About Shooters Waterfront

Fort Lauderdale's waterfront institution since 1982.

Shooters Waterfront opened in 1982 on the Intracoastal Waterway in Fort Lauderdale and has remained one of South Florida's most recognizable waterfront bars and restaurants for more than four decades. The combination of open-air dining, live music, boat dock access, and an accessible American seafood menu has made it a consistent destination for locals, boaters, and visitors to the Fort Lauderdale area.

The menu is anchored in Florida coastal classics — conch fritters, fresh mahi-mahi, coconut shrimp, crab cakes — alongside burgers, steaks, and a tropical cocktail program. The signature rum punch and the Waterfront Margarita are as synonymous with Shooters as the Intracoastal views.
