On a random Sunday night I was in the Fort Lauderdale area in search of some good beer. At the time of the night the options were limited, but choosing to go to laser wolf, was by no mean a sacrifice. This craft beer bar checked off all the boxes. Good beer selection, great vibes, knowledgeable staff, and cool bite options. Glad I was able to visit this spot and for sure I'll be back for some more brews at laserwolf a legendary beer spot in Fort Lauderdale !
Always a vibe, and always one of my go to spots in Flagler Village. A constant rotation of drafts and cans provides something for everyone. The staff is awesome and definitely help create a chill atmosphere. Check their social media for special events and daily food trucks. Thursday Night Trivia is fun and Sunday Service is definitely a must. See you there!
What's not to love about a dive bar that knows that it does and does it well? That's Laser Wolf in a nutshell. Want craft beer? This is your place. Want a mixed drink, wine or specialty cocktail? You are in the WRONG place! We stopped in the other night on our way next door to The Patio. There was a taco truck outside where you could grab food to go with your beer. The bartender was friendly and welcoming recognizing us a new comers so he went out of his way to make sure we knew the lay of the land. We had a couple of beers, laughed at the various signs around the place and then continued on to our destination. A good start to a good night!
Exceptionally cool neighborhood dive bar at the edge of Progresso neighborhood, with a fantastic food truck BMC Smashburgers, parked outside on weekends. 5 star ambience, 5 star food / drink, 4 star service 5 star ambience: the amazingly fun vibe for this place extends outside and inside. It's both a dark hole in the wall and a cool open to street vibe at the same time. The bar itself is located in one corner of a large 1930s building right by the train tracks. Outside there are usually food trucks and a mini street party atmosphere. 5 star food/drink. The bar itself serves a great selection of expertly done alcohol. A food truck outside called BMC Smashburger was off da' charts papi : ). The line was long but worth the wait...incredibly fresh and expertly broiled burgers. 4 star service. The only minor bump was the long wait on service. It wasn't very crowded but was a bit slow
Broad offering of craft beer, check, intimate vibe, check, walls lined with eclectic art and pop culture, check, friendly informative staff, check. This is another stop on our pub crawl, especially when friends are visiting, which was the case. Folks from Nashville really appreciated the art and chill vibe. I'd recommend hitting a few other walking distance bars the next time you're here. A good group of local watering holes to help out.
I wouldn't say this place is a dive bar. It's clean and cozy! A small bar with lots of delicious beer options to choose from. The bartenders were friendly and there was a movie on the television; decor was pretty kitschy too. It's a quiet bar but a nice place to relax. I'm a fan of their beer options, I got a almond and coconut spread imperial stout which was delicious. I think a lot of locals frequent it based on the night we went. We talked to a few bar patrons and they were cool. There was a food truck setting up outside. We got a snack to eat after a few drinks. Across the street, there is a lounge/club called 27. I'd definitely go back!
Went in to kill some time and chill after the gym. The guys were great. I asked for something weird. Passed on the sea salt tangerine and went for the Bianca raspberry vanilla sherbert wild wild Brett. Long name for a simple and refreshing beer. Hit the spot! Masks were worn and social distancing enforced. I'll be back!
This has to be my favorite place ever. Cool craft beer categorized by the style of the brew is up on the easel. Additionally, they have so many rare bottled brews that really will impress any verified beerhead. I personally opted for the Brunch Weasel (A Indonesian cat eats coffee beans, digests them, and are later used to make the worlds most expensive coffee, which are used used in this beer) and the EvilTwin Apricot IPA which was equally delicious. Take a glance around at all the quirky posters and laserwolf gear because it's pretty dope. Outside, they have a terrace where they sometimes host movie night (check their Instagram) on certain nights. The afternoon I was there, the hipster tunes were being played as I chit chatted with people at the bar. I really love this place so much, it made me so happy. It's directly situated in the FATVillage Arts District so you can check out their brewery across the train tracks. NO JERKS YES BEER !!
Dive beer bar = Laser Wolf. Good beer selection cans & draft. Laser Wolf has a lot of character and on the Friday night when I visited, the patrons were pretty colorful as well. It is a unique looking spot, near the train tracks on Flagler. And the bar and building is shaped like a wedge. We weren't looking for it and kind of stumbled into it, although many of my beer friends say this is one of the highlights of Ft. Lauderdale beer scene. This spot would have received at least 4 stars if it weren't for the owner of this establishment, a long bearded guy who seemed to have an acidic demeanor. He was working with a younger man who was very pleasant. But the old guy seemed like he really didn't need my business. I wouldn't have left a tip if it were not for the younger guy who was both pleasant and engaging. Still I am sure the patrons don't come here for the banter. Good beer here. Who needs banter, right?
LOVE DIVE BARS... My first visit tonight provided me a peek into the guts of a true dive bar with pure character. The bartender Ryan was entertaining to say the least with a vast knowledge of his tapped brews. He poured a cold Green City Hazy 6.8% which was a dirty hoppy to start the night. Across from the warm two toned laquered bar was a cooler that offered some good brands of craft beer. The eight foot grizzly bear guarding the front door was a nice touch that added to the already heavy nostalgic ambiance. Returned a few hours later with friends, and found the owner spinning retro records on the turntables brought in by customers. Limited food here but a food truck is parked next to the front door for eats with your brew and dogs are permitted and encouraged. On February 7th we will return for the 15th anniversary of the Laser Wolf. read more
Tried this dive bar out tonight with my hubby and was not looking for a modern look and this place had that craft beer tap room that a few guys would own and love like their own child. The hazy beer was refreshing and priced right. The bartender Ryan made my short stay enjoyable. Dive bars are more fun than commercial bars any day. read more

There is no Fort Lauderdale without the Wolf! Been coming here for 9 years, as the neighborhood changes this place stays true! The building they are in Flagler village wouldn't be it without Laser Wolf! My forever safe heaven. F***ng love this place! #NiceDayForIt #YesBeerNoJerks read more
My favorite place in the whole wide world. Where to begin? Yes, they have craft beer, good stuff from breweries in Florida and farther than that. Also, lots of special release beers and things, and very good prices on bombers, often cheaper than at the liquor stores/craft beer store. My other favorite thing? The sensory overload. All the walls are decorated with artwork, graffiti, posters, dolls, lights, stickers, etc. There is a TV screen playing wacky B movies and cult movies, sometimes crazy Asian horror, just crazy stuff not suitable for the right mind. And then, playing really loud on the speakers, some super dark metal or underground hip hop. I mean, you either get it or you don't, there are no in-betweens. Another cool feature: NES sitting at the end of the bar hooked to a tube TV. Total boner. There is also an outside patio where things are quieter, and where people gather. There are also chairs outside, food trucks, and a really loud train that would breeze right under your nose when you least expected. This place is a magic box. Don't bother coming here though... read more
If you're a "pretentious douche bag" go away... Or at least that was the first impression that I got. "NO JERKS, YES BEERS" That's their motto and if you're anything like me (NOT a pretentious douche bag that just wants to go with friends to share some good laughs and conversation while drinking better than average beers) then this place fits the bill.... For awhile I had been coming here; mostly after riding with various organized bicycle rides through Fort Lauderdale (Monday night Slowhibition ride, Wednesday night Bicihangeo ride, Friday night Critical Mass rides).... AND HERE'S WHY: ** Laid Back... As someone that frequents Key West very often, the laid back feeling here makes this place feel like many of my preferred drinking spots in Key West... right up my alley. ** Cool Staff... Everyone seems to be on top of their job (getting drinks into my hands fairly quick when they are busy mostly) but at the same time seem to be friendly guys while we've been their during quieter days shooting the shit about beers and life. ** Excellent Beer List... there seems to be tons of places dedicated to serving good beer but how many of them really get "better" or "rarer" beers all that often. Laser Wolf certainly does a better job than most. ** Dogs... not a typical criteria for whether I like or dislike a place but props to Laser Wolf for loving dogs enough to have an open-door policy allowing dogs all of sizes into the bar. Haven't had my dog into the bar yet (since he's kind of an asshole) but pretty cool that I could if I wanted... ** Movies.... I don't know if it's a regular thing but I've caught a couple of B-flicks being shown here... and not just average B-flicks like Sharknado and Killer Klowns from Outer Space... they took it to a whole new level when I saw Zombi Asu (a cheesy Japanese flick that translates to "Zombie Ass: The Toilet of the Dead")... Google it... * * * For the most part I've always enjoyed my visits and always felt welcomed but on a couple visits I questioned how welcomed I really was...... On one occasion I was talking to one of the guys behind the bar. Somehow or another bicycling came up and he was bitching about cyclists and specifically how he dislikes how the guys in those group rides can be assholes... kinda sucks as I am one of those guys on the group rides.... BUT I'M NO JERK (or asshole). I told him I'm an avid rider and come often after rides and have brought many of my cycling buddies too... he changes his tune a bit and even said he rides often too... I know what he means since some of the riders can be jackasses on the road but does that really mean all riders are unwelcome here... I hate to admit it but I certainly felt unwelcome at that moment (and sure doesn't fall Into the NO JERKS motto). It wasn't so much the not caring for cyclist... it was more along the lines of here is this place with the COOLEST motto you could possibly have and IF YOU FOLLOW WHAT YOU PREACH then the place could be the COOLEST BAR. I've introduced many friends to Laser Wolf; well beyond the bicycling crowd... some friends that just enjoy a cool bar and others that were craft beer geeks... for the most part all loved it but a couple of them complained they didn't feel welcome... they questioned the COOL MOTTO as just a bunch of words with little substance.... As if there is a private club and only the members of this exclusive club are entitled to be treated to a higher standard... everyone else, well, you're all just jerks. As a former business owner, I recognize that the ultimate goal of any business is to make money; NOT to be the coolest kid in class... treating one guest with total respect and making other work to be accepted is not going to win over any potential customers and any business owner knows... potential customers translate to potential profit. Isn't that what you're really in business for in the first place ? "NO JERKS, YES BEERS" I get it, they want guys that fit into a certain profile and that's fine but the motto implies everyone is welcome as long as you aren't a jerk but I think their definition of a jerk may be different than mine. As not to end on a negative note... here's a link to that Zombi Asu movies that I credit Laser Wolf with introducing me to... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8uE4iKPq2X read more
I was helping a friend study for the Quantitative section of the GRE in exchange for beer, when an old skool question about the laws of integers popped up. "I can't remember does a negative multiplied by a negative equal a positive?" I tried to explain it by relating to our surroundings. "Looking into a laser can boil the aqueous membrane that protects your eyeballs..NEGATIVE. We saw "The Grey" together, wolves are just smelly dogs you can't pet..NEGATIVE. Laserwolves protect humans by running in packs while using their light vision to tear zombies to ribbons..POSITIVE! (-laser) x (-wolf) = +laserwolf Laser Wolf is really a bar that has a little something for everyone, except liquor. There's wine for the ladies, sake for Japanophiles, cider for kids, and crafty brews for everyone. A special note on cider, it's a gateway beverage. Everyone loves it, you just have to find out if they prefer the dry or sweet variety. It has the same alcohol percentage as your standard Big 3 Miller/Coors/Bud but more flavor. Start people that "Don't do beer" on cider until they grow a palate. Earlier when my friend pulled up and asked, "Which of these rape zones should I park in? Pittsburgh [pointing towards railroad tracks], Buffalo [junk yard] or Cleveland [dilapidated warehouse]?" True the area isn't swanky, but I'd prefer to keep paying $5 for double digit ABV beer. It's a purposely designed dive displaying artworks with titles like "Saint Steve Jobs" and 'Manicorn Glamour Shot'. While you're at it you might as well grab some chalk and do what your parents always forbade and doodle on the walls. I just hope you're not easily offended because I don't know who draws more offensive graffiti, the patrons or the staff. If you make conversation and have boobs or consistently tip your bartender, he'll play whatever tickles your fancy. Last time I was feenin' for some 80's punk so the The Misfits, Body Count and Black Flag went into rotation. I've only met three of the bartenders, of which Dave H. // DJ Commissioner is my go-to. He'll know your favorite beer by how you describe your family dog, knows where to get the best roti (he's a white Trini after all) and how to put a gaping hole in a brand new Lexus. The only gripe I have with this bar is my friends always confuse the name and get lost or we have conversations like -- Hazer Wolf? No, he's the douchey upperclasswolf that terrorizes pledges during 'rush week'. Blazer Wolf? No, he's only the most fashionable canis about town. Lazar Wolf? No, he's the kosher butcher from 'Fiddler on the Roof'. Whatever you call it, call it home. It's the best place to drink a high-brow beer in a pretension-free environment. read more
After seeing some of the negative reviews on here, I felt compelled to write a review. I've only been to Laser Wolf a handful of times, but every time I have gone I've had a good experience without any issues. I've seen reviewers complain about the service but whenever I've been and asked for suggestions or help with the beer choices I've always been pointed in the right direction. Outside service seems attentive too and they make a good effort to walk around and pickup any empty glasses at your table. I've been to other bars that just let the glasses pile up which gets kind of annoying. Laser Wolf definitely has a "hipster vibe" but they don't neglect people based on their look as one reviewer noted. I don't consider myself hipster looking at all and I've always been given great service. With that being said, their beer selection is great and it rotates so it's nice to see different stuff. They make good effort to give you proper glasses for each beer style too which is great! (I'm a huge fan of proper glassware) Bottle selection is as great as their ever changing draft selections as well. The ambiance of the bar is nice too, not overly hip like some of the places in Wynwood. It's just a nice chill atmosphere. The outside garden area is great to sit and talk with friends, and you can actually carry on a nice conversation with friends without being drowned out by loud music or loud patrons. All in all, I really like Laser Wolf and they have a very good selection of beers with bartenders that actually know what they are talking about. I had recently gone and started with a Rodenbach sour ale. After I finished I had asked one of the bartenders what else he recommends. He recommended a hoppy farmhouse saison because he said it has a lot of the sour notes and Belgian character that I like and he was right!!! That's knowing your product and listening to your clientele A+ service there!! Give Laser Wolf a try, don't pay attention to the negative reviews that seem to be suffering from an issue that isn't a cause of the bar. For instance, someone complained that they didn't allow a 2 month old baby into the bar.......it's a bar.....where people smoke cigarettes and drink beer....not a family restaurant. If you like a chill atmosphere with a great beer selection and really nice outdoor seating. Head on over to Laser Wolf. You won't be disappointed. read more

Laser Wolf is always a good time for a random night out. You literally feel like you're having a drink at home with their down to earth hipster decor. They always have a great selection of beers and you can always find someone fun to talk to! They even allow dogs to kick back a few brewskis with. Plenty of parking around the area too. I really like the outdoor seating on those nice winter days. So glad we want during the holidays because I got to snap a few fun pics with their super cute tree! A definite spot for a first or 100th date. Cheers! read more
When it comes to local bars, this place is by far the best. My husband and I love the staff, vibe, and array of local beers. Great place to hang out with our friends--love the patio and food trucks that often come! Like to bring our dog as well as they are super pet friendly and down to earth. If you like sours, they always have a great one on tap! read more
I've been coming to Laser Wolf since they opened back in 2010. It's a great little brewpub and biergarten nestled just outside of the downtown area of Fort Lauderdale. Their craft beer selection is solid, a lot of great varieties on both bottle and tap. Located in this old corner building, the bar has this cool vibe with a plethora of different knickknacks. paintings, and an unicycle hung on the walls. They normally have food trucks available during the weekends, occasionally on certain weekdays, depending on what's going on. Five years on, the owners have established a place that's very special. I live just south of West Palm Beach now, and I will still come by the joint if I'm in the area. read more

Ryan my favorite bartender gave me a cold beer. That's all I needed. I love sassy bartenderS and Ryan has a lot. I would come here everyday if my liver let me and my bank account. The lighting makes every girls skin look flawless. Outside seating is romantic sort of. For a beer garden though another bathroom is necessary since I can't hold it very well, and sometimes when ppl bang on the door it makes me pee shy. Other than that, LOVE LOVE LOVE read more

Oh, Laser Wolf (LW). i was afraid to enter the doors the first time (actually put it off a few weeks), because i have been a local post-work beer guzzler at FatCats a few years now. my fear: falling in love with (FINALLY) a "beer only" bar in Fort Lauderdale. aaaaannndddd i did fall in love with LW (Sake & Wine served too). PERKS (of which there are no opposite): + owners are laid back & rad + beers (bottle/tap) change frequently & are delicious + good music + provides a link to the local music & art scene + located in a bombass historic building + you can be sure to always run into a friend (just beware if you are dating a new lady/guy and wish to bring them there chances are high that old and new worlds will collide) + clientele are all friendly, supportive and for the most part don't muck up the communal bathroom + the mug club and it's leather-bound book ('book of the dead') + dart board + bike friendly i've experienced nothing but good energy at LW. to all beer lovers i am sure you will experience the same so be sure to check it out! p.s. i wouldn't necessarily categorize this place as a "dive". it's a solid beer bar, that's what it is. p.s.s. Don c/o Fattiez... you still own a piece of my heart. read more

This place is fun if you like a no frills attitude and talking to strangers. The bar itself is small, like a walk-in closet that's full of windows, but it's full of personalities. The staff are friendly but the rule is usually that they're not gonna hold your hand and walk you through the world of craft beer if you're new. Have an idea of the styles you like and check out the handwritten menu on the wall-- there's quite a bit to choose from. The regulars are a mixed bunch of folks who are laid back and welcoming, but they will absolutely push you out of your comfort zone if you're the least bit uptight. If you're not into being seen and you can hang with folks who have a little bit of hipster tendencies, this may be the place to check out. read more

Is it just beer or do they have whiskey to. Just wondering cu my girl only drinks whisky and coke?
They only serve beer, ciders, and wine. They don't serve liquor, but it's still worth the visit!
