50 Best Bars near Sanibel

“Coconuts is back and so good! We have been coming to Casa Ybel for over 25 years. We were so glad to have Coconuts back after the hurricane. The drinks, food and service were great! We loved how they now come around to you at the pool to see if you’d like any food or drink-very convenient! And so nice that they deliver right to you by the pool!“

“Huge shoutout to the KIND and HONEST TEAM at Doc Fords in Sanibel! 🙌 We’ve been going there for many years and their food is always delicious-one of our favorite spots for a reason. We had dinner there Sunday and a couple of days later I realized my wallet was missing. I called in hoping for the best, and to my surprise (and relief!) they had it safe and sound- with EVERYTHING still inside! So very grateful for people who do the right thing. Thank you for turning a stressful situation into such a positive experience! 💙 Annette Nilio“

“Caleb was definitely on top of servicing the pool lounge area! I can’t attest to the food since we just ordered poolside cocktails. It was very crowded but still found a couple of lounges. Caleb promptly served our cocktails and made his rounds checking on us and keeping us hydrated :) Thanks Caleb!“

“Big shout out to Brad at Bob's Beach Bar! Super fun and gave us great recommendations for places to try in the area. We enjoyed some delicious cocktails in the sand and 🌞 with Brad as our bartender a couple of afternoons while at Pink Shell. He's the best!“

Some of the best pizza and wings around, and the phillys are delicious as well! Def a fun place to go have some drinks and food. Nothing fancy at all but it’s 100% worth checking out!!“

“We will absolutely be back! Our ride was perfect, & cool in the shade of the Tiki Bar with a great breeze. Nick played great music & made sure we paused to see some dolphins. He took us to a great restaurant along the water & made sure we had everything for our ride. You should absolutely experience this if you’re in the area!“

“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.“

“ROB was the best bartender! When we asked how long he'd been working at Dixie Fish, he told us her was new to the bar. He was Great!!“

“Our waiter Kitch was awesome! There were 4 of us and we all had amazing dinners.“

“We had a great time at Petey's on a Sunday afternoon. We walked right up and got a bar seat with a view. Tiffany behind the bar was great with Orlando on the steel drums for Reggae Sunday. He's super talented! Apparently this is a pretty well kept secret and I almost don't want to spread the word! We enjoy the off season, visiting our favorite places while they are not packed wall to wall with visitors. We'll be back on another Sunday soon!“

“I stopped in early yesterday on the way back to the Cape after stopping by the Key West Express Office. It was early and it was very quiet, with only two other people at the bar and Tina serving. I just love to sit back listen and observe.
First, we were stopping at Tina's post IAN when they were outside in a trailer, serving up beer. They were about 6 feet under during IAN. It has a great local following, but is always great with non-locals stopping in. I love the friendliness of this bar. It is just like the name states a 5 star Dive Bar, and it needs to stay that way. An absolute sanctuary of zero pretense. Tina gets it—she knows perfection doesn't need a remodel.“

“Had a great experience at Ford Garage Cape Coral. Hadn't been there in awhile and with season behind us I decided to taken advantage and stopped in. We were greeted at the door and seated immediately, atmosphere casual and fun. The service was excellent. Our server, Layla, was friendly greeting us with a smile. She was sweet and made sure all our needs were met. I would highly recommend Ford's Garage.“

“Our favorite did NOT disappoint! For the first time we skipped the oysters for the bacon wrapped shrimp- we ate it so fast I didn’t get a pic…. Delicious, great bacon and even better shrimp! Next up was Cajun shrimp scallop pasta! Oh man- best we have ever had. Smooth cajun cream sauce over ample grilled shrimp and scallops and linguine. Yum!! Had the drink of the day- blackberry mule- perfection. Thanks SOBs for another fabulous evening!!“

“I had the pleasure of dining at Gather while staying at the Westin for a long weekend. Everything was outstanding. My grandkids enjoyed the burgers, the steak and risotto on the two nights there and they loved the mock tails and desserts. Brunch was also excellent with the best sausage gravy ever. We look forward to our next stay and eating at Gather again.“

“The entire experience at at the pink shell is always fantastic. We have been coming every year for the past 4 years. The service and cleanliness is unparalleled. The Beach, the main attraction is absolutely beautiful. Couldn't recommend the Pink Shell more. Come visit! Jon and Brian from Cleveland at the bar were awesome. Also Chester was a delight. And main man Gary at the desk took excellent care of us. Further more the best breakfast and view in all of Fort Myers.“

“The servers we had last night at Froggy’s were amazing! We showed up on a busy Friday night with a party of 16, no open tables and they opened the patio for us. We had Tiffany and Audi as our servers and I’ve never had such attentive and fast service. Our party even grew 9 additional people and nothing slowed our service. We tried 5 pizzas-each one was awesome. Everything we ate came out quickly and was delicious. Bonus—the live music for the evening was rocking! Highly recommend!“

“This is always a frequent spot for us when I’m in town. The service is always great and sunsets are absolutely beautiful in the summertime.“

“We had a great time rocking it out at Rack’em Saturday night. The staff were great . A special shout out to Bobby for mixing our sound. It’s a great place, so come by and hang.“

“We had a fantastic Sunday with our feet in the sand, enjoying a great live band. The vibe was perfect, there was a wide selection of cocktails, ice-cold beer, and the food was reasonably priced. We absolutely loved the place!“
