The Wilder

If you’re looking for a Fort Lauderdale bar with a little more energy—perhaps one that plays top 40 hits at a fairly high volume—try The Wilder. This place will definitely make you feel like you’re at a bar, but it’s not too chaotic. There’s plenty of places to sit down and the drinks are solid. The bar is broken up into three different spaces: a front bar, a bigger lounge, and an outdoor patio. They’re all perfectly fine places to sip cocktails in nice clothes on a Saturday night.
