From Garden in the Sky to Wizard Hideaway
Rooftop @1WLO is known for its open-air garden in the sky, lush décor, and sweeping cityscape. For Wands & Wickedness, that familiar skyline transforms into a spellbinding escape. The rooftop becomes a lively lair for witches, wizards, and night owls ready for a little rooftop mischief.
Glowing lights shimmer across the city, the music builds like a spell in motion, and potions are poured with a touch of dark magic. Every corner of the space feels alive, from the bar’s golden glow to the laughter echoing beneath the skyline. Guests can sip, dance and drift through the night surrounded by Fort Lauderdale’s electric skyline. The atmosphere feels secret yet social, elevated yet a little wicked—exactly how Halloween should.
Dress to Impress… or Possess
Costumes are not just encouraged; they are part of the full Rooftop experience. Guests are invited to embrace the evening’s immersive theme with bold, creative, and elevated Halloween looks. Whether it’s a tailored cloak, a modern take on mythical glamour, or a statement piece that turns heads beneath the city lights, this is your chance to dress for the night you want to remember.
Dressing up at Rooftop also makes for incredible content. Capture photos with the city lights as your backdrop, or stage a mini photo shoot with your group before heading to the dance floor. The rooftop’s aesthetic adds a level of polish to every look, making it the ideal Halloween destination for those who love to stand out.
Cocktails That Taste Like Magic
Rooftop @1WLO is already known for its craft cocktails, and for Halloween night, the mixologists are turning up the potion power. Guests can sip on a lineup of one-night-only creations inspired by the wizarding world, including the sweet and spellbinding Butter Beer made with Absolut Vanilla Vodka, Butterscotch Schnapps, cream soda, whipped cream, and caramel. Those who prefer something richer can try Potter’s Potion, a smooth mix of Patrón Reposado Tequila, demerara, and orange and aromatic bitters. Each drink is bold, mysterious, and perfectly on theme for a night where cocktails meet dark magic.
While the night brews its limited-edition magic, Rooftop favorites remain behind the bar. The Violet Sky, made with Grey Goose Vodka, violet liqueur, blackberry, and sage, sets the mood with its deep floral notes and moody hue. For those craving spice, the Hottie brings bold heat with Patrón Reposado Tequila, Ghost Blanco, and ancho chili liqueur. Guests seeking something lighter can sip the Garden Retreat, a bright zero-proof blend of Seedlip Garden 108, cucumber, strawberry, and lemon. It is refreshing, balanced, and perfect for sipping under the stars.
Sink Your Teeth Into Something Wicked
Rooftop’s bites menu is built for nights like this. Rich, bold, and a little indulgent, these dishes pair perfectly with potions and late-night energy.
Kick things off with crispy mozzarella served with basil aioli, or buffalo chicken empanadas that bring the heat with a side of creamy bleu cheese. The beef skewers come marinated in ají panca with salsa verde and ají amarillo aioli, layered with spice and char.
Need something heartier? The double turkey smash burger features crispy onions, pepper jack, and spicy BBQ ranch on a toasted brioche bun with fries. You can also elevate it with chicken pesto pasta and truffle fries for the table.
It’s savory, shareable, and designed to keep the night going. No tricks here, just really good treats.
