Wreck Bar

Fort Lauderdale


After one too many cocktails you might wonder whether you're seeing things as you look through the Wreck Bar's 'portholes' to see three or four mermaids swimming seductively past. Advice: keep drinking and enjoy this piece of priceless Florida kitsch. The show begins at 7pm, but you'll want to get there early for a spot.

There are nightly 21-and-over 10pm burlesque shows with the mermaids too (reservations required), as well as a weekly ladies-themed 'mermen' option.
