Cruisers lounge is a Great nonjudgmental gathering place for LGBTQ and Allies, Clean Comfortable and very attractive decor, lounge, show room, garden event area, patio bar & fine dining restaurant, also bar menu and a Keen eye for details as they are always changing and striving to make every experience a cut above the last.
There is always a Drag Show/Karaoke/Drag Bingo/ Piano/Live Singer/Trivia/LRC/ Dancing/Tea dance/Long Happy Hour/or Fun Event going on, Definitely a must see and enjoy for SW Florida!

This may very well be THE nicest restaurant, bar, outdoor courtyard bar, and show venue in Cape Coral! Open and inclusive of ALL people.
Featuring a beautiful outdoor courtyard PLUS a wedding & party venue, out back, this gem has been completely reimagined and redesigned with an artistic flair unlike anything seen in other local venues. The outdoor areas are surrounded by palm trees, up-lighting, fountains, tables with umbrellas, lounge areas, and a granite bar.
Saturday nights, they feature an amazing vocalist in the courtyard bar, followed by the indoor drag show, on the main stage, with Kings & Queens, of the caliber you’d expect to see in Miami or Key West!
The restaurant, BLEW, is upscale, in dining and presentation, with prices that are far below expected. The service is top notch and Chef Sterling is on point, with his culinary creations.
The large, indoor Show Bar hosts: Trivia, Drag Queen BINGO, Line Dancing, Karaoke, Free Sunday Buffet, Tea Dances, and of course, the Saturday Night Drag Show!
Put this one on your “MUST VISIT” list!!

I moved here almost 6 months at the time and my 24 yr old daughter visited from Minnesota, where we're from and very familiar with drag brunches and shows so we showed up for bingo. As soon as we walked through the door we were welcomed, never had and negative feelings from management or employees and I've been back 10+ times for the friendliness and joy being around others that accept me too.

As far as gay bars go, definitely a way better vibe than normal. Well lit and cozy instead of dark and seedy.
Went in for an event, the tuesday line dance. Margs were cheap but mediocre (premade huge jug, think applebees dollar margs) walking tacos were nice and... free! which was a huge surprise.
The bartender was a total sweetheart 10/10. Line dance dude taught 1 song and then straight up dipped at like 7:45 (an hour and 15 mins early than posted time) he did mention the "regular" line dance crowd was all out of town? still super disappointing to just kinda get left with the most generic country playlist and no lessons.
We did end up bailing at around 9 so didn't get to see if the place devolved into regular "gay bar" style late night but what we were there for (minus the ??? line dance lesson event) was actually very enjoyable and a really pleasant surprise from normal gay bar vibes.

Horrible bartenders, hopefully you aren't there anytime near a shift change. The owner is not welcoming to non-regulars. We visited from Tampa. He made my group aware he was the owner.

They need to get rid of that Calcast thing that has taken up residence here on a monthly basis. Six people from that group, including Darby, recently accused several lone guys in the area, four of them riding through on bicycle, of involvement in terrorist activities and have threatened to shoot the guys. Calcast has worsened tremendously over the past year.
