I was dissapointed at the way the bartender ran this usually cool bar on this particular evening. I phoned in advance to see what the hours were on this Sunday night. The bartender told me they were open until 2am. I also inquired if they were showing the National League Divisional series on TV. She said she would put it on for me If I came to the bar. I could have gone anywhere but I was sold by what the lady on the phone had told me. The place had few customers late Sunday night. I sat and watched the game quietly. The sound was way too loud for just a couple people being in there. We had to ask that they turn down the volume twice. The game was a west coast MLB playoff game and started at 10pm. At 1:40pm the bartender abruptly cut off the games sound and put on music after a few people walked in the bar for drinks.. I was slightly annoyed but thought, No problem, I can still watch the game. But the with the scored tied at 5 in the top of the 9th, with 1 out, and my team staging a rally to win the game, The bartender this time abruptly turns off the televisions. It was right at the climax of the games excitement too. She did this with no word or warning. The time was 1:50pm, still 10 minutes before 2am!. I missed the winning run being scored just a ONE MINUTE later after sitting in the bar watching the entire game. OUCH! This was totally avoidable and unnecessary behavior on her part in my opinion. I understand you cant serve alcohol or be open after 2am but she could have at the least allowed me see the last bit of action, at least unitl 2am as she stated over the phone, I had spent time and money there. It was ONLY 10 before 2 on the bar clock and my cell phone when she abruptly turned off the TVs. I cant believe the lack of empathy shown by this employee towards a paying customer who was not causing anyone trouble. I left after paying the tab and noticed four or five people still sitting at the bar drinking as I left. Go figure! I was blown away by her arrogance and insensitivity. I understand that people down here are not passionate about sports. We have no close major league team to root for after all. But in business you should practice what you preach and go out of your way to make a customer happy. Put yourself in my shoes. Very disappointed that they shut off the TV 10 minutes before closing. Its not like they had a crowd to clear out. I missed a great finish to a classic MLB playoff game. I wasnt asking anyone to stay there or drink after 2am or do anything unusual or illegal past 2am. I understand the law. Put yourself in my shoes and youd be disappointed too. FINAL SCORE Phillies 6 Rockies 5. What a great game! What a great series! Sorry I watched it there though. Oh well. GOOOO PHILLIES! I SMELL A REPEAT... AND OF CIGAR SMOKE at the moment. This was not the first time something like this has happened there while trying to watch a game. Its just not a sports bar. GREAT FOR CIGARS and music.

I was having a great time , I went to the bathroom when I returned my shot and beer had been cleared away ....I told both bartenders and wait staff ,and all of them treated me disrespectfully and just said " there wasnt anything they could do about it " Well how about treating your customers w respect for starters !! Great customer Service guys.....I believe in cleanliness....but how much intelligence does it take to to realise there is a full shot and 1/2 a beer that prolly someone isnt finished !!!!! And how much Intel or customer service skill does it take to be courteous to your customers !!!!! I wont be going there again !!!

Worst experience ever! Big guy at the front had a sign that said "See bartender for assistance" so I couldnt figure out who worked there, I saw this girl walking with a drink and I ask her is she worked there. The guy at the front counter yelled at me "Sheshell waiting on a customer, I already told you to wait in line!" All I said was that I was a customer too and didnt need to raise his voice at me or talk to me that way. Then he said "you want to buy your cigarettes here?"I said yeah. So he yelled "Wait in line!" Never going in there again.

One of the best cigar lounge experiences I have ever had. Great humidor and reasonable price cigars. Their house cigar was so good didnt smoke anything else while I was there. Jeff Kelley was simply AMAZING. Great guy and warm personality, very helpful. Made me feel like I was a regular. And to cap off the evening went next door and heard a great band while smoking one more house cigar. Cant wait to get back to Fort Myers and visit again.

Ive smoked many cigars all over the country, and am proud to say this is still my favorite little hangout. The staff is really nice and always friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere is dark and exactly what youd want. They also have a bar and outdoor seeing. Sometimes ill go wander around downtown while I smoke. The prices are average here. Overall, I love this place!

So sad when $5 happy hour advertisted on board out front . Then when you order your drinks ,bartender assumes your a "bad" tipper and decides to charge $6 bucks to compensate for their poor bartending skills so sad I guess you get what you pay for. Used to go there all the time back in early 2000s had great times there Left very saddened by our experience.

Nice little bar with a good cigar selection. Prices are pretty good and the bartenders were a riot. As would be expected, if youre looking for a quiet night out, go elsewhere. This place is for rocking, smoking, and partying.

Only been here once but Ill definitely be back. Live music was awesome, service was quick, has a great atmosphere and the prices are very reasonable. Even with standing room only it was comfortable and a ton of fun!

One of Ft Myers gems. Enjoy a drink and fine cigar at a reasonable price. Relaxing atmosphere and always a good (friendly) crowd.

Great place to hang out and chill in a relaxing kinda den- like decor; if you dont mind smoke.
