Alexis and Javier were Amazing! They were so nice and the food and drink recommendations were on point. The vibe is nice, not too much, but you can definitely take it there if you were with a group. overall great experience. read more

Come for the view, stay for the wonderful drinks, food, and service. We went for rooftop sunset and enjoyed the laid back friendly service in this unique location. We will return! read more

Service lowkey not the best. The server will take forever to show up even if it's empty. Then another time I went, they purposely did not take my order for an hour because they were going to close and then said oh sorry our kitchen is closed like wow so they did know i was there for an hour and did not bother to even offer me some water. Service is not good. Food is not bad, but also not the healthiest either. read more

I was completely wooed into choosing Escape Rooftop Bar for my wife's birthday. The reviews promised incredible drinks, impressive food, and a memorable experience. I can confidently say they delivered on one of those things, the experience. Unfortunately, the food felt like a failed attempt to escape... an escape room. Let's start with what absolutely works. The location is stunning. Truly breathtaking. The views are spectacular, the atmosphere is elegant, and the setting makes you feel like you have unlocked a premium level of Fort Lauderdale nightlife. The service is upscale and unhurried. No one rushes you, no one pressures you, and you are encouraged to linger and enjoy the moment. From a vibe perspective, you are winning. The drink menu is limited, but what they offer is top notch. Well crafted, balanced, and enjoyable. Think of the drinks as the first puzzle you solve successfully. Confidence is high at this point. Then the food arrives, and this is where the escape attempt starts to fall apart. We began with the bruschetta, which was absolutely dominated by balsamic. Not gently accented. Not thoughtfully drizzled. This was a full-scale balsamic ambush that completely overwhelmed the dish. Puzzle one failed. Next came the octopus. Perfectly cooked. Tender. Juicy. Textbook execution. Unfortunately, the flavor was nowhere to be found. Every bite was completely hijacked by the beans in the dish, leaving the octopus feeling like a background prop in its own plate. Puzzle two failed, morale dropping. Then came the calamari and mussels. Once again, the seafood was cooked properly, but flavor had clearly escaped through a hidden exit. Bland, forgettable, and confusing in how something prepared this well could taste like so little. Puzzle three failed, clock ticking. The fourth dish was the caprese salad, which somehow managed to swing in the opposite direction of the bruschetta. The tomatoes tasted like they were fresh from a grocery store shelf. The balsamic barely showed up this time, as if it had used up all its energy earlier. The mozzarella sat there watery and bland, contributing nothing and offering no clues. Final puzzle failed. Escape attempt unsuccessful. By the end of the meal, I felt like I had just spent two hours in an escape room where everything looked incredible, the staff was friendly, the room design was flawless, but none of the puzzles worked and you never actually escaped. Overall, Escape Rooftop Bar delivers breathtaking views, excellent service, and strong drinks. But the food turns the entire experience into a beautifully designed trap. When expectations are sky high and the kitchen cannot deliver, the disappointment hits harder. Two stars, awarded for the scenery, the cocktails, and the hope that one day the food finds the exit. read more

This was such a beautiful night. I had a healthcare networking event with The Sum of Five and this was the perfect venue. The views are stunning! The wine, a Cabernet, was very enjoyable and I really enjoyed this place I just wish it were open a bit later. Thank you for such a great event experience and I can't wait to go back! read more

Escape Rooftop Bar - Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Escape Rooftop Lounge has one of the best views in Fort Lauderdale hands down. It's the perfect spot to grab a drink, lounge, and take in the skyline and water views. The vibe is relaxed yet elevated, making it great for a casual night out or a special event. They also serve food, with light bites and shareable options that pair really well with the cocktails perfect for snacking while you enjoy the atmosphere rather than a full sit dowbmeal. I came for a doggy Christmas event, and it was such a fun experience. Super pet-friendly, welcoming, and well organized, which made it even more memorable. Whether you're stopping by for drinks, food, or an event, Escape Rooftop Lounge is a great place to unwind with a view. read more

Low key, relaxed and beautiful views of Ft Lauderdale. The staff was friendly and attentive (Jorge and Sisko). The Margherita Pizza was delicious. They have a beautiful pool on the roof too. We are really glad we chose Escape for our date night! read more

Escape Rooftop Bar - Fort Lauderdale at sunset - Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

See all

This is one of my favorite spots in Fort Lauderdale. It's a rooftop with a great view of the Intracoastal, the Ocean and downtown. There's no minimum to spend like other places and it has a very casual but upscale vibe. It's located behind the Shorebreak hotel, so you have to come into the hotel lobby, walk through their main restaurant, out to the pool area and then get on the elevator to the Escape Rooftop bar. A bit confusing for those who are not familiar. They have daily specials as well as Happy hour specials. The Bar has serving area with several tables located close to the pool....then there are a few more private tables overlooking the water. Great vibe, great service. Prices are a bit high due to the ambiance and location, but not terrible. I have had a few things and I loved their Arancini, their calamari and mussels tapas plate. Their pizza was just average, it needed to be more well done. Overall a great spot for a nice romantic date or a special night. read more

The views from the Escape Rooftop Bar are spectacular. There is lots of great seating. We really enjoyed the food and drinks. Happy hour starts 30 minute before sunset and ends 30 minutes after sunset. We had excellent service. This is such a great place to hang out. I highly recommend it and will be returning. read more

So we just left this place. I honestly don't want to knock it. Very cute venue! Beautiful view! Romantic. Great vibe. Great music. Seating areas are just adorable. Now comes the "but." Cocktails were good but pricey for the size. The caprese salad was good also. We put in the order for the food at the same time. And so we waited..... and waited.....anddd waited.... One of the servers asked if our food had come out, we said no. Waited some more. They apologized and gave us 2 complimentary cocktails. When the food eventually came out, I promise I've never seen entrees so small in my life. If you make a circle with your forefingers and thumbs...... that's how big my meal was. I had the scallops and they were delicious but I told my husband "damn, I'm gonna need Taco Bell on the way home!" He had the short rib risotto which came in 4 meatballs which were also delicious! But $150 later and we are headed for beer and sliders at the pub! read more

A little confusing to find the place. When you reach the floor, someone has to open the door from inside and the signs are not very clearly marked in the elevator. But once you reach, the view are just amazing. Very trendy atmosphere. Drinks are expensive, but you pay for the views. The place is relatively new so check out before the word goes out. read more

Stayed hotel and went to the pool several times . Ambiance and drinks great. The service was fantastic and bar tender remembered us day to day. We didn't eat but food looked great and folks seemed to enjoy it read more

I was a little hesitant to come here for a date night but I am so glad I did! We hadn't heard of the rooftop before but it's exactly what my husband and I were looking for. A place with a great view, chill, private, quiet and with amazing food and drinks. Our server gave us great recommendations based on what we each liked. The pineapple drink was amazing and refreshing. My husband's drink, the cucumber and basil was also great but a little too strong for me. Our favorite dish was the salad, the pears and Gorgonzola cheese were amazing. All the flavors combined perfectly. The pizza was also very good, I loved how great the fig tasted with the pesto. The arancini was also very yummy, the red sauce tied it all together. Lastly the tiramisu was huge! Definitely recommend sharing it, my husband and I couldn't even finish it. We loved coming here and look forward to coming back. read more

Stunning location, stunning views... Great vibe for a pre dinner drink or to watch the sunset. Excellent service

Unfriendly service, mediocre drink and the bar had several patrons and before we ordered a second round we were told last call even though it was an hour before the posted closing time. Bartender acted like they wanted us to leave so we did. Ok not going back. read more

Drinks are excellent (but pricey) and the views are amazing. Nice bar manager as well. The only thing is....you have to get there THROUGH The Shorebreak Hotel. So map/google that...walk through the lobby, through the restaurant, past the pool, and the elevator for the roof is back behind the hotel pool. read more

We were visiting on a long road trip and this was our first time here. The crew/team here goes out of their way to make sure yo are taken care of with amazing drinks, cocktails and the food is also amazing here. Vanessa and Jorge made us feel at home every day and their service was excellent. We actually decided on two separate days to just hang out by the rooftop pool ALL day and drink and eat there instead of venturing out and it was so nice. Great people work here and the view is incredible. We are already planning our return! read more

Beautiful view. The drinks and food were great. But the best was our bartender Steven! He was so kind and attentive! He helped take our picture and made us feel so comfortable. Tip: entrance is at the back gate that looks like the wrong entrance. read more

Nice place with a nice view! Not the best service, but good happy hour. The food was ok!

Spent two afternoons here during our stay in Ft Lauderdale. Relaxed house music set the tone. Excellent cocktails and nice patrons. Winner!

Not a bad vibe but they have zero umbrellas for people that are dining which makes it unbearable in this heat to sit and have a meal in the beating sun. I even asked for an umbrella but they could not accommodate. Not going to do well in the summer if they can't figure something out. read more

Jorge and Patrick were amazing. Thank you both for your service. Drinks were incredible and the food amazing.

Great views. Tasty food. Fabulous service. Escape is a hidden gem that I highly recommend. Will 100% be back when I'm in town! read more

Escape Rooftop Bar - View from bar - Bars Near Me - Fort Lauderdale, Florida

"Escape was one of the most beautiful experiences I had of a rooftop bar. I was there to celebrate my birthday, and they made it extra special. Vanessa, the waitress, was excellent; her food recommendations on the menu were yummy. The atmosphere was fantastic, and The champagne recommendation was excellent. The Director of food and Beverage (Nathan) came by to wish me a happy birthday and popped the bottle of champagne for me that was nice lol. I would recommend this place to anyone that's looking for a quiet place with a beautiful view." read more

Great place! Their bar food menu is delicious. Venessa makes outrages cocktails. Ambiance is relaxed with a beautiful view. Will return each time we're in town. read more

Alexis was wonderful! attentive, warm and really made our experience worth while. we will definitely be back!

My experience there was pretty good. The cocktail concoctions are excellent with the dry ice special effects and different fancy garnishes. We should've made a reservation to get a table because it was packed, so we sat at the bar. The bartender was nice, but he was not on-point. I also watched him pick up the ice with his bare hands. One bartender wore gloves, but the other one did not. I know I'm a bit more cautious after Covid especially but that kinda grossed me out. The burgers were mediocre and the shrimp cocktail had 3 shrimps. They need to step up their game at those prices! read more
