My husband and I were just finishing up a lovely weeks vacation in Florida and on a cruise. Our last day we'd packed our belongings in the trunk of our car, including a small gift bag with professional photos from our cruise, two coffee mugs and some handmade soaps for gifts. Great sentimental value but not worth much otherwise. We... more

Visited here on a Tuesday afternoon about 4:30 pm. It looked like it may possibly have been a once-thriving shopping/entertainment area along the New River. Pretty dead when we were there. Drab, with few shops. An Irish pub looked like it was about the only thing up and running with a good crowd. We later discovered that the vibrant area... more

We went there during the day, and it seems like it's more of an evening place. The restaurants and bars are mostly vacant during the day. The movie theater looked nice, I would go there for a movie. It's also accessible from the trolley, and rides are only $0.50 The bars along 2nd Ave near MODS/IMAX are really hopping at... more

We visited here twice during our stay in Fort Luaderdale (in February). The first time was at the weekend during the evening. We found one of the greeters at the restaurant extremely helpful and he told us where we could walk up to Los Olas Blvd or down to the Performing Art centre. We strolled up to Los Olas Blvd... more

We went here during the day. NOTHING was happening! Very few people were around. It is very nicely designed. We had other plans for the evenings and couldn't make it back at night. We will check it out on our next trip (May) and see if the night life is better. more

I just came back from Ft. Lauderdale and thought the Las Olas Riverfront was really cool. I tend to find many places lame, but I thought it was really nice there. It seemed like an outdoor shopping mall of bars/restaurants. I really liked a couple bars right down the street--Voodoo Lounge and E Bar. Had a very good time at... more

This place was okay. It just looked like every other suburban shopping plaza out there. Yeah, the river is great and the water bus ride is fun, but it was a disappointment coming here. Better off on Las Olas blvd (within walking distance) instead. Better food and better shops can be found there. Plus the riverfront is a little bit... more

LOVED IT!!

Just came back from Florida, spent a few nights down at the Riverfront on Las Olas. What can I say...it was the most fun I've had in a while. Cross over the train tracks and there is a whole 2 blocks of nothing but bars/clubs where you can walk around with drink-in-hand and hop around bar to bar! During the... more

This is such a wonderful wonderful place. I am the amazing designer who came up with the spectacular ideas for building a waterfront for the people of Ft. Lauderdale. "People of Ft. Lauderdale! Be glad that God created me! He gave me a gift and this gift I have shared with you!" more
