28 Best Cocktail Bars near Fort Myers Beach

“Had the best dinner there last night! The shrimp and scallop bruschetta is to die for!“

“The waterfront atmosphere was beautiful. Our waitress Angie was very accommodating by bringing water for the 2 dogs with us. She was very friendly and helpful with inquiring about certain ingredients in the food. (My friend has allergies). I had the shrimp scampi and it was delicious. The shrimp were cooked perfectly. My friend was totally satisfied with her fish dinner too. I highly recommend this dining experience. Sean the manager, was also very friendly and accommodating.“

“Great food and service. True little gem near the beach.“

“Front of house was wonderful and super friendly. I loved Jess. I will say, kitchen needs some quality control. Food was sent out with no sauces and celery had been frozen in parts of it. It’s so simple to look at stuff before you send it to the table and goes so far for an experience.“

“This is a pretty good place for a hotel bar and restaurant. However, they are missing a couple of things. First, the drinks are overpriced by $2-$3 each (at least). $19 for an Old fashioned at a hotel bar (and another dollar for an ice ball)? The best food here is the pizza (two topping for $16) which is cheaper than one drink. This is made up by darn good service. Not exceptional, but darn good. A couple of the bartenders make great drinks and are very good. Wait staff above average but nothing you’re going to brag about. No great or normal appetizers. No chips. No nachos. Cheese sticks for $18. Wings, board, or some other stuff that doesn’t make sense for a hotel bar. Missing some basics and high $ for what you get. However, there is no where else to go without taking an U er or car ride. So you are trapped for the prices and what they have.“

“Great little bar and atmosphere. Lucy is a great bar tender“

“Was our first time to Divieto's. Sebastian was excellent. The food was excellent. Definitely will be returning. Highly recommend.“

“Great Atmosphere and even better Pizza! Staff is Attentive and very friendly!“

“This place is the perfect casual relaxed Tikki bar. The guacamole is to DIE for !!!! I ordered it on the suggestion of Kat the barlass, whose service was absolutely incredible !! I followed the fresh made guacamole with the grilled ribeye and it was a perfect blend of flame kissed savorieness and a very slight scald flavor to give it some earthiness. The prices are reasonable the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. This place is worth driving out of your way for. You will NOT be disappointed!!!“

“Met friends there this week. Malakai was our server. Had a great time. He was totally informative and a lot of fun. The food was delicious. Will be back. Sat outside. Very nice.“

“I visited the restaurant yesterday ordered hamburger and fries to go. The hamburger was excellent. It was cooked the way I wanted it. It was very good. The service could be a little better. They weren’t really that busy and to me they really were not that friendly. they basically just wanted me to leave because I wasn’t sitting there to eat, but overall it was good and I think that everyone should visit there“

“A group of four of us were served by Dylan G. None of us were very tech savvy, so we had some difficulty with the app. Dylan could not have been more patient, and helped us get through the entire process. The food was delicious! Dylan took very good care us, making sure we getting what we wanted. Thank you for making our visit a good one!“

“Visiting from Maine. Server Brandon made our anniversary night special. There was 4 of us and he was so attentive to all of us. The manager David was also checking in on us and everyone else.
The food was very delicious. We had lamb, pork chops, steak, and the special meatloaf. Absolutely perfect! Took cheese cake home. Highly recommend.“

“Just a quick shout out to Dyana and the Mango Team. I meant to post this earlier, but we enjoyed their service, food and entertainment offered on stage for.the evening of 9/27. A great time was had by all. Menu prices are very fair compaired to other venues. Kudos to all! We will be back for sure.“

“The Grilled NY strip was delicious and cooked perfectly. Fries were also good and service very good. The Sonoma Chicken salad was just ok.“

“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!“

“Place was awesome ! Manny the bartender did a great job along with his side kick Jonny whom couldn't have been quicker cleaning up any unwanted mess by consumers. I went out with the boys for carribean night and it was fantastic! Great food 👍🏼“

“Music daily is the reason I go there especially on Bloody Sundays for the blues showcase there! Outstanding!“

“Great sushi and service, happy hour had great food and drink specials“

“We had a fantastic dinner at GatorBites Tail & Ale. Amber, our server, was perfectly attentive and timed everything just right. Nick, the owner, added charm by working the floor as a “pretend bus boy” before joining us for a great conversation that made the evening even more memorable.

As a lifelong foodie who usually cooks high-end meals at home, I was genuinely impressed. Some of the negative reviews I’d seen beforehand now seem baffling — this place exceeded expectations across the board.

The food was outstanding. The beer-battered shrimp were the best I’ve ever had — light, crispy, and flavorful. The wings were excellent, and my wife loved her smoked pulled pork sandwich. Their signature fresh gator was also a standout. First-timers: go for the virgin breaded version — it’s far more tender and crispy than the flavored options.

Prices are very fair, especially considering the quality. The cocktails are strong and well-made, and their house IPA, Reef Donkey, was a surprise hit — easily the best IPA I’ve had.

Despite being a sports bar-style venue, it’s spotlessly clean, welcoming, and delicious. It’s a little off the beaten path, but absolutely worth the effort to find. We’ll definitely be back.“

“Good good. Good service good atmosphere“

“Wow! Had never been until last night, although we frequently visit Sanibel. Can’t say enough about the quality of the food. My new all time favorite. A salad with tomatoes, watermelon, mozzarella, roasted pumpkin seed and a great dressing. Smoked tenderloin was a unique and fantastic dish.“

“great atmosphere good food“

“Pizza Parma in Cape Coral is the most authentic feeling Italian restaurant in the area. The menu is amazing, the facility is spotlessly clean, and everything from the table lamps to the napkins to the bottled water is first class. The best thing though, is the service. You are warmly welcomed and the knowledgeable staff goes overboard to make sure you get exactly what you want and that you are satisfied. On a 5 star basis I give Pizza Parma a 6“

“Great traditional Italian restaurant!
Our favorites are the basic angel hair pasta, great meatballs & marinara; chicken francese; sautéed broccoli w garlic & spinach.
For dessert lovers, the Tartuffo Gelato, from New York, is outstanding.“

“The meal was fabulous and the staff was outstanding!!! We started off with Street Corn and then had a few Enchiladas and Camarones Ala Diabla. We said Hi to the Champ who stopped in for a few. This could easily become our new place to chill.“

“We had Chelly as our waitress, she found our fav bartender Ishmael, he makes the best “Classico” for my husband!! She makes the best table side 🥑 Love this place!! Some of their staff have been with the restaurant for years you can tell. Thank you, see you soon Michelle & John from SW Cape“

“Come check it out. Great place!“
