Plan a fun, efficient night

Keep it clustered. Do Las Olas and Flagler Village in one night. Hop Rooftop @1WLO, Rhythm & Vine, then The Wharf. This avoids long trips.

Go to the country on a different night. Do Round Up for lessons, then stay for the party. Check specials and family night details on the site.

Aim for the big-room night. Choose DAER when a headliner you like is booked. Buy tickets early on the official calendar.

LGBTQ nightlife. Dance at Hunters, then catch a show at The Pub next door on Wilton Drive.

What to expect, by area

Davie. Round Up is pure country. Expect boots, hats, and line dance instruction. Great for groups.

Downtown Fort Lauderdale. The Wharf is open-air with river views and long weekend hours. Rhythm & Vine brings a backyard feel with DJs. Rooftop @1WLO and Sparrow add skyline views.

Galleria / Sunrise Blvd. Blue Martini is a classic lounge nightlife with live acts many nights.

Wilton Manors. Walkable LGBTQ strip. Hunters and The Pub are reliable for dancing and shows.

Smart tips

Check hours and dress codes. Rooftops and lounges set dress rules, and hours change seasonally.
Arrive early for sunset. Rooftop seats fill before golden hour.
Buy tickets for headliners. DAER nights with big DJs sell out.
Ride instead of drive. Parking in Las Olas and downtown can be tight late. Official pages list addresses and ride-hail friendly drop points.

Common mistakes to avoid

Expecting many clubs inside Plantation. Most late-night venues sit just outside the city. Use Plantation for dinner, then ride 10–25 minutes to party areas.
Ignoring event calendars. Round Up, Blue Martini, The Wharf, and DAER post weekly themes and acts. Check before you pick a night.
Skipping age checks. Most venues are 21+. Always carry ID.
