    I had a great time at Cowboy Up. Just cruising downtown Ft Myers I walked in and was greeted by Janeen, the bartender, who had a shot and a beer for me before I even finished asking. The music was good and the people were fun to talk to in that way that all drunk Southerners are fun, if not a bit dangerous to party with. If you're looking to shoot a game of pool or just slam a few Crowns back and croon along to some Tom Petty this is your dive...and mine

    First time on Friday night, very low key for now at 6:45. They say it starts happening after 9:00!! Comfortable little dive bar!!

    Great classic country music. Definitely a dive bar. But it didn't feel dirty like many dice bars do. Bartenders were nice. It's small.

    Our disaster relief organization highly recommends City Tavern! Its great place for our volunteers…read moreto go and unwind. While we have not had a recent need to deploy in South Florida, our board members are visiting the area and stopped in on 2/14 (Valentines Day) to catch a quick bite to eat. The morning staff was very nice, the food was good as always, and the on-demand jukebox is always a hit. Since the last hurricane the area changed a lot. used to be a pool table and everything but i can honestly say they rebuilt the place better. We questioned checking it out when we seen a review earlier in the week, but we are so glad we didn't listen to that noise and chalked it up to us someone who didn't get their way! Way to go City Tavern Crew! And know anytime we have a need to be in town we plan on stopping by. The United Cajun Navy ~ Disaster Relief

Checked out City Tavern and honestly it was one of the best, most welcoming spots I've been to in a while. Right away the staff made me feel comfortable. Not like a tourist, but like I'd been coming there for years. The bartenders were great, like so chill, super friendly and just really good at what they do. Food was great, drinks were on point, and the overall vibe was exactly what you want when you're out trying to relax and have a good time. If you're looking for a place with great service, solid food, strong drinks, and a fun atmosphere, this is definitely a spot to hit up in Fort Myers. I'll definitely be coming back next time I'm in town.

    3rd time eating here the food was very good, craft cocktail drinks were terrific but on Saturday…read more"High Season" this is a very busy place. Luckily for our 1st and 3rd time eating at Firestone we had a great waiter Joe he provided great service both visits. He must be their premier staffer because he had almost the entire first floor and outside space and although super busy was very friendly plus competent, he made no errors! Unlike our 2nd visit where everything was wrong, food, drinks and no bread brought to the table that waiter whose name I can't remember (we were seated on the 2nd floor) was not attentive also it took forever to find him to tell him about the issues so he could try to correct the issues. I wish the front of the room hostesses were a bit nicer but alas they are not. Not any of our visits this is surprising as all they are needed to do is check reservations. Why 3 women are needed is up to management. We will be back to Firestone but we hope management rewards those that should be rewarded and not keep so many useless employees

We tried the Sizzle Dining 3-course Dinner. It was delicious! I had the Pork Chop, and my wife had the Salmon. We were both impressed. Atmosphere was very pleasant and the service was spot on. Definitely recommend giving this place a try.

The only thing I wasn't a fan of was the coleslaw it didn't taste like a traditional coleslaw and just wasn't for me. My husband ordered the fish and chips and said it was one of the best he's had in a very long time. The service was excellent, and everyone was so accommodating with our 11 month old, which made a big difference. Also, if you like cocktails, order the "I Don't Give a F...ort Myers." You tell the bartender your liquor of choice, and they make you a custom drink. Such a fun concept, and ours turned out great. We'll definitely be back!

People without reservations (I know this bc I dropped my party off and parked the car and walked in and heard ppl walk up and say they didn't have a reservation) were given a nice table by the window. Pretty annoying to watching the staff all laughing and joking around and not paying attention as we are trying to eat and then waiting around for a box and the bill. Staff should be out in the open more often and checking on their table. Not coming 1x during your whole meal and hiding behind the walls. The Gulf Coast Cioppino is an attempt on Asian flavors, but in a seafood/italian style/vibe. Idk. Lemongrass needed more flavor. If you didn't eat everything all together it seemed like it didn't balance well. Overall it was okay, but I would not order again. The triggerfish sandwich was probably the best food served for the evening. Ahi tuna nachos, tuna was tasty, but was the size of an appetizer in my opinion for $22. Oxbow pork belly - Tasty flavor but a little dried out/over cooked. Needed that coleslaw to help hydrate it. Amazing location and view of the water. Gift shop area as you walk in is a little weird and random. Felt like I was walking through Cracker Barrel to get to the hostess. I Have wanted to try this place for years. Guess I should have read other reviews first on what foods are said to be best. Only thing we would order again would be the fish sandwich. Maybe one day we will come back and try the other food that people talk more about.
