11 Best Dive Bars near Fort Myers

“A great local pub where everyone knows each other and everyone talks to each other. Everyone who came or went stopped to talk to us. We were looking for a dog friendly place to have cocktails and beer. They don't serve liquor, but wine-based alcohol. They have food as well. We sat outside in the outdoor patio. We weren't allowed inside with the dog we were with. Lori was our server and she kicked us out. LOL She was very friendly and attentive. She told us the history of the place, which goes back almost 50 years! The current owner, Pam, owns the place for 27 years and worked there 10 years prior to that. She came up and talked to us for a while. Sierra was the next shift server and was very friendly. It's one of those places where "everyone knows your name" ?. We didn't eat, but the taco Tuesday specials were awesome. Lots of the menu is made in-house.

Parking: Their own lot.“

“Was able to wash my loads with no problems. Julieta was very helpful when I had questions! Thank you ladies for helping me out :)“

“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.“

“Bartenders are fantastic. Dora I was exhausted last night not drunk so I'm sorry I forgot to give you a tip I hope that me leaving the card on file allowed you to take one! Also, karaoke is really fun on Saturdays. Just go out you'll have a good “

“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.“

“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.“

“Great bartender, enjoyed myself! Definitely would recommend coming back here!🥰“

“Great pizza, servers were awesome, definitely worthy of a return.“

“Our waitress Sara made our dinner experience memorable & too great care of us Luv the atmosphere ❤️“

“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!“
