Going to give 4 stars for now. I do really like this place and have gone a few times since they are so close to the house, but they def have some things to work on and hopefully can bring up to 5 stars I was enjoying watching a Florida softball game when they turned every tv on to hockey, and the game hadn't even started yet and still had another 35+ min til it started. Then the volume came on which was obnoxious talking on the tv. Now the bar tenders couldn't hear you over the TV's and the fans that they have to have blowing on themselves bc inside is wide open and hot as balls!!!! NO FANS and doors wide open, come on now!!! Fans are outside but not inside, yet I don't think the ac was on and every slider door was open. It's Florida, it's 92 Deg, close the freakin doors. I don't want to drip in sweat as I have my beer. They need more TV's around the place for sure. My bartender def was not on the ball. Had to ask for food menus, ask for napkins, ask to get a drink, ask to order food. She would just walk by kind of thing, in her own little world. At the back bar, 1 machine behind the bar for the bar tenders is not enough to ring up orders. They constantly had to stop and wait on each other to ring things up. Slows things way down!!!!! Get another iPad back there or something. Then when I asked to get my bill, she immediately charged my credit card and handed me the machine. I was like ummm ok, I wanted to see my bill and I was going to pay in cash! She then said oh I can reverse it. Too late, in 2 seconds you already took my money, I'm not waiting 5-7 days to get my money back. Whole new beer menu here on 5/8 than back in mid March when they first opened. The couple we tried were decent. I like a rotating beer menu, but will be curious to see how much or often it changes. Place was crowded. I was told they accepted 2 parties of 30 and 40 on a Friday night!!!! No parking to be found. The grass was full all the way down to six mile. They need to build another parking lot. Buffalo blue cheese wings. Personally I enjoyed them bc I don't like spicy, but my partner wishes there was more of a kick to them and I've heard the same from 2 other ppl. It's $17 for 10 wings with the blue cheese dipping sauce and a few lousy sad looking celery pieces, nothing else. Def pricey! Had cold crab dip back in March on first day of opening and it was pretty good. read more

A Taste of Buffalo in the Heart of Fort Myers If you're looking for a spot that brings a bit of Western New York flair to Southwest Florida, Resurgence Brewing is a solid contender. Here's the breakdown of the hits and misses from my recent visit: The Main Event: Buffalo Classics * Beef on Weck: This was a real highlight. The beef was tender and flavorful--it honestly felt like being back in Buffalo. The only minor gripe? The kimmelweck bun wasn't quite as "traditional" as what you'd find at Charlie the Butcher's, but the taste was definitely there. * Wings & Burgers: Both were excellent. The wings had that authentic Buffalo soul, and the burger was juicy and hit the spot. The Brews * IPAs: If you're a hop-head, you're in luck. The IPA selection was impressive, well-balanced, and paired perfectly with the heavier pub fare. The Downside: The Fries * Fry Quality: This was the biggest disappointment. The fries just didn't live up to the rest of the meal. They are cooked in canola oil rather than the traditional beef tallow, which really affects the flavor profile and crispness. If you're looking for that old-school, savory fry experience, these might let you down. read more

Great beer (my non-sour-loving husband LOVES their sour beers), great variety offered on tap. We've been in several times; we've split a pretzel and queso, chips and queso, and the sliders. The sliders were fabulous -- highly recommend! The queso dip was far better with the pretzel than with the chips, but both are solid options. We have not been by since their grand opening and full menu were rolled out, but I'm looking forward to trying more off of it! It has been BUSY every time we've been in (2 or 3 visits), but the staff got us seated quickly if we couldn't find bar seating. Food and beers were brought out VERY quickly. The parking situation stays a bit crazy as they share the lot with the rock gym next door, but parking on the grass across the road seems to be totally ok if no lot spots are available. read more

Resurgence Definition: revival after little occurrence Very fitting seeing how they are 30 days new only because like everyone else...covid hit these guys hard.. So yes..I shall give them the benefit of the doubt and say they have a long way to come. Walk with me through this journey: The menu 50/50 ..literally. As of right now..only half their menu is available. A the rest is coming soon. Reason being...the chef wants those items to be precise to their menu in Buffalo NY. The beer list..decent. I like the silver prize winner (won in NY) planer. I also like the cheer berry sour. Refreshing. For all who have the craft tapped app...they are on it. So get your bogo The food I liked my Mac n cheese $12 +$3 for the BBQ pulled pork. My mom however half enjoyed her salad. Lets digest that one: Southwest chicken salad: lacking description. No where on the menu was the type of lettuce used. However an ingredient that was portrayed was missing...the tortilla strips. The type of lettuce leaf used was arugula. You know..very jagged...makes some like myself n me mom choke as its hard to swallow. And the the chicken to lettuce ratio...80/20. Ie more lettuce to chicken as my mom was digging through trying to find the chicken. The service: receptive to feedback...as they should be...right? Being 30 days new...I would hope so. Ambiance: brewery. Wide open spaces. Casual/ relaxed. White walls. Ill appropriately add this comment here...the men's bathrooms..prestine. ..had a blue light hand dryer and the door has one of those hinges to step down n open so you're not using the handle. Again...the definition of Resurgence: revival after little occurrence.. Fitting, no? read more

Great first time at Resurgence brewery in Ft Myers. I stopped by there for happy hr and boy I was happy . I was greeted by the host and opted out to take a seat at the bar on the outside. Lori was sweet and friendly and made great recommendations in regards the food and the beers on tap. I went with Irish breakfast stout (yummy ) and juicy delicious Queen City beef sliders , I tried Lil Mo IPA as well , which was tasty too. Jacob, the bartender, took a great care of me and other patrons at the bar. Beer garten looked great and spacious, the whole place is huge. Next time I would like to get a table outside in the back overlooking serene Preserve. Great new addition to Ft Myers! I shall return soon to try their Dubai chocolate stout that they were out, unfortunately, the day I visited. read more

Always looking for new places to try. Came here the Saturday before st Patrick's day fully expecting to get the green beer experience. Was surprised there was no st paddy's day theme going on but still decided to sit at the bar and try it out. It is a nice open space with outdoor seating and 2 bars. They currently have a limited menu but we ordered the pretzel. turned out to be one of the best I've had and I absolutely love the 3 choices of sauces. Mustard, honey mustard and a cheese sauce which was light and delicious. I also love places that let you sample the beer before committing to it. They poured a generous sample which allowed both me and my hubby to try it. We ended up getting the bridge Pilsner which was light and refreshing. The bar chairs are not the most comfortable and they also do not have hooks for your purse. I am always amazed at how many places overlook this especially when the chairs have a round back that will not hold your purse. The place was busy and staff were struggling to keep up but they were doing a great job! Hostesses were also pleasant and friendly. We can't wait to come back. read more

The wings are average at best. Beer served in a wine glass??? Pathetic. Very unenthusiastic hostess. The good news is that there is LOTS of room for improvement. read more

Awesome ambience, food and service -the wings were crispy and not drowning in sauce, so they were perfect for me. The beef on weck was amazing and the pizza rolls, as the kids say, "slapped"! Highly recommend this place! read more

My friends & I visited last week for the first time. I had no knowledge about it but my friend's coworker wanted to go and check it out, along with the adjacent rock climbing venue. (I wasn't interested in that, lol!) I do love to try out different craft beers. My friends usually only drink Miller Lite so I wasn't sure if they would like it. But they did try different beers and enjoyed them. They ordered pizza logs, and I tried one. We enjoyed them. I am from Upstate NY and love Buffalo-based foods. Next time I go I will try the beef on weck (no horseradish for me, thank you!). I'm sure we will be back again soon. read more

We ate outside while it was raining, but did not get rained on as there's enough coverage. The beer tasted great. I had the French dip and loved it. We shared the brussels sprouts and loved them and my fiancé ate the bacon, jam burger, and loved it. read more

I'm from Buffalo, so thank you for bringing a slice of home to the sunshine state. Welcome to Florida, my old stomping grounds in my new home - everything is better with a palm tree in front of it. Had so much fun, great beer, good laughs, and made such amazing memories already. And Maleah is such a great waitress, the best - she was the cherry on top to our experience!!! read more

We went for the opening weekend on Sunday and they were slammed, so we will need to go back and reevaluate. The beers were very tasty and a good selection. Of course, the first beer that I wanted to try was the only one that they did not have. The food was tasty, but the kitchen has no concept of pacing a meal. Appetizers ordered with the drinks was brought out with the meals. The atmosphere is elegant outdoors inside. They have both patio seating and indoor seating with roll up doors to open everything up. All arranged around the brewing and canning equipment. Our server was pleasant and well informed and did an excellent job and took the blame for the kitchen. read more

not sure why we need this place. a new york brewery opening a second location in florida is weird. I waited on being served because the other bartender was eating brownies and wouldn't shut up about them. the place was full and the tvs at the bar were not positioned well so you could barely see them if you weren't sitting in front. the beer was okay some good flavors like the irish breakfast. very good ale. however i got a simple chips and "homemade" beer cheese with the "fresh" chips which were not. they came soggy soaked with salsa and covered in drips of cheese. they looked recycled from another table. won't be back for the food and probably not for the beer. we have good tampa breweries making better stuff. read more

I came in with high hopes, left not caring to ever come again. Drinks and food was decent. I really liked the banana pepper dip. Their can of cider was lukewarm so I had to take ice from my water. Service was AWFUL. I was at the bar and I got lucky if they even looked at me. It was incredibly slow, it was a Monday night, and there were 4 other people at the bar. Food took FOREVER. It was just a sandwich and a salad wrap. I'd say try this place for yourself, I hope this experience is just a one time thing. read more

Great craft beer selection and good prices all around. The ambiance is great and the place is a cool hangout spot, recommended.

Service extremely slow waiting 1 hour for all plates to show up when 8 of our plates got in at 20 minutes had to find the server after not having a check in after 30 minutes we all needed new beers and it was ridiculous we had to get charged twice because a server didn't know how to manage separate checks. Im a bartender and I would never take over an hour to check on a table the whole experience was 3 hours when it should've been just 1 hour and a half. The food was mid especially for the price we pay we should be getting some pretty good stuff but nope everything was bad for our first time. read more

Very excited to have a taste of Buffalo in SWFL! We've been a few times and the food is very good, the beers are very good just like we're in Buffalo but I will say, if you're sitting at a table for lunch or dinner....the amount of time it takes to get a beer (especially at a brewery) is pretty wild. We've been when it's slow and busy, both are the same. I'm guessing it's better at the bar, but at a table has been very slow and you can visibly see the waitresses waiting for beers to be poured for their tables. I'm hopeful that the process will get ironed out as the restaurant gets settled in but it's extremely slow currently. read more

New To The Area, We're Going Back We were in the area for an appointment and this brewery was nearby so we gave it a try. It's only been open a few weeks, but it was packed at about 4:00 on a Friday afternoon. The parking lot was full, but there's parking on the lawn directly across the street. There's something about a new place - current colors, modern, yet comfortable, clean and new. Lots of seating inside, but we chose to sit out on the patio. It's under roof, so it's shaded from the heat of the day and would provide a dry space in a storm. We were seated promptly and our server greeted us shortly thereafter. This brewery originated in Buffalo, New York and this is their second location. They are not brewing here yet, but a lot of brewing equipment is in place. They are bringing their brews down from New York. I chose to start with a beer flight ($12.50 for any four 5.5 ounce beers). My wife prefers water and as we have found at at brewers, they have great water. A servers stand was near us and we helped ourselves to water as needed. While waiting for my flight, we checked out the patio area. There's a playground area that loads of kids were enjoying. A large Connect 4, bags, and a large rock that that kids liked climbing on. Directly behind the building is a large field with lots of sticks and kids were kids - sword fighting with them, stacking and unstacking, just being kids. We had fun just watching them. My flight consisted of Nocturnal Pivo - a dark lager, Blue Raspberry Shandy - like the name, Dubai Chocolate Stout - liquid Dubai chocolate, and Oatmeal Stout. Their drink menu has excellent descriptions of each. I will say that the Dubai Stout was clearly my favorite. The vanilla, pistachio and chocolates all came out. I also had a Bridge Pilsner ($5.00). Described as Czech style, but it wasn't as 'Czechie' as other Czech beers I've had and it was very good. No problems with samples. Our server let us try as many as we wanted. Good beer deserves some good food and we saw lots of it being brought to tables. If you like jumbo pretzels, they have them and they looked great. We ordered a Crab Dip ($14.00) and the Barley Brussels ($13.00). The crab dip, more of a spread, was loaded with crab, topped with a hit of Old Bay style seasoning, served with a flatbread cracker and some tortilla chips. We found the crackers to be excellent with the dip. The Brussels sprouts were spectacular. They halve the sprouts, fry to crispy, top with some sweet Thai chili sauce and top with pickled peppers. Outstanding, even when they cooled off. Be careful though, the pickled peppers are jalapenos and they provided a kick that warranted a cold beer chaser. Portions are large enough, perfect for three of us to share. We were there for quite a while, enjoying the brews and talking and we never got the impression that they wanted us to wrap up and leave. After your visit, go next door where there is an indoor climbing center. They gave us a tour. Very impressive. We're going back soon. read more

LOVED THE SERVICE, outdoor SEATING, food was delicious also great beer, ambiance ...will definitely go back

Anxious to try again but at 2 pm today they had a 90 minute wait for a table - lots of available tables but the hostess said they were almost out of silverware . I recognize they just opened and it's better to wait than seat people they can serve read more

As a long time resident of Buffalo, NY and now permanently living in Fort Myers, my husband and I were disappointed in both of our visits to the Resurgence Brewing location in Fort Myers. We waited for a while for this location to open. The wings are so so lacking that deep fry taste. We are both huge fans of Beef on Wick. It was plain tasting thinly sliced beef on a not so great roll. I don't think we will return. read more

this place is amazing. It's been open for three days. We've been there twice. Someone needs to know that Eric the bartender is the most amazing bartender we've ever experienced. He came in and saw the guy behind the bar floundering it was 3:45 on Sunday and he jumped right in and started helping he is the most amazing bartender and someone needs to let him know. We told him how exceptional he was so please let him know that we left him this review. We told him we would thank you so very much. We will be back. Can't wait. Your food is good. The bar is great. It's a beautiful place. We love it. read more
