From the red carpet at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival to a full celebration back at the lounge, EMPIRE tells the story of how a simple idea grew into a thriving community at Empire Social Lounge in the Las Olas and Brickell districts of South Florida.

Smoke & Rosé – A Galentine’s Affair at Empire Social Lounge – Las Olas, Wednesday, February 11th. Open to the public, this women-focused evening invites guests to come solo, with friends, or with a date to enjoy guided cigar conversations, themed cocktails, beautiful photo moments, and a special complimentary cigar and signature cocktail for women guests, while supplies last.

February at Empire Social Lounge is packed with signature experiences—from Dominican Night with live music and a destination giveaway to Smoke & Rosé, hands-on mixology classes, and our official film-festival celebrations.

EMPIRE, the documentary, has been officially selected for the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival 2026. Join us as we bring this story to the big screen at Savor Cinema and come celebrate with our community at the Red Carpet After-Party.

New Year’s Eve has long been a moment for reflection and celebration. Discover how cigar culture honors the transition into a new year — and how Empire Social Lounge sets the stage for unforgettable NYE experiences in South Florida.

Empire After Dark brings high-energy nightlife to Las Olas with DJs, premium cigars, bottle specials, and select Saturday parties. Join us 12/13 and 12/27.
