so if it's not too hot, it makes for a perfect beach day after.

I will need to go back I arrived to the show late so my seats were not the best and I couldn't really see the girls. But the staff accommodated us as best they could. It was great. Getting here was hard cause I didn't realize it was in the hotel. The restaurant was super dark and a bit loud ( we were in the back). I wonder if brunch will be different. From what I was able to see the women were phenomenal. This was my first burlesque show. If you cannot eat seafood this is not the place to go. I'm allergic so I just had the Latin sushi roll which is meat wrapped in rice and plantain on top. The drinks were good a bit sweet but really good.

One of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. Now first I'm well aware that most hotel restaurants don't really cook but rather simply just microwave precooked dinners. How hard can that be? Well our dinner I don't think my dog would eat. Also the service was awful and slow. I should have known when walking in when I had to ask if we seat ourselves or have to be seated. The only good thing about the dinner was the hot mermaid swimming in the pool. What a rip off! I would not waste your time here unless you have an obsession of mermaids.

The brunch experience here was a fun time. I've lived in the area for over 10 years but never went since I felt it was a tourist experience. I was pleasantly surprised and would totally recommend trying this out if you haven't. I need to try the burlesque dinner show, but I have only amazing things to say about the brunch. How can you beat bottomless Mimosas and a three course brunch. Adults are $65++ but worth every bit since you get food, drink, and a show. We never had an empty cup. The service was phenomenal. We sat at the bar, which gave the best view of the mermaids. It was great to try a bunch of options. Me and the hubby tried different apps, entrees, and desserts to get a taste of it all. We started with the waffles and oysters, super tasty. I loved the Benedict, it had prosciutto on it. My husband created his own omelet, which was fluffy and flavorful. The bread pudding was good but I just had to get the key lime pie, it's my weakness. It was all delicious. Don't be deterred by the price or because you think it's a tourist spot. It was a fun way to spend a Sunday morning, plus right after brunch you can go sit and enjoy the beach just steps away!

This has been a popular Florida tourist attraction for decades. However, lately ... not sure why ... but they kind of ruined it. It USED TO BE a Mermaid show where performers in brightly colored Mermaid costumes swam gracefully by the windows while you were dining ... did flips and turns ... and actually looked like real mermaids. As society slowly starts to degrade and fall apart before our eyes, so did this show. Perhaps now it should be 'The Wreck Bar sponsored by Porn Hubb" There is only one performer who wears a mermaid costume now, at the end of the show. The others wear stripper-like lingerie. They don't wear tails or fins ... it's basically mostly clothed strippers swimming around the windows and seductively waving through the glass. It's not a terrible show ... but it just lacks the old mermaid magic and whimsy. Even the announcer sounds like he walked straight out of the DJ booth at Mons Venus. The kicker is now you pay $65 for the show ... granted $35 per ticket comes as a food/beverage credit. So you basically pay $30 for the ticket and $35 for the food, of which I've had Stouffers TV dinners that were more appetizing. The drinks here are surprisingly weak for a 'Wreck Bar' and expensive. $35 won't even get you a burger and a beer here, so plan on your dinner bill exceeding the $35 food credit, included with the $65 ticket. The performers come around with a bucket asking for tips after the show. (I guess the $30 goes to the resort?) Don't get me wrong ... the girls work hard for their tips swimming around in nipple tassels underwater for 30 minutes, or so. There really isn't a storyline, choreography or anything new ... every few seconds a girl dips down in front of a window, blows kisses, poses for a picture and then floats back up until the next girl comes down. Techno music plays throughout. This is still something unique to see and the bar looks like an old ship with portholes, etc. which is pretty cool. It's overall pretty unique ... although when there were all mermaids and the show was slightly less risque, I think it was a whole lot better. The food has always been bad ... but the show used to be better. Still worth it to do, if you have never been ... but I wouldn't rush to go back until it goes back to being a true mermaid show. You'd get more for your dollar at Solid Gold Gentleman's Club downtown.

My wife and I came here for the mermaid burlesque show and dinner. The bartender, Mark, was excellent as were the cocktails. The ceviche was very good also, but the seafood pasta was mostly pasta with very little seafood. The mermaid burlesque show was enjoyable I guess. The crowd seemed to enjoy it more than I did. It was really just women and one man appearing in front of the windows and removing an item of clothing without ever revealing full nudity of any kind. I did not expect nudity of course, but I thought there would be more gymnastics or something. There was also one performer who was quite heavy and unattractive whom I could have done without.

We came here for the mermaid brunch. The environment was so fun. Everyone was there celebrating and having a great time. The show itself was unique, fun and different. It's very pricey. $85 for adults and $30 for kids. There was a fun dj. It doesn't feel like you're in a ship with all the aquariums around the restaurant and then the mermaid windows. That was very cool. The food was really good. The service was mediocre. The server didn't seem thrilled to be there. She seemed like a disgruntled greasy spoon server. I would expect better service for the environment and price. I couldn't even get a drink. Overall we enjoyed the food and the show.

I came here for a girls night bday celebration and it did not disappoint! We booked the Friday night mermaid burlesque show that started at 8pm. The doors open at 6:30, and I recommend that you get there early to get a good seat! They have a full bar with a nice selection of cocktails. We ordered the hot naked crab tower, braised beef short rib pasta, Gouda cheese mashed potatoes which were out of this world, and truffle fries. The service was good - everyone was very attentive and service was quick even during the performance. The performance was fun and entertaining. I think this is a great spot if you're from out of town looking for a good dinner and show but also if you're local and just looking for a new exciting thing to do! I'm interested in coming back for their mermaid brunch!

The food was actually better than the mermaid show. The sushi was on point and the salad really quite nice. We went to the show because the weather was terrible and we were looking for something to do... it was a one and done sorta experience - kitschy at best. Show comes with a deductible spend against the price of admission - so there is incentive to order drinks and or food. IMO food was much much better than the show... but glad we did it once.

This was definitely a unique experience! There was a mermaid and merman that took turns in the water. Half the place was little kids in mermaid costumes which we weren't really expecting. It was like a Disney experience with all the little kids. I bet at night it is definitely a different experience. The food was good though, pretty general.

My friends and I had such a fun time celebrating a bachelorette party at The Wreck Bar during their Mermaids & Mimosas Sunday brunch! Our server, Valeria, was incredible. Always kept the mimosas full and was so lovely in providing great recommendations. It's a three course menu (you choose one appetizer, one entree and one dessert) + bottomless mimosas. I opted for the Belgian waffle, French omelette and key lime pie. Everything was absolutely delish! There's two photo ops with the mermaids (both while they're in and outside the water), so it makes for a really fun experience. Definitely recommend for a celebration or as a family-friendly activity. :)

We visited during our vacation and took our kids to mermaids and mimosas. It was pricey, however, I would highly recommend coming here! The bar was really cool it's made to look like a sunken ship and there are fish tanks on the wall. The show was well organized, everyone had a chance to get pictures with the mermaids. The mermaids did a great job entertaining and interacting with the crowd. I was surprised by how good the food and service was. My husband had the oysters and I had the watermelon salad, both were delicious. We both had the filet and fries which were cooked perfectly. My kids had the chocolate chip pancakes and there wasn't any left. Definitely a fun place for a special occasion or vacation!

We purchased tickets in advance from Eventbrite for the Mermaid Burlesque show on a Saturday night at 8pm. Located at the Wreck Bar within the B Ocean Resort on Fort Lauderdale Beach, the tickets are $65 with a $35 credit for food and beverage. They offer complimentary validated valet parking. We arrived to the small bar around 7:30 and sat at a small table in the middle. I ordered the Fried Oyster Tacos $24 with a side of mashed potatoes $10 and both were delicious. My friend did not like the crab cake. She said it had an odd taste but she did not say anything. Our server bartender was so nice and helpful. The DJ was playing great music. The four underwater performers were entertaining but the show only lasts about a half hour. They come out afterwards to interact, take tips and photos with the audience. Everyone working there was so nice.

Average food and drinks. Nothing special. Good service, though, made it worthwhile instead of going somewhere else.

This place was horrible. The mermaid was very nice, but it was one mermaid. It cannot be called mermaids and mimosas if there's only one mermaid. And the mimosas were full of pulp and we had to continually ask to get a refill on our tiny champagne glass. Other tables were getting caraffs, I'm not sure why we were left out of this. The table next to us did not get their food until 10 minutes before closing. The wait staff and customer service was abysmal at best. The food was actually quite good except for the dessert, which made our stomach churn. The creme brulee was not cooked at all. At the end of the meal you will get an additional bill for $17 per person for tax and gratuity. I don't understand what this was for as we already paid gratuity online. I feel like it was somewhat of a scam. What happens to the people that left early? Did they just not have to pay? The bathroom was across the lobby. It was clean enough. There is a parking garage across the street if you don't want to valet, but the parking attendant there tried to get us to pay him $20 for no reason. It was really awkward. We refused to pay him anything any finally let us in the parking garage and told us to go to the third floor so we could walk over to the elevators and get down to the lobby. I would not recommend going here... Not worth the money

One of the most fun things you can do in Ft. Lauderdale. The mermaid show is wil, wacky, way cool. Where else do you see a mermaid wearing roller skates!? The only reason this is not 5 stars is that their cocktails were horrible. Truly bad. We tried 4 and none were good. So, get a beer or wine instead and you'll have a fantastic time. Food on the other hand was tasty. Grilled octopus was the table favorite. And the ice berg salad hit the spot. Definitely big enough for 2 people to share. Pro tip: get there early yo get a seat a the bar. If not at the bar sit at one of the booths so everyone can watch the show. Pro tip 2: Bring cash. The mermaids walk around the bar (don't ask me how they do that) taking pictures sno you want to have some cash for their treasure box. I promise that's what they call it.

A must do in Fort Lauderdale! Book the Mermaids and Mimosas at The Wreck Bar located within B Ocean Resort. We were delightfully entertained by the mermaids and merman before and after they swam while eating great food and drinking bottomless mimosas. we were served a 3 course meal by Mark our server who was on spot with his service. The DJ offered to take pictures of us and I feel bad because I can't remember his name to share it here. The lighting and music created a relaxing and fun themed shipwreck atmosphere. Truly a magical memory for my husband and I.

The kid friendly Mermaid show was enjoyed by everyone. The food was surprisingly delicious, the show interactive and educational. Our server was just okay, the tip is included which I don't care for. The mermaids were beautiful, fun and entertaining! I thinks it's worth the $55.00 price which does include a $35.00 meal of your choice from the menu.

MeduSirena AquaBurlesque Show is absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommend. A must see and experience.

The Mermaid burlesque show is what's making this review 4 stars instead of 3. The show itself is super unique and we were really shocked at how the women were able to stay underwater so long. It's definitely a fun place for a birthday or bachelorette party. The food was decent but nothing too extravagant. The menu seemed to be mostly seafood. The drinks were not very well made and the service was slow. Overall the show was the best part.

We brought our 7 year old daughter for Easter brunch to see the Mermaid Show. We loved it! The food was great, but the service was incredible! Valeria doted on our daughter and was incredibly sweet- Shanice was wonderful too! We made incredible memories and the mermaid show was wonderful.

Not what I had expected - went to the Friday night burlesque show but it was more like an underwater strip show and sadly only 1 woman (out of 4 woman) was briefly wearing a mermaid costume. Food wasn't that flavorful and drinks were sweet. DJ was amazing! All the staff was extremely friendly!

I went to the Wreck Bar a year ago and enjoyed the experience but this year was even better as the food quality and menu choices have improved. Unlike last year there is now sushi on the menu and I thought it would be supermarket quality but it wasn't and I was surprised how good it was. I believe there is a sushi restaurant in the Hotel so that would make sense. Drinks were also good and despite being busy the bartenders were friendly and engaging. There was a minor disappointment though; I thought the show last year was better and a little campier with better pacing as the recent show had several lapses where there were no performers visible or just a single performer that we were able to see. Not a big deal though because The Wreck Bar is different and unique to South Florida and is a fun place to enjoy drinks and a show with friends.

Would have given 5 stars but food selection did not appeal to my taste buds. I ordered ceviche and drinks they both were great! Mark the bartender was phenomenal! He made jokes as soon as we sat at the bar and was extremely friendly the entire time not to mention he made some great drinks. Make sure you sit at the bar if you're trying to see the show you'll get the best view. The DJ was also awesome he came out of the booth to interact with the crowd and shout out birthdays. The mermaid entertainers had a wonderful show. I went to the 21+ show and it did not let me down. Marvelous ambiance. Place not very big though.

Yelp
Mermaid show was cool. Chicken pasta was good. Wish there was a description of the sushi. Waitress didn't have much info on it and just said "if you have to ask, you don't need to order it". Kind of rude but understood. Waitress didn't have knowledge of what liqours were stocked for the bar. Didn't mention jim beam when I asked about bourbon lol. The DJ had everyone pretty hype. Before the show they called out all the people with birthdays and made them dance individually!! Overall good time. Expensive IMO. You get a $35 credit towards food/ drink when purchasing a ticket. Valet is validated!!! This was huge!!

Wow is first thing that comes to mind. They give an excellent show. The dj was very interactive. Called out all birthday celebrations and even called out one those tried to sneak thru with out telling them (me) lol. Mermaid show was phenomenal those ladies are talented to be under water the whole time.. service is their downfar.. took awhile to food and drinks and server was rude and didn't know much about menu it drink selection..

Came for a valentines date. Everything went amazing. There's a wide variety of seafood on the menu with the exception of some chicken and steaks. The cocktails were delicious and the show was incredible. Would definitely come back for more. It was a pleasure experiencing this dinner and show

Foods mediocre and very expensive. Nice atmosphere and staff are very friendly. I think you could do better elsewhere.

The review is specifically for a reservation for the Burlesque Mermaid show on a Friday night. The pricing model has changed for The Wreck since a lot of the reviews here were written, and none of the people I spoke to locally were aware this is now a paid ticket - $65 with $35 of this going towards your food. I wouldn't want anyone to think the show itself isn't a lot of fun, so let's talk about the most important thing first. The performers are great! The night we went, Pilikia hosted - starting in the bar with us. She noted that the leader was not performing that night, so she was running the show instead. You'd never think she wasn't in charge, so I'm guessing this is a role she takes up fairly regularly. She then joined the other performers, 4 of them in total, and the show lasted about 30 minutes in total. It felt the perfect length as naturally there is only so many things you can do in the water, and each took turns in the spotlight, sometimes pairing up. We liked the diversity of the performers, certainly something for everyone! The only disappointment was they don't wear their tails, but I'm guessing this is probably for logistical reasons. I have zero complaint with regards to the creative aspect of the night, so the final score definitely doesn't reflect this aspect. The bar itself is small and fun, having the swimming pool visible is definitely a unique aspect and it's the perfect environment for the show. The hotel itself seems nice and upscale too, I've been here briefly before some years ago but this was the first time at The Wreck itself. The hostess and wait staff were friendly and catered to our requests with no issues, checking on availability of things that weren't usually served. Prior to the show starting at 8:30, for about 40 minutes the DJ brings the crowd up to a roar and was definitely more amped up than I was expecting. I'm glad we arrived early and had eaten our dinner by this point, as the music gets loud and he's on the mic regularly playing games with everyone. If it's your birthday or you're celebrating, do not tell the servers this unless you're into crowd participation because you *will* be dancing with him in front of everyone. You have been warned! On to the part that stops this from being a strong recommendation. It feels that for the experience, they should either uncharge on food and drink or charge an entry fee, but unfortunately they decided to go with both. For 3 of us to watch, have a simple meal (no appetizers, and the most basic entrees), soft drinks except myself who had 2 beers it came to around $250. Previously the show was free if you spent a minimum of $30 while there, but adding the extra charge takes this from a night out you could partake in whenever you had friends in town up for a unique experience to one you'd probably just tell them to enjoy by themselves once you've been once. And that's a genuine shame! I guess with the small capacity and hotel guests with plenty of money to burn they've decided to just push the locals aside these days. The food itself was... fine? I've attached the menus to my review because the price might shock for what was essentially serviceable food. I could easily get better elsewhere for half the price, but that would've been fine if not for the $30 entry fee. If I was to do it again I'd come as a couple (or perhaps a group divisible by 2?) as even though we arrived super early and the place was empty, we were put on the tables at the back. In front of us were tables for 2, and then the bar. It's still a good view, but feels like getting up close to the glass would be the best experience for a show like this. One group of 3 was at the bar, but they didn't give the 3rd person a chair! It did feel like we wasted an hour though, as we were hoping to get better seats, and it's 2 hours before the show starts. I'd also probably eat and drink a few cocktails at a happy hour beforehand and will definitely be in the mood for the party environment, with the $35 credit covering 2 drinks at The Wreck. Nobody at the bar was eating from what we saw. In other things that really should be included in the writeup when you buy tickets - you can valet and they'll stamp the ticket at the bar, but the prices for this looked super high too (unsurprisingly). We used the public lot next door and it cost around $12 based on guesswork as to how long we'd be there. If you don't want to hang around after the show you'll be out around 9:30 or so. But more importantly... bring cash! Once the show is over, the mermaids come to the bar and each have 'treasure chests' for tips, and it's nice to show appreciation to them, chat, take photos etc. We scrambled to get what we could between us because - it's 2022 and most of us only carry our cards most the time! It could've been a bit embarrassing, and I wonder how many people get caught out. It seems the setup for this has changed a few times over the years, and hopefully it will get looked at again.

The mermaid show was a COMPLETE JOKE AND WASTE OF MONEY. And I was a complete idiot for paying $65 per ticket for the show. HORRIBLE.

We had higher expectations for The Wreck Bar. For $68.00+ a person the Wreck Bar fell short in food, service and entertainment. We showed up at 7:00 and we were seated right away. We were given food and drink menus. An alcoholic beverage started at $15.00. Being that the food credit was $35 we opted not to get drinks. I ordered the Chicken Orecchiette and my boyfriend ordered the 10oz. Center-Cut Beef Tenderloin with a side of French fries. Both meals lacked flavor. I added salt to the pasta but it didn't help much. The pasta was over cooked and the cheese sauce had no flavor. I ate all the chicken I could find but the meal was mostly pasta. My boyfriend likes a quality cut of steak and his tenderloin was fatty and also lacked flavor. We mostly ate fries to fill us up. After being served, the staff didn't ask us how the meal was so we were unable to provide feedback or ask for something else. As for the show, it's a cool concept but we felt it could be improved upon. The show started about 30 minutes late and we were hoping it would make up for the food. There were four mermaids and it was hard to see them at all times from our seats. The mermaids themselves put on a good show but we just couldn't see much. There were funny and sexy moments but, again, for $68.00+ a person I was hoping for consistent entertainment. In addition to the $68.00 a person our bill was an additional $53.00 for going over our $35.00 credit. Gratuity was included with our bill but because the lighting is dim I had to pull out my phone light to review the charges.

Valerie was our server during the mermaid burlesque show. Both the show and Valerie are worth coming back for :) The DJ is a ton of fun and kept the party going before and after the show!

I want to say thank you to the staff at the Wreck Bar who were working on the evening of 12/29/23 - particularly Shannell, Shaniqa, and Venetia. Some members of my party had to leave the burlesque show before it started due to a family emergency. When I told the hostess to remove their names from the list of celebrations, she spoke to the manager and refunded their tickets. I really appreciate their kindness and understanding. The remaining guests in my party really enjoyed the drinks, entrees and desserts. The mermaid burlesque show was phenomenal as was the entertainment provided pre show by the DJ. I would recommend this as an amazing and unique experience! My family and I plan to return for both the mermaid and mermen burlesque shows again.

We had a great time at mermaids and mimosas! The mermaid and merman were so talented, beautiful and welcoming. My kids aged 4, 7, 9y were all entertained the whole time. they were able to take pics at the porthole with the mermaid swimming in the back and spoke to the mermaids for a little bit when they came into the bar to mingle. the decor of the bar was really cool. the food was good and they refilled the mimosas often. overall great day and I highly recommend.

Want something fun to do on a Saturday night? Well go to B Ocean and in the Wreck Bar you can witness live mermaids doing a burlesque show. Thats not all they have they also have an aquaman show! Marina the fire eating mermaid and her troupe of aqua lovelys perform Friday Saturday and at Sunday brunch for patrons! HOW do I know about this show? Well, my dad performed here for 29 years when it was the Yankee Clipper and they had mermaid shows back then but nothing compares to the ones they have now! Marina The fire eating mermaid and her troupe of aqua stars perform an underwater delight that you HAVE to see to believe it! Its clean yet daring and its all done underwater. You stay dry they get wet! When you purchase tickets to the show a percentage comes back to you in the form of a food voucher so you can eat before the show and drinks are an additional fee. We chose the Painkiller drink which was like an unfrozen pina colada. They dont make frozen drinks so that was light and refreshing! Everyone ordered something different. I had the scallops (two scallops) on top of risotto. It was really tasty and an endive salad that had a sweet dressing that was fabulous. I saw the fish tacos and short rib with pasta some mashed potatoes and chicken marsala! It all looked delicious! My cousin who is a vegan had their beet salad and he loved it! IF you want a night out and have some fun seeing mermaids perform before your eyes GO see the Mermaid show at the world famous Wreck Bar at the B Ocean hotel! You will love it! I did! No better way to bring in my 57birthday than in the room my dad performed in 29 years seeing a top notch mermaid extravaganza show!

Wow!!! Dinner & drinks & a Mermaid Burlesque Show. Oh what a night!!!!! The food was great but the show was incredible. Loved every minute of it!!!

This is a fun bar inside the B hotel. Get there early if you want a seat at the bar. You need reservations, especially on a weekend night. We were a party of 4 and the second ones in the door, we were forced to take a table and not allowed to sit at the bar, that is seating reserved for parties of 2. The dj gets the place going with his tunes and the disco ball puts energy into the place before the show begins. It is pretty loud at that point. The food was pretty good, I had a poke bowl and 2 mojitos. Food was fresh and flavorful as you would hope for. The mojito was also fresh muddled mint and cane sugar, very enjoyable. The Friday night burlesque show was fun. The performers will come out and introduce themselves first, and after the show they come back out with their treasure chest to collect tips and give photo ops. Bring cash for this, you don't want to feel like a schmuck as they walk by and you don't even have a dollar to drop in, ha! Definitely go and check it out!

We finally had the opportunity to see the Mermaid show, took us a couple of years to get back here, but it was worth the wait. We got there early and enjoyed a leisurely dinner and drinks before the show started. Our tickets included a food credit and we opted to split an appetizer of citrus ahi tuna, a salad, and a dry aged steak. Everything was very good, although the steak had a little more gristle than we cared for. The D.J. gets the crowd ( full house by the way) going with a name the tune game. The shows creator comes out and tell us about the show and then they get started. We were told that the bar has been here since the 1950's and lots of celebrities have visited. The mermaids drop down in front of the many windows above the bar. Lots of swimming back and forth as the show progresses layers of swimsuits are peeled off! It was a unique experience and must be seen

Valeria was amazing The Wreck Bar hosted my company's dinner during one of their mermaid burlesque show experiences and I have to say, IT WAS PHENOMENAL. The entire vibe of the night was so incredibly fun. The performers were so talented and sweet. The DJ was a hoot and our server Valeria was literally THE BEST. She took care of our entire 35+ team with such ease. She was the sweetest and so incredibly helpful. She truly went above and beyond. I would come back to Florida just to see her over and over again.

7/11/2019 - If you live in Florida or are just visiting, you must visit pay a visit to Ft. Lauderdale's landmark, The Wreck Bar. We went on Thursday night and they have THE AQUAMEN show, it's a male burlesque show. Admission to the show is free with a minimum of $30 spent in food or beverage during the show. I was invited to join a group of female Yelpers to enjoy this show. Reservations were made at 7:30 p.m. We arrived and joined everyone. Our server greeted us with a glass of champagne. After looking over at the menu, I ordered their pear salad and a side of truffle fries. The food was delicious!!! They have a DJ that gets the crowd pumping and energized before the show. The show starts at 9pm. The DJ goes around the room pointing out Bachelorette parties, birthdays, etc. We were told that the "theme" of the night was Rocky. When the show started the guys started swimming in full great, boxing each other and gesturing for the crowd to clap. It is very entertaining, especially with the music. As the show goes on, the guys keep losing items of clothing. At the end, they are shirtless, some are wearing shorts, some speedos and some G-strings. Get those singles ready ladies because once they are done putting a show, they join the crowd inside for TIPS. They interact with the crowd dancing and posing for pictures. It's like Chippendales on Water. I had previously been to an event for Yelp for the MERMAID SHOW and it was fantastic!!! Highly recommend both shows. Reservations a highly suggested.

We went for the Thursday night male burlesque show. You need to make a reservation. Show starts at 9pm but you get seated by 7:30pm. The performers swim for 20 minutes and then come in the bar for dancing and photos. They have a DJ keeping the crowd entertained. It is a minimum $30 spend on food or drink and the show is included. They use the same food and drink menu as naked crab. I tasted the chicken and polenta and it was excellent. Someone in our group had a birthday and they brought out a slice of chocolate mouse cake and ice cream. We had good service and they provided separate checks for our large group. A service charge of 18% was included and a line for additional tip. Valet is $5 with validation from your server.

Food was cold, and not tasty. Limited menu, was not worth the price. The DJ sucked, music could've been a lot better. The waitresses did not introduce themselves, never checked in to see how we liked everything or asked if we needed anything. It was supposed to be bottomless mimosas and they took at least 15 minutes before they came and filled up my glass. They decided to leave a jug there but it had no cover on it so a bug ended up in it and instead of replacing it they just took it up all together and never bring another one out to us. We ended up paying more money than was advertised. We already bought tickets online that was pretty much $80/per person then was charged an additional $20/per person. The show was mediocre at best . Will not return and will not recommend to anyone.

Hidden in the depths of B Ocean be transformed into a small intimate bar with views of a mermaid show! Known for the ladies with mermaid tails, B Ocean has decided to go for a different spin! Thursday night ladies night will never be the same! The merman have moved in and are showing their moves! Same set up with dinner, drinks and a show and now dancing is a fun new addition! For the menu, steak is served on a block of salt and is amazing! The salads are big portion and really filling. Pastas have a lot of flavor and we were all very happy with the food.

Call a day ahead or more and make reservations. They are open for Sunday brunch. I'm so glad that's the only day we could attend because it wasn't adults only. I don't want to see ladies in lingerie with my boyfriend!!!!! The bartender was very good. We sat at the bar, the best seat in house, closest to the mermaids. My bf even jumped in to pool after show ended about 30 mins before close at 3 PM, so I got video of him being a merman. The bartender thought it was funny too. If you are unable to get a reservation for a Sunday, around 1:45 the seats have opened up and were available for seating I believe. $65 per person with bottomless mimosas and 3 courses that were very good. Highly recommend especially since a real, vintage tiki bar. The only other one in Miami/Fort Lauderdale area is Mai-Kai.
