We had a great time with Rachel and Lauren. It wasn't very busy but it made our Father's Day exceptional. Lauren and Rachel were both very polite and always greeted us with a Beautiful Smile. Thanks again Bay Street Yard and thank you Girls for a lovely day read more

I love this bar. I come as I are The best part of going there is when Rachel is working. She is the prettiest and friendliest, professional bartender down there. She can hear an empty beer can clink on the bar from a 100 feet away and come running with a refill and that beautiful smile. I will always keep coming as long as she works there! read more

This place is awesome. Plain and simple. Bay Street Yard has everything you want in a hangout spot. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The atmosphere is cool and laid back with a killer mural wall, string lights overhead, and an open air setup that just works.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]It's got that fun, energetic vibe without trying too hard.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The drink prices are great. They were running Father's Day specials while we were there with any beer plus a Four Roses Yellow Label shot for $12, or upgrade to the Small Batch for $14. That's the kind of deal that keeps you coming back. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Live music on stage with a big screen behind the performers adds to the whole experience.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Grab a seat, grab a drink, and just enjoy the scene. The outdoor bar is well stocked and the bartenders keep things moving. This is the kind of place you stumble into and immediately add to your regular rotation. Great for catching live acts, hanging with friends, or just unwinding with a cold drink and good vibes. **The Verdict:** Bay Street Yard nails it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Cool atmosphere, live music, solid drink prices, and a vibe that makes you want to stick around.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Five stars for a spot that gets it right. read more

Opening day. As with any "opening day", it was crowded. Obviously not as crowded as it could have been - during season, but still plenty of people. Unfortunately, I don't think they were prepared for the crowd. They had "drinks menus" but when I went to the bar, they told me they were only making 5 special drinks. Unfortunately the drink my wife wanted was not one of the five. Food is offered through 3 "permanent" food trucks. I got nachos from one and wings from another. The wings took forever- over 20 minutes. But the food was good. They had a live band (not bad) and it looks like live music will be a staple, as they have a stage. Bars are crowded and undermanned. Hopefully this gets better. Bathrooms are interesting. I'm not sure if the "open door" is supposed to be like that. lol. Lots of seating, but again "undermanned". We sat there for over 30 minutes and no server ever came by. They did have servers - just not enough. It was almost like they had a "don't make eye contact" mind set. I'm sure (know) they were swamped, and the bars were probably not keeping up. I'm confident that they will get it together, and this place will be a great hangout. I look forward to going back "later". read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Stumbled upon this place and glad we did. Was a good late afternoon kind of drink place with music. It's extremely casual.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The bars r basically conex boxes that open up & u walk up to order a drink.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is from 2 food trucks - 1 that does Mexican (ironically said burgers on it) and 1 that does burgers (ironically said tacos on it). Ordered the birria street tacos for approx $18. Lije most street tacos, these r very small! Recommend getting without the cheese. It's overpowering & a mess, but the tacos r quite tasty without it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Can't recall the name of the guy who was playing , but he was great! Country singer up there w/his guitar. Would definitely go back to c him.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Bay Street yard is a great casual place to hang out w/some friends. They have corn hole & a relaxed atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] There's an upstairs as well, but we didn't go there. Think there was a private party day we went. If ur looking for a casual place yo stop for a drink, give it a try. read more

The bar tenders had no idea what the happy hour specials were. So in the end paid more bc they had no idea what they were doing. The handicap bathroom was out of order. Food trucks, one out of three closed. Very pricey. No one was eating here, just drinking. Music was good, but the big screen behind the musician (football game one) hurt my eyes! So I couldn't even look. BUT lots of fans and heaters to deal with the crazy Florida weather. read more

Hot Saturday! Came here after lunch so we did not get to try the food. Love the decor and general aesthetic. They have plenty of fans going to help keep you cool. Small covered area downstairs and upstairs. Grabbed a beer and sat out by the stage. Too hot. Downside, if it rains this place is probably not a great place to hang out. We also had to pay for parking which we used to do in Miami but have been able to avoid since moving to Naples. Also, the music was subpar and all sounded the same while we were there. Not enough of a variety or upbeat enough to keep me engaged and drinking. We will be back when temperatures drop read more

Bay Street Yard - Bar - Bars Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

I've been wanting to come here for such a long time. I don't know why we haven't but we came last weekend and it was great. I came for lunch around 1 and it was such a family and happy vibe. I love how everything was centered around the tv and there were two bars. There were tables for ping pong and beer pong, there was something for everyone. When we came there were only two food trucks open, the burger joint and the mexican stand. We ordered from both and the food was great, a little on the pricier side but to be expected from a location like this. My daughter ordered a donut smash burger and she loved it. Overall the atmosphere was great, I want to come back and attend one of their events or see a football game. read more

Love the new addition to downtown Fort Myers! Food and drinks were great! Live music is my fav. Bathrooms were clean for a bar. Love the design of the whole place. The upstairs was closed the night we went, hopefully they open it up the next time I go! When we left at 11pm there was a line so get there early if you want to enjoy without the crowds. We got there at 8pm and we had fun playing ping pong, music, dancing, and hanging out. Definitely wish there was more seating though. read more

The first visit was on a rainy day, the service was great but our drinks taste like old expired fruit. This experience was horrible but we decided to return for another chance. The second time we went, we had a southern burger $20 which was the best burger I've eaten buttttt it does not come with any SIDES. It was $7 just to get French fries, so we decided to get a hotdog. The food here is spot on but very expensive and they do not come as a meal or anything. I loved that we can bring our dog and watch games. The drinks this time around was actually good. This definitely changed my opinion at this place. I fuse the drinks quality depends who's the bartender that night unfortunately. Would definitely recommend to pet owners! read more

Great venue, brand new spot is what downtown needed. The food isn't cheap, but is worth the price and beats any restaurant downtown. There are options to please everyone with 3 different food trucks serving different genres (Asian, Mexican, and American). Great setup for live music and watching sporting events. Venue is outdoors so be prepared for Florida heat but there are plenty of fans and covered seating for eating. This place will be absolutely perfect in season during fall, winter, and spring. Great place to bring the whole family and the staff is great with kids. If you want to come without the kids, it's a great at late night spot sochecks all of the boxes. A real compliment to Downtown Fort Myers. read more

Came for opening day and the crowd was large, but the two different bars they had in side did there best to handle the crowds with the demand for drinks, also if you sat at a table it looked like they had servers going around to the tables and taking drink orders as well.

I paid $17 for the food pictured. It was good, but not for $17. You're better off getting a McGriddle from McDonalds. The stars only reflect my opinion of the value/quality of food. The ambiance is nice. Everything was clean. The servers were very nice. If it was up-to ambiance and service alone I would've reviewed at least a 4/5. read more
