Cool craft beer bar. Small, but friendly. Well rounded beer list. Ryan was an excellent bar keep

Laser Wolf is a great stop for any craft beer lover. They have a decent number of selections on draft, and extensive list of cans, that now you can grab from their fancy new beer fridge! The beer list is always changing. Great team behind the bar, movies on the TV, music playing, and good time. Parking can be tricky…

This is the best bar in Fort Lauderdale. I’ve been a regular since they opened and the staff and ambiance are better than the beer, which is hard to top. They have amazing events and the type of place you feel comfortable going to to have a beer alone or with friends. They have amazing food trucks too. Don’t miss their Halloween party!

Very small, was there for a place t event. Be careful were you park. The street by rail road is monitored by some scam parking management company. $55 ticket NOT FROM CITY OR COUNTY

Response from the owner · 5 months ago

Sounds like you parked in a pay spot somewhere down the road and didn’t pay. We have a free parking lot clearly marked with signage behind the building. What’s a place t event? We will work on being not so small.
