Cant believe last night was our first visit to the Wilder, its been open for years but we skipped it because we heard we had aged out of their demographic but friends of ours said eff that, lets go and we did. Had a great time!Its not a large space but very cool, great music and drinks served pretty quickly.We arrived early since, well, because we are older, and found seating but it filled up pretty quickly.Lively atmosphere and a tiny dance floor made it a fun night.If youre over 40 years old you may not see many others your age but still recommend you try it and show the Youngs how its done.

We enjoyed their happy hour very much when we came. Wells, house wine, and 1 cocktail (cucumber collins) were $7 each for happy hour, and they also offered small plates for $7 each. The small plates are exactly that, small. We ordered the jerk quesadilla and it came with 3 tiny quesadillas- so small that they combined to make 1.5 regular sized quesadillas. The fish dip was probably 1/4 the size I am used to getting at other places. Not necessarily a megative, just something to keep in mind. 2 girls could probably split 3 plates. The cucumber collins was the right amount of sweet that is standard to a collins drink.The ambiance was nice as there is a ton of greenery outside in a nice alley looking space. It was just us + 1 other party sitting outdoors. I was told the place used to be much more lively but I guess the pandemic is taking its toll on the area. Well have to come back to make sure they stay open! Ft laud needs more places like the Wilder.

Easily the most beautiful bar in Fort Lauderdale and with the best drinks too. When you walk in you feel like youre in a movie. I dont usually go on about decor when talking about a bar but this place is really different, there is so much attention to detail. Best of all the bartenders actually know how to make real cocktails which is sadly a lost art. An awesome place to go after work with some friends and and even better place to spend a Friday or Saturday night. Lots of hot girls here too!

No social distancing. Same old scene as any dance club. Young crowd with small space

Excellent food and drinks, service by Ryan was impeccable, gorgeous atmosphere with exceptional cleanliness, an incredible patio, been to many other restaurants in the area and no comparison... Additionally they have happy hour everyday... Thanks again Ryan for your exemplary dedication!

If you want a cool speakeasy, cabaret, cocktail bar this is it. From the carefully and beautifully crafted cocktails, to the international bites this is a place to meet and mingle. The cabaret shows were super sultry and classy. The Wilder is the place to go when you want to impress a date, meet new people, or guys and gals night. Highly recommend

The outdoor patio is the best! Got this tropical feel to it that is unique then the inside looks like a speak easy. The drinks were strong!

On the 6th of this month I attempted to go to The Wilder I made reservations about 5 hours prior. It was about 6 in the afternoon when I arrived. My party and one single girl came in at the same time. My party was not acknowledged nor given a table. The single women was Caucasian and was greeted the MINUTE she walked in got a table and prepared her table with water and napkins. We were still just standing there and one man just briefly told us you can sit somewhere outside or by the door mind you. There was PLENTY room inside the building....my party was very confused. And obviously at this point we felt racially profiled. So we just sat anywhere inside the building. And about 10-15 mins passed by and they finally acknowledged us at the area we were sitting. The waiter just put down napkins and immediately told us that a large party will be coming in shortly so we will have to move by the door or outside. Mind you I had reservations already for my party so I wasn’t sure why they were insisting us to go outside. And on my reservations I put for my party to sit in doors... long story short I was anticipating to come The Wilder since the beginning of the year and it was terrible to say the least. If you are not white or have on Gucci or YSL you are not “welcomed”. They like to keep up with a certain “image” I suppose, but definitely will not be going back. Sad because I was looking forward to it.

Jessica the bartender, gave me outstanding service.I only came for a Togo order and she sold me on drinks. I sat down for 30 minutes and enjoyed myself more than I ever would at any other restaurant in the city.Her hospitality was amazing, will definitely return !

Omg Wilder your rock! Love getting rose’ here with my girls, we always wild out at the wilder, this place rocks. The music is great and it’s just a fun scene!

Unbeatable happy hour! Seriously- $5 small plates and cocktails that are creative, delicious and made by the best of the best. The vibe is fun & mysterious yet gorgeous and welcoming.️

Better than your average bar food with fun waitresses. Win win!

Nice place! Love this cute little bar. enjoyed my time here.

Wow I absolutely love their cocktails and atmosphere. This is the best lounge in town. Super sexy and classy. I definitely recommend it.

Loved this place. The drink menu was unique and decor was super cool. Great sport to meet a few friends for a drink or date night!

Great atmosphere, really good food and beautiful people. What could be better? This is my new spot!

One of my favorite places in Fort Lauderdale! Jean Manuel is the absolute most entertaining bartender in town!

The food was just ok I paid 12 bucks for 6 wings which I think was quite pricey. This is a one and done restaurant for me. My son had the flat bread and it was dry and tasteless we will not be returning. We had happy hour at the movie theater restaurant and the food was much better by far.

The Wilder is a good time. In terms of food there are some fine vegetarian options on the menu... my friends and I split plantains as an app which come highly recommended. The fruit-infused rum is intensly sweet and an exotic, fun change. On a friday night there was a diverse and interesting crowd that contributed toThe Wilders laid-back and fun atmosphere. Overall its a refreshing place to be, especially if (like me) youre on an overload of Italian food.

I adore this place! We go very frequently and it has never let us down. Amazing cocktails, cool and intimate vibe, beautifully decorated. The happy hour is quite busy, Id avoid it if possible, but overall a great spot!

It’s cool to find spot like this! Amazing and very special place, delicious dishes, professional and friendly stuff. Special thank you for great cocktails. Everything is amazing Visit them!

I love the place. It is hidden behind some bushes but easy to find, just follow the great music selection.You probably already know it, but I must reinforce it. Great place for cocktails!I was lucky to come here when they were inaugurating a new menu. You must try the Irish garden drink as it is fantastic.The dont have many food options so Id suggest you having the ribs with fries if your hungry as the portion is well served.Also, I wish you can be served by Amanda, she served my table and she is fantastic.

My husband and I went on a Thursday night. It was busy and loud, at first we didn’t know how it would play out. We were there maybe a few minutes when a server greeted and seated us. They had a live dj (DJ Misha) he was amazing. They also had about 4 artists there painting/creating while everyone watched. We ordered drinks and appetizers, both were very very good. The Wilder is a place full of variety. Variety when it comes to the atmosphere, food, and the people. Anyone can go, and feel welcomed.

Absolutely looooovvvveee this place!!! Grat music, great drinks, amazing food and wonderful company!!!!

Beautiful venue. super friendly staff. very good looking crowd and good food with very reasonably priced drinks.

Awesome bar with the coolest vibe. Chill in the evening at happy hour. Upbeat at night and nicely lit. Great bar staff and well made drinks. Steven was helpful and straight forward, attentive but not at all disruptive. Food was also delicious. Old Fashioned, Moscow Mule, and Fries were all perfect!

Nice outdoor atmosphere here. Great drinks and service.

Best mojito by far on my list! Great atmosphere and service!

We enjoyed our Founders Day night out. Server with patient and on point. DJ was banging! He even took in some of our requests. It was an awesome venue to celebrate our Centennial

I had the best old fashion at this spot! The Netflix and chill! Must try... Awesome place to do private event.

Awesome spot for some drinks and fun

Great pizza, great ambiance, delicious cocktails

Incredible bar with cocktails as unique as the business is. From the moment you enter, youre greeted with a beautiful interior and ambiance that sets the mood for unwinding. There was a lot of work put into the design so definitely dont overlook this aspect. Its quint yet spacious enough and there is even outdoor seating. The staff was very accommodating - Patrick was an excellent bartender and server and make our experience memorable. The cocktails options are plentiful and theyre made with lots of love - no fillers here. The bites were also delicious - the pork rib ends, chicken empanadas, and raw oysters were the perfect accompaniment. Happy hour will be your best bang for buck but they have a variety of special and themed nights worth checking out. Will definitely make this a usual.

I love the cocktails, nice services, the show at night was awesome. I love to scape from work with my friends to The Wilder

Cool little lounge and bar in Fort Lauderdale. Thought it overall had a really cool vibe to it with good music. Has an outdoor section as well which was nice! If your looking for a place to check out and don’t want to drive down to Miami we recommend this cool little place. Fun to go with a group.

Great atmosphere, great drinks. I loved the show. Sexy women, classy performance. Security present to keep everyone feeling safe. DJ was on point....and did jot stick to one genera of music. Go- Go- Go.... but make reservations amd get there early.

Great drinks, good eats. Its that simple and they do it right.

This place was amazing! Right off of the Main Street and tucked away but so awesome inside! It’s really dark and it kind of reminds me of a speak easy but the drinks are great and the servers are 100%!

Great place, chill vibes and great music!

This is a cool bar with nice lighting and decor. They were inviting and polite. The cocktails were a little overpriced and after ordering the same drinks from different bartenders, proved there were consistency issues. The bar also started off cool and calm when we got there around 830pm, but started getting louder, darker, and way more crowded around 1030pm. Making it hard to walk through. The bar counter top could definitely use a wipe down more frequently, as the same puddle of sticky gunk stayed in the same spot the entire 2 hours we hung out at the counter. Id still go back and recommend giving The Wilder a visit.

Chicken breast sandwich was excellent. Juicy just the right marinade and fresh.

1st time there for a wedding. Beautiful venue, the wedding food was good they had crab cakes which were really good. Their drinks are pretty Exotic one came in a skull quite a few people order it. Peacock feathers in some drinks. You have indoor and outdoor sitting. Plenty of parking. Music on the weekends. Since it was a wedding I have no pictures to post which means I have to go back to get the story on the Peacock enjoy myself. Post again about the Wilder in Ft. Lauderdale.

Sure its a 5 star review, but thats only because I couldnt stand the atmosphere long enough to actually try the food or drinks or measure the service. Its 2020, if your gonna play Donna Summer at a bar In Ft Lauderdale you better have Dragqueens. Its the kind of place that makes bland and ordinary look exciting.

Best atmosphere drinks food & service !! Best night life in all of south Florida ! DJ is always on point! Top security so you always feel safe ! Hands down best spot for date night or group events !!

Great drinks and good vibes

Such a classy and low key place. The drinks are good and reasonably priced, and I love there side garden.

Ambiance was amazing. Great place to get a drink. Drinks were delicious and different.

Cool place for a drink!

Nice atmosphere and good food and drinks

Very chic spot to have a drink with a new date. Impress her with the island handshake or wow him with the signature wilder.

I love it here drinks and service is always great

Music is on point, go DJ

Totally love this place its a very cool vibe most definitely a place to check out if you are in town

Great service, cool vibe

Great bar offering well prepared cocktails and small bites. Good vibe with a nice outdoor area. Free parking lot.Ill definitely be back, with a reservation because it can get crowded.

One of my favorite craft cocktail bars ever. Beautiful ambiance, always good music

Loved the scenery ️

Love the vibe here. Really fun, good music, drinks are delicious. Carrie was wonderful, she was very helpful and gave great recommendations. I can’t wait to come back!

I love this place the music is old school and new school! The drinks were great too! I loved the El Diablo its sweet and spicy!

Awesome little spot to grab a drink or two. First time i went it was a very chill vibe, went back again on a Saturday and it was awesome. DJ was playing great music for all ages and tastes. Good mix of people. Definitely recommend!

The drinks were good but tiny. The atmosphere was quant and very pleasing to the eye, but seating was also limited.

Loved the drinks but for it not being busy the bartender was very slow. Over all loved the place

Had a great night here. Bar food was great and its cool spot with a good vibe.

Outstanding service & drinks

Great cocktails and good food.

We held a party at The Wilder a few months ago. They did a great job tending to our needs!

This place is awesome. Its a hidden in Fort Lauderdale. The staff are very friendly and they know how to mix their drinks well. This isnt just a toss your drink in a cup and hope for the best, they take the time to make it properly so it tastes good. The atmosphere is perfect especially when the weather is good. It can get crowded though.

If you’re looking for a unique bar and lounge off the typical Las Olas generic routine you have found the right spot! The decor and atmosphere are amazing. Not to mention the craft cocktails are well thought out and delicious. Recently they added a small menu so you can order late night bites!

Very cool place in the heart of downtown Fort Lauderdale. The drinks are very good. The bartenders are on point. The music is thumping. You would have no idea from the outside that this place exists. There are multiple rooms, the vibe is cool, and there is even an outdoor space. Things truly get Wilder at the Wilder.

Fresh and creative menu. Really enjoyed the atmosphere too. Looking forward to going back and having another meal. I got the spinach salad, AMAZING!! I added fish. Totally go and check it out!

This place is amazing!! The dancing starts around 11am and the DJ on Fridays is on point. And, takes requests. An older-ish crowd with great music and amazing vibe. The drinks are on point, too. Ah! The best place on fort Lauderdale if youre interested in dancing the night away.

Atmosphere is awesome! Drinks are good too! Got our drinks then headed to the patio because the weather was nice. Seating outside was reserved for people ordering drinks only. We already had ours. Buzz killer. I dont like establishment that impose rules on their guests, would give it 5 stars otherwise.

The only bar I want to go to in Downtown Fort Lauderdale. Great service and great drinks. Music was on point too.

Nice smoked old fashioned. Great drinks

Im glad I discovered this place to dance on Saturdays night cocktails are freaking unique in everyway on taste,name, garnished as well music is lit the dj plays all kinds of music thats a plus I would definitely make this my new spot on Saturday nights

Good cocktails, happy hour makes the price bearable. Good vibe and the crowd started to look alright. Ill go back.

Fun Atmosphere, Great Music, Nice Vibe

Sophisticated atmosphere, not too loud and great drinks.

Great venue, chill atmosphere, drinks and music....

Steve bartender is the man great food and drinks A+

I went to the wilder for a birthday party. As a person of color you are not welcome. You will be waiting to place your order for your drink as you watch other people go before you. I then question the bottle girl why she didnt ask me what I wanted to drink she stated she did not see me after a hour of being here. So I opened a bar tab thinking it was going to better but it wasnt whenever it wasnt white u had to wait. This was my first and last time at this place they play our music but we are not welcomed. And I am in here as I write this smh.

Amazing cocktails and Brian S. Is amazing behind the bar!

Great spot...has an indoor and outdoor space. Indoor is loud in the evenings, and outdoor is definitely best when the weather is cooler!

Very nice nightlife joint. Multiple rooms and nice courtyard area. Sound system is solid.

The DJ and the bartenders were great, but the drinks on the other hand were disappointing, you could barely taste the alcohol and the syrups were overpowering the drinks. They tasted like sweet tarts...

Amazing Bar I love the concept the music is fantastic Fridays and Saturdays

Beautiful space, didnt try the food or drinks so not sure

Nice staff, great atmosphere. Dirty glasses though... dont like that.

What Lauderdale has needed for a long time. A huge step up from the fratboy haunts on the beach and further west. A spot to hang with some interesting folk who know how to have a chill fun time. Highly, highly recommend!!!

Cozy, speakeasy-like atmosphere with a unique creative cocktail menu.

You cant go wrong in this bar/club free parking and a lot parking space, drinks are really good

This is a very cool place

Great place for Holiday party had a blast dj was spinning for like an hour then music was just playing the only down fall was how hidden the place is its next to a bank past it 3 times before I realized we were at location parking in back fills up quickly

My fiance went to visit her best friend for her birthday, they told me they were at this bar, I decided to call and send some bottles of champagne over to their table, Marco helped me out and made it happen, thank you! The table loved the bottles he picked out. I just asked for something sweet, and he got it right.

I really loved this place. We didnt get to go into the main section because there was a private party going on but the bar area was fun. I would definitely go back.

Loved it. Fun crowd, great bartenders, music was pumping, and people were dancing.

Very nice

Dang! Posh vibe without posh prices. Epic cocktails!!!! Dark, cozy ambience. Did I mention the EPIC cocktails? After dark....gets CRAY!

Nice spot in Downtown Ft. Lauderdale to grab a drink. Great atmosphere without breaking the bank.

It was our very first time there and I was overwhelmed with joy. EXCELLENT atmosphere EXCELLENT Service and the place to be ! Cant wait to return.
