The Firestone is a four-story entertainment and restaurant complex in one of the historic buildings of downtown Fort Myers. Facing the newly renovated waterfront, the rooftop Sky Bar is one of the most popular happy hour spots downtown. The Sunset Party begins at 4 pm and features $3 domestic beer and $6 premium sunset cocktails. But it's not just the affordable drink specials that pack the place; the Sky Bar is a prime spot to watch the sunset over the Caloosahatchee River. You can order delicious appetizers starting at $6 on the rooftop or take the elevator down to the dining room for a specially priced sunset dining menu. Not long after the sun goes down, enjoy entertainment by the area's top DJ's and watch the pretty parade of partygoers.

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Gina Birch
Fort Myers Local Expert
- Happy Hour: "The Skybar is closed on Mondays."
- Best Nightlife: "Take advantage of the free valet service in front of the building."
- Live Music: "Don't miss the rooftop Sky Bar, where DJ's spin until late at night"
- Bars: "Arrive early on the weekends to avoid a line."
- Best for Happy Hour Because: Nowhere else in downtown Fort Myers can you get a cocktail for $3 while watching the sunset over the water, from a rooftop bar.
- Recommended as Best Nightlife Because: The four story Firestone has something for everyone; dining, dancing, live music, DJ's and a chic rooftop bar.
- Best for Live Music Because: The Martini Bar at the Firestone, known as the Brick Bar to locals, has a long history of great live music in a vintage space.
- Best for Bars Because: One building, four floors, three bars, all with a different personality. Where the "in" crowd goes for drinks downtown.
