I'm not sure how long this spot has been around, but it's connected to YOLO and feels like a hidden gem. It's a small lounge with bar seating along the sides and a few couches and tables in the center, giving it a relaxed but lively vibe. Our group of about 30 stopped in last Saturday during a bar crawl, and to my surprise, the drinks were excellent and very reasonably priced. I ordered a whiskey smash and a bourbon sour, both $11, and both were made really well. They also offer specialty cocktails, and ordering at the bar was easy even with our large group. The music was great, the service was solid, and it never felt overly crowded, even though most of our party filled the bar area. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back. I had no idea this place was here, but I'm really glad we found it. read more

O Lounge - Outside NYE 2023 - Lounges Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

After having dinner at YOLO decided to check out the O Lounge next door. It is small inside and it gets packed, well at least the night we attended (Santacon). Drinks are good, dj is okay, it was a nice vibe. If you don't like tight spaces this place is not for you unless you get a section, my only issue was ppl dancing and bumping me all night, other than that it was pretty good read more

I had never heard of this place before (was only familiar with yolo) but when a group of friends wanted to have a meet up there, i decided to check it out. The place was nice and the vibe was good. It got pretty busy fast and was standing room only. The drinks were super good but a bit expensive. Overall, a fun time. read more

I hired O Lounge for a private event and they totally exceeded my expectations! First and foremost, Kenny and Danielle were WONDERFUL to work with. Professional and communication was great which is so important ! This day in age, people fall short and people tend to lack communication but not these two women ! It was such a breathe of fresh air to have a professional business contact that will follow up on your questions and respond in a timely manner. Super flexible with meeting , doing a walkthrough and going over the space for the upcoming event. I was able to get a 2hr window of setup bc it was just myself and my gf and needed more time so I could go home after and get ready which I GREATLY appreciated that extra hour !!! It was needed ! The catered food selections were great! Quality of food was good too and all guests enjoyed what I picked out. The meatballs were a favorite may I add ! The space and event was blocked off for any people Trying to enter which I had accommodations made before the party and in our contract. Kenny and I met a week prior to go over the menu and she steered me in the right direction on some hesitations I had and from her experience with party's gave me a few options to chose from. The bartenders kicked ass on the 2hr open bar I had for the party. A friend of mine said the gentleman bartender made the best old fashions he's ever had ! All the food was set up with protection shields and a server due to covid regulations and it all went rather smoothly ! I could not have had a better group of people working for my hosted party ! Everyone felt safe and enjoyed such a great evening here. 3hr timeframe was perfect too ! Not too short but not too long. I really Could not leave any bad thing about O lounge and everyone working here that night. It was such a perfect space for about 40-42 people and was not tight at all. We had the outside terrace patio too that was used for a cigar rolling gentleman I hired as well as a roulette table with attendant. Thank you again ! Highly would recommend this spot/company for any future events ! read more

O lounge is the perfect spot to grab drinks and enjoy music with great company! They have a live DJ and gorgeous ambiance. I also love the fact that they have a lot of open seating. I decided to order the butterfly kiss. IT WAS AMAZING! I love the combination of passion fruit, coconut foam and tequila. It is also such a cute cocktail and the color is so vibrant! read more

The bartenders need some serious work in this place, at least one of them. I had a girl serve me, I believe her name is Danielle, who has one of the worst attitudes I've seen in awhile in Fort Lauderdale. Pours drinks super weak, and for the price you pay here, it's almost theft at that point. Gives you an attitude the entire time, like she's too worthy to be serving the customers there. Asked some other patrons there about her, and they all had nothing good to say about her either, so I decided to try and let this place know about her behavior. read more

Love this spot! Good music, the staff treats you right, and it's a classy place to drink and dance right off Las Olas read more

Pink Rules! SITREP We had a terrific night of Pink Dancin at the "O" Lounge! Besides enjoying the chill vibe of the O Lounge, we got to sip on some refreshing beverages and jam to some funky tunes! THE SETUP The O Lounge is pretty nice set-up with a full bar and lots of loungy seats and spaces to just relax. [Only drawback is that when the bar is slammed with a full-house (like it was this particular night), they really need more than just one (1) bartender to keep up with the pace.] DJ DANCING It was nice that there was a DJ set-up to provide some great dancing tunes and he was "connected" to the crowd both with their requests, and "reading" the vibe coming from the dance floor. KUDOS Props to our awesome friends Savanna, Greshka & Ashley for keeping the Pink-momentum going all night long! THE LOWDOWN Thank you O Lounge & "Long Live PINK!" read more

This has always been a fun spot but for the holidays they put a cool Christmas holiday pop up bar. It's very nicely decorated. They have specialty drink for the occasion. Good drinks just a little sweet. They also have some cool modern holiday music. Outside is Yolos where they have taken over the parking lot due to COVID. It's perfect for a night out to be outdoors specially with the nice weather now. You can't go wrong always a fun spot. read more

Every time I have been to the O Lounge it has been for a private event. It looks very similar to the lounge in Yolo if memory serves. It is not overly big, which I actually like. It is conveniently located smack in the middle os Las Olas and had valet parking which I love. I don't like to think about where I will park. Drinks were amazing. We had a bartender and all drinks were top shelf. I can't really say how it is when it is open to the public, but private events are ran smoothly and are great. read more

O Lounge! O Fun! O Lounge is sandwiched between Vibe and YOLO. If you dine at YOLO, you can walk in through the connecting back entrance inside the restaurant without having to go back outside. Valet is available for $5 right up front. There is no attitude here (ahem....unlike Vibe), no cover and no hassle. It's sexy, small, and quaint; a laid back lounge that happens to be beautifully decorated, offers great small plate options, and plays great music. They play it all: old, new and everything in between. It can get really crowded at times, but for some reason it never remains crowded for long. A lot of people hang out here before they go to Vibe or while they wait to be seated at YOLO. We usually prefer it as an after dinner spot. Whatever it is, it works! There's also seating outside if it starts to get too crowded inside. The crowd is always well dressed and varied in age. You will see the occasional bachelorette or even wedding party crawl through. As with most bars, people watching is always entertaining. They have a great cocktail and wine selection, although the beer list can use some help (they only had a handful of boring domestic beer options). There's nothing else like it in the area. Don't bother looking. Come for the vibe, stay for the fun. read more

It was my first time to O Lounge last Thursday night and I definitely liked the ambiance. There are plenty of seats throughout and also a private room for special gatherings. As for the menu, 3 words: The Devil's Hammer. I'll be the first to admit the "limit 3" on the menu called out to me like a challenge, but after having 2, they are smart to put the disclaimer. Made with tequila, mint leaves, citrus juices and a cherry bourbon float, it's quite the drink for any craft cocktail lover. And for $12 the size and quality of drink isn't one that will leave you feeling jipped. Despite only one bartender, she was on point and friendly. There was also a DJ playing music ranging from popular hits to some mid/late nighties. The only downside I felt were the TVs playing sports games which seemed a bit out of place. Also, they serve food but didn't get a chance to try any. read more

My 2nd time doing a review for yolo but I had to for the OLounge. Went here after dinner last night and had a great time. Wednesday's is ladies night & we drink free from 7-10 & the wine is good! (But don't forget to tip your bartender though.) The bald guy at the door was super nice & friendly. I will definitely be inviting the girls here in the near future. Sunny read more

O Lounge - Saturday night at the O Lounge - Lounges Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Came here last weekend during YSB 2015. PROS: -It was fun to hang out with a group here. -Place was very clean, nice bathrooms. Nice vibe also. -Lots of places to sit. CONS: -took a while to get drinks -I was a little appalled at the price of my drink (vodka Coke, $8.50 plus tip) though that was at the beginning of the trip, pre-Marriott bar prices, lol ($15 for fruity drinks!) so I guess that is not too bad. -Music was super super loud. Clubbing/bars isn't entirely my scene so that may be it, but I had my adventurous undergrad days as well and I don't remember the music being so loud. (next I'll be saying "get off my lawn," ha.) Overall not a bad place to grab a drink. I guess it's part of that YOLO complex (my AmEx bill says YOLO YOLO YOLO on it which was pretty funny) and there are places to grab food next door too. read more

Good cocktails, good music, reasonably priced. You can eat smaller dishes there or go next door to their restaurant YOLO for a full meal. The overall vibe and decor is great. Has a few outside seating areas. Inside, it's a fairly small space so get there before 10p (fri/sat) if you want to be able to sit or get in. read more

Great mix of music.Old school to new school. Hip hop mixed with some techno. No fee to enter. Causal wear just no hats. Great prices for drinks. Good vibes read more

O Lounge is apparently the clubby part of YOLO but yet it feels very "cougar-y". It's kind of ironic though, considering YOLO is the saying that is more specific to the younger crowd. I've been to YOLO before after hours for drinks, never for food, and it was always the mid-20's crowd hanging out at the bar drinking martinis and Merlot. O Lounge was more vodka shots and grinding to Pitbull and Enrique Iglesias from what I could tell. What was funny was that it was more late 30's ladies on the PROWL. High heels, bleached hair, and the like. You can tell that this place is right next to Vibe because it seemed to pull a decent amount of the same clientele (or maybe some people who couldn't get in, I don't know). The drink prices seemed to be pretty decent here, I saw a bar tab for a vodka tonic/white wine for $18 and that's not awful at all. This is a pretty small place and with the amount of dancing that goes on it got pretty crowded pretty quickly. Bartenders were pretty quick and attentive, and security didn't have a problem with us taking drinks outside to sit on the patio. I kind of like the fact that here has a different music scene compared to Vibe (less EDM and more top 40 stuff) and is a little less likely to give you an epileptic attack due to the lack of flashing lights for when you're in the mood to dance but not in the mood for a seizure. read more

Bouncers are really rude and act like jack asses. I was inside walking to the bar and a bouncer jabbed me in my stomach. There was a broken glass on the floor due to over served guests.And this was his way of communication to me about this. I replied that this is simple battery. I also told the Manager what happened, and no apologies were given. So I took my guests and went somewhere else. Do not recommend, Beware. read more

Megan at O Lounge provided great service and was extremely professional and courteous. Looking forward to a visit again in the near future.

O, o, o! Last night was not the first time I made an appearance nor will it be the last. There is valet parking offered if you don't want to try to find parking on the boulevard, which is a huge convenience. It's located inside of YOLO and it has its own section for the ones that want to mix and mingle. The specialty cocktails are off the hook and there's even a limit of 3 on one of them. Sorry, I can't remember which one it was. I was too busy consuming the Dragonberry mojitos that the lounge is famous for. read more

I been here twice now, definitely going back. I love the vibe and crowd. It is a more young professional group, AKA Yippy! Granted you have you few younger ones and much older ones but the mix is really nice. There is Valet for $5 which is great because ladies do not have to walk far from a parking garage/lot to get there. Drinks are price right, 3 cocktails cost about $26 that averages to around $8 a drink. O Lounge is next to Vibe which is more of a nightclub. The same follows with the crowd, vibe and drinks. read more

I have been to O-Lounge twice with a group of 10 on Wednesday Nite Ladies Nite. And both times was a great party! Ladies drink pretty much anything for free from 7-10. Place starts to jump around 930 or so but I suggest arriving around 9. Not much of a dance floor but no worries as people dance all over. A downside is the lack of seating when it gets crowded. But at the same time an upside that causes more mingling and dancing. Great party atmosphere Wednesday Nites! There is also another sister club of YOLO called vibe, which is only a go go gadget arm distance away from O-Lounge. The O-Lounge crowd seems to filter over there around 11 or so. Kind of like a chill after party vibe at vibe at that time. But O-Lounge is a near can't miss on Wednesday Nites. Especially for the ladies who love a fun party on weekdays. Some not so exciting but relative details: NO cover for anyone on Wednesday Nites. Dress is upscale and a bit sexy for the ladies on Las Olas. There is only one VIP section and appears to be mainly for the ladies. YOLO is attached and is also a place to see and be seen! So on a Wednesday Nite, go check out the big O! read more

My disclaimer is that I came here for a company party during the day and not at night when it becomes a dance club. The party was supposed to take place outside around a fire-pit, but it was raining so they moved us to O Lounge. The long and short of it is that they only had ONE main waitress for a party of about 30 people who were pretty set on utilizing the company-paid-for alcohol. The other two employees were only around to help carry drink trays and to clear used dishes. There wasn't assigned seating and people were moving through the space, so no doubt it was tough for the waitress and disappointing for us. The food that we had was some kind of dip, a cheese and meat platter and meatballs apparently from Fork and Balls. Everything was kind of eh. The meatballs were falling apart...which meatballs shouldn't do. The flavor was lacking as well; I could have made better meatballs at home. I hope this isn't representative of what Fork and Balls has to offer. The drinks were delicious and strong, it was just the wait that bothered us. O Lounge has a bar in the room, but, for some reason, they insisted on making the drinks at YOLO and walking them over. If they had just used the bar in the room, it would have been a MUCH smoother experience both for the guests and the staff. read more

This place refused a party of 10 just because one of the folks had 3/4 pants and apparently that is against their policy. Like that wasn't enough when we were waiting for the rest of our friends we had to wait about 15 minutes for someone to take our order and then 15 more minutes to get the check. Apparently the servers were all "very busy" talking to the DJ although the restaurant was empty at the time. There's a lot of options in the area so don't bother with the O Lounge. read more

Fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun Went for my bday , vibe is gone so we went to O lounge. Great drinks, great music, great vibe. No creepy annoying guy everyone just having a good time . I will definitely be back !!!!!! read more

went for ladies night holiday party. Server came to us in outside seating and was very helpful. Great group of people that range in age from old to young. Great feel and very close to Yolo if you wanted to go from one to other in downtown. Menu isnt that extensive but they do have a sampler which allows you to share with group if your there mostly to drink and dance. read more

Yolo,O-lounge,Vibe in my opinion as a whole. First off I've been to this place a few times and have always loved the decor and set up of the place. The atmosphere on the other hand off sets the place in a big way, in the fact snobby stuck up people tend to be the type of people that mostly accommodate the property. Its very easy to be visually taken in by a decent hangout spot but its another when the place attracts a lot of egotistical personalities and it definitely shows horribly. The social playground usually is in full swing throughout the venue, commonly older men getting hit on by younger women looking for money "sugar daddy", older women trying to be 20 years old again, younger guys accompanied by attractive escorts, and people flaunting their money and status for attention. I did enjoy the outgoing nature of some of the folks there, they didnt have any problems hitting the dance floor and being silly at the O-Lounge and Vibe. It was pretty funny for what it was. On a brighter note, the food was very good especially the Calamari. The menu is abit pricey but not that bad. The waiting and service was spot on and efficient, the waitress was very nice and got our food and drinks in a timely manner. The music that they play at Vibe and O-lounge is decent but too top 40ish on many occasions. I found myself being very uncomfortable at times at the authority figures aka the 'suits' of the place. Namely a slim guy named Tom, who I have been told is a GM there is very rude and carries a bad aura about him. Very creepy guy. It became more than evident that there is discrimination for minorities going on, when me and my friends were able to get in the O-Lounge with no problems when a young lady was checking people in. But then I witnessed them turn away Black people every single time. I didnt think much of it until I asked some of them later why they were turned away, and they said the young lady at the door said they had NO SPACE left, which was very untrue, in the fact they allowed white people in. The chunky manager guy with the spiked hair named 'Brandon' I believe was in on it as well because he supported her story. Me and my friends havent been back since that night because of that act of racism and discrimination. Its disgusting and as much the venue tried to mask, it was more than apparent. Overall, a nice looking venue with a high point in food, service, and trendiness but horribly fails in the most important department of ethics and respect for people of all races. If you can ignore the hideous flaws of the place then its not so bad but then again why would you. Take my review for what it is. read more

On my most recent visit to YOLO, I went on one of the busiest weekends in South Florida - Memorial Day Weekend. I wanted some good food and drinks that would hit the spot and YOLO was where I knew I would find both of these things. Being that it was the busiest weekend, there was a TWO HOUR WAIT FOR A TABLE!!! I was ready to be out and hit up the Ms Cheezious food truck I saw on the drive over but the hostess informed me that I could go to O Lounge and order off the YOLO menu! Interesting. I headed over there and I immediately liked the decor and the set-p of the lounge. They had a number of places where you could sit down and grab a bite to eat. The bar was on the far left wall and access to it was fairly easy. We grabbed a seat so that we can proceed to order some appetizers and some drinks while we waited for our table. My reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 is due to the fact that it is nearly impossible to have a conversation with anyone in there without shouting as the music is a little too loud for a lounge. I'm not sure if it is always like this but it felt more like a club than a lounge. That was my only issue. Our food came out quickly after placing our order. Our waitress was very helpful in assisting us with making food and drink choices. The bestie and I still managed to have funny convo (although it included quite a bit of shouting). After 2 hours, I was ready to eat my hand off so we went back over to YOLO and had an amazing dinner! After dinner, we were walking out and realizd that O Lounge was hyped up. Music was blaring at this point and the DJ was spinning some good tracks. At that point, we decided to do a little dancing and mingling with the people. There were a couple drunken fools in there but the security was tight so they handled the situation very quickly without any hassles. Really liked the fact that security was very quick and responsive to situations. They handled it before anything got out of control. Great job! All in all, I'll most likely be back at O Lounge in the near future to do my drink and my 2 step (shout out to Cassidy)! read more

Wednesday nights is the day to go here. Cougars, pumas sugar daddys and your 20/30s something year olds all can be seen. Its the "nicer" part of downtown fort lauderdale compared to the 2nd street pubs and bars. Ladies night is from 7-10pm wine mixed drinks and beer. Even import beer. They have a raffle for the ladies to win gift certificates and have a lil app to curve the cougars and pumas that come here. You can float over to Yolo for the fireplace outdoors or walk over to Vibe next door but here is the only place where ladies get their drinks for free and Free is for me!! read more
