Empire After Dark
Fort Lauderdale’s Elevated Nightlife Experience
Where cigars, cocktails, and late-night energy come together.
When the sun sets over downtown Fort Lauderdale, a different kind of energy rises inside Empire Social Lounge Las Olas. Select Saturdays throughout the year, the lounge transforms into Empire After Dark — an elevated nightlife experience designed for those who want more than a traditional night out.
Empire After Dark blends the sophistication of a premium cigar lounge with the excitement of a late-night social scene. Guests can expect a dynamic atmosphere featuring live DJ entertainment, bottle specials starting at $300, world-class cigars, crafted cocktails, and the unmistakable ambiance that sets Empire apart.
While table minimums apply for these special evenings, the intention is clear: to create a polished, high-energy environment where guests can enjoy cigars, music, conversation, and culture in a beautifully refined space — all without leaving Fort Lauderdale.
It’s a fresh addition to the local nightlife landscape, offering an alternative to crowded bars and clubs. Instead, Empire After Dark delivers a curated atmosphere where style meets comfort, and where the standards of hospitality remain unmistakably Empire: warm, attentive, and rooted in luxury.
Whether it’s a celebration, a night out with friends, or simply the desire to unwind in a place that feels both vibrant and elevated, Empire After Dark invites the community to experience Fort Lauderdale nightlife from a more refined perspective.
December After Dark Dates
Empire Social Lounge Las Olas will host two After Dark events this month:
Saturday, December 13
Saturday, December 27
Each event brings its own energy, its own crowd, and its own opportunity to experience Empire in a whole new light.
From locals seeking a refined late-night destination to visitors exploring South Florida’s luxury cigar lounges, Empire After Dark is fast becoming one of the most exciting after-hours experiences in the region — without ever losing the charm, culture, and craftsmanship that define Empire Social Lounge.
Make your reservation, gather your friends, and step inside the glow of Empire After Dark.
Because nightlife in Fort Lauderdale just found its signature upgrade.
