fun night at the 8 foot! they really have good beer and the layout has a cool vibe. we were there for a trivia night the topic was "National Lampoons Christmas vacation " we had a lot of laughs... it's also great when you win, which we did. slaughtering our competition (wives at the next table) by one point. anyways... beer was good and we had fun. read more

Eight-Foot is moving soon. I caught them at at 4417 SE 16th Place for a few late afternoon beers and some wifi before moving onwards. The place is cool with a friendly and welcoming vibe. It seemed to be mostly tourists coming and going, which I would expect in mid-February in Cape Coral. The bartender working today was happy to provide recommendations for places to eat and for some folks who were looking for another round of drinks. He also had takeout menus for nearby restaurants. I sat at the high top with my laptop and watched all of this while enjoying their Rice Lager and then the Florida Common. Delicious and tasty beers. We'll see how Yelp treats this "business" and if this one is marked as moved and a new one opens or what. Then I'll be back. [Review 19196 overall - 1603 in Florida - 166 of 2023.] read more

Service was great but I was unimpressed with the selection of beers on tap. I get the impression that Cape Coral is more of a sleepy town. Only three participants were playing drag queen bingo. We love drag queen bingo, but this brewery definitely left something to be desired. read more

I can't recall if Eight-Foot was around two years ago when I was last in the area, but they are a splendid and welcome addition to the local brewery scene in Cape Coral and Fort Myers. They tend to spend part of their production on yeast and mixed-fermentation beers, which is what intrigued me the most about wanting to pay a visit. Overall, I was pleased with what I ordered and discovered the taproom to be a very chill spot to hang out on a Saturday afternoon. Grabbing seats at the bar, I ordered a full pour of their Julian II mixed-fermentation beer and a taster of their Amber Rye brett beer. My favorite out of the two was the former. The Julian II had some nice fruitiness, while the Amber Rye had a distinct character with the cardamom and juniper. The beers I had were solid and enjoyed the atmosphere of the taproom that's down the street from the downtown Cape Coral area. Eight-Foot is worth a repeat visit, especially when you consider it's close vicinity to Big Blue and Big Storm. read more

We visited on a Friday night to play some trivia. Since Eight Foot is located just outside of the "downtown" Cape walkable strip, it's been on my list to check out for ages. They don't have a kitchen of their own anymore (although from what the staff said, they used to!). Instead, they have rotating food trucks, which I'm into - variety and supporting local businesses! The bartenders were great - so knowledgeable about their beer. They are moving locations in the next week or two, so I'm glad I got to see the original spot, and am excited to visit their new building across Del Prado! read more

Great beer - try their hazy, it's really not like an IPA! Zane the beertender is a ton of fun to talk to- we laughed the whole time we were there! Would absolutely recommend! read more

Small joint with good beer. Sad there was no food but everyone is recovering still from the hurricane. Bartender was a cool guy and knowledgeable about the brew and sent us to a great dinner spot after a couple brews. read more

Let me start by saying, DELICIOUS, food, beer, all of it! We had the Hefeweizen, Sultry and Smooth, and the refractions of time, which was the first sour beer I have enjoyed. We also got the pretzels and beer cheese, charcuterie board and the taco party platter(3 kinds of tacos surrounding nachos!) With my boys help, it was all devoured! We totally recommend the Korean BBQ taco! I mean all of this and beer, how can you go wrong?!?!? read more

This is a new brewery that opened up in Cape Coral. It's one of the few in the area. A little tricky to find, it's in this strip of what looks like little warehouses. Nice staff, good beer, and decent prices. I really liked almost all of the beers and they have something for everyone, even a few sours. I think I did 2 flights, totally about 9 small pours. They've got a cheese and meat plate as well as chocolate fondue. The cheese and meat plate was good but not enough cheese or meat, it was a lot of grapes and crackers. For the price, I'd want a little more of what made me want to order the item on it. The chocolate fondue sounded good in theory but the chocolate wasn't hot enough for the colder/frozen items. I think once they work that kink out, it will be awesome! When you check in on yelp, you get a coupon for a free full pour as well. They currently don't sell merch or pint glasses to take home which is a bummer but they want to do it once they get their name out their more. What I really loved was the atomosphere. They've got tables, the bar and some couches and comfy chairs. Games to borrow and play (I got my ass kicked in Scrabble) and really cute lighting. Definitely check this place out if you're in the area. read more

Great service, but we visited during their expansion and there was no availability for food as they had no access to a kitchen! They did offer to order from a local eatery, pizza (which we did)! Food was good but as we said will have to wait yo see how the new place pans out! read more

It's been a slow journey for me with Eight Foot. When they first started, I wasn't much of a fan. Years later, they moved to a much more accessible location. The bar maid was very nice, but didn't seem to be "beer knowledgeable". They don't brew very many styles to choose from, but the West Coast IPA is hands down their best. The light bodied beers are a hard sell because people that drink them compare them to mass produced brews. It looks like they have a nice place to expand in. Just need some acoustic guitarists and more parking lots! I've always wished these guys the best- the Cape needs more micro breweries (real ones not the pretend kind). read more

Still one of my favorite places in the Cape, & not because it's a 3 min walk from my house. The food is fresh & delicious, & the beers are always good. The honey fried chicken tacos are so good! I'm read more

Food better than the beer. Simple dishes very tasty. I had the Fancy Grilled Cheese and my husband the Buffalo chicken Flatbread. Both really yummy. The double Julian hazy IPA was ok. A bit disappointing that it came in the small glass. The alcohol content wasn't that high. Also my blueberry bear came on a small glass because they had a small batch. Why should I pay for them having it small? Enjoyable non the less. The set up was very nice. They had games cool music. read more

My favorite brewery in SWFL. A very relaxed and chill atmosphere with a rotating taplist of unique beers. They brew lots of interesting styles of beers that you can't find anywhere else. No exaggeration. I'm a big beer nerd and I've had styles of beer here that I've never seen at any other brewery. Definitely worth a stop in if you enjoy old school styles of beer and unique takes on classics. read more

Great beer and conversation. Lots of options to try and beers to go as well. Check it out

I live in north Naples and went to Eight-Foot for a scavenger hunt they hosted. My friends and I had a great time, except for the fact that we got to the end and 3 of the 4 winners weren't present... I thought that was pretty crappy, considering many of the the teams spent 4+ hours drinking at the participating bars and the winners dipped. Eight-Foot itself was okay. The food (pork tacos) were AWESOME! As was the Saison beer... service was very slow, and the decor was mediocre. It was a very "trendy"/"millennial" bar, which isn't my thing. I'd probably go back for another scavenger hunt if they made it a bit more fair for the people who hang around until the end. read more

Eight-Foot Brewing - Game on!!! Scavenger hunt, here we come! - Breweries Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Service great. It appeared the owner served. Beer limited. Ambiance was a strip mall and octopus theme. Eight feet! read more

This is a great little brewery with incredible beers! The owner and staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about beer. The atmosphere is simple but gets the job done. Nothing fancy here but the beers take the cake. I had the Blueberry Kolsch, West Coast IPA, and the Raspberry Open Ferm. All exceeded expectations. Stop here if you are in the Cape read more

Eight-Foot Brewing - Outside - Breweries Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

The beer itself was solid here. My Tripel was probably the best beer I've had in the Cape Coral area. The outdoor patio in the front of the building was a fun spot to hang out too. As people who travelled from outside of the state, we got many stares when we wore masks inside the building. I wish Eight-Foot also had more gluten free options for my friends, as there were next to none available. read more

This place is what you are looking for in a brewery that covers more than the IPA craze. Don't get me wrong. They DO have two IPA's (West Coast & and NEIPA) but they have so much more variety too. Mexican lager - fantastic light beer, Hefewizen - great and unique for a Hefe, English Brown - amazingly tasty dark toasty beer. But then they have Alt / Bretts abd mixed fermentations. Can you say Sours!? ( I thought you could ). Now onto something off the charts and just cool. Kimbucha. Craft Kombucha!! Then they have homemade lemongrass soda!!! You wanna try a brewery that has a bit of it all this is your place! read more

Beers were good! A small selection but good. We went when they were still in their temporary location based on the sign, but it was a nice spot! read more

Small nano brewery. Nice outdoor patio. Unique styles of beer, not just an IPA joint. The 2 of the 3 beers I had were average. Seemed a little thin or light on ingredients. Just not the best they could be. The barrel aged sours are definitely the stronger players. The food was unique. Salad was good, tacos were decent. They don't have a fryer so everything was baked...I think. Poutine was edible but again, baked fries and not cheese curd. The one thing that tipped it to not returning for a while was a corn hole / beanbag weekly tournament. All locals, no masks inside or out. That scene helped us to move along. read more

This place is great! Went back twice in one week and definitely going back for more. Their beers are great and I'm excited to one day try their kimchi. read more

Chill atmosphere. Went on a Friday night had some trivia going on. They had a Mexican lager that was very tasty but easy to drink. They had a small menu of small plates and quick bar snack food. Plenty of seating inside and some outside. It's a little off Del Prado but not so far that should keep from stopping but and try some of their great beer. read more

We enjoyed our time here outside on the patio, we came back for seconds. The bartender during our first visit was the nicest person every. We have to little kids and being safe, we sat outdoors on their patio. It is shaded and very nice. There are lounger chairs, a few high tops and two low four tops. The menu is more adult and up scale. You cannot go wrong with any of the food options. A few of our favorites were the garlic bread, Fancy Grilled Cheese, Caesar Salad and Margarita Flat Bread. You also cannot go wrong with any of their on tap options. I personally like my hazy IPAs while my husbands loves a sour. They had something for each of us. If we lived her we'd definitely be here for their weekly run club! read more

Don't come for the tacos, but the beer is really good. Menu doesn't accurately reflect ingredients.

1). I can walk here. 2). Excellent brew. Thank you for your craftsmanship. 3). You have KOMBUCHA so I can come here even when I don't want an adult beverage. 4). I can walk here. And who doesn't love an octopus? See you soon. read more

This little brewpub is hard to find and off the beaten path but definitely worth the visit. They make all their own beers and they're very good overall. They also have food. I had the cheese plate which, for $10, was great. They have outdoor seating as well read more

The pulled pork nachos were delicious according to my meat loving husband, I had the veggie tacos, which were also delicious, although very small, and there were only two for a meal. They would be awesome as an appetizer. My husband also had the Brat flatbread, A combination of the spicy sausage and the sweet pear jam along with the cheese and caramelized onions was awesome. Hells Lager was Super. The Hefeweizen was OK. I really enjoyed the atmosphere; for Saturday night it wasn't too crowded, and we didn't worry about social distancing because the tables were spread pretty far apart outside and in. all in all I'm sure will be back for a nice quiet evening and a couple of really good beers. read more

Most enjoyable trip to this brewery tap. A very good selection of beers, encompassing a great range of styles (IPA, lager, stout, sour, table beer, amber rye, Belgian, German), including a couple of collaborations and some which have been barrel-aged. Prices extremely reasonable. Owners a really nice couple who were a pleasure to chat with and really know their beer. Bar food looked and smelled superb (bratwurst, mac n' cheese). Very good community feel to it, with many locals as regulars. Well worth a visit. read more

Stumbled on this place last Sunday, and had such a fun time at Drag Bingo. We'll definitely be back for more!

New small scale brewery with not a big selection but I see potential with this place after talking to the staff. Staff member gave me a quick tour of the brewery and represented Eight-foot with enthusiasm. Great tasting beer but food could be tweeked a bit by adding a little gourmet flair. I'll be back for anniversary celebration!! read more

Fantastic sours ,.. have really liked most of there brews. Brewmaster is a really nice guy as well.

This was a fantastic spot to stop for some food and a couple of beers. The bartender was friendly and knowledgeable, and shared with us other local spots to try out. The pretzels and beer cheese were delicious, and the flatbread was also really good. My favorite beer was the Saison, and we took a bottle back home with us. I'd definitely come back! read more

Atmosphere is awesome! Staff was great and very welcoming! Beer was good. The food was (sorry) really terrible. We had the buffalo flatbread, nachos, tacos and soft pretzel. Unfortunately, I cannot recommend any of the food - it was all bad. :( We wanted to like it. read more

The music by the Hot Buttered Nuggets was great, the beer was very good, but the service was unfriendly and horrible. They say they have food but don't really have a workable kitchen. Waited over an hour for simple food order that never arrived. read more

beer is great! so cute and Zane was nice.

The head bartender is super nice. Had a dark lager type beer which was super light and easily drinkable. Cozy modern space on

If you like sours...they have at least two delicious ones on tap at all time. They are fermentation gurus there and it's well worth tracking them down. Food is excellent as well. Indoor, outdoor under a roof...or out in their courtyard anywhere is comfortable and laid back. Wonderful place, great people and lovely brew!!! 6 stars if I could. read more
