Pier Sixty-Six: Fort Lauderdale’s Ultimate Waterfront Dining & Meeting Destination

A Fort Lauderdale icon is making its highly anticipated return. Pier Sixty-Six, a historic waterfront landmark, is undergoing a $1 billion transformation, bringing back its legendary Pier Top lounge alongside a collection of world-class dining, luxury accommodations, and state-of-the-art meeting spaces. As the city’s premier waterfront destination, Pier Sixty-Six is now accepting reservations for stays and events beginning January 1, 2025.

The Return of the Iconic Rotating Pier Top Lounge

Since its debut in 1965, Pier Top, the rotating cocktail lounge and champagne bar atop the 17-story Pier Sixty-Six tower, has captivated visitors with its breathtaking 360-degree views. Once a glamorous hangout for Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack, the venue became a defining feature of Fort Lauderdale’s skyline.

After concerns that it might never spin again following Hurricane Irma's damage in 2017, Pier Top is officially making its comeback, fully restored and modernized. The historic mid-century modern landmark, known for its striking 66 spires and a full rotation every 66 minutes, will be an exclusive venue for VIP receptions, board meetings, and champagne brunches timed with sunrise over the Atlantic.

"Pier Top has long been known for its stunning exterior and breathtaking views," says Brett Boreing, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing. "Now, its interior design will be just as inspiring, with an observation terrace accommodating up to 25 guests overlooking yachts and the Intracoastal Waterway."

Luxury Dining & Culinary Excellence

Pier Sixty-Six is set to become a culinary hotspot, featuring 12 dining outlets that cater to casual waterfront dining, high-end gastronomy, and vibrant social scenes. Leading the charge is an expert culinary team, including Frank Serindat, Director of Food and Beverage, and Chef Aldo Novoa, a Mexico City native known for his innovative approach to cuisine.

Signature Dining Experiences

Garni Cafe – A French-inspired all-day brunch restaurant designed by the legendary Jeffrey Beers. Open until 4 p.m., the venue transforms into an exclusive evening dining space for live chef showcases, interactive dinner series, and team-building cooking competitions.
