Gone down hill! Never going back! We live close and have enjoyed their burgers many times. Today, dry, dull, flavorless, not even as good as Burger King! We picked up. Fries were soggy and over salted. Meat patty dry. No mayo or sauce. No lettuce, tomato, pickles or onions. WTF!? Who wants to pay for that!? I called and the lady said we have to ask for that. EXCUSE ME?? Poor service, no one anywhere needs to ask for typical burger fixings! Save your money, go anywhere but here! read more

Everything about this sports bar is top notch. Very friendly large bar, delicious food, friendly and very competent staff. A massive amount of TVs covers all sports. It has a nice outside bar on the canal. Family friendly as well. read more

Consistently good food and service at reasonable prices. I've had the ahi tuna wrap (delicious but watch the wasabi level!), the Caesar salad with blackened shrimp, and one of their daily specials. All were full of fresh ingredients, well prepared, and quickly served yet not compromised in any way due to that. Service is attentive. Prices are normal for what you are ordering. There's a good-sized U shaped bar, tables, and booths inside. Yes it's got a lot of TV's all tuned to sports but the volumes are off so you can still enjoy a good meal quietly (except on NFL Sundays). There's outside seating at tables and another smaller bar, too, all overlooking a canal. Highly recommended. Try them soon! read more

The owner or manager of this establishment was driving behind me and while I was driving a couple miles under the speed limit he honked at me before turning into first round draft. Don't know why he was in such a hurry but being rude is not acceptable so I do not recommend this establishment read more

It's a solid watering hole that serves good food. I found the wings to be quite good, and the grilled option was definitely the way to go. The fried chicken is also good, though I do think the batter could use a touch more seasoning. Adam handles the bar on the weekend with friendliness and efficiency, and the staff in general is good. read more

I went here for lunch. Ordered shrimp ... believe it was called bang bang shrimp. This was hot as expected. My fault for not reading the menu but it came with a very small portion of coleslaw and that was it ... I'd enjoyed the shrimp but left feeling hungry. My son got fried shrimp which came with French fries. He said they were both very good and there were plenty of each on the plate. He had a beer and I had iced tea. Service was great, greeted immediately and told to take any available table. Some tables but not all have little tv monitors. There are large ones above to watch games. Plenty of parking. I'd say it's a typical sports bar with good food but nothing outstanding. I'd go back and try again. read more

Stopped here because it was busy at 2 in the afternoon. Good sign! The service was great, the food awesome and sitting on a deck with water...nice. Busy street but just nice for us Ohio people to sit outside in February. $32.00 for both meals, two beers and ice tea. read more

We stopped in here on a Tuesday afternoon for lunch. My parents who winter here bought a $100 gift certificate and got $50 dollars in bonus money. The weather was nice so we decided to eat out on the patio. The patio is rather narrow and is along the canal that is next to Del Prado. There is a lot of foliage along the waterway and I actually saw an iguana in the trees, that was kind of neat. The service was okay. I thought that the servers that helped us were rather curt. They weren't to friendly but fast. They always seem to be in a rush. I got the boom boom shrimp which is like bang bang shrimp. It was served with a garnish of cole slaw, which wasn't much of anything. The boom boom shrimp was $9.99. I also tried the fried fish with fries for $10.99. The first was average, the tartar sauce had a clove flavor, not sure what that was. The boom boom shrimp was also average. It tasted like fried shrimp with a sauce from a bottle poured on at the end. For the price, the fish entree was a better deal. I would eat here again, but I doubt that I would be the first to say that I wanted to eat there. read more

Unfortunately I found the place to be forgettable. We showed up after 7:00 pm on a Sunday night after spending the afternoon playing cards at Anthony's. There were about 8 of us and we went there because it was supposed to be so good. Unfortunately it was so cold in there, I was sitting right under a vent, that it spoiled the whole evening. A friend gave me a jacket from their car which I bundled up in, but it didn't help. The help didn't seem to notice or care and the place was empty. I wish I could remember what so I could rate their food but looking at the menu to try to help me is not doing any good. It a shame that an experience like that colors your memory. read more

We really like coming here. Outside is great but seating is limited. The staff really huddle and the food is outstanding. We have had burgers, tacos. Really good draft beer and a lot of sports on TV. Bartender was top notch. Low hey fun vibe read more

Being so close and open late makes this place hard to ignore. I've been here twice and both times it was more for the convenience than the food, but the food is above average. I went to watch the Cavs lose to the Celtics (so I was already in a good mood) and ordered a High 5! ... but they ran out of it. Very tragic, I know. After collected myself I kindly asked if there were any other IPA's on draft, I was pointed to their new Kona brew on draft, she brought me a sample and it was most definitely not an IPA, and it frankly was not tasty. I opted for Tito's w/soda and lime, it was strong. For food I asked for their hot garlic wings and paid an extra dollar to have them grilled (they fry then grill them). Not going to lie, I was pretty excited. They came out with celery and ranch and loaded with garlic ( I am a garlic lover so I was ok with this but thought to myself that a non garlic maniac would perhaps think it was too much garlic). Either way I bit in, without ranch, to get the full effect. Thoughts: the sauce is hotter than expected, it's tasty but missing something I can't quite identify, and a bit too acidic, the garlic would be perfect if it was fresh minced but you can clearly tell it's pre-minced and raw pre-minced garlic doesn't quite pass the taste test especially when paired with such an acidic sauce. The wings also were not just lightly charred, several were burned on one side and not the other. Also, very dry, and hard to chew. Maybe the frying and grilling over cooks them but in the end very few were moist or juicy. It gets a bit worse, the ranch sauce was very very bland, almost tasted like pure buttermilk. The waitress was very helpful and accommodating and brought me their Cajun ranch which was much better but still not the greatest. Overall it did not hit the spot as I thought it would. Service and place are good, but just missed the mark this time. read more

Walking in, it had a funky smell - not pleasant. We were told right away they closed at 9, we had walked in at 8:30, their own website said they closed at 10. We were told multiple times by our waitress that they weren't trying to rush us out. They shut off the TVs at 8:55 (we were watching the dolphins-bills game on a Saturday night). No issues with closing early, but the communication of it was poor. We would have chosen another sports bar had we known. read more

First Round Draft - Sports Bars Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Took two of my friends for lunch at First Round Draft because they had never been there and I wanted them to try something different. And, they loved it!! We had a booth and plenty of room. All of our meals were very good and the desserts were to die for!! Our waitress was super nice and saw to it that every thing was served in a timely manner. As for the gals, they can't wait to return for another positive experience!! Did I happen to mention that all of us are way over 70 years old? Going to places like First Round helps to keep you young. Well, it does for us!! read more

We like coming here as it one of the few restaurants which can be reached by boat in the canals of Cape Coral. No need to go out on the river if your boat is on the canal in SE. After docking you ascend a flight of stairs. The restaurant has a patio overlooking the canal but unfortunately not enough seating due to space constrictions. They obviously have a steady local clientele as the bartender called many by name. There is inside seating as well with a nice U shaped fully stocked bar and booths and tables. Probably popular in the hot summer, but we chose to sit outside. Once we saw a manatee from there and iguanas are spotted too occasionally. The food is well priced and good. My chefs salad was loaded and at 8.99. Same with sandwiches and burgers. We were a party of 5 and everyone was happy. If driving, they can be reached via Del Prado and there is a parking lot. read more

Awesome Burgers & fries are crispy. My wife likes the Salad venue. Can't go wrong there. Not much more to say when it's this good.

If I could do zero stars I would. We walked in today 1/3/22 at 6 pm for wings and a beer. Final meal with parents before heading home. We were greeted by a women with brown hair, glasses & vibrant green nails. She was nice. Told us to sit where we wanted. We apparently sat in the wrong section. The server (short blonde hair) ignored us. She wiped a table, talked to her 2 of the 4 tables she had and stood around chatting. 4 tables walked in after us and sat in the section with the server with glasses/brown hair. She had 9 tables. The blonde looked at us multiple times and just acted like we were not there. So after waiting 15 mins we got up and left. Blonde just looked at us. I was a server for many years, all she had to do was acknowledge us and say I will be right there and actually serve. I won't be back. Parents who live in town wont be back. The brown hair lady with glasses should get a raise. She was rocking it out of the park. read more

$2.50 drafts for happy hour! Staff wasn't overly friendly but I don't really have any complaints. Nice spot if you want a quick beer then move on! read more

Great for a quick bite. Deep fried mushrooms are great and the gravy on the open face roast beef was to die for.

Great food & better service than usual! I took my wife & niece Wednesday after work and was surprised to get a parking spot, usually packed, season or not. Limited staff that night but our server Hannah must have had a hospitality class at one time, she was very attentive, friendly and charming. We enjoyed the other servers & bar tenders too but haven't been out for awhile. Tap beer, bottles & hard seltzers are priced nicely & the sandwiches are still huge & the best around here. Specials & appetizers are a must. We had a great time & we will be back again soon! read more

We have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and finally went today. The weather was perfect for sitting out and enjoying lunch. The outside deck is more of a bar with a few tables but we were very comfortable and enjoyed the view. We started with the beer battered mushrooms, which were excellent. My husband got the pulled pork. He loved it. I got the tuna salad stuffed tomato. The tuna salad was very good but a bit drier than I prefer. The tomato really needed another couple days of ripening. A little hard and lacked much flavor. My iced tea was brewed to perfection. We had a very friendly waitress. Overall, a very enjoyable visit and we will definitely be back. read more

Ate there once and absolutely loved it. Now we pick it up and bring it home. I love eating there I like the Decour in the outdoor canal seating. Another excellent spot to eat in Cape Coral read more

Food was delicious! Great prices and menu items. Burgers and wraps were solid. Awesome service as well. Will definitely be back!

Yet another water front pub with no outdoor NON smoking seating! Infuriating to live with so few places to enjoy a beer and wings outside, by water without the cancer sticks everywhere. Wings were a bit freezer burnt but they have High 5 on tap! Staff was indifferent at best. Try other options in the Cape. read more

We chose this restaurant because of comments it has the best broasted chicken in Cape Coral. What a total disappointment. The chicken was the Worst broasted chicken I have ever eaten. Over cooked, dry, chewy. Like eating a shoe. Date of visit was July 23rd 2022. Side note beer and onion rings were good read more

If you are coming by boat... SLOW DOWN!!! There are numerous sea walls along the Honolulu Canal that have been damaged by Hurricane Irma, and pushing a big wake is damaging to those homes and residents. Also, it happens to be a super popular spot for the local water cops to patrol, so make sure your revelry is limited to the bar, not the boat, or you'll find yourself in trouble with the local law! This place is almost always packed to the rafters. Why? Well, for a number of reasons, but I'll give you mine: they have THE best wings in Lee County. Seriously. The Best. Also, the full bar, great beer selection, hard-working waitstaff and awesome in-house made chips don't hurt things. A locals favortie for a good reason. You'll be glad you came!! read more

Waited 40 minutes for sandwiches. Food came out cold. Manager refused to take cost of returned cold food off the bill.

Very relaxing atmosphere, especially outside on the deck overlooking the canal. Food is extremely good for a sports bar,also great service.

We really enjoy FIRST ROUND! Every time we have been there the food and service and atmosphere were enjoyable! We love Monica! She gives us a call when they have our favorite soup available. We will return again and again! read more

Our food didn't come out all together. The server was rude as could be. It seemed like we were a problem for her and she had no patients for us. She brought over the wrong beer for me and goes "I guess I'll just buy it.." I'm a longtime bartender/server and was mortified to be out to lunch with my parents there. Super embarrassing. Her attitude on a slow Thursday lunch was horrible. Yikes. read more

This always-busy barestaurant is accessible by boat and car. We are always amazed with the variety of the menu, and how it all tastes great! Our table had the wings, ahi tuna, steak salad, fish and a burger. Plentiful TVs and loud bar patrons provide lots of entertainment. I've been here several times and every time there have been issues with the bathroom plumbing (stench) and busted booth seats. Service is always great and accommodating to special requests. read more

Are you ready for some football............. This is the best place to watch NFL. It's not your typical sports bar in that they don't favor any team. So you get people from all over. We've met so many friends there! My wife has vision problems but they have TVs all over- even in the restroom. On the tables, they have speakers so you hear only your game. The servers are also very attentive to you too. Servers will refresh you beer without asking. Food prices are great. Hope to see you there. read more

I like the atmosphere and the food that I have had so far is good. The outside bar is on a nice canal for those that want to drink on the water. Inside is shockingly elegant for a sports bar. Plenty of TV's so you have great view of a game from almost any seat. read more

First Round Draft - First drink of the night. Well presented. - Sports Bars Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

We stop there while out boating, there were 10 of us. The staff did not seem happy to see us. We ordered several appetizers, they showed up 2 minutes before your meals and cold. They had a small child serve our appetizers and some of our food. She had to be under 10 years old. I ordered a Classic Burger cooked medium and water. Simple right, the hamburger was beyond well done, to the point it was crispy on the edges. I asked the waitress three times if this is medium she told yes and left. She didn't return to the table until we were done eating. When she finally return to the table I confronted her and told me receipt should said medium on it. It did, but I'm eating the receipt. It took her so long to back to our table we had to go to the bar and get our own drinks. This is second time I've been there and had OVER COOKED burgers. We will NOT be returning. read more

First Round Draft - Sports Bars Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

I like clever punny business names (my own, a watch repair shop is called Neighborhood Watch) so of course I visited this place. I was actually looking for a place to watch the Women's World Cup soccar finals and I was pleased to see that they had it on. Although my table did not feature this I also saw that some booths had private TVs, presumably that you can select your own sound and programming. The menu was typical upscale bar food and my burger was prepared as ordered. No complaints and nothing extraordinary either. I would totally go back again. read more

Grilled wings are amazing. We had a wonderful experience here with Megan as our server. She was quick, attentive and our drinks took no time at all. We're here visiting and I would come back! Canal view from the patio is a must... Ask for Megan, she's wonderful! read more
