12 Best Dive Bars near Cape Coral

“Things are getting worse in almost all Cape restaurants & bars. But the Dive is doing exactly that - taking "The Dive". Bartender was so bad that we had a beer apiece after he noticed us sitting at the small outside bar. We were so unhappy that we decided to cash out and leave (mind you, the one beer that we ordered from him) and he asked if we had a tab. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔 what are you on? Tolerance can only be applied for a certain amount of time and then it runs out; oh, and then people go to other places. That would be us.“

“We hosted our 20 year high school reunion at Nice Guys and they were incredible! They communicated everything so clearly and were great to work with. On the night of the event they accommodated my group so well. The servers were fantastic! Tieryn (the event coordinator) was top tier. Thank you so much for an amazing time, Nice Guys!“

“Great food. Sara was the best“

“The Dek Bar is a fantastic spot to grab some drinks and enjoy excellent bar food! It has that perfect dive bar vibe—laid-back, fun, and full of energy. When we visited, the place was definitely happening and packed, but the vibe was so welcoming and lively, we didn’t mind at all.

The bartenders were awesome—super friendly, attentive, and fast despite the crowd. What really impressed us was the food. For a dive bar, the quality was way above expectations! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and hit the spot.

If you’re in Cape Coral, I’d absolutely recommend stopping by. Whether you’re looking for a casual drink or a great bite to eat in a fun atmosphere, this is the place to be. We’ll definitely be back! Five stars all the way!“

“A locals hidden gem, the Half Shell never fails to disappoint. The tiny kitchen cranks out good food quick. There are food specials ever day and all day happy hour drink specials. The conversation around the bar is always entertaining to say the least. A dive bar that most anyone can feel comfortable in.“

“Cheers Bar ! This is a fantastic spot to stop at on the way on or off the beach .“

“Amy is the best. Smoking hot and a great pourer“

“Went there to play pool and have a few cocktails and beers, but the table was being used for bingo. So, we played bingo. Their bingo is free but they give away prizes. Their drink happy hour is great. They have Stoli.

Parking: Spots out front are plentiful, but go quickly. There's also parking in back.“

“We’re from Alaska. Been here for over a week and needed to do some serious laundry, three kiddos will do that! The lady was super nice and good company all around. We talked about Florida and Alaska, love talking to locals of the area. Big washers and dryers, great prices. Thanks again!!“

“Great place on the water TJ our waiter was awesome!! I would visit again!! 😎“

“Dive bar very cool in an historic building. They do allow smoking, but nobody was on a Saturday night. Lots of millennials but some boomers too. Good prices, nice bartenders working as a team. We will definitely go back next time we are in fort Myers.“

“I had such a great experience at this sports grill! The atmosphere was fun and welcoming, with plenty of TVs to catch all the games. The food was the real highlight though—especially the wings. They were cooked perfectly, crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. I tried a couple of different sauces and every single one was spot on.

The rest of the menu was just as impressive—generous portions, fresh ingredients, and everything came out hot and delicious. Service was fast and friendly, which made the whole visit even better.

If you’re looking for a place with great food, a lively vibe, and some of the best wings around, this is definitely the spot. I’ll be back for sure!“
