Before the Party
Make an evening of it in Wilton Manors. The best approach is to start with dinner and cocktails along Wilton Drive before moving to Eagle for the main event.
- DrYnk Bar & Lounge – At 2255 Wilton Drive, a more sophisticated start to the night, with carefully made cocktails and a leafy rear courtyard.
- Scandals Saloon – At 3073 NE 6th Avenue, a gay country-western bar with a large patio, line dancing and a very different crowd from the circuit scene.
- The West End Lounge – At 2100 Wilton Drive, a stylish cocktail lounge with a more intimate, supper-club atmosphere.
- The Well – At 2426 Wilton Drive, a convenient choice for dinner and drinks before the music gets louder.
Where to Stay
For BRÜT, staying in Wilton Manors makes more sense than booking a beachfront hotel. You can enjoy the neighbourhood’s gay bars, restaurants and daytime pool scene without depending on taxis every evening.
We’ve selected four smaller properties with strong guest reviews, three within Wilton Manors itself and one waterfront alternative for visitors extending their stay.
- Inn On The Drive – Our first choice for convenience. An adults-only gay guesthouse just off Wilton Drive, with a tropical pool area, contemporary rooms and a relaxed social atmosphere. Ideal for walking to Eagle and returning without arranging transport.
- CASA HERMÈS Wilton Manor – An intimate, upscale gay guesthouse with elegant interiors, a heated saltwater pool, Jacuzzi and landscaped outdoor spaces. Particularly suited to couples seeking a more luxurious stay close to the bars.
- The Cabanas Guesthouse & Spa – A men-only, clothing-optional resort with a heated saltwater pool, spa treatments and a sociable tropical setting. A good option for combining BRÜT with a few relaxing days in the sun.
- Villa Venezia – A quieter boutique hotel overlooking a Fort Lauderdale canal, with spacious accommodation, a swimming pool and attractive waterside grounds. Best for visitors wanting to explore Las Olas and the beach as well as Wilton Manors. Take a taxi to the party.
Getting to BRÜT
- From Fort Lauderdale Beach, allow approximately 15–25 minutes by car, depending on traffic.
- From Las Olas Boulevard, Uber or Lyft is generally the simplest option.
- From Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport, Wilton Manors is typically around a 20–30-minute drive.
- If you’re staying on or near Wilton Drive, most of the neighbourhood’s nightlife is accessible on foot.
Planning Your Visit

- Check the dress requirements if you intend to enter CODE Bar. Leather and fetish clothing are particularly appropriate for this edition.
