I really love Pier Top! I grew up going to Pier 66 and when they renovated the hotel and pier top I thought it was a great homage to the old pier 66 and its traditions while being trendy and cool. The cocktails are some of the best in Ft Lauderdale particularly love the Who You Lookin At which is served in a cool icy owl glass. The bartenders are truly mixologists. I love the DJs here and live music and truly love coming here. Always a great time! read more

This is a fancy place for a special date night or to hang out if you someone is visiting you. The drinks aren't great but you are really paying for the experience to be in a rotating bar on a Rooftop that has absolutely incredible views. The service was pretty prompt and we never had to wait for more than 5 mins for drinks throughout our evening. There is an outdoor area to relax and talk if you want to avoid the loud music inside the bar area. But the music selection is actually nice. Valet is $16. I know i said this but the views are just incredible. It reminded me of MBS in Singapore. read more

Such a great spot! We were here celebrating two birthdays, and it couldn't have been a better choice. The service was spectacular--friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The views are absolutely unbeatable, especially at sunset... truly one of those "wow" moments you don't forget. Food-wise, everything hit: the oysters were fresh, the lobster roll was delicious, and the chocolate mousse cake was the perfect sweet finish. Add in great music, fun vibes, and a trendy, hip atmosphere, and this place checks all the boxes. Perfect for a bite, a celebration, or just soaking in incredible views with good energy all around. Would absolutely go back! read more

Beautiful environment with delicious drinks and recently added a lot more food items to the menu. The vibe is chic and luxurious. The servers are friendly and efficient. There's high top tables in the center and fluffy cushioned seats around the outside that rotates. You barely feel the rotation, it does a full circle in 66 minutes. I tried the Monkeys Revenge and it was light on the banana taste but has a strong coffee taste because of the cold brew. It comes in an adorable Goku cup. The Sixty Six is also delightful. Very fruity and bubbly, perfect to sip on. Love that it came with an ice ball to chill but not dilute it. The tuna tataki was refreshing. The pani puri had great Indian flavors and full of mushrooms. The dates wrapped with bacon is my favorite. Great place for a night out. read more

Just the view alone is worth visiting the pier top! Get yourself a nice cocktail, relax outside and enjoy the panoramic views! You can see the whole city of Ft. Lauderdale! The drinks are pricey but you can expect this from fancy establishment. They have a dj with good beats going and its just a fun experience! There is a dress code to come here so make sure to read up on it before going. I recommend for a great view and vibes! read more

Continuing our staycation, my ladyfriend and I stopped at Pier 66 from our WaterTaxi ride to check out the remodeled, spinning roof rooftop restaurant. Four stars is not necessarily a bad thing, however, all we had were some drinks. The view itself, from the Atlantic Ocean to West Broward and her favorite resort which I won't name lol), is 5 star amazing! The ambience, the entrance of the resort itself is very nice and classy. Although they have a DJ turntable, there was no live music playing when we went in the afternoon other than jazzy beats. She enjoyed her usual Pinot Grigio and I had a Mojito. I suppose it could've been even sweeter though I did like that. It was prepared fresh with mint leaves and all. We did see outer floor move, the only part that spins is the edges of the bar. Therefore, I'm keeping this one in the placeholder column until we can come again and have a full experience. read more

If you are looking for a spectacular view of Ft. Lauderdale, the ocean and a beautiful sunset, HEAD HERE! 1st off, I can't say enough about the views, they are stunning! It makes you appreciate what the people who live here Love. We came here before dinner at Caruso (which was awesome as well). They serve a full bar and lite bites which we did not indulge in. It has a rotating area, which is really cool. If you are seated, your table will rotate throughout the meal of the city, ocean. Everything is nicely decorated, well done, chic. Our bartender was very attentive and friendly, how couldn't you be working with these views. I highly recommend even if for 1 drink a stop here, you won't be disappointed. WHATCHA GOT! read more

Pier Top - A beautiful look outside - Lounges Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Located on the very top of Pier Sixty Six is PierTop. It has the best views of Fort Lauderdale you can find. It has changed a lot since the remodeling of Pier Sixty Six hotel. The fashionable dining is gone, replaced by a disco like environment with DJ's and up to date music, but no dancing. The drinks are good but the food is mostly little bite snacks. I had their Latin Burger with an Angus beef patty, tomato, lettuce, bacon, sautéed onions, Chihuahua cheese, and Chimichurri Aioli on a Brioche bun. However, the primary point for coming here is the magnificent view to be enjoyed while the floor rotates comfortably around every 66 minutes, and my reason for Five Yelp Stars. read more

There's not a ton to say about Pier Top, which is the rooftop bar at Pier 66, besides the fact that it's gorgeous. The views of the city are on another level. It's the kind of spot you hit for a special night out and a round of drinks. The drinks are overpriced, but the vibe makes it worth grabbing a cocktail and taking it all in. read more

Saturday night. Music is bumping- good mix. Drinks-a-plenty. Slow moving floor allows for view change. Only thing that i do not like... is that, it's hot like I've been dancing, this is more loung-ie-dance type, with a nice terraza.. patio if u will. That said.. it's nice if u havn't tried it. read more

Stopped by on a Saturday around 6 PM for some pre-dinner snacks and drinks, and it did not disappoint! The 360 views were just the cherry on top of a great experience. We tried the pizza chips and the floating tuna tartare - both were fantastic. That side of ranch with the pesto drizzle? Chef's kiss ‍ For drinks, we went with the Manhattan and Tears of a Mermaid - both were on point. Perfect spot for light bites, great cocktails, and stunning views. 10/10 recommend! read more

The first time I was here, I was 8. Dad took the family to Florida for business. I had a Shirley Temple drink, sat with my family on the rotating area and took it all lin! Fast forward to me as a grown-up, living locally, and attending parties at the Pier Top. Then it was shutdown for a major renovation revealing a fresh look this summer with that classic mid century vibe that Fort Lauderdale is known for. Tufted velvet chairs and brass accents. It still rotates! There's also an observation deck outside with unmatched views of the city and the beach. On this visit (Sept 2025), we went on a Sunday around 3:30pm (they opened at 3) so it wasn't too busy. We did not have reservations but really only wanted to grab a drink and enjoy the view (I was playing tour guide with my guest). If you want to eat, and especially if there's several in your party, I would recommend reservations. They do have a menu for food, but note it is just tapas/apps, not for a full meal. The bar is incredible and service was top notch. Seasoned bartenders. We ordered and old fashioned and an espresso martini. Tips if you go- you can rideshare or valet, but if you want to self park, there's a city lot under the bridge (3-4 minute walk to the door of the hotel). It's called the E Clay Shaw parking lot. Enter Pier 66 from 17th Street and take the road closest to the bridge and you'll see the lot. You can use paybyphone and it was about $4 for an hour. If you're up for a stroll before or after you go up to the Top, take a walk along the marina. When you get to the hotel, walk through until you see the sign for Pier Top and you will be escorted to the dedicated elevator. The beauty awaits! read more

Well the reasons for a 4 stars ... I heard so much hype about this spot that I guess I was expecting more! The lounge is located on the 17th floor of 17th floor of Pier Sixty -six. The attendant will call up the elevator and send you to the 17th floor. I heard by other guest that dress code is kinda strictly enforced. No shorts. Sadly we did not get the full effects of the 360 view. Website says reservations are suggested but I do recommend if you want the revolving view to make reservations. We had to sit at the bar. The waitress was super nice . I ordered my usual Pinot Grigio and gentleman friend a mojito! You can get views from every angle. City view. Water view and you can see as far the infamous Guitar building! We only ordered drinks since we ate prior to. They did offer some small bites that sounded appetizing. They accept payment via Apple Pay. We went on a Sunday afternoon at night it was beautiful! Oh you can get there by the Fort Lauderdale water taxi! That's how we travel. That's one of the water taxi stops. The place was very pretty and elegant! I would possibly go again maybe at night and definitely with reservations! read more

Really the only thing I enjoyed was the view at nighttime. The seating arrangements are not super comfortable unless you get a couch, otherwise you have an ottoman without a back. There were a handful of servers, however it seemed like only one guy (with longer black hair) was actually working hard and paying attention to tables. We ordered a second round and it took about 12 minutes to get a glass of prosecco. Also, there was a handful of us, however they brought us a tiny little bowl of popcorn to share with our drinks. Overall, very gimmicky. We saw, I'm not sure we'd go back. Plenty of other rooftops. It's also $18 for a mocktail which is insane. The valet forgot to get our car for 15 minutes after we handed over ticket and we had to remind them. Not a great experience and I'm sure we can find another rooftop if we really wanted to. read more

Recently enjoyed a lovely date night with my husband at the Pier Top. I have been enjoying this fabulous rooftop lounge for over 20 years and can definitely see the enhanced atmosphere with the recent renovations. I have also sponsored a conference for NSU at the property pre-renovations. The highlight of my evening was the "Smoke & Mirrors" cocktail! 5 stars absolutely delicious! I also tried "She's A Wild One" which was ok We ordered several food items; - raw oysters (very small in size) - lobster roll (slim serving of lobster for the bread - Beef Tartare (very fresh) - Pizza Chips (very nicely flavored, Chef should consider guacamole as opposed to ranch dressing) - Caviar Cones (micro/teeny tiny dessert needs to be slightly bigger) Overall, the vibes and energy was great especially if you love rooftop lounges that rotate while overlooking the beautiful intercoastal of Fort Lauderdale. I look forward to returning and ppl. read more

Absolutely beautiful restaurant atop the hotel. Also the most amazing views of Fort Lauderdale at night. The restaurant spins around just slightly - barely enough to notice, but you get 360 views at all times . There's also a DJ which sets a nice vibe. The menu is extremely limited - only a "small bites" menu with extremely limited choices. We tried the shrimp cocktail, the bao buns, and lobster roll. Surprisingly the bao buns were the best! Super tasty! We also tried their dessert menu- not so tasty and wouldn't recommend . I didn't like either drinks that I ordered either . I prob wouldn't come back unless they got a better menu. And better drinks. The only thing that made this restaurant worth it were the views read more

Super cool spot with an amazing vibe and absolutely beautiful views of the city and water. It's the perfect place to grab a drink, relax, and enjoy the sunset or night lights definitely has that wow factor when it comes to atmosphere. Also the room spins while you're in there. The service was amazing as well. Only downside is the food menu is really limited, so don't come hungry. But if you're just looking for a chill place with great drinks and a killer view, this place is a solid choice. read more

Nice view, terrible service all around. I made reservations for a party of 5. Our waitress was rude from the beginning. Terrible food and expensive for stale chips. If you want to go for a view it's great, other than that don't waste your money. We went down stairs to the lobby bar where the service was great. Skip Pier Top, so many other places with a good view and better service. ​ read more

Can I just start by saying Julian was over the top amazing. So nice to have someone who truly cares and looks you in the eye when they talk to you. It was our 42nd anniversary and the special treatment that we got last night was wonderful. Truly appreciate when we get that type of service since it doesn't happen very often in Fort Lauderdale. We are local and this was our first time up there since the Renovation. Used to spend a lot of time there growing up and for their amazing brunches that they used to have. Thank you for making the evening special. The oysters and the tuna tartare were delicious and we proceeded to go to Calusso where we had a beautiful dinner. Can't wait to go back. Definitely a place for a special occasion. read more

Our evening began at the perfect time of 6:30 pm, allowing us to enjoy the stunning sunset views before transitioning into the vibrant night scene. The ambiance was truly exceptional, as captured in our photos and videos. Our waitress, Aixa, provided outstanding service, making the experience even more enjoyable. The drinks were both delicious and creatively crafted, offering a wide variety of options to explore. Paired with the appetizers, the drinks made for a delightful culinary experience. We had an excellent time and are already looking forward to our next visit. If you find yourself in the Ft. Lauderdale area, this spot is a must-visit. Plus, the valet service is quite affordable compared to Miami and downtown Ft. Lauderdale, and we comfortably spent around five hours here and at another establishment at Pier Sixty-Six. read more

The views amazing but not the worth the prices for locals. Came here for some birthday drinks pre dinner and left with a tab that I'm still confused about. A group of 4 us ordered 8 drinks total, when we closed out the bartender (Mateo) gave me the bill without an itemized receipt. Red flag!!, because I had no idea if tip was included and it was over $300. Partially my fault as I'm no rookie, but acted like one on this occasion. Anyway this is just a warning to make sure you ask for your itemized tab or else you'll end up paying $50 a drink! Yes 5-0!! That was 4 champagnes, 2 Fletcha Tequilas and 2 glenlivets. The champagne poors weren't anything super high end, as you might ask. The $15 caliber one. The other drinks if they were $25 would have still not added up to over $300. You know places do this to tourists all the time, we weren't tourists. Would I recommend the place, no, not for locals! Or if you go GET an itemized receipt so you don't get tourist scammed. read more

Pier Top - $317 for 8 drinks. - Lounges Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Nice spot with a great view. We tried to make a reservation but there was nothing before 10:30pm so we got there early and just sat at the bar. The place was never fully packed and we always saw tables open so not sure about that. The drinks were good but pricey. Our bartender was friendly and attentive regardless of how busy he got. If you go based on menu it's 22-24 for their specialty drinks which I guess is the norm for most hotel spots but I ordered a Gin sour with Empress Gin and it cost me $28 a glass. I have a hard time justifying 2oz that cost the same as a bottle. The music changed depending on the time. There's a live dj and we got further into the night it definitely started to sound like a club. The crowd was incredibly eclectic and it did change as it got later. Your only option for parking is valet but that was reasonable and my car was waiting for me when I got to the front. Everyone we engaged with was super friendly. I think this is a great spot to bring people who are visiting or a stop on your way to or from dinner. read more

Beautiful views! Top notch cocktails! Exquisite small plates! We have been awaiting the re-opening of this historic landmark -- the Iconic Pier Top Lounge. Built in the 60's the building's architecture is right out of the Jetson's and the luscious atomic age design from the mid-century. The Pier Top cocktail lounge finally reopened this past March 2025. Our visit proved to be well worth the wait! You enter through the spectacularly beautifully designed hotel lobby and are greeted by a host that checks your reservation and vibe (note- there is a dress code: no shorts, flip flops, etc. check it closely on their website or face being turned away) then escorts you to the elevator that will whisk you up to the penthouse level. The entry view to the lounge is breathtaking- gorgeous, sumptuous center bar and couch-y seating areas on the window sides. Very glamourous, yet comfy. The Pier Top Lounge makes one 360-degree revolution per hour. When we were seated, it was in its short pause and our seats were not by a window. We were wondering why we didn't rate a window. Haha! Once we started moving, we got it. The bar is in the center and the lounge seating gently revolves like a record player around it. You have your window views that are simply spectacular across the Atlantic Ocean, Port Everglades, the Intracoastal, downtown Fort Lauderdale, Hollywood's iconic Hard Rock casino and arena, and Miami on the horizon. The views are breathtaking. But, you also have a 360 view of the bar, which is beautiful - first you may be behind it, then at the side, then at front. How cool is that? There is a DJ playing perfect lounge grooves and we did not find the music loud - we could speak intimately with each other without yelling. The DJ was phenomenal. She made and kept the mood and totally understood the assignment. The music was mix of lounge, mellow house grooves. Just right. Our reservation was for 6:30 - an hour plus before sunset - so that we could experience the space and views in the bright sun, sunset, and night. Oh my goodness! The sunset was amazing! There is a small outdoor seating area - FYI - that space does NOT revolve. If you sit inside, you can step out to breath the air and feel like the king or queen of the world! The service was outstanding. Our server was welcoming, friendly, helpful (she offered to take pics of us standing outside) and a wonderful host. Going here, we had done our research and saw that the food is limited to small bites. We had taken a look at the cocktail menu and knew we were going to ....sample a few over the course of the evening so, we pre-gamed by having a good dinner before going. This would be my recommendation if you plan to hang and enjoy the space and the delicious drinks. I had a top notch gin martini and hubby had the best sazerac he's ever had - better than the ones we had in New Orleans. I moved to the negroni which was smooth and delightful. And he moved on to a smart manhattan. We also had a few of the small plates. First we had the "Got a hot date" which are medjool dates, chorizo, bacon in piquillo sauce. My husband loved these! The sauce reminded him of his dad who was from Hungary. The sauce was a creamy, red, peppery/paprika sauce that gave a mild kick that worked well with the sweet dates and savory bacon and chorizo. Next, we had four "Ol' Dirty Oysters" which were raw with creme fraiche, chive, and caviar. These were beautifully presented in a gold serving dish filled with ice with seaweed garnishing the ice. The oysters were exquisite with the small dollop of the creme fraiche and caviar and edible gold leaf. A beautiful, delicious oyster! Finally, we tried "Floating Tuna Tartare" which was bluefin tuna and kimchee on crystal bread (a crispy tuna delivery system that is sort of like a delicate fried air cracker) - delish! Now, this was not an inexpensive evening. But, we knew we wanted to make a night of it. If you go for a drink or two - hey, fine cocktails in a spectacularly beautiful spot will not come at an economy price. And, if you go for an evening like we did, expect to be seeing it as a treat that you deserve. After all, you only go around once. -- Except at Pier Top, when you can enjoy going around more than once and enjoying the ride, views, drinks, food, service and experience. You deserve it. read more

I was excited to try this spot for the view but was prepared for overpriced and underwhelming food because of location. I was COMPLETELY WRONG. From the kind gentleman on the bottom floor to the amazing food that we received! The drinks were perfect and balanced the beautiful views. However the show stopper was the food! We ordered the Medjool Dates w Chorizo and Piquillo Sauce, perfect start! Then moved on to the amazing tuna tartar and the short rib bao buns - I have been craving since I left! But maybe my favorite were the lobster rolls and the oysters Crème Fraîche with caviar! The lobster rolls were toasted perfectly with savory and sweet lobster while the oysters were a perfect balance of DAMN I want more! Kuddos to the team and the Chef! read more

The music was very loud and it felt as if I was at LIV nite club! We were told we could have a table until 9:30 which was fine since we had dinner at Caluso earlier. The place was empty as we left, no one was clamoring to get in and it was void of any ambience. The saving grace was the view. The PierTop at one time was a place to have a first date, get engaged or celebrate a special occasion. Not anymore. If you are looking for something special rooftops are not the answer. Music sets the mood and when you cannot hear yourself think it's time to escape. Dinner is not offered only bites to nosh on. I am debating as to go back at an earlier time and see if the setting is better. Music should be relaxing early in the evening especially if you want to stop for a cocktail after a long day of work. Debating if I want to try this again! read more

Horrible service... don't waste your time coming here! Not worth the hype! Stunning views but service is slow, overpriced drinks, not worth it. read more

The pros: small plates arrangements are awesome, the atmosphere is amazing with incredible views of the entire city, intracoastal, and ocean. The drinks are also top notch and the service from the entrance and overall is great. The cons: Our waitress was more concerned about conversing and serving another table that came in after us that she greeted with hugs making it clear that she knew them which is fine but it caused my wife & I to constantly wait to get her attention on top of her serving our drinks far away from our reach for some weird reason. Also the supposed strict dress code was lax as they allowed a few people in with shorts and jeans. Price is a little excessive for what you get, high end place for sure but a little over the top for standard bar drinks. Over all it's a must if you've never been. read more

Drove all the way from Miami to have dinner and the kitchen closed at 9:15. I got there at 9:05 but nobody told me they close the kitchen at 9:15.

Beautiful renovation, nice staff, unbelievable views. Our drinks were nice (pricey but, duh..). Food needs work (well, the two items we ordered), we had the cheese plate and veg dish. The veg dish was a bowl of crushed ice and romaine sprigs sticking up. Not sure what that was all about. Cheese selection was decent (think business class cheese dish). Music got oddly louder at 9 pm (night clubby), we couldn't really continue our conversations, which was a bummer. Maybe they should move that to 10 pm. Had a great time! read more

Great Pre/Post dinner spot. Good drinks & even better vibes and views. Service was a little slow as the bar was backed up but we still had a nice time.

The bites mainly compliments the drinks. There is also a DJ. read more

where to begin we arrive and we're seated. Keep in mind. You can only stay there for two hours and each person has to order a minimum of $60. All the drinks are extremely overpriced and the food offered is limited at best.

We had to wait over 20 minutes before anyone even came over and that was after saying something the only benefit is the view and the ambience of the view and the restaurant top turning around definitely a one wouldn't recommend unless you really view. read more
