Say goodbye to Quarterdeck

Longstanding Fort Lauderdale restaurant and bar, Quarterdeck, will close its Cordova Road location after more than 50 years in business. The longtime South Florida haunt, recognizable by its kitschy decor including 100 fishing mounts, deep sea diving pictures, and antique ship models, estimates it’s served more than 1.5 million dolphin sandwiches and one million full rib rack dinners over the years.

This Sunday, the iconic Quarterdeck bar and restaurant in Fort Lauderdale will be closing—but not for long. It’ll be closed hopefully for just two weeks as it moves down the street to a new home, and celebrations are planned this weekend to say goodbye to the building.
