Every Monday - Friday from 4:00 pm - 7:00 pm, Shooters Waterfront brings you a happy hour you’ll never forget: mainly because you’ll probably be back the next day! Select handcrafted cocktails, vintage wines, and local craft beers are half-off, and light bites are discounted too, so you can truly melt away the worries of the workweek.

You’ll be enjoying your Moscow Mule on a beautiful dock as you watch the sun go down with a swirl of colors that closely resemble the next drink you are eyeing on the menu. Happy hours are best with friends, so bring the gang; maybe even get to know your coworkers a little better. The choice is yours and we’ll be here at the same time every day to help you make it!

You’ve carefully planned your gifts for months and ordered just the right roses with heart-shaped chocolates on the side. Maybe a bit of a breakfast-in-bed surprise was how the morning started and you want everything to stay perfect as the day rolls on. Give yourself some breathing room and put away the recipe book, because we’re here to help you show your love through gastronomic perfection.

Our Chef’s Dinner Special is a medley made for two. It features the perfect marriage of broiled lobster tail and filet mignon. The surf ‘n’ turf is accompanied by saffron whipped potatoes, asparagus, and a demi-glace. Celebrate your love built for two with a dinner made in two’s. Dinner will run from 4:00 pm to 10:00 pm, so make sure to reserve your spot today!

This event combines the best parts of any good New Year’s Eve party. Earlier in the night, a four-course feast will start you off. Enjoy delicacy after delicacy of hand-crafted deliciousness alongside the best waterfront view around. Once your food settles a bit, you’ll enjoy three unique live acts that are sure to get you dancing. The party will be rolling all night long and a champagne toast will follow the countdown.

The festivities will begin at 8:00 pm and last until 1:00 am. With a price of only $150 for everything mentioned above, you’ll definitely want to call ahead and reserve your spot today!

Shooters Waterfront is looking to dazzle you this Thanksgiving with all of your favorites and some untraditional specialties too. The herb-infused roasted turkey’s aroma will fill up the room, but so will the honey glazed ham and prime rib au jus. On the side, try a green bean almondine or a corn succotash. Whatever your palate, you’ll be sure to love a unique Thanksgiving alongside an intracostal sunset. The full Thanksgiving buffet is available for $56 for adults, $26 for children, and free for kids under 5. Reserve your table today and have a happy Thanksgiving! 

When we say that the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show is a big event, we’re not kidding. Well over 100,000 visitors flock to the seaside for a glimpse of these luxurious giants. You could join these 100,000 other fans and fight for a good view or you could snag a front-row seat at Shooters Waterfront and watch from a comfortable seat while sipping on hand-crafted cocktails and gourmet appetizers. If this seems like a no-brainer to you, you’re not alone so make sure to call ahead and reserve your best seats in the house.

So what exactly is Floridian cuisine? While it can be difficult to summarize exactly what Floridian cuisine is, it’s much easier to show you. It’s basically food that turns into sunshine and ocean waves right on your plate. It’s daring to turn your breakfast omelet inside out with lump crab and shrimp. It’s the freshest Mahi Mahi sandwich or taco you can get without needing to catch the delicious fish yourself. It’s swordfish, lobster, and scallops seared or broiled to perfection (or maybe tossed in a risotto with seared asparagus). At this point, let your growling stomach and watering mouth lead the way to our tables and see for yourself how true Floridians eat.

With one successful concert down and two to go, you still have plenty of time to see for yourself why Shooters is the premier concert venue of the summer. With cold flowing drinks, gourmet munchies and meals, and a beautiful South Florida dockside view, time will seem to melt away into the ocean. Complimentary dockage means you can arrive in style and food/drink specials mean you can stay in style.

The last two concert series of the summer will take place on August 31 and September 28. The event is open to the public with free entry and will, of course, take place right at Shooters Waterfront at 3003 NE 32nd Ave. Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308. The lineup is as follows.

Thanksgiving is a time for reflection, for relaxation. It’s a holiday best spent among family and friends; and at Shooters and The Grateful Palate, we think it’s best celebrated along the water. This season, we once again invite you to leave the cooking to us. Whether you’re looking to linger by the Intracoastal or hurry back home, rally your loved ones, head to Fort Lauderdale, and observe Thanksgiving the way it was meant to be — calm, happy, in amiable company.
