Overview

Rare opportunity to acquire a fully built-out, high-volume bar and nightlife venue in the epicenter of Fort Lauderdale’s most famous liquor and entertainment district.

Himmarshee is one of Florida’s only true 5AM open-container nightlife corridors — a heavy alcohol-driven, late-night street environment packed with continuous pedestrian traffic, nightclub energy, and year-round tourism. This is a proven party destination for Spring Break, weekend nightlife, and special events.

This high-profile end-cap venue sits directly in the center of the action. The space is purpose-built for high-volume alcohol sales, DJ-driven nightlife, and late-night operations. Ownership has ceased operations to focus on other ventures, creating a clean opportunity for a new operator to step in immediately ahead of peak seasonal demand.
