Pier 66 Fort Lauderdale Florida

The history of Pier Sixty-Six and its former owners are credited with helping attract tourists to Broward County.

 

 

The Phillips Petroleum Company tested a new logo and a new gas station architectural style and one of the first locations was in Fort Lauderdale at Pier 66. It began as a yacht marina with a fueling dock, boat service facility and car service station in 1956. The Pier 66 Restaurant and Lounge was completed in 1957. Well known for the rotating lounge on top of the 17-story hotel tower to add even more rooms a few years later.
