Walked by the entrance one night and saw people checking in going up an elevator. Then realized a week later my sister booked the rooftop for my cousin's birthday party and the place is a vibe!! ++Avocado Hummus ++crispy mozzarella ++buffalo chicken empanadas ++berry beauty cocktail The service was great; the girls are awesome! The drinks were strong and the bar bites were delicious. It gets busier at night, of course but we were happy with the spot and views! read more

They have an amazing happy hour from 12pm-10pm on Sundays ! I tried multiple cocktails with my favorite being the classic mojito. All the drinks had great quality and yummy flavors My flatbread was basic but filling and the buffalo empanadas had the perfect spice level so that was my personal favorite dish. I did want to order the beef skewers but they didn't have any, which was disappointing considering the fact that it was pretty early. I sat at the bar and my bartender was very attentive, always made sure our area was clean and our waters were full. The vibes were great, the views on the rooftops were nice , and the dj played a variety of music. read more

The rooftop at 1W Las Olas is a great spot if you're looking for elevated ambiance with really good light bites. The vibe really sets the tone. It's stylish, relaxed, and perfect for grabbing a mocktail and quick appetizers. The menu is on the smaller side, which works well for the setting. The avocado hummus (a chickpea and avocado blend) was flavorful, and the root veggie chips were a great pairing. The truffle fries were crisp and perfectly salted, especially with the black garlic aioli. The standout, though, was hands down the buffalo chicken empanadas, which were crispy on the outside with a creamy blue cheese filling, mirepoix, and just the right amount of heat. Absolutely worth ordering! We also enjoyed the salumi flatbread, topped with truffle salumi, prosciutto, cheddar, mozzarella, hot honey, and fresh basil, and overall a well-balanced mix of savory and sweet. Our server was really sweet.Overall, this is an ideal spot for a quick bite, and a chic rooftop atmosphere! read more

Located on the corner of Andrews and Las Olas, this rooftop bar has been serving Ft. Lauderdale for a while now. I have come at night time and early happy hour and both have had a different vibe. Both good just depending on what you are looking for. Night time is more party, dj playing, loud conversation, lot more people. Early happy hour is definitely quieter, chill, more able to have conversation but still happening. They have some creative cocktails as well as classics depending on your tastes. I've only tried the truffle fries for their food and they were standard/good. The views are nice of downtown but weather definitely has to be taken into account if you are going especially as we head into summer in SoFlo! read more

I came here for a friend's birthday, and was super excited because I'd wanted to come here for a while. The view was definitely beautiful, and I would say that's the best part, but it was so crowded that I couldn't even get to the edge to see it. The place was so packed we could barely move, which is sort of expected but it felt a little excessive. We struggled to get up to the bar and waited a long time for our drinks. For the price and reputation as one of the nicer bars in downtown Fort Lauderdale, I expected the drink to be better. It wasn't very strong, and the taste was just okay. It's definitely overpriced and a little overhyped. I'd be willing to try it again, but I don't know if I want to spend the money for an okay drink. read more

Strolling down Las Olas, I came across Roof Top@1WLO and decided to check it out. They have a security guard in the lobby who guided me to the elevator. Once at the Roof top, you can glance down and admire the panoramic view of the city. The roof top area was actually very elegant with modern decor, plenty of greenery, lounge seats and a large bar area. I sat at a small table by the main bar and ordered the beef tips skewers and parmesan truffle fries and a couple of cold beers. Pretty good all for $40 tip included. Waitress was friendly and fast. The place had a Dj and it is a perfect venue for private events and gatherings. read more

Nice rooftop lounge with an amazing atmosphere and vibe. Views may not by the best compared to other rooftop bars and lounges as it's not as the location is not as high likely but it provides great relaxing ambiance. As you enter the private elevator, door open up to a refreshing rooftop with a live dj, plenty of seating and tables an comfortable cozy areas with a full bar. Love the limited food menu options and happy hour and Sunday brunch specials! Nice drink menu with a variety if specialty drinks. Service was fast and our waitress was bubbly and friendly We only ordered simple appetizers and everything was great. Fries were not overpowering with the truffle flavor as many places serve them that way.... It was perfectly seasoned and flavorful an it was extra crispy which was a plus. The skewers were also good. Not as tender as expected but very flavorful. Overall, a nice lovely spot to enjoy an evening or early Sunday afternoon that provides a relaxing atmosphere! read more

When partying in Broward county, there are certain places that are a must. If you're a Broward resident The Rooftop @1WLO is a rite of passage. It's one of those venues you just have to explore, and get to know. If you are visiting, it is a staple that must be enjoyed, as every will definitely ask you at one point or another if you want there. The last group I went with was composed of residents and visitors. We were celebrating a friend's birthday and had a blast getting to visit our old stomping grounds. The service was friendly, and quick. The drinks were perfectly mixed. I didn't order food, but my friends did. I will definitely try it next time around. All in all, we had blast. I highly recommend visiting the Rooftop! read more

Great atmosphere. Large space outdoors and under cover. You arrive and have to get let into an elevator to access the rooftop. Great DJ, and lots of space to socialize. We made reservations to be in 1 of the fun exclusive areas. Unneccessary but fun for a night with the girls. Food, drinks, fun digital marquee board + bottle of moet. Great night out!! read more

Fun, dynamic, and colorful vibe - excellent craft cocktails and delicious food. LOVE the weekend happy hour specials too. The DJ was on point and the staff were friendly and hospitable. This is a great people watching place, a true mix of different generations and everyone looking fabulous. Best to go right before sunset for golden hour and the nighttime colorful city lights are a great backdrop. Would DEF come here again. read more

Stopped in for a quick drink before meeting friends at another bar. The space is very cute and fully decorated for Christmas, with a fun selection of seasonal specialty cocktails. Since it was my first visit, I can't speak to what it's like outside of the holiday season. That said, it was extremely packed. There was barely anywhere to stand, and getting a drink at the bar was almost impossible. I ordered a bourbon sour, which was just okay for me, especially considering the $18 price tag. I may try coming back during the daytime to get a better feel for the space, but for a nighttime visit, it wasn't quite my vibe. read more

This place is fully decorated for Christmas by early December and it's a great festive vibe! They also have a specialty holiday menu with holiday cocktails. They have a great happy hour Wed-Fri 4-7, Sat 2-7, Sun 12-10, with $7 spirits, $8 nibbles, and $10 craft cocktails. I've been here a few times and the food, drinks, and service are always great. read more

I really like this place very cool vibe good service and tapas but when your " time is up" you are literally bullied out of the place. I was with a group of people and we ate " not I. Our 20_s" but... we were having a good time and spending lots of $&$ and yet we were asked to leave. We could have just gone to the bar and hung but not sure if this was like age discrimination??? Not cool either way .. ps we are not bad to look at either lol read more

This was such a cute happy hour to come to. It overlooks downtown FLL and is so nice and airy. I asked for the Pear'd up- which is usually severed down brown liquor. I asked for it with vodka and it was not a problem. My friend had wine and truffle French fries. Everything was delish. We will be back soon to eat and drink more. The staff was really friendly too! read more

AMAZING VIEW... A giant Bulgarian bearded door man opened the double glass doors and we entered through the lobby and up to the roof top bar slightly weary of what to expect next. As the elevator opened, we had an amazing view of the Las Olas sky line. We slowly walked through the dimly lit bar filled with inviting comfy sectional couches for that could be privately reserved at $35.00 an hour and the perfect spot for a small friendly gathering or party. We obtained rental information from one of the servers. The brightly lit bar on the far right side had thin leather bar stools with a conglomerate of tequila brands ready to quench a throat or two followed by a lime. Met some fun chatty people who worked in the area and were elated when the bar was constructed. This bar is definitely a top picturesque location. The bathroom doors were unique and comical with gender specific depictions of a cocktail glass (girls) or beer bottle (boys) for the proper sex to decide which door to open to ensure compatability.

Rooftop @1WLO is small, but it has a great energy. Being on a rooftop gives it a nice view. Partially scenic, though some of the view is other rooftops. That said, the atmosphere makes up for it. The food and drinks are really good, and the staff is friendly and attentive. Overall, it's a solid spot to hang out with friends and enjoy a lively rooftop vibe. read more

Great spot for a good time. I was here celebrating my friend's birthday. This was my first time here. The place made a positive impression on me. To start it is very nice up here. The view of the city is gorgeous. The space is nice. The service was good and staff super. I came on a cold day. They had fire pits and heaters on. It was comfy. The rooftop had music, a bar, and space to dance. It had areas you could reserve for special events. It is a good place to celebrate. I tried the happy hour pizza and it was good. A good size. The avocado hummus was good. I loved the vegetable chips. The lemon drop martini was yummy. I was happy with the food. There is a parking lot next to this place and a garage behind the building. A block away there is also another public garage. This area does get busy. When I came I parked across the street. Both the lot and garage behind the restaurant were full. read more

Located in the One West Las Olas building on the 7th floor, the elevator takes you to Rooftop. Immediately, you see that the vibe is classy, trendy, and lively! You know that you are going to have a good time! There are 2 bars, one indoors and another outdoors. We chose to sit outdoors as it was a beautiful evening. The city view is spectacular over Las Olas Blvd! The rooftop has lots of foliage and comfortable seating. There is a small dance area and a DJ playing the latest trendy music. It was a mixed crowd with mainly the 21-40 crowd. We ordered a Margarita for me and a CasaAmigos with soda and lime for my daughter. They serve small plates from a limited menu but we weren't hungry. Our server was friendly and brought out our drinks in a timely manner. We had a good time and plan to come back in the near future. We Ubered there. There is some street parking. read more

Came here with a friend one Sunday afternoon to have a drink and catch up, this was the perfect place to do it! We sat at the bar and were attended right away, the bartender was very nice and attentive. The music was not too loud and felt that we were able to talk and hear each other without issues. The place is large but many of the tables looked like they had reservations, so something to keep in mind if you wanted a table. I loved that it was on a rooftop and felt that it was well spaced out. The drinks were also fantastic. Overall I would recommend and would return! read more

Rooftop @1WLO - Bar - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Downtown Fort Lauderdale's first-ever rooftop bar, aptly named Rooftop @1WLO is a lounge-and-light-bites concept situated on the seventh floor of the One West Las Olas building. The 4,000-square-foot open-air patio transports patrons to a garden in the sky, elevated seven stories. Though open and spacious it can get crowded. There are great views to the East and the North, but to the South, you're just looking at the side of a taller building, and to the West, no view as the Rooftop Var faces East. I had a Dewar's Scotch and soda which was of an average measured pour, but decent enough. I also had a taste of their "Into the Sunset" signature cocktail comprised of El Tesoro Blanco Tequila, Cherry Heering, and Passion fruit, which was delicious and refreshing. For food, the Rooftop Bar only offers a limited number of small plate bites like flatbreads, beef skewers, empanadas, and tacos. Overall, Rooftop Bar is a fun place to visit, friendly and spotlessly clean. read more

First time coming to this bar, great bartenders, great views and even better drinks. Despite being very busy all three bartenders; Cj Jamie and Hayden were quick to open spots on the bar and made delicious drinks in a timely manner read more

Visited this gem again for the holiday pop up. I have to say, wow! The venue is done up beautifully. It was busier than I have seen it especially during the late night hours. If you're looking for a nightlife experience, definitely check it out at night. It maybe loud but the vibe is impeccable. The Christmas decor is top notch and I cannot wait for the upcoming santacon! read more

The place was fancy but without character, the menu had little variety, the prices were too high, and I do not recommend this place.

Great views , great drinks, the food was surprisingly very good, and our server was very attentive.

I was in the area and we decided to give this place a try. The drinks are 10/10. We tried 4 different drinks (2 tequila, 1 gin, 1 rum) all were delicious!! It is worth it to go during happy hour so you can enjoy the drinks. If not, it can get a bit pricy! For food, we ordered the fries, buffalo empanadas, manchego croquettes, and the steak skewers. My favorite were the buffalo empanadas. They were basically made with like a wonton crust. I did enjoy that the blue cheese sauce that came with them was light and not overpowering. read more

10/10 lemon drop tequila was so yummy! Super nice view & has a dj, all the workers were attentive and fun

WOW! Already booked four seats for the next dinner, everything was amazing. Chef Lindsay was incredible and her staff is A+, after having some of the best food my husband and I have ever had we went up to claim our complementary cocktail (nice touch by the general manager) to Rooftop and had a blast! I wish they would do a better job advertising this place, if our friends hadn't told us about it we would have never found this Fort Lauderdale gem. Can't wait to be back next month! read more

For a work trip and checking out the Rooftop. This rooftop space was great, the staff were not so great and the patrons were even worse. We didn't eat here, just drinks for a work pub crawl. They had a great list of cocktails for us though. I tried the Violet Sky. (Grey Goose vodka, violet liqueur, blackberry & sage). It was refreshing! The interactions I had with bouncers were not near as bad as conversations with the guys on the rooftop. The consumers were very forward and had hotels nearby. This wasn't my plan for the night, but if you are looking for "fun" while in town... check this place out. It felt like a "meat market". The view from the roof was stunning and it was nice being able to feel the breeze on a nice night. read more

My friends brought me here for my birthday. A weekday night, so it wasn't too busy. Parking in the lot was $10 up to 4 hours. An elevator takes you to the rooftop. Very pretty décor & lighting. And a variety of table setups. DJ'd music which was dance/club music. No charge for the table if we drank at $35 worth of drinks. I had their Manhattan which was very good. My friends asked about anything for my birthday & it was only a sparkler for an extra charge. The waitress was very nice. But evidently hesitated to give my friend a printed receipt? Later we found out why. They automatically add gratuity of 18% and didn't inform us of that prior. Not only that, they added the gratuity AFTER tax!!! So you're also paying gratuity on the tax amount!! Again nothing was said! Unfortunately my friends did not know and we paid 3 gratuities!!! Cash & 2 charges to the credit card. BEWARE OF THAT! Otherwise a pretty nice place. read more

We have been meaning to check out their happy hour for a while and we finally did. The restaurant is located atop an office building at the intersection of Las Olas and Andrews, so a security guard greets you on your way in, and points to the right elevator to take. The rooftop bar and lounge is located above Las Olas Boulevard and the New River. The open-air patio is like a garden in the sky, surrounded by panoramic views of Fort Lauderdale's majestic skyline. The Rooftop lounge features an eclectic setting surrounded by lush natural decor in a swanky, laid back atmosphere. We got three happy hour bites: Bulgogi skewers - Average to ok...not great marinated flavor...3 per order. Margarita flatbread-Good tasting and crispy crust. The best of the three. Shrimp tacos - Average to OK....smelled odd a bit....3 per order. Nice server made our experience very comfy and relaxed. read more
