Our Story
Four Decades of Opening Doors
Since 1974, we've served as a hub for Ft. Lauderdale's thriving business and social community. Our diverse membership is comprised of some of Broward's top business and civic leaders in the legal, financial, media, real estate and hospitality industries.
Our Members play a big role in connecting Members to one another and to the greater downtown Ft. Lauderdale community through engaging member gatherings centered around professional development, networking, community service, food and wine, entrepreneurism, women in business, the LGBT community and diversity and inclusion.
Civic Engagement and Philanthropy
Tower Club Members believe in our community. We give back through partnerships with multiple non-profit organizations, and the Club plays host to many of the city's top leaders and changemakers working to revitalize downtown neighborhoods and make Fort Lauderdale a city for the next generation.
Diversity and Inclusion
We take pride in being a home to a diverse community. Our Club has a robust LGBT membership who come together at Club Mod, Tower Club's inclusive space for members to relax, socialize, meet new friends. In June, we celebrate Pride month with a Bougie Drag Brunch, fit for the finest of queens in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
Meet Chef Marvin
El Salvador-born executive chef Marvin Solis presents an evolving menu of locally sourced, internationally inspired dishes designed to excite and inspire.
Cooking Demos
Every quarter, Chef Marvin curates a themed four-course meal and walks members through an entire demonstration. Sit back, relax and watch the action as Marvin and his team educate and entertain with tutorials on creating unique and authentic meals members can make at home.
Communal Table
Gather around the table for handcrafted cocktails and a fresh, innovative menu. Our Communal Table is just right for after-work hors d’oeuvres with friends or dinner with your family.
Uncorked
The Uncorked wine experience offers Members the opportunity to expand their wine knowledge and their network. Focusing on a different varietal or region every month, Members gather to celebrate the art of winemaking (and tasting, of course).
