Sparrow Rooftop Sends Fort Lauderdale Sky High
Sparrow Rooftop Takes Fort Lauderdale Nightlife 25 Stories Up With Breezy Views, Bold Cocktails, Beautiful Energy and a Sky-High Party Vibe.
January 23rd, 2026
South Florida Insider recently flew up, figuratively and almost literally, for the Sparrow Soars to New Heights event at Sparrow Rooftop in Fort Lauderdale, and the night quickly proved why this 25th-floor hideaway continues to be one of the city’s most stylish spots to rise above the ordinary.
Located atop The Dalmar Fort Lauderdale, Sparrow Rooftop already has the kind of built-in wow factor most nightlife venues dream about. The official site describes it as an intimate urban hideaway with cocktails, décor, and unexpected discoveries built into every step of the night, and that description felt right on the money once the elevator doors opened.
Down on the street, Fort Lauderdale felt exactly like South Florida does best: warm, lively, and buzzing with that familiar city heat. But once we made it up to the rooftop, the entire mood shifted. The breeze hit, the skyline opened up, and suddenly the night had a completely different rhythm. It was cooler, smoother, and instantly more elevated in every sense of the word.
The atmosphere was beautifully curated without feeling stiff. The rooftop had a colorful, polished look, the crowd was stylish and social, and the energy balanced upscale lounge with let-loose weekend escape. Sparrow’s patio leans into sweeping Fort Lauderdale views, coastal color, and fresh cocktails, while the indoor lounge draws from 1950s and 1960s American modernism with a nostalgic but contemporary feel. That mix gives the venue personality from every angle.
The drinks were a major highlight. The bartenders showed nothing but love, serving cocktails that were smooth, balanced, and built for the setting. This was not a “grab a drink and stand around” kind of night. It was the kind of rooftop experience where the glass in your hand, the music in the air, and the skyline in front of you all felt like part of the same production.
The DJs kept that production moving. DJ Brooke Brazelton, DJ Joy and DJ Phro each brought their own flavor, building the night without forcing it. The music gave the crowd room to mingle, move, and soak in the scenery while still keeping the pulse alive as the evening rolled on.
Food-wise, sushi appeared to be the main focus during the event. Due to an allergy, I wasn’t able to try it myself, but my wife did and enjoyed what she had. Her only wish was that there had been a little more variety available for guests who wanted something beyond sushi. Sparrow’s regular offerings include creative, shareable small bites with a coastal Florida twist, so it would have been fun to see more of that range represented during the event.
Still, the night hit where it mattered most. Between the rooftop breeze, the strong cocktails, the attractive crowd, the DJs, and those sweeping Fort Lauderdale views, Sparrow Soars to New Heights lived up to its name. It felt like the kind of night that reminds you why rooftop venues work so well in South Florida when they are done right.
Sparrow Rooftop is also clearly leaning into its nightlife identity, with its social channels highlighting retro vibes, urban views, fresh cocktails, elevated bites, and a steady event-driven energy. The venue currently promotes itself as a cocktail lounge at The Dalmar with 25K followers on Instagram and regular weekend hours that stretch late into the night.
Overall, the ambiance, drinks, music, and skyline made this a standout Fort Lauderdale experience. For anyone looking for a rooftop night out with style, energy, and a little altitude, Sparrow Rooftop is absolutely worth checking out.
And yes, fellas, let’s just say the views were not limited to the skyline.

Luli Fama celebrates its Paradise Found Cruise ’27 swimwear and resortwear collection with a luxury Miami launch at its Dadeland Mall boutique.
August 20, 2026
Miami swimwear favorite Luli Fama is stepping into Cruise ’27 with Paradise Found, a new swimwear and resortwear collection inspired by tropical escapes, exotic prints and effortless vacation glamour.
South Florida Insider has already taken a closer look at the Luli Fama Paradise Found collection, and it feels made for Miami.
The new Cruise ’27 collection combines the bold, body-confident swimwear Luli Fama is known for with elevated resort pieces designed to move effortlessly from the beach and pool to cocktails and dinner.
On Thursday, August 20, Luli Fama will celebrate Paradise Found with an exclusive evening at its newest Dadeland Mall boutique in Miami, complete with fashion, light bites, personalized surprises, and a luxe espresso martini bar.
Inside Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 Collection
Paradise Found is inspired by the feeling of discovering a hidden tropical retreat.
Think lush landscapes, warm golden hour light, exotic patterns, and silhouettes made for somewhere beautiful.
The collection features Luli Fama signatures, including flattering ruched details, seamless construction, adjustable fits, and statement swimwear, alongside an expanded selection of resortwear.
We especially love the pieces that blur the line between swim and ready-to-wear.
Flowing dresses, sleek coverups, and body-skimming silhouettes make it easy to transition from a sun-drenched afternoon to an evening out without losing that relaxed resort feeling.
It is sensual, polished, and unmistakably Miami.
Luli Fama Brings Luxury Resort Style to Miami
There is a reason Paradise Found feels so natural in South Florida.
In Miami, resortwear is not reserved for vacation.
A swimsuit can become part of an outfit. A coverup can take you to lunch. A flowing resort dress can carry you from an afternoon by the water straight into cocktails and dinner.
Luli Fama has always understood that lifestyle.
Paradise Found takes it a step further, creating a Cruise ’27 wardrobe that feels as appropriate for a tropical getaway as it does for a weekend in Miami.
The campaign captures that mood beautifully, pairing the collection with palms, lush greenery, tropical architecture and the kind of sun soaked setting that makes you want to extend your vacation indefinitely.
Paradise Found Comes to Luli Fama at Dadeland Mall
Luli Fama will bring the world of Paradise Found to life on Thursday, August 20 from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM at its newest boutique at Dadeland Mall in Miami.
The intimate celebration will bring together invited guests, influencers, celebrities and media for an early look at Cruise ’27.
Luli Fama is also dressing invited guests in pieces from the brand, allowing the new collection to be experienced the way it was designed to be worn: in motion, styled and out for the evening.
Luli After Hours Espresso Martini Bar
Fashion is only part of the experience.
For the Paradise Found celebration, Luli Fama is introducing Luli After Hours, an Espresso Martini Bar inspired by the glamour of the collection.
Guests will be able to sip three specialty espresso martinis created for the evening.
The Luli Babe puts a polished spin on the classic espresso martini, while Golden Hour pairs salted caramel with edible gold shimmer. Miami After Dark takes a richer approach with chocolate hazelnut and a cocoa dust finish.
Along with cocktails, guests can expect light bites, curated details and a special personalized surprise.
The result feels less like a traditional retail event and more like checking into a private resort for the evening.
A Miami Swimwear Brand Celebrates at Home
For a brand with such a strong connection to South Florida, launching Paradise Found in Miami feels especially fitting.
Luli Fama has built its identity around colorful, confident swimwear and resort fashion with a distinctly tropical point of view.
Paradise Found carries that identity into Cruise ’27 while giving it a more elevated, escapist mood.
And with Luli Fama’s newest boutique now at Dadeland Mall, Miami shoppers have another destination to experience the brand in person.
After getting our own closer look at Luli Fama’s Paradise Found Cruise ’27 collection, we can safely say the name fits.
Paradise has officially been found, and this time, it is in Miami.
