My friends and I were visiting Fort Lauderdale for a Girls Weekend Getaway. A friend of ours suggested we try The Wharf for after dinner drinks. From the time we were seated until we left, our server Red made our experience fun! She made recommendations to us because there were so many choices that we were overwhelmed! Red knew the extensive list well. She was very friendly and her bubbly personality made our experience there a great night out. We will definitely return to The Whatf and hopefully Ref will be our server again!

We where at The Wharf couple days ago and it was amazing. I really enjoy the place and the drinks and It was absolutely cool to see the stuff. Especially Bianka. She was so energic and polite. It is nice to see when somebody really enjoys what is she doing.
I definitely will return :)

We were there on New Year's eve, so there was a lot going on. We went to the Broward Center for the Performing Arts to watch a musical, but before that, we walked around to Las Olas Boulevard, had some snacks, walked back by the water, there is so much to look at, including historical buildings, all the boats, restaurants, great fun! Plenty of parking around. Dont miss it!

Just wanted to let you know of the abhorrent behavior of your bouncers working this location. They are very rude and discriminatory of people with disabilities, especially the tall gentleman with sunglasses. I will definitely recommend to all my friends, neighbors, and otherwise to NEVER patronize the wharf.

Last night, myself and a group of friends decided to come back to the Wharf to have a good time, but this time around we were met with discrimination. We came at about 9:30PM, enjoyed ourselves for about an hour, and grabbed one round of drinks before deciding to check out the bodega across the street. When we came back to the Wharf, I was denied access because I wasn't wearing a belt with my jeans. Now I can understand there's a dress code, (that was never mentioned to me in my 3 times being there) but how were we able to enter the first time just 2 hours before? I was not deliberately sagging and my underwear was not visible, but that's not even the biggest issue. As we were discussing with the security manager, multiple people were entering the venue that were clearly not wearing belts. I would even add that as a black man with dreadlocks, I believe this was selective as the majority of people entering were non-black and not wearing belts with their shorts or pants. A friend in our group (black male, short afro) was wearing cargo pants without a belt and he lifted his shirt to show that he did not have one on, and the security said "We are not talking about you." The security manager was giving us a hard time saying things along the lines of "If he pulls his pants up now, he's just going to sag again inside" "Look at my staff (to point out he has black employees once we mentioned that was discriminatory)." I am truly disappointed with my latest experience at the Wharf Fort Lauderdale as I've heard negative stories but always had a good time in the past. I don't understand the policy if we were let in then denied access in the same night.

My friends and I went here 2 nights in a row both nights very different crowds but both was a nice little vibe. Saturday night was a more younger crowd and Sunday was more my age. Food was decent nothing to rave about. I wanted to try the ice-cream shop but it closed early on Sunday.

Super nice hang out spot! Especially for groups. My cousin and I went there just the 2 of us to drink and had a hard time getting a table because it was only 2 of us. They said their rules only allow 3 ppl of more to get a table. Which is stupid because we drank enough for 4 ppl today. But all in all was still a great vibe. We ended up buying our bottles from the bar and sitting behind the dj booth at a table. We just couldn’t get a server since it was only 2 of us. Music was actually decent. Lots of great ppl.

Security were out of line. On exiting my brother had his refillable pepsi soda. A member of security rushed over pushed past me and grabbed my brother’s arm with force to make him put his drink in the bin! Fine if they dont want drinks being taken outside (however it was non-alcoholic) and the security man could have asked us politely rather than man handle us!! ABSOLUTELY SHOCKING BEHAVIOUR. Would never happen back home in the UK.

Grand opening at Noon today, its beautiful open air format, its downtown on the New River. They are Covid 19 clean, social distancing, masks. The staff is great, its kid and dog friendly, but I didn't see any. The customers were mainly in their 20's to 40's on lunch break. They had music, ping pong, picnic tables, lots of drink and food options.
