|
|
| |
Description:
MATLACHA. Overlooking Matlacha Pass, Bert's enjoys a view that makes folks visiting Pine Island for the first time green with envy. Of course, the so-called "million dollar" waterside setting is only part of this shack's appeal – after all, the kitchen does serve up tasty eats like peel-n-eat shrimp, farm-raised clams and even fried chicken. What's more, the place also features terrific live music, including everything from blues to good, old fashioned rock-n-roll. |

Description:
DOWNTOWN. Located above Harold's, Brick Bar is a laid-back yet upscale bar that features a varied repertoire of entertainment over the course of the week: karaoke nights, performances by funk and R&B acts, even the occasional dance party. As for the space, the exposed brick walls that give the place its name are disrupted only by large windows, and the smooth-topped bar in the center of the room is easily accessible to all patrons. Meanwhile, upbeat Skybar, on the rooftop of the same building, features live and DJ-spun music in an attractive outdoor setting that overlooks the river. Expect to find a younger crowd at Skybar. |

Ellington's Jazz Club & Restaurant |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |
|
1244 Periwinkle Way, Sanibel Island 33957 • 239-472-0494 |
|
|
| |
Description:
SANIBEL ISLAND. If you fancy yourself an aficionado of jazz, then you don't want to miss stopping by Ellington's on Sanibel, an old-school jazz bar that books a dizzying array of guitarists, divas, trumpeters, saxophonists and pianists. In fact, Ellington's signature white grand piano bares the autographs of many of the performers who've played here over the years. As if the music wasn't enough of a draw, the joint also scores big with its "jazzed up" fare – how about herb-crusted Bass a la Basie or a Sweet Georgia Brown Chop? |

Gulfshore Grill |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |
|
1270 Estero Blvd, Fort Myers Beach • 239-765-5440 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FORT MYERS BEACH. One of Estero island's landmarks, this casual beachfronter traces its roots all the way back to 1921, when the Gulfshore Grill and Casino made its debut. Today, thanks to a convenient location and terrific views of the beach, Gulfshore is as popular as ever. And though sandwiches, chicken, steaks and even pasta dishes have made their way onto the menu, it's the fresh seafood that still makes folks' stomachs ache when they think of this place. After one bite of of the grouper platter or fried tilapia, you'll understand why. Live music starts each night at 9pm. |

Indigo Room |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |
|
2219 Main St, Fort Myers 33901 • 239-332-0014 |
|
|
| |
Description:
DOWNTOWN. One of downtown's hottest nightlife destinations has to be Main Street's Indigo Room, where the casual island mentality meets great live music. The Room hosts a wide range of popular regional and national acts each season, including their own house band, Sugar Action. Best of all is their beer selection, which features an impressive number of domestic and imported labels. Keep in mind; the party here usually doesn't start cranking until around 10:30, so it's best not to get crazy too early. |

FORT MYERS BEACH. You can't create any more of an island atmosphere than the one at Junkanoo! This dance club enjoys more than its share of popularity with the area's more upscale residents and visitors. The club frequently hosts afternoon sessions of live reggae, and the DJ-driven dance parties tend to last until the early morning. The place offers a menu that is a step above the usual "pub grub" found at its competitors, including some decent pizza pies. |

Description:
PAGE FIELD. Home to the famous Fort Myers tradition called "coin night" (on Tuesdays between 7pm and 10pm, any coin buys you any drink), Ricochet is a spacious, Western-themed nightspot that just so happens to book some truly outstanding live music. Indeed, over the years folks like 38 Special, Gretchen Wilson and Keith Urban have plugged in their amps here and rocked the crowd well into the night. As for a dress code, there's not really one to speak of, but chances are you'll feel most comfortable in your boots. |

Snug Harbour Waterfront Restaurant |
|
(Nightlife - Live Music) |
|
1131 First St, Fort Myers Beach 33931 • 239-463-8077 |
|
|
| |
Description:
FORT MYERS BEACH. Located on First Street, the Snug Harbour Waterfront Restaurant attracts a good mix of locals and "regular tourists" on Sunday nights, when it hosts a live reggae dock party. The bar sits on the docks, and it's quite a spectacle to see all of the boats pull up in the evening, full of revelers ready to enjoy good food and drink. (perhaps an even better spectacle watching them try to leave!) Make sure you're wearing comfortable shoes, because it's impossible to resist the dancing bug here. |
