What a great place. I got to have dinner with my son and daughter-in-law along with a friend of mine. The food was great. The service was exceptional! My son had the chicken and waffles. My daughter-in-law and my friend had the chicken tenders and I had the steak and noodle bowl. Everyone said their meal was fabulous and I can say that the steak and noodle bowl was just a little spicy but absolutely perfect for me! Shout out to Abby who was our waitress and she did a phenomenal job taken care of us! read more

Everyone had salads with added protein. Chopped salad was good mix of ingredients but the dressing didn't have much flavor. Chicken was cooked well. Caesar was mid with not much chicken - that one didn't feel good value for money. Waiter did his initial speech, took orders and then fell off face of earth. No refills until asked while getting the check after grabbing his attention (he looked confused about why we needed him). He seemed to be struggling to handle his section. We're not elderly but the music (inside) was a notch too loud. Made it hard to hear the waiter and talking amongst ourselves was annoying. It wasn't "fun loud" - just annoying. Side notes - the booth spelled bad. Like someone had wet themselves. Might be the material. Was gross. Almost left right away. Inside was weirdly humid too. I get we are in Florida but other restaurants seem to have figured it out. Probably won't be back. read more

We decided to come here for Easter brunch for their "Bad Bunny" brunch with a DJ. Turns out the DJ wasn't starting until after noon (we arrived at 11), and they were very booked up with reservations. We luckily snagged a last-minute table. Patio is pet friendly. I think with this being a restaurant in a strip mall, they should leave more tables for walk-ins and not take so many reservations. Service was friendly and accommodating. Food and drinks were quite good! I had a strawberry matcha martini and my friend and I shared the breakfast burrito and the grilled chicken avocado salad. read more

Tonight was really disappointing. We showed up at 10:20 PM with a party of six adults and two kids, 40 minutes before the kitchen closing time of 11:00 PM. The hostess seemed ready to seat us until she realized we were a party of eight. Suddenly, the wait became 45 minutes, which just happened to put us past kitchen closing. My niece graduated tonight which ended late, and there weren't many places still open. Before leaving, I even called the restaurant to make sure they were still serving. I couldn't get a person on the phone, but the restaurant's AI confirmed they were open and seating guests. Ali, the hostess, checked with the manager, Josh, to see if we could be accommodated. He said no. I asked if I could speak with him directly because I was willing to be flexible. I was told he was too busy to come speak with me. I was told it's because we were a party of eight... When I asked if we could split into two tables of four, the answer was no. Four tables of two? Also no. Every possible solution was immediately shut down. I want to be clear that I don't blame Ali. She was polite and seemed to be doing what she was told. My frustration is with the management or lack there of. If the restaurant didn't want to take a larger party that close to closing, just say that. Don't tell us you're open, leave us standing there looking at empty tables for 10 minutes and then refuse every reasonable option. Had someone answered the phone when I first called, we could have made other plans. Instead, we chose this restaurant because it seemed like the best late night option, and our family ended up going home without dinner after a graduation. Not a great experience, and unfortunately not one I'll be recommending. read more

I had bookmarked this place for a while and finally got to check it out on a late Friday afternoon. It is in a two-story building at Bell Tower. Happy Hour food and drinks are served at the bar. We love their cocktails and ended up trying three different margaritas. Food was very good. The bartender was very helpful on giving us recommendations. Staff was very friendly. Thank you for bringing us another chicken tender after we dropped one on the floor. read more

If you like to party this is the place for you.., Amber and onyx hues give an upscale feel to this eatery that everyone wants to dine at. Not gonna lie food is slow to come out but worth the wait. Wings served with three sauces and fresh legumes. Creative burgers like lamb with fresh goat cheese and a special fruit spread is to die for. Creative cocktails. Rooftop entertainment and so much more. And staff like Kiara who know their craft make this place something special. You wanna know why people come here in droves? Because the food, the service, the ambiance is everything... And why it is one of my personal favorite eateries... read more

Very nice restaurant with delicious food and good service. I love the bottomless mimosa brunch. The eggrolls are really good. The salmon sushi rice is really good as well. I didn't care for the calamari, it's kind of bland and the texture was rubbery. The chicken, lettuce wraps were really good, very flavorful and tender. My only qualm is that they need more servers. Overall good place! read more

Tap 42 - ROSARIO S. CASSATA AT TAP 42 IN FORT MEYERS FLORIDA. - Beer Bar Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

First off, Garth, our server, was awesome. He made sure that my cocktail (which was ordered prior to 6pm) got onto the happy hour orders. He also made sure I got the caramelized onions I requested on my burger. Very attentive. Burgers were good. In our opinion, the fries were a bit over salted. Cheesesteak egg rolls were delicious but we felt that there should be more than two cut in half for the price. We sat outside which was perfect. read more

Tap 42 - Prohibition burger with sweet potato fries - Beer Bar Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

We truly enjoyed our food. I ordered the Wagyu steak bowl, my husband ordered the chicken and waffles, another friend ordered the sushi bowl and the fourth friend ordered the ribs. Everyone was completely satisfied with their meals. Our server who I think his name was Darth or Garth did a great job. He was also training another young man. I can't tell you exactly his name either because the restaurant is loud and echoing. I loved the decor and the ambience, but the noise level is uncomfortable. We sat at a table inside near the bar. I don't even have any hearing issues but as food prices get more expensive. I look at the total picture when I go out to eat. It was great that their food taste so good, but was I comfortable the whole time, no. read more

This place has a ton of seating, outside seating, cool rooftop, inside seating, ambiance is very nice and fun vibe. Food was good, a lot of options on the menu. The tuna tartare is spicy and we ordered it to not be, but it def still was, however it was really good especially if you like spicy. Truffle filet sandwich was sooo good. If you like truffle, you will love this. Fries were good, be sure to order them well done if you like crispy fries. Service was fast but not the friendliest. Great lunch or dinner spot or even date night. read more

We stopped in after the front desk at our hotel recommended Tap 42, and it did not disappoint. I ordered the chicken Caesar salad wrap, and my husband got the truffle filet steak sandwich. Both were outstanding and generously stuffed. The fries were incredibly addictive-crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and served piping hot. Service was excellent. Our server, Jimmy (I believe), checked on us often, made great recommendations and made sure we had everything we needed. We came in later in the evening, and although it wasn't very busy, service was quick and efficient. There are plenty of TV's in the bar area, which is great for sport fans like us, though the music was a bit loud-that was the only minor downside. They offer both indoor and outdoor seating, but since it was raining, we are inside. My husband said the truffle filet steak sandwich was one of the best steak sandwiches he's ever had, and my Caesar wrap was just as good. Portions were generous, and we still managed to clean our plates. Great bar selection with lots of beer and drink options. Not close to us, but almost worth the drive just to eat here again. Definitely worth stopping in if you're in the area. read more

The wife and I dined at Tap 42 for a late lunch. We both ordered Smash Burgers, and were both disappointed in what was served. Two greasy pieces of meat, cheese and a bun. How about some lettuce, pickles, tomato and onion to complete the burger, along with the usual condiments. The wine and beer list is very limited. We were hoping for a better variety and selection. The restaurant is really nice inside, though I could do without the TV's everywhere, and how about playing some music, to liven the atmosphere up. We were seated in a nice booth, but they made these for patrons 7' tall. I am 6' tall, and my feet were off the ground. This made the seating uncomfortable. Service was passable, but the waitress disappeared and had a grating sharp voice and talked way too loud. The restaurant scene in Ft Meyers and Cape Coral is simply abysmal. We love dining out, but these days, we choose more often to eat at home for a better quality of food, drink and experience. read more

When we kept an apartment in Coral Gables, Tap 42 was just a short walk away and I became hooked on their Prohibition burger. I was thrilled to see that they had opened one in Fort Myers! Katelyn was our server and she was attentive and helpful. Would definitely ask for her again. They have weekly specials that everyone should pay attention to. The burger was damn fine. Just as tasty as I remember. Someone in our party got the burger medium well ( I know, I know) and I was fearful that all 3 would be cooked the same, but they were all PERFECT. Cocktails were great and restrooms were clean. Already planning a return! read more

Tap 42 has a lot going for it--great location, solid vibes, and a menu that knows what it's doing. Most of the time. Let's start with the win: my wife's filet was absolutely on point. Cooked to perfection, beautiful sear, packed with flavor. And those loaded mashed potatoes? Creamy, dreamy, piled with bacon and sour cream and fresh chives--the kind of side dish that steals the spotlight from the main event. This plate was a home run. Now, my grilled mahisandwich. The flavor was there, I'll give it that--nicely seasoned. But the execution? That bun was soggy. Nothing kills a sandwich faster than bread that can't hold itself together. You bite in expecting a satisfying flavor and texture and instead get... mush. Disappointing, because the bones of this sandwich are solid. Just needs better follow-through. Service landed somewhere in the middle--not horrible, not memorable. It got the job done without wowing us. One thing to note if you're planning a weekend visit: this place transforms into a full-on club scene after hours upstairs with li d DJ. We're talking concert-level sound. Bring ear protection if you're not trying to lose your hearing. The Verdict: Tap 42 remains a spot we genuinely like. Great location, fun atmosphere, and when they nail it--like that steak--they really nail it. But a soggy bun keeps this one at four stars. Tighten up the details, and we're talking five.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ read more

Tonight was my 35th bday! Ill go in reverse order this time: Ambiance: dim light, color notes of dark brown and black. Bamboo lanterns. Palm frond patterned wall paper. Restaurant volume: hard to hear across the table. Service: Alex was great. True hype man. They say the first 30 sec through the door leaves the longest impression. Here's where I give my defense with a bite: not a great impression if im being honest. I made an open table reservation for 6, but my friend brought his fiance, so 7. Said hostess brings us to a booth. Ya try a party of 7 squishing together at a booth. Hard pass. I ask about upstairs. "Its wet, and slippery..was her first answer. Try again. Its only open weds-sat and its just a bar. Ah the truth. Then we ask about these longer tables. "Well, those are reserved." Me: so like what I did, ala open table? (Was my intruding thoughts) long story short and as seen in pic below...the manger sat us at Said long table. Food: 2nd time at tap42 but different location...food was great. My chicken was crispy, the stroop waffles were sweet, the sweet potato fries were hot n crispy. Nice touch w the sweet marshmallow like dipping sauce..almost felt like eating a dessert. Which leads me to my final point...the dessert: chocolate chip bread pudding. So rich, so thick, perfect cut from the vanilla ice-cream Im stuffed. Greetings aside, this was a great bday celebration. read more

We visited at 4:45 on Father's Day. The restaurant was busy but not packed, and we were seated outside right away. It took about 8 minutes for our server, Marissa, to greet us, which was surprising since she had walked past our table several times without acknowledgment. She was very soft-spoken and seemed more focused on her table tablet than engaging with us. Bar drinks came from a different server and took a bit longer. The menu has some unique options, but several items can't be modified--even just to remove a sauce or spice, which may not work for everyone. The food was hit or miss: the filet sandwich had more bread than meat, the baby back ribs were were okay but didn't fall off the bone, and my chicken sandwich had clearly sat in the window too long. While the place is beautifully designed and has potential, the service and food execution need refining. Thankfully, we arrived before the dinner rush--it was getting much busier as we left. read more

Place was nice. Had a cool vibe, but it is very loud inside. The roof top was closed when I went. It's only open Wednesday through Saturday and you can only get drinks and appetizers on the roof top. The items I tried were good, but I found everything to be overpriced and the food quality wasn't on par with price. Service was good at the bar, but food did take a long time to come out and wasn't very hot. It's a cool place to hang out and grab some drinks and a snack, just be prepared to spend some $$$ and yelling to have a conversation. read more

One word DELICIOUS! We went to Tap 42 for a New Year's Day dinner and stepped in to a vibrant, clean and welcoming restaurant. There is outdoor seating but with cooler temps we decided inside was the best option. The booths are spacious and comfortable. Our waitress was kind and attentive even though it was clear she had a full plate with lots of tables. Our drinks and food came out within a decent time frame. Now the food was ON POINT. There is a wide variety of options for every need from steak to tuna & salmon to chicken and vegetarian. Salads, burgers, poke bowls and noodles. I could go on and on about how many different options they have. The flavor was perfection and each of us cleaned our plates which in our family is extremely rare. My youngest; 8 is planning his return trip for brunch. We highly recommend enjoying a meal at Tap 42. You won't be disappointed. read more

I had been to several other locations before trying this one and while the service was a little bit lacking, overall it was a positive experience. The food here is on the pricier side, so I usually get side items which are pretty decent sized portions anyway. The staff seemed very unorganized because three different servers came up to the table to take care of us, so they clearly did not know their sections. I think with some better training and management, this place has potential to be one of Tap 42's best locations. read more

Great location, absolutely beautiful interior. Stunning really. The bar is beautifully done. Although, loud and very hard to have a conversation, which is unfortunate. We sat outside, which isn't too bad. At least you can, or could talk to your dinner companions, that was until the club started upstairs at 8pm and suddenly the we were forced to yell over insanely loud music flooding from the upstairs. Be warned. Service was pretty slow. Our server sweet. Some issues with our order, but they corrected them quickly. The food....it was ok. I'd likely try again but perhaps for lunch. read more

The food was basic. The service was fine. We arrived at 5:30 on a Saturday and we were told by the hostess that if they gave us a table we would have to be out by 6:30 PM because they needed the table for people with reservations. They gave us a lovely table outside and we left at 7:45. The restaurant wasn't even half filled by then. Plenty of space outside. The place is enormous and also average. Maybe train the staff better to treat every customer like they're welcome. We did not feel welcome. read more

Service was very slow. Never had water refilled. Filet steaks were not good quality and mashed potatoes tasted like instant. Lipstick on glass rim so I drank my glass of wine (45 mins between one refill) with my water straw. It is extremely loud and we could not carry on a conversation. We did not go to a restaurant that apparently is a club atmosphere. We will not return. read more

We brought a large group (over 25) and the service was great. Given our numbers, they were quick, attentive, and kind throughout our meal. I got the smash burger and it was excellent. I also heard good things about the Cajun Mahi sandwich. Guac and wings as appetizers were both above average, too. Lastly - this would be a great place to watch a game with a huge bar area and plenty of TV's. Worth a visit, for sure. read more

Great experience last night at this new gem. Friends asked us to meet them at tap 42 for a bite to eat and a drink. We jumped at the chance. We got there in time for their happy hour which you can get the drinks anywhere you sit for $10 I got a wonderful cucumber drink, Blazin' Cucumber. They also have daily specials on Monday. They have a pretty good burger special. There are three delicious burgers are $12 with fries and a purchase of a drink. I had the Drunken Goat, which was a combination of beef and lamb so delicious.

Our first visit for an early dinner. It was already packed at 4pm but we didn't have to wait. You can sit inside or outside. We sat in just because it's so hot but the patio dining looked great. AND there's an open bar upstairs Wed-Sun evenings I think. The decor is very classy without making you feel under dressed. The entire staff was friendly and our server, Reilly, was fantastic. We were so stuck on ordering because so many things look amazing. I settled for the Peachy Lechee Martini (light and refreshing) and the Ahi Tuna Poke salad (greens, mango, avocado, wonton crispy string things, and the dressing' ) I will have a hard time not ordering this again next time. But I know I should try some of the other entrees. Everything is made fresh and it's like an elevated comfort food menu even with truffle mac n cheese. We're all adults here, but cmon we love our Mac n cheese too! It will be a regular date night for us.

This was delivered on Uber Eats so the review is good only. Ordered the popular chopped salad with salmon and a side of fried rice. Short and sweet: the salad was boring and the salad dressing was way too vinegar forward. It looked more like a ranch dressing and would have complimented the salad better had it been. The salmon as a protein addition was perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. It completely saved the meal. The fried rice was the essence of mediocrity. It was edible but nothing about shouted delicious. read more
