Wreck Bar & Lounge, Fort Lauderdale
The Wreck Bar & Lounge is nestled within the iconic B Ocean Resort, formerly known as the Sheraton Yankee Clipper Hotel in Fort Lauderdale. Built in the 1950s, the hotel itself is an architectural marvel, designed to mirror the grandeur of a large ship, a fitting homage to its coastal location right on the stunning Fort Lauderdale Beach. This unique setting provides the perfect backdrop for the Wreck Bar & Lounge, a venue that has captivated locals and tourists with its distinctive charm and entertainment offerings.
The interior of the Wreck Bar is a marvel of nautical design, taking inspiration from a shipwrecked Spanish Galleon. The space is adorned with thematic aquariums and briny décor, creating an immersive underwater-like experience. A standout feature of the bar is its large portholes that offer a view into the hotel's pool, allowing guests to gaze at the aquatic wonders from the comfort of their seats.
The Wreck Bar is perhaps best known for its mesmerizing "Underwater Dancing Mermaids" show, a unique entertainment offering that sets it apart from other venues in the area.

MeduSirena, along with her "AquatiCrew," has continued to enchant guests through a variety of themed performances, showcasing a different and more unusual side of Florida's aquatic species.
In addition to the visual spectacle, the Wreck Bar & Lounge offers a pleasing auditory experience with cool music that complements the relaxed, yet lively atmosphere.
