Really nice upper scale bar/ lounge. There is a large area to host private parties. I have been here twice once right when happy hour started and once later in the night. Due to the design of the bars it can be a bit difficult to walk around when it it is really crowded.

Awesome club, we try to go as much as possible. Music is always good. Always go VIP. Place has adequate security. Parking garage across the street with ample parking. If you are vacationing in fort Lauderdale. Definitely a spot worth visiting

Where do I even start. This freaking place. If you go on spring break to laudy then you NEED to get to Sway. Ive never felt so disgusted yet had so much fun at the same time and I love it. I want to find my future wife here one day. The bottle service is wayyyyy too overpriced but if you cant afford it then you dont even deserve to be let inside. Ball out and spend your whole night here. You wont remember your night but you also wont regret it one bit

We went on a whim to this place. We went on I think ladies night? So no cover for us and free drinks all night. We were warned by the bouncer to hold on to our phones and wallets as they would get stolen.. didn’t have any close calls with that, but we were staying aware of our stuff all night. Also they blow huge fog machines onto the dance floor every now and then that is so thick that you could definitely lose your friends, so stay close But overall, music was good and we had a fun time!

Candy man the promoter is a king. If you wanna have the best night of your life come to this nightclub. They’ll ban your ex if you hate him so it’s always great vibes. You’ll definitely get roofied but you’ll definitely have fun. 10/10. Recommend great staff they’re all hot.

Disappointed. Embarrassed. Harassed. I bought two shots from one of the girls on the floor paid her took my shots and when I went to put shot tubes back I was accused of stealing 5 shots....?!? She was pretty intoxicated which is very unprofessional and wrongly accused me of theft and she called security. Her and the security demanded I give them money for something I didn’t do. Security then wrongfully detained me and shoved me around..I was embarrassed for in front of everyone for something I didn’t do. Thanks to the security for being so rough and harsh for no reason now my shoulder is messed up and not doing so well. This ruined my vacation and anniversary with my girlfriend as now my shoulder is messed up and I’m in pain. I was a good paying/tipping customer and you may have just lost me as one.

I purchased 1 bud light for $6 and ended up with a $70 charge to my card, after notifying the bartender before I left he said “well I don’t know what you expect me to do about that”. They let way too many people in and it was hard to move around. My friends also were charged over 3x what they actually bought. Not worth the risk.

They also stole my cell phone from the crowd while we were dancing. Theres a gang that steals cell phones and a wallet inside. I was in shock !! I cant believe until now that I was robbed inside !!!

If I could give this nightclub zero stars I would. Never order bottle service at this club. Every time we dealt with this club it was the most unprofessional business I have ever experienced.

Black guy at the front was prejudice, said I needed dress shoes, but luckily I had some in my car. So I go put the shoes on, and come back to the entrance, then he says my dress shoes has to be low cut and said I can’t go in with a rude attitude. I asked him “what specific shoes should I wear? He then just ignored me and I couldn’t go in.

Terrible club came on valentine day it smelled like smoke and floors sticky and people were standing stuck like glue together not moving.. I am not a old person I paid 20$ to experience this I thought they had entertainment in the club like there pictures they didn’t.. I now know not to come to this club it shouldn’t be called a club should be called a drug house.

I always have a great time at SWAY! Highly recommend Jennifer for a bottle server, she’s very attentive, beautiful and friendly. For bartender I’d recommend you going to Taylor she works at the frozay bar and she’s always very friendly and makes the best shots! Get there before 12 for free entry after I think it’s $20 at the door. Overall, one of my favorite places to go.

Place was absolutely amazing. $20 stop charge, drinks are free till 12. Music was bumpin, liquor was cold and the women were hot. Highly recommend this one folks.

Review №19

Let me start with this place was pretty fun, and the drink prices were comparable to most clubs.A big reason I am giving this place 5 stars is because I lost my phone while doing the worm, was lucky enough someone turned it in, and then the club staff was nice enough to charge my phone for me!

This place was our second stop to post wedding day celebrations and it was so much fun!!!!! Amazing atmosphere and DJ! We did not stop dancing. Music selections were a great mix of everything from hip hop to Latin. Fresh oxygen pumped into the place kept us going lol. From the dancers on the risers to the bartenders it was definitely entertaining and a very hype atmosphere you dont want to miss this stop. Thank you Mari for taking us to Sway!!!!! We will be back next time were in Florida.

Stolen phone. Stolen wallet. Stolen jewelry. Only bought 2 drinks and made sure they stayed in our hands. Both of us quickly do not remember the rest of the night and our bank accounts were empty. Something fishy is going on with this place.

Review №25

Absolutely horrible. Drinks are overpriced. They entice you to come in by offering free entrance before midnight. DO NOT DO IT. My phone was stolen & so was my friends. It is shady. They will start fogging up the room so you cannot see and steal your items or men will come up on you and take your items. Another person I knew there also got phone stolen same night. Not worth losing your money, precious valuables, or time. They need to shut this shady place down.

Review №26

Good nightclub in downtown Ft Lauderdale. DJ good at reading crowd and playing wide spectrum of music. I being someone that has been in industry in Ft Lauderdale, from owning a sports bar to managing several of the major nightclubs was surprised at the unprofessionalizm of the staff, especially security. Bartenders are on point with regulars, but dismiss customers they are not familiar with. How drinks are made and prices are not the same for all customers. Will recommend to other people as a must on a night out downtown.

Come here every couple times a month. Great vibes... Great music... Sticky floors. Love the staff. Dont come before 11:30 just empty and not the best music.

Review №28

LISTEN TO THE REVIEWS! If you come here your phone or other belongings will get stolen, I honestly cant believe this is such a common problem and I really wish I just listened to the reviews.. avoid this place like the plague! Also, the drinks are ridiculously expensive and the DJ completely sucked. The trippy ceiling is not worth having you stuff stolen, please dont come here!

Phone was stolen and met four other people that night who had phones stolen. Club didn’t even pick up my call to talk to me. Looked back in the reviews and this happened to many others, yet club doesn’t do anything. My guess is they are in on it.Plus the $20 cover for “free drinks” means you will get served around one an hour unless u tip $20s.the DJ was average But interrupted every other second by either screaming bloody murder or changing songs. Much better clubs/bars around the area!

Decent club. The crowd isnt the greatest but its as good as it would get in Fort Lauderdale as far as a club.

Review №32

Staff is extremely aggressive and even threatened our party at one point while we were entering the club. Staff does not value customer service whatsoever. You’re better off going to any other club nearby in my opinion.

Review №33

This place deserves zero stars. My boyfriend and I came here on a trip to Fort Lauderdale, and the bartender gave him the finger and refused to serve us. A white girl next to us asked for a drink and he instantly served her. Blatant racism. The female bartender we went to next was also rude. The staff is aggressive.

I come here every once in a while to get a break from electronic music. Place got remodeled last year, smoking inside is allowed and every time we had a table the service was good. Cheap parking garage nearby. I think Sway and Americas Backyard are the best places to dance in the area

Fun club to go dance and they have special events going on sometimes like MMA fights. You can bargain for the price of VIP too which is good because places try to hit you with outrageous prices most of the time. The ceiling is trippy.

Well I bought two bottle and got two bottles of champagne and because vip was packed and lit some of us couldn’t see but me and two people watched as the servers opening our bottles and looks like they were gona give us the three cups thinking it was for us but they walked away with our alcohol and pretty much killed half of my Jameson n my three olives along with the champagne don’t think I will go there again just shows how grimy these people are smh

Tourist trap filled with the same songs every night. They never try anything new cause dumb naive people dont know any better and keep paying. If you agree please rate it down so we can get a club that doesnt take advantage of young peoples wallets

Honestly, this nightclub provided an awful experience. The club accepted way too many people and resulted in a lot of uncomfortable shoving experiences and terrible drink service. If you’re coming for spring break, or otherwise, definitely avoid this place.

Review №50

A great establishment if you like surprise liquor in your drink, dancing to a dj that talks more than he dj’s, unsuccessfully flagging down heavily drugged bartenders that probably can’t spell the word “vodka,” sipping on water that must have gold flakes in it because it costs $5, and bumping butts with literal teenagers.

Review №55

If you want to go a club with 15 year olds, come to SWAY Nightclub. They accept high school kids to their club. $20 a person for “unlimited drinks” which consists on a drip of diluted vodka and some water. What a rip off. If you are 18 years old and over, I would suggest a different bar so you don’t accidentally dance with a 14 year old and commit a crime.

They redid this place when they changed the name and its beautiful. Its so clean and everyone is really nice. The service is great and the music is awesome. Of all the times Ive been there Ive never had any issues . One of the last few good places to go down town now a days.

Review №61

Zero rate. Yesterday night we had expirience in this club by recommendation. But expirience is very horrible. Mobile phone was stolen from my wifes small bag. It is only one month use and premium model. It is good that documents was not stolen. In about 40 minutes after entrance it was first attempt from robbers only opened bag but not successfully at about 2.40AM finally stolen. Security not help at all. When they went out outside at about 4AM they didnt permit to entrance back and didnt help for search and check Camera if they have cameras :((((. My friends told me that it is not first time in this club for such case. How is face control and cameras working there for expensive entrance fee and price inside not clear. Club was full crowded, drinks are expensive no services for such prices. Not secured!!!!Not suggested for any tourists it is not safe place! We have lost not only expensive mobile without assurance :((( but also all vacation photos. Robbers there professionals, and not first day working there, in 5 minutes mobile was out of service, even no possibility to turn it off without password and battery could not be pulled out. Only Sim card should be pulled out by tool. Security told that not understand and will contact today but no eny feedback.Please Reed additional comments below for example Melissa Sacks. Not only our case there. And club not answering for such Cases.

Review №62

Horrible experience. After getting VIP with two bottles for a friends birthday, we were told that the card wasn’t working and they needed to charge it again. Upon looking at our online banking, we could CLEARLY see they charged the card and it was taken from the bank. When we showed them the transaction, suddenly they say they confused us with another table. The bartender for the VIP is a joke and she was rude! You are allowed 8 guests for 2 bottles. When we asked for wristbands to allow three friends to make our party of 5, a party of 8, they rolled their eyes at us and asked if we wanted another bottle. When we politely declined, mid-sentence, she walked away from us. I guess you’re only valuable to them before you buy the bottle. After the money is spent, all customer service goes out the door. We drove from WPB to go here. They’ll never get my business again.

Most helpful staff from any nightclub I have ever been!I lost my clutch on Saturday night, it had my phone and my drivers license. The next day my friend helped me contact them and thru a chat service, they said their office were open during the week from 11 am to 3pm. We gave them the clutch description and it matched! And today, Monday, when I went to pick it up, not only everything was in there, but also they had my phone charging! There were other lost phones and they were charging them too. Very nice staff and helpful.And our night out there was also very fun too!! Great music and it was crazy packed. It was pscked enough were you can get hyped from the energy and still damce with your friemds comfortably. It is our friends to go to place and will for sure come back!!

Review №72

After spending 600 plus gratuity for 2 bottles and VIP, I was promised a really good seating arrangment. They stuck us in the back of the club in a corner and after asking for our money back since we werent comfortable with the placement, we were told there was no refunds so we were stuck with it and barely finished the bottles and left. The bouncers were also harassing us coming in and out if the VIP area even though we had the credentials to enter. Never spending a penny at this poorly managed establishment

I wish I could give less than one star. The club is alright but theres either no one in the club or too many people. The worst part of this place is the bartenders They are so rude. Ive never been treated so rudely anywhere ever. The drinks arent even good. Last night I waited for a drink and the bartender didnt even acknowledge me, even when someone else pointed me out. He waved his hand and walked away. Im never going to this place again because I honestly never have a good time there anyway.

Review №93

The staff sucks. I had one woman pull a door open while I was standing against it waiting outside of the bathroom making me spill my drink. Trying to get a drink is ridiculous. One guy was on his phone... while I was holding up $40 he literally looked me dead in the eye then back at his phone. This isnt the first time Ive been ignored. Never going back.
