what is going on with the wings? They used to be the best around. Why change up the way you do them? I come here 40 weeks out of the year and never had them this bad. I always order Hot parm garlic.....this looks like grease and butter. I won't be ordering wings anymore after 10 years ....what a shame time for John Tapper to come in and shut it down read more

This is a DIVE bar! If you don't want dive, don't come here! There's about 5 things on the menu. We had crunchy beef tacos, which were similar to the way Taco Bell used to be. We liked them! Then we had original wings- very good, though the sauce could have more flavor. They had Bingo while we there - awesome, though we didn't win! What I hated was all the cigarette smoking, even inside. Because of that, and limited menu, I probably won't go back. read more

We went to the DEL bar for happy hour 1-3. Beers were $2. It was a beautiful day so we grabbed a couple seats at the bar. A local patron gave up his seat so the two of us could sit down. ( so nice). We ordered a bucket of beer. We got 2 cold beers- mich ultra bottle & Busch lite 16 oz can and 3 beer coins ( for future beers). We reviewed the menu and since it was Wednesday--. We got wings and I ordered a cheeseburger and hand cut fries. The cheeseburger was amazing!!!Deliciously hot with fresh vegetables. Melted in my mouth. Yum. The hand cut fries were so delicious I had to eat a couple between each bite. Our bartender was polite and attentive. Prices super reasonable. Ate too much but would do it again. Worth the trip. read more

The Dek Bar - Breakfast Menu - Dive Bars Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

This place stinks.. literally and figuratively. We went with our 22 and 19 year old kids for wing night. We walked in to some haggard waitresses telling us to sit anywhere and demanding IDs. When we said one wasn't 21, could we sit outside the bar, we were told we needed to be 21to be on the premises, several times and then given names of other places we could go. I've never in my life heard of a place where you had to be 21 to even stand in the parking lot and then essentially ushered out. So if you're a retired, motorcycle riding, grey haired smoker who appreciates rude service, this is your place. Everyone else, look elsewhere. read more

Love a night at The Dek Bar! Servers are very attentive, and the food options have always been delicious. Despite the menu matriculating over the past 10 years- it's the bar tenders that keep you coming back. Not to mention Chips for Beer Buckets. read more

Love this bar, great neighborhood place with friendly bartenders and great chicken wings.

Great food, fun and always entertaining! Been going here forever and it never disappoints. If you're looking for a dive bar, this is the place to go. Also has good bands on the weekend. read more

Absolutely horrible . Stinks and staff could care less . Not clean and the good is blah

Awesome dive bar. Just a fun place to stop and get a drink. The crowd is fun and very unique

Hit the Dek Bar again after going to the overrated, overpriced Boathouse Tiki Bar! LOL! Should have known better! Service at the Dek is 2nd to none! Prices at the Dek Bar are great! Food portions are huge and the Homemade House Cut French Fries will steal the heart of any French frie lover like me out there! Honestly, best fun place to go in Cape Coral!! Down to earth, fun loving staff and customer base! read more

This is an outdoor place / even the inside is outside. Hamburger was excellent Check out the daily specials Your arms will stick to the table The entire place is smoking Our waitress which was also the bartender was great read more

A great neighborhood dive bar! Live music, drink specials and cheap food. This is not a place to take a date if you want to impress them, but f your going casual and just want to stop after a movie for a quick drink, here's the place. There are both outside and inside bars, with the band playing inside. There's not much room to dance, but that doesn't stop people.we just stopped by for happy hours ant the fries were so black, they just tasted like burnt. Sorry, I like it here but that was horrible and although the bartender offered us new fries, her comment was " I don't know what 's going on in the kitchen" read more

The Dek Bar - Sneak peek - Dive Bars Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

Only if you have a good attitude. This is a dive bar, great bar food, amazing pizza... don't come here if you want vegan stuff or a fine wine. Don't wear a fine silk shirt... because you'll get beer or pizza on it. Expect good service, ice colds and laughs. Often good loud music. read more

Yes it's called a dive bar. It's eclectic and so are the customers. But this visit was HORRIBLE, regardless of what they call themselves. I took my 84 year old mother there on Sunday after church (yes there is breakfast) and again on Tuesday for tacos. It's casual, has outdoor seating and is dog friendly. We were encouraged to come back on Thursday for a "giveaway" night. Unfortunately, we did. All was well until a very loud and extremely rude announcement was made at 6:00 pm about a dog in a car. The dog was my mom's that I had put there two minutes before so I could use the restroom and pay my tab. The same dog that had been in the restaurant with me, under my table, with a bowl of water given to us by our waiter. The same dog that half the restaurant talked to as they went by....the same dog that played with another dog in the restaurant and was fed treats by other customers. Several Men jokingly guessed his name as "killer" because he is only 14 pounds. The announcement was disgusting as this woman said "get the fucking dog out of the car in three seconds or I'll call the police". Even as my mom scrambled to tell her that I had just took him there, she continued to spew her poison over the microphone. As my mom went to the car another customer followed and banged on her window to threaten her. What kind of establishment is this? Who allows employees to act like this? What type of place allows customers to remain and drink after assaulting another customer? It is appalling. Dive bars are fun, this place is a NIGHTMARE! Don't bother, Cape Coral is better than this. read more

*The Food" is excellent *The Service* is actually hard to believe. Every employee in their "happy little family" work their ass off. I have never seen anyone standing around doing nothing. Their employer is a lucky person to have such a crew! *Ambiance* it's a 5 star Dive Bar...The Best you can get read more

After the way my elderly grandmother was treated by an employee and a patron of the restaurant, I would NEVER recommend this place. Drunkenly screaming on a microphone that a dog is being left in a car when the dog had been in the car for less than a minute while my mother paid the bill. And THEN when my grandmother went to the car after being publicly humiliated by the drunk employee on the microphone, allowing a patron at the bar to go out to the parking lot and bang on my grandmother's car door trying to get her to come out of the car. You all should be ashamed of yourselves. What a classless establishment. read more

Don't go if your ID has ANY imperfections, they will refuse service and make you leave. My group and I visited the establishment on Sunday and everyone was served. The SAME group went tonight (Wednesday) and 2 of our IDs were not accepted. The group raged in ages from 65-22. Timmy, I believe was his name, told us that did not happen as he is there every night. When we told him we were served earlier this week he told us he may not have been there on that night. I understand laws need to be followed, however the attitude and rudeness from Timmy was unnecessary. The inconstancy and disrespect by Timmy will ensure none of us will ever be back! read more

Dylan was the most attentive and nice bartender ever!! He gave us EXCEPTIONAL service and we will definitely be back. Thanks Dylan!!

Dive Bar - great service, good drinks. King of the cheap eats! Burgers were fabulous fresh made patties and only $5.95! French fries fresh cut! Yum! Wish we would have tried their wings too as that is apparently their specialty. read more

I have never felt so unwelcome in a bar. we arrived at 7:10 pm . they close at 8 pm. did not get to order drinks for 10 minutes and food 10 minutes after that. At 8:05 pm the bouncer came over and told us to either chug our remaining beer or leave it. really bad customer service. On top of that we ordered taco baskets. Was never asked if we wanted sour cream - they just served it with the tacis. The bill came and we were charged .75 each (they gave us two which we did not even use). A customer should be informed if there is to be an up charge for something but to not even ask and then charge is just not right. read more

We had a group of 20 persons meeting up. So I called ahead to see if they could accommodate our group. I was told yes, we don't take reservations but if you come early shouldn't be a problem. I showed up 45 minutes early to secure a section only to find out they wouldn't nor could they seat our group. Was treated rudely as I explained what I was told. They didn't care. The place was dark and grimy looking. Yeah never tasted the food, but I'm good with that. read more

This place was a fun bar packed with locals. Bonus was that we went on a Friday night and got to play bingo from 7-9. The bartenders were also our servers and they were attentive and friendly and hilarious (they did a shift change and the night bartenders were no where near as good). The pizza was delicious and crispy. The drinks were priced really well and actually cheap in comparison to other places in the area. Very few staff wore masks and when four 20-somethings came in, the locals heckled and harassed them. Fortunately, there was an outdoor patio with ceiling fans and a good breeze, and we sat at a table as far away from the bar and other people as we could. read more

Great food and atmosphere. Service is solid with the bartenders; sometimes it's busy but they always take care of you. For those morons who say "oh my gosh it's not classy or good decor inside," guess what? You're in a dive bar. As far as dive bars go, it's a solid place; you'll meet great people from all over. read more

Fun atmosphere, awesome bartenders, cold drinks and cool bikes. What more could you possibly want in a dive bar?

Wow....what an unexpected & delightful find. Fun atmosphere with amazing drinks and wonderful food. The VIP Club is awesome and it's free to join. Breakfast on Sunday morning was fabulous. Chrissy, Paulie and Marissa keep the glasses full. Great place to meet up with the locals and to enjoy live entertainment. Looking forward to enjoying Football Season here this Fall. read more

My second favorite bar in Cape Coral. It's a local bar and we want to keep it that way. We live in the Cape for six months and during our away time we fly down every month for a weekend and we always wind up here at least once. Bartenders are spot on, exceptional! Friday night dirty Bingo with Corky is the best! read more

we have been to The Dek many times. After experience tonight we won't be back! We had a party of 4 that all ordered meals and drinks. The bill came to $65.00. When we were ready to leave one in our party had 4 wings left he wrapped up. I assume it was the manager that came out and grabbed it from the table and said "You can't take them because they are on special eat in only! He acted like we were stealing something! I hope top management looks into him and his attitude over 4 wings!! read more

Server Kate was very rude to our table and cussed us out. Contacting BBB. tried to tell us "she had a long day"

AMAZING SERVICE, wonderful food, the vibe is just amazinnnngg!!! Will definitely be back!

We love this place. We make a point to come here anytime we're in the area. My husband and I are very much "live and let live" people. We were so excited to bring friends here, one of which chooses to wear a mask for personal reasons. Was so disappointed today when we arrived and our friend was shouted at "take off the mask" and some guy waved a Trump cutout in his face. Great food and drinks but know they tolerate this kind of behavior. read more

The DEK is your old watering hole, that you and everybody likes to go Too Chill. It is that very friendly place who's people seem to know you even though you have never been there before. You can start a conversation or not. It's your place, you chose. The food is a great value and it is good, whether it be Wings ( original Buffalo), Burgers or something healthy like a Great Big Salad. Church on Sunday is a breakfast buffet to enjoy with a very nice Bloody Mary or Cold Beer, they even have COFFEE & OJ .... read more
