Secret 1309 Las Olas

Overview

Tucked behind the storefronts of East Las Olas Boulevard, Secret 1309 Las Olas lives up to its name. The entrance sits in the rear of the building at 1309 E Las Olas Blvd, giving it a speakeasy quality that regulars clearly enjoy keeping to themselves. This trendy nightclub opens just one night a week – Sunday from 9 PM to 2 AM – making each session feel like an event rather than a routine outing.

The drink program covers the full range: cocktails, beer, wine, and hard liquor, with guests singling out the cocktails as a highlight. Food is also available, so you can settle in for the full evening without needing to eat beforehand. The single-night format keeps the energy focused and the crowd intentional – people come here because they want to be here, not because they stumbled past an open door.

Atmosphere skews trendy with a welcoming edge. Secret 1309 is explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly and recognized as a transgender safespace, which sets a tone of openness that shapes the whole room. Groups are well-suited here, and the vibe leans social rather than bottle-service exclusive. Expect dancing as part of the experience – this is a nightclub, not a lounge.

Outdoor seating adds a nice option for cooling off between sets on the dance floor, and the Las Olas location puts you within walking distance of the waterfront and the boulevard’s restaurant row. With only a handful of reviews so far and a 4.7-star Google rating, Secret 1309 operates more like a word-of-mouth destination than a heavily marketed nightspot. If you are looking for a Sunday night out in Fort Lauderdale that feels genuinely under the radar, this is worth finding.
