“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.“

“Bay Street Yard is a fantastic place to host an event! The staff is attentive, polite, and truly wonderful to work with from start to finish. Everything is clean and well organized, the food is great, and they make the whole process easy. If you're looking for a venue with great service and a welcoming atmosphere, Bay Street Yard is a great choice!“
