27 Best Bars near Estero

“Having visited several Tommy Bahama Restaurant locations across the country, I approached the Estero outpost with familiar expectations—and found it delivered the brand’s signature blend of relaxed sophistication and dependable quality. On a recent lunch with friends, the restaurant’s inviting setting and attentive service set an easy, convivial tone from the outset.

The menu performs exactly as one hopes for midday dining: fresh, flavorful, and consistently well executed. As with other locations, the lunch offerings shine, providing satisfying yet unfussy dishes well suited to a casual coastal afternoon.

If there is a drawback, it lies in the seating layout. The space feels notably tight, particularly during peak hours, which can make the bustling dining room feel compressed. Still, the lively energy contributes to its charm, and the addition of live music is a welcome touch that enhances the island-inspired ambiance.

For a relaxed, enjoyable lunch with solid cuisine and prime people-watching, Tommy Bahama in Estero remains a reliable and appealing choice.“

“Food was great, service was incredible and the price was surprisingly affordable. Sorry it took us so long to finally stop and give you a try.“

“Ford’s Garage in Estero delivers exactly what its automotive-themed concept promises: a lively, casual setting suited for easygoing gatherings rather than culinary exploration. On a recent visit for dinner with family, we chose the outdoor seating on a pleasant evening—an enjoyable vantage point that complements the restaurant’s industrial décor and relaxed, family-friendly vibe. The ambiance feels on-brand and approachable, making it a comfortable choice for groups seeking an unfussy night out. Service was friendly and well-intentioned, but our server appeared responsible for too many tables, leading to noticeable gaps in attention and timing. While never discourteous, the pacing suffered enough to interrupt the flow of the meal. The food, consistent with prior visits, was solid but unremarkable. My burger, positioned on the menu as a premium offering, arrived as a modest quarter-pound patty on a brioche bun. It was competently prepared, yet fell short of the heft and distinction implied by its price point, leaving the value proposition wanting. Ford’s Garage works best as a convenient, crowd-pleasing stop for families or larger groups looking for a quick, casual bite. Those seeking a memorable or destination-worthy dining experience may want to look elsewhere.“

“Hello, I would like to give my highest review on the service we received on 4-5-25. We had tickets to the Mercy Me concert that evening and had made reservations prior to the event. Gabi M was an excellent server. She made our first visit to Breakaway Sports Pub very satisfying. She was very friendly and very professional. Our food was delicious. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much.“

“The best pizza in Estero. There is so much more to this restaurant than our favorite pizza and wings… Everyone is always happy, helpful and welcoming. The owners are the kindest people and we’ve loved getting to know them. We’ve been coming in for years and plan on many, many more. The staff goes the extra mile for our kids every time we’re in. Tony’s is our go to spot, never disappoints ❤️“

“As a Google Local Guide Level 7 with over 4.8 million views, I’ve been to a lot of spots—and the World Famous Cigar Bar in downtown Fort Myers is one I know well.
I used to live in Fort Myers for 6 years, and living downtown meant this place was a regular stop for me. It’s connected to Cigar Bar Live, so you’ve got live bands and a great bar scene right next door, which makes the whole setup really fun.
What really makes it stand out is the vibe—dim lighting, cozy chairs and couches, and a relaxed atmosphere that feels welcoming every time you walk in. They also have a humidor on-site with cigars, and you can actually smoke inside, which adds to the classic cigar lounge feel.
Courtni is honestly one of the best bartenders in downtown Fort Myers. She’s knowledgeable, kind, and has that down-to-earth Southern charm that makes everyone feel like family. You can tell she has a ton of regulars for a reason.
Great atmosphere, great people, and a staple spot downtown.“

“Love this place always!!! Our stop on the way to the beach and never disappoints🤍🤍“
