The Firestone is a four-story entertainment and restaurant complex in a historic building, facing the renovated waterfront in downtown Fort Myers. An express elevator at the entrance leads to the rooftop, the Sky Bar where some of the area's hottest DJ's keep the party going until the wee hours of the morning. The Martini Bar on the third floor is known to locals as the "Brick Bar", with space for live bands as well as DJ's. The bar has been renovated, and while it still has some of the old rustic feels, it is definitely posher.
Check the website for an updated list of bands and expect to wait in line on a Friday or Saturday night

EXPERT TIPS BY:
Gina Birch
Fort Myers Local Expert
- 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."
- Happy Hour: "The Skybar is closed on Mondays, packed on the weekends."
- 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.
- 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.
