The Ultimate Post-Convention Happy Hour & Private Event Spot in Fort Lauderdale

(Just 10 Minutes from the Broward County Convention Center)

You’re in town for a trade show, expo, or convention at the Greater Fort Lauderdale / Broward County Convention Center. Your days are slammed with booths, breakout sessions, and handshakes. When the exhibit hall finally closes, you need one place that checks every single box for your team and your clients:

• Only a 10-minute ride
• Space that actually fits up to 400+ people
• Craft beer that doesn’t taste like every other corporate bar
• Zero stress logistics (free parking, indoor + covered outdoor areas)
• Private and semi-private options so your group isn’t fighting the public for seats

That place is LauderAle Brewery & Taproom — and companies exhibiting at FLIBS, Seatrade, HIMSS, and dozens of other conventions have already made us their official after-hours headquarters.
