The 86 Room: Reviews & Ratings
Very creative drink preparation with fire on the bar! Need more bartenders. Waited 15 minutes to get a drink from the bar. Please create a place for people to walk up to the bar to order. There are chairs taking up all access to the bartenders and people sit for a LONG TIME blocking access to them.
A cool speakeasy vibe with Charlie Chaplin movies on the back wall, bartenders In roaring twenties grab, a jazz band at times, and amazingly inspired cocktails. The downside is that the owners have 2 bartenders when there should be 4. Long lines, or worse, long wait times even if you have a bar seat. This last time, we waited 15 minutes and my group, who I brought for the first time, made us leave saying they’d never sit that long and be ignored. The time before that we walked in 30 minutes before a band, sat down, got a drink right away!
My first time here!! The 86 Room is My favorite bar in Fort Myers, very impressed with the group of live Jazz Drink is recent and bartenders are nice
I love this cocktail lounge. The artistry that goes into your drinks, the politeness of the bartenders, and the atmosphere are all alluring and refreshing. My experience there was late at night, when some rude, loud very drunk people came in and ruined my experience, among others around me who also complained. The music was also extremely loud to the point where I could almost not hear the company I came with talk to me. Other than those things, I’d still 100% recommend this spot, but turning the music down to a more tolerable level would improve the atmosphere a lot. Either way, come check this spot out. No TVs create a refreshing experience to sit and enjoy your company.
We have been here a handful of times whenever we were visiting the Ft Myers Area and this speakeasy is our favorite spot in town! We love the prohibition theme atmosphere and love how you truly feel like you’re going back in time! The drinks are great and always a fun time. Can get busy in the late evenings on weekends but definitely worth the wait!
My wife and I's favorite spot when visiting Fort Myers. We can't wait to make it back to this place. Such a cool place with great drinks.
Love this place! Go any weds/thurs and catch some amazing jazz. Drinks are top notch! Recommend their Smokey old fashioned and 86 on fire Sazerac.. watching them make it is worth the stop. The decor transports you to a forgotten time.
Very professional and knowledgeable bartenders, I fell in love with this place as soon as I see they have a gin based cocktail menu which is my favorite liquor. Just wish they could turn down the volume of their music. It's way too loud for a 1920s speakeasy style bar, people need to kinda yell to talk there.
