Shooters Waterfront is an Intracoastal Waterway bar and restaurant in Fort Lauderdale with outdoor waterside seating, live music, strong cocktails, and a seafood-forward menu, best for groups, date nights, and weekend brunch.

About Shooters Waterfront

Shooters Waterfront sits directly on the Intracoastal Waterway at 3033 NE 32nd Ave, with roughly 15 waterside tables shaded by umbrellas and a steady parade of yachts drifting past. You can pull up by boat or hop the water taxi, arrival by water is half the experience. The drink program runs deep: signature cocktails like the Guava Martini and Watermelon Mint Cooler sit alongside a full wine list, local craft beers, and a happy hour that runs Monday through Friday from 4 to 6 PM in the bar area only. Live music adds energy without drowning out conversation.

The kitchen lands harder than most waterfront spots. Fish tacos get repeated praise from regulars and visitors alike, and the lobster sandwich is a strong brunch pick if you skip the buffet option for a la carte. Appetizers worth flagging include the Korean beef short ribs, frito misto, guava chili wings, and a thick New England clam chowder. The mac and cheese and fish and chips both hold up as comfort-food staples, and the beet salad, built with three varieties of beets, pulls its weight for lighter appetites. Vegan, vegetarian, and healthy options round out a menu that handles group dining without forcing compromises.

The crowd skews broad: families with kids at brunch, couples on date nights, tourist groups of six or thirteen, solo diners at the bar. Weekend brunch draws a wait, and reservations are recommended for any meal. Valet parking is available alongside a public lot, and a walkable beach sits about ten minutes south. Service gets called out constantly, servers here operate with real attentiveness, and management steps in personally when something needs fixing. The vibe reads as polished-casual: upscale enough for an anniversary, relaxed enough for a Sunday afternoon with no agenda.
