Rooftop @1WLO Rooftop Bar in Fort Lauderdale

The Place

Rooftop @1WLO sits at the head of Las Olas Boulevard with open views across the Fort Lauderdale skyline. The bar draws a party-oriented crowd — birthdays, bachelorette groups, and date-night pairs who want a skyline backdrop without a dress-code-heavy door. The Violet Sky is the house cocktail; the build-your-own Old Fashioned lets you control the bourbon and bitters yourself.

The venue runs elevator access to the rooftop, so getting up is straightforward regardless of mobility. Hours stretch late on weekends — until 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday — making it a viable last stop as well as a sunset destination. Saturday opens earliest at 2 p.m., giving the most daylight time with the view.

Paid parking is available nearby, so factor in a few extra minutes and dollars if you’re driving. No pool and no dogs on site. At the $$$ price tier, this is a step above casual bar spending, so budget accordingly before the group arrives.
