20 Best Sports Bars near Saint James City

“What a great place. The atmosphere was great along with the food and great staff! Highly recommend and will be back!“

“Best Bartenders in SWFL!!“

“The Thanksgiving buffet was absolutely the best! Delicious turkey, prime rib, ham, and all the amazing sides. Every employee who worked that day gave their all, creating a warm, festive atmosphere and making sure everyone felt cared for! Their dedication turned a holiday meal into an unforgettable celebration. We will definitely go back!!!“

“Came here for the first time today after a recommendation from a friend. Our group tried 5 different dishes and they were all wonderful. Philly Roll, blackened shrimp, buffalo fingers (but with sweet chili sauce), sweet potato fries, and the buffalo wings (medium). Everything was fantastic. The place is very casual, adorned with Michigan sports decor, (but everyone is welcome of course) Staff was super friendly and attentive. We will be back for sure.“

“It’s a friendly neighborhood bar with nice bartenders an awesome atmosphere and great drinks.“

“Great food, good bartenders, highly worthy of a return. These people were wise in firing Kitty Maldonado whom these days continues to ramble over and over like a broken record over other peoples' mistakes, including things that are years in the past and that everyone at all bars is tired of hearing about. Does she not realize how horribly annoying she is to everyone she serves and works for at every single bar, and yet she continues to repeatedly resurrect the same drama, over and over, like a broken record at every single bar she works at, which she has been doing since the Covid pandemic. And Kitty was fired from at least a dozen other bars for rambling over and over like a broken record over other peoples' mistakes. People are tired of hearing about the same mistakes of other people over and over again. Kitty's repeating broken record drama has ruined numerous potential celebrations of Joe Biden's victory and Donald Trump's defeat in the November 2020 election. Donald Trump was the very worst president in American history, many of us were about to celebrate Trump's defeat and multiple impeachments, and Kitty ruined our celebrations with her drama and rambling over and over like a broken record. And to make matters worse, she has a destructive sidekick, Joanna Teresa Unbehaun, adding to the drama. Joanna is in fact reported to have framed a number of students at a high school near Chicago for involvement in the 2001 attacks at the World Trade Center and the Pentagon, as well as for a series of bomb threats that occurred in the Chicago metropolitan area during the fourth quarter of that year. Reportedly, Kitty Maldonado was actually supposed to have moved to Atlanta, Georgia or Los Angeles, California back in the fall of 2018. And truthfully, I think Kitty would do well in Los Angeles as I hear a close friend of hers, Deziree, that used to bartend in the South Cape, lives in Los Angeles and is last known bartending somewhere on Wilshire Blvd near Beverly Hills.“

“Great spot for amazing food and music! We love that they support live music, always a fun time!“

“Honestly this place is amazing I loved working here and having fun with my family members and I can’t wait to come back to work“

“Great service, even at busy times. Better than good for bar food“

“I went on the recommendation of a friend. I’m very glad that I went very polite. Very attentive staff places clean very friendly people. Food was very good. I had a small biscuits and gravy, which was good and then I had a side order of Corn, beef hash, and it was exceptional. Leo was my waiter.
He Couldn’t have been any better. He was fast. He checked on the table periodically and he was pretty funny. Also, definitely be back here.“

“This review is long overdue. • My friends put together a going away party for me at the Duffy's location on CC Pkwy on the evening of Friday January 28,2022. • I wanted to give a HUGE shout-out to our server, Britney B for single-handedly taking care of our food and beverage needs for three solid hours! She was extremely effecient, friendly, and professional. • As we all know with a group of this size, this can rarely be accomplished in an effortless manner as she demonstrated during that time! • Additionally, thank you to management for allowing us ALL to sit together by placing us is the front private space up front. We all appreciated your hospitality on short notice! • Again, thank you Britney B, management and staff for accommodating us and sending me off to AZ in style. • Much appreciated! • I highly recommend this establishment!“

“Always good food good service and brownie dessert rocks“

“Stay last year. Had such a great time. Live bands day and night. The rooms were very nice and clean. So kick back and relaxing time.“

“Well for starters the escargot, raw oysters, and oysters Rockefeller were out of this world. Both the red and white clam chowder were like perfection in a bowl. My entrée was the baked stuffed shrimp and hands down AMAZING. Our waitress was YO and she knew everything about the history of the restaurant to the menu. I was very interested in the collection of oyster shells on the walls and she explained that as well. TEN STARS !!! I recommend to anyone who loves fresh seafood and visits Sanibel Island.“

“Great pizza friendly staff.“

“Great atmosphere and wonderful food! Bartenders were awesome!“

“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.“

“🍤🍔 Burnt Store Tavern – Cape Coral, FL
★★★★★ (Would give 6 stars if Google allowed it for “Beer Colder Than a witch’s Tit”)
Walked into Burnt Store Tavern expecting the usual Florida strip-mall vibes and left wondering if I’d accidentally stumbled into a Michelin-starred speakeasy disguised as a neighborhood bar.
Our server Casey deserves her own statue outside. Picture this: four hangry adults, zero patience, menus longer than a CVS receipt. Casey swoops in like a superhero whose cape is made of napkins and unlimited refills. She memorized our chaotic order faster than I can remember my own Wi-Fi password. No “I’ll check with the kitchen,” no up-selling dessert before apps—just pure, unfiltered competence wrapped in a smile that could melt butter. 10/10, would let her babysit my kids, dog, and tax documents.
The kitchen? Pure Sorcery. My grouper sandwich arrived so perfectly cooked I half-expected it to wink at me. Flaky, juicy, zero “fishy” crimes committed. The burgers were medium-well masterpieces—juicier than gossip at a PTA meeting. And the wings? Crispy outside, tender inside, sauced so expertly I considered proposing to the chef mid-bite. Beer? Served at a temperature that should be illegal in Florida. I’m convinced they keep hops in the witness-protection program inside a glacier.
If you leave Burnt Store Tavern anything less than stuffed, happy, and plotting your return trip, you’re doing life wrong. Tell Casey we sent you—she’ll probably remember our order from 2025 anyway.
P.S. Bathroom was clean, parking was easy, and zero alligators tried to eat me. Florida five stars! 🐊✅“

“I had a great experience at the Applebee’s in Cape Coral thanks to our server, Jayleen. She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome from the moment we sat down. Her positive attitude and excellent service truly made our visit enjoyable. Thank you, Jayleen, for such a wonderful dining experience!“

“Stopped by with my hubby for some pizza. We left smiling ☺️ Tasty sauce, crust and toppings.“
