10Best Says

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 with a wide variety of drinks $5 and under. 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: "Ladies drink free on Wednesday nights."
Best Nightlife: "Parking can be a challenge so take advantage of the free valet service in front of the building."
Bars: "Arrive by 10 on the weekends to avoid a line for partygoers headed to the Sky Bar."

Best for Happy Hour Because: Nowhere downtown Fort Myers can you get a cocktail in the $5 range 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 Bars Because: One building, four floors, three bars, all with a different personality. Where the "in" crowd goes for drinks downtown.
