Located in the bustling downtown business district near the Riverfront at 333 E Las Olas Blvd., YOLO provides a romantic ambience coupled with a trendy atmosphere. Bamboo style trees frame the outside patio. Earth tone pillows decorate the dark wicker furniture. White candles adorn the tables, while a red tent drapes over the expansive outdoor patio. The fire pit offers warmth and relaxation on a brisk South Florida night. Overall, the atmosphere provides a simple, upscale, and elegant environment.
The mood is set; get ready to party. The O Lounge, adjacent to YOLO hosts a live DJ Wednesday thru Saturday nights playing a variety of music genres. Every Wednesday night from 7-10pm, ladies enter cover free and drink for free. Don’t even think about going anywhere else Friday and Saturday night. “YOLO is the place to see and be seen”, says Michelle Chandler, a local resident and frequent patron.
YOLO has a generous drink menu with an interesting selection of drinks like: The Devil’s Hammer which has a suggested limit of three for obvious reasons mixes tequila, bourbon, agave nectar, mint leaves, orange, and lime. Other drink names like, Pleasure & Pagne and Dirty Blond show the sense of humor of the place. Try a Martini Flight: choose three of the specialty drinks to sample, served in a martini tree.
