The Wilder

Went for burlesque brunch and it was amazing. My server was very attentive. The ladies who perform are gorgeous!! Being selfish..I wish there were more performers or like a set show vs one performer coming out every 40 mins or so. Also they do brunch but have no coffee. Which I thought was odd but Other than that I have zero complaints. Will def recommend and I'll be back.

Neat little place to go grab some sharable foods, drinks to. Food is excellent and reasonably priced and the drinks are top. More of a come after work or a Friday Saturday mingle place but if in the area I would stop for the food and drinks again. service was excellent very attentive.

That’s my favorite bar — a perfect blend of style and soul. The ambience is effortlessly chic, with every detail adding to its charm. Their cocktails are a revelation: delicious, creative, and unlike anything you’ll find elsewhere.

Wonderful place. First time there. Mino, our server, was wonderful and so was the hostess and other server. They were very conscientious we were being waited on. The lip service cocktail was like drinking a vanilla cloud. The food was amazing. We also had the crab fried rice, but I forgot to take a pic of that. I highly recommend this place and would go again.

Man... the ambience in this place is 🤌🏿🤌🏿 perfect! The happy hour drinks here are🤌🏿🤌🏿 perfect! The food options are somewhat limited for my taste but that's just my personal preference being a fitness head. I'll definitely be visiting this place again. A true diamond in the rough. I also feel as if this place is deliberately going against the grain that most night spots or lounges seem to be following these days. Almost gave me that mid 90's feel. Two thumbs up @ The Wilder 👍👍

A Truly Proper Happy Hour at The Wilder! ​The Wilder doesn't just offer a happy hour—they offer "The Proper Happy Hour," and it lives up to the name in every way. This is far more than your typical discounted drink special; it's a sophisticated yet approachable experience that perfectly blends quality cocktails with truly inspired light bites. ​The drink specials were a genuine highlight. The $5 spirits and wines are a great value, but the $7 Martinis and Classic Cocktails are where the bar truly shines. Whether you opt for a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned or a refreshing Cucumber Martini, the quality is evident—these are crafted cocktails, not simply speed-poured drinks. The addition of the Aperol Spritz Tree is a fun, social touch that elevates the entire vibe. ​However, the small plates menu is what sets The Wilder apart. Far from basic bar snacks, the lite bites were genuinely delicious and showcased real culinary creativity. Items like the Cacio E Pepe Croquettes (which are an absolute must-try!) and the globally inspired Short Rib Birria Empanada were perfectly portioned and packed with flavor, making them ideal companions to the drinks. The blend of Italian, Asian, and Latin influences across the menu makes for an exciting tasting experience. ​The ambiance of The Wilder itself is chic and inviting, creating the perfect setting to unwind after work or start a great evening. For anyone seeking an elevated, delicious, and budget-friendly happy hour experience in Fort Lauderdale, The Wilder is the definitive choice. Highly recommended! Mino took care of us, she was wonderful.

I went to the "The Wilder" and had really no to low expectations because I haven't received any thoughts or reactions from people who have been its always been, "Its cool." Now I realized they may not have wanted me to go and write a review and tell people about it. I most say I was pleasantly surprised and delighted by my experience. Luckily some seats opened at the bar (seems it could be a wait to sit inside, on a Saturday night) sat at the bar and the bartender was amazing and attentive to me and my friend and asked us questions and had great conversation to help us decide on the best drink. I recommend going and spending some time. Dont stop doing great service and delighting your guest.

I came here on a Friday night during the sweet spot right at the end of happy hour and sat at the bar. This place definitely has the perfect vibes for the upcoming autumn and winter seasons and I can't wait to cozy up at one of the tables in a comfy sweater and gossip about the workday with my coworkers over whiskey cocktails come this December lol. Although tbh this place would make a great date night spot as well! The cocktails were excellent and the food was fairly standard and reasonably priced.

Mino was our waitress and she was hands down amaaaazing. She was so kind, quick, and made sure we had a great time. We were here for the burlesque brunch celebrating a bachelorette party! It was so fun and the performers were so incredible. Deff will be back

We hosted our wedding reception here, and if I could give the entire team 10 stars, I would. From start to finish, they displayed the utmost excellence in their communication and dedication to making our night so special. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to try the food that night, but everyone continues to rave about it. All of our guests loved the DJ as well as the dancers. We wanted our wedding to truly feel like a party, and the Wilder exceeded our expectations. I cannot recommend this place enough for any event. A big thank you to Sirleine for being the most amazing and helpful director of events, and a shout-out to the incredible DJ, DJ Dexes, and the dancers for making our night truly memorable.

10/10 service, Jean Manuel curated a fantastic experience for us. The Pistache Yo is a must try. He had extensive knowledge, and was great company. The ambiance was perfect. A night to remember

Beautiful atmosphere, great cocktails. Manuel took care of us at the bar and didn't shy away from the hospitality. His drinks were phenomenal and his energy was warm and welcoming. I will definitely come back for date night! Big hearts!!!

I cannot recommend this spot enough! The staff was incredible. Tamara was our bartender and she made our experience a truly memorable one. From the carefully crafted cocktails to the kind and cheerful demeanor of the staff, this place checked off every box for us. These were the best cocktails we had in FLL, and will make a point to stop in every time we’re in town! 12 out of 10. A must visit spot!

Such a cool, moody vibe — this spot is definitely a gem. The lighting and atmosphere set the perfect tone whether you’re out with friends, on a fun date night, or starting the night with a pre-game. The drinks were delicious and well-made (you can tell they know what they’re doing behind the bar), and the music added to the energy without being overwhelming. Service was also great — friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. I didn’t try the food this time, so I can’t speak on that, but for cocktails, ambiance, and service alone, it’s absolutely worth checking out. Great for groups and just as good for an intimate night out. I’ll definitely be back!

I recently co-hosted a group event at The Wilder, and I couldn’t have been more impressed. The venue was perfect for the 100+ attendees who joined us, and the feedback from everyone was overwhelmingly positive. The staff was fantastic in handling our large group, and management was extremely helpful both leading up to the event and throughout the night. A special thank you to Tamara, whose support and attention to detail truly made the event memorable for everyone who attended. Highly recommend The Wilder for any group gathering or special event.

The place was beautiful and all was good except when you purchase a bottomless drink at $30 and walk out after 4 and still feel sober... it wasnt just me either we were a party of 15 for Burlesque Brunch and all of said the drinks were pathetic. Very expensive experience would have been more fun but...

We made a reservation the night before for 4 people at 9:30 pm. When we arrived, the place looked beautiful and inviting. We ordered some appetizers, but unfortunately our server never mentioned that it was the last call for food. Later, when we tried to order more dishes after having some drinks, we were told the kitchen was already closed. It would have been very helpful if we had been informed about the last call in advance. Regarding the drinks, each of us had between three and four cocktails, but honestly they seemed to have very little alcohol in them, which was quite disappointing. The atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful, but I believe there is room for improvement in communication with guests and in the quality of the drinks.

I came to this restaurant to celebrate my birthday. I’ve been here several times before, so I genuinely believed that for a small group, a reservation wouldn’t be an issue. When we arrived, we were first told there was no space. Then suddenly, they said they could find us a table. That inconsistency alone was frustrating, but it only got worse from there. As soon as we sat down—before even ordering—we were asked to provide a credit card as a deposit. I found this extremely distasteful and inappropriate, especially since this was never mentioned beforehand. On top of that, they do not allow split payments, which was also not communicated in advance. Right after we placed our order, we were told we could only stay for one hour because there was another reservation after us. This is something that should have been clearly stated before we ordered, so we could decide whether we wanted to stay or leave. Not after committing and spending money. Overall, the experience felt disorganized, poorly communicated, and honestly disrespectful. This was supposed to be a birthday celebration, and instead it was stressful and disappointing. I do not recommend this place. I am very disappointed and will not be returning.
