As if out of thin air, Fort Lauderdale Beach has a dreamy rooftop bar located up in the clouds — and Fort Lauderdale residents are already on cloud nine.
On Friday, April 12, Nubé rooftop opened on the 26th floor of the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Beach Resort, making it Fort Lauderdale Beach’s first and only rooftop bar and lounge. Nubé blends lounge vibes with elevated dining, making it a “lounge-aurant” (AKA a lounge-restaurant hybrid) found usually in Miami. A recent Reel posted on the bar’s official Instagram account quickly garnered hundreds of thousands of views, with female commenters tagging friends with enthusiasm.
This dream-like rooftop lounge is thanks to hospitality group the Restaurant People, AKA the group behind trendy rooftop (and ground-level) spots in Miami and Fort Lauderdale like Yolo, Rooftop @1WLO, S3, Boatyard, Rosa Sky, and Giselle. “We cannot wait to share our latest rooftop concept with unbelievable ocean views and the hospitality that the Restaurant People is known for, all with an exciting Nubé twist,” says Tim Petrillo, CEO and cofounder of the Restaurant People.
Nubé encompasses 4,500 square feet of indoor and outdoor lounge and bar seating, plus a wraparound balcony with foliage that already sounds perfect for scoring plenty of Instagram and TikTok content with an oceanfront view. The space even features handmade emerald and white floor tiles and a giant hand sculpture to take photos of (or in front of).
