Hollywood Broadwalk Party Bus Guide - Beach Bars, Hard Rock & More (2026)

Hollywood, Florida sits directly south of Fort Lauderdale and offers three distinct nightlife experiences: the Hollywood Beach Broadwalk, the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and the Young Circle Arts District. A party bus from Fort Lauderdale connects all three - or combines any of them with Las Olas and downtown Fort Lauderdale for a multi-city night.

The Hollywood Beach Broadwalk

The Broadwalk is a 2.5-mile pedestrian path along the oceanfront lined with restaurants, bars, live music venues, and hotels. It is more casual and walkable than Fort Lauderdale Beach - less resort-heavy, more neighborhood feel. Party bus groups headed to the Broadwalk park at the Johnson Street municipal lot and walk the strip. Popular stops include Margaritaville Hollywood Beach Resort, GG's Waterfront, and the cluster of bars around Johnson Street. The Broadwalk is best as an early-evening or sunset stop before the group transitions to the Hard Rock or heads north to Fort Lauderdale.

Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino

The Hard Rock is the single most-requested party bus destination in South Florida. The guitar-shaped tower is a landmark. The property has a massive gaming floor, seven restaurants, a pool complex, and Hard Rock Live (7,000-seat concert venue). Casino night buses typically run 5–6 hours: pickup, pre-party on the bus, dinner at a casino restaurant, gaming, return. The bus eliminates DUI risk on the I-95/Stirling Road corridor - a well-known enforcement area.

Young Circle Arts District

Downtown Hollywood centers on Young Circle - the roundabout where Hollywood Boulevard meets US-1. The ArtsPark hosts outdoor concerts and food truck events. Surrounding blocks have craft bars, Latin restaurants, and live music venues. It is more eclectic than Las Olas. Party bus groups doing Young Circle typically combine it with one other stop - dinner at Young Circle, then the Hard Rock or north to Fort Lauderdale for late-night.

Combined Routes

• Fort Lauderdale + Hard Rock: Dinner on Las Olas → casino at Hard Rock (6–7 hours)
• Broadwalk + Fort Lauderdale: Sunset drinks on the Broadwalk → Las Olas bar crawl (5–6 hours)
• Full Hollywood Night: Young Circle dinner → Hard Rock gaming → late-night return (5–6 hours)
• Beach Triple: Fort Lauderdale Beach → Hollywood Broadwalk → Hard Rock (7–8 hours)

Getting There

Hollywood is 15 minutes south of downtown Fort Lauderdale via I-95 or US-1. The Hard Rock is right off I-95 at Stirling Road. The Broadwalk is on A1A. Party bus groups from Fort Lauderdale Beach reach the Broadwalk in about 20 minutes along A1A - a scenic coastal route.
