9 Best Bars near Captiva

“IZZY! One of the best bartenders we’ve ever had - a pleasure to be with. Service - FANTASTIC. Conversation - like a FRIEND. Food was wonderful, best on the island. We had the best time at trivia and came back again. Also, a beautifully decorated restaurant and a wonderful view. Thank you IZZY, we probably would’ve come back for just the amazing food and cocktails but you definitely made it an easy decision with the amazing customer service and experience - not just another meal on vacation. Thank you!“

“Ok, why are you not eating here right now. We have been to South Seas and Harborside many times in the past. This place has changed so much since we’ve been here last. Harborside is amazing. We are accustomed to really good Italian food in the NYC area and dare I say this place compares. Pasta great, seafood great, steak great. Drinks were good too. Don’t forget dessert; the homemade tiramisu was light and a delicious way to end the meal (see photo below for the end result).

Shoutout to our amazing servers Knox and Kimberly. This crew was acres.

While some people may think the food is expensive, the price matched the value. Don’t skip this place.“

“My favorite restaurant - fresh food and wonderful staff.“

“Coconuts is back and so good! We have been coming to Casa Ybel for over 25 years. We were so glad to have Coconuts back after the hurricane. The drinks, food and service were great! We loved how they now come around to you at the pool to see if you’d like any food or drink-very convenient! And so nice that they deliver right to you by the pool!“

“We will absolutely be back! Our ride was perfect, & cool in the shade of the Tiki Bar with a great breeze. Nick played great music & made sure we paused to see some dolphins. He took us to a great restaurant along the water & made sure we had everything for our ride. You should absolutely experience this if you’re in the area!“

“Great burgers & hot dogs, even better people. Inside now open with great a/c.“

“Huge shoutout to the KIND and HONEST TEAM at Doc Fords in Sanibel! 🙌 We’ve been going there for many years and their food is always delicious-one of our favorite spots for a reason. We had dinner there Sunday and a couple of days later I realized my wallet was missing. I called in hoping for the best, and to my surprise (and relief!) they had it safe and sound- with EVERYTHING still inside! So very grateful for people who do the right thing. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience! 💙 Annette Nilio“

“The servers we had last night at Froggy’s were amazing! We showed up on a busy Friday night with a party of 16, no open tables and they opened the patio for us. We had Tiffany and Audi as our servers and I’ve never had such attentive and fast service. Our party even grew 9 additional people and nothing slowed our service. We tried 5 pizzas-each one was awesome. Everything we ate came out quickly and was delicious. Bonus—the live music for the evening was rocking! Highly recommend!“
