Trapeze Fort Lauderdale

Trapeze Fort Lauderdale sits in an unremarkable strip mall on State Road 7 in Tamarac — about 10 miles northwest of downtown Fort Lauderdale — sharing a parking lot with a liquor store and a check-cashing shop. The club is South Florida's longest-running on-premise lifestyle venue, open since the mid-1990s, and celebrated its 30th anniversary in May 2026. Its 9,000 square feet split between a dimly lit main lounge with a sunken dance floor, a central stripper pole, bar-top seating, and three full-service BYOB bars; the resident DJ leans heavily Latin, and the music levels stay just low enough for conversation at the edges. A rotating weekly dinner buffet — carving station, mains like Tuscan-style pork roast or grilled grouper, desserts including creme brulee — gives way to a breakfast spread in the early hours. The playroom area sits behind wooden doors at the back and is clothing-free; street attire is checked in attended lockers with towels provided at no charge. Inside is a maze of vinyl-covered platforms and leather couches, a dividing window room visible from both sides, six private rooms, and an open group area. Couples and single women may attend all five operating nights (Wed–Sun, 8pm to 3–4am); single men are welcome Wed–Fri and Sun but barred on Saturdays. The crowd skews 40s–60s with a strong Latin representation from across South Florida. Themed events rotate weekly — Unicorn Night, Wet Looks, Linen & Lace — with costume contests and seasonal parties. Pricing requires both a membership and a nightly user fee. A Discord community allows members to coordinate before arriving and unlock a $20 discount per event. New members complete registration at self-service kiosks on arrival and may join a guided facility tour any evening before 9pm.
