Directions / Map
Recently renovated, Art Bar is definitely one of the most popular clubs in Fort Lauderdale. Open Wednesday through Saturday, they offer something for everyone. In addition to the customary nights: ladies, college, etc.., they currently host one of the best local gay parties on Wednesdays. Saturday nights on the strip belong to Art Bar thanks to the club’s powerfully hype vibe. You don’t come to this place to chill, this is definitely a dance club…and dance you will since Saturday resident, DJ GQ spins one of the best open format mixes (with an emphasis on hip hop) that can be
in South Florida.
The club itself is fairly easy to get into compared to the hassle of South Beach venues. Your best bet is to get here before 12am, park at the parking garage across the street (gotta love $7 flat rate parking) and get a “complimentary admission/free drink” flyer from the street teams swarming the area (it’s almost impossible not to get one). If for some reason you have managed to make it to the door with out a flyer or after the cut off time, the cover is $20. The dress code here is more relaxed than on South Beach, however you can party just as hard and have a great time.
The Main room features two bars, ample dance floor and a stripper pole (to help you keep your balance of course). The ground floor also features a single VIP table …for those who want to be in the middle of all the action. If not, a walk up the security-manned staircase takes you to the DJ booth and the VIP level, which features its own bar, comfy seating areas and a great birds-eye view of the electric scene below. True to the venue’s name, various art pieces decorate the walls.
Downstairs, walk past the second bar and you will find yourself in the Red Room. Complete with its own bar, this smaller “inner” club usually spins reggae, reggaeton & latin dance on Fridays and Saturdays. The men's and women’s bathrooms can also be found here.
Why It's Hot: In addition to those ultra convenient flyers that comp your admission and first drink, Art Bar offers amazing drink and bottle specials through out the week, so a night out won’t kill your wallet. Also, the second bar in back of the main room has a “walk-up window” accessible from the street in case you need your fav Art Bar cocktail while you are strolling the strip…talk about convenience.
Why It’s Not:The Red Room becomes absolutely sweltering as the night progresses…this is definitely not a club for guys to wear a blazer to.
