The Firestone Skybar & Martini Bar - Fort Myers (FL)

1 /5 matt A: Went upstairs to the sky bar with girlfriend to order a quick meal and have some drinks. Sat down and noticed all the seats were dirty, the bar was all chipped up, and the smell of stale beer was really bad. It’s outdoors, but you could still smell it strong if the wind kicked up. The high top chairs wobbled like crazy. The decor is dated. The music was hilariously bad. Early 2000s techno-pop. Ordered a Diet Coke which was awful (flat and tasted like dirty water) and girlfriend ordered a sprite and received a really bad Shirley temple for some reason. Tasted like metal. Asked the bartender some questions about the menu and she didn’t know anything. Soup of the day, clueless. Bone marrow any good, no idea. Ordered an appetizer and two burgers. Over 45 minutes pass and our food hasn’t arrived. Finally by the 50 minute mark we see two burgers arrive, no appetizer. Asked what happened to the app, and the bartender, who mind you, was taking pictures of herself on and off the entire time we waited, stated she got confused and didn’t put the appetizer in. Whatever. We try the burgers that are $21, and they were dry, not seasoned, and cold. I’ve had a better burger at a dive bar. The fries were also cold and stale. Clearly just frozen fries being chucked into a wire basket. The bun on the burger was rock hard. Awful food, smelled like hot trash, and extremely overpriced. Will never spend a single dime, nickle, or penny there, ever again. View was nice.

4 /5 Jen McKinney: Historic four-story Firestone Building - restaurant and waterfront rooftop bar with an overview of the river. Serves American cuisine and had a special menu featuring a 32oz steak. I loved the delicious hamburger, fries and honey glazed carrots. Great food, & a fun atmosphere. Indoor & outdoor seating is available. Just minutes away from walking downtown, shopping, theater, arts, beautiful library and much more. Lots to do.

4 /5 Tarsis Gonzalez: We set reservations for our anniversary to eat on a recommendation. My friend recommended sunset reservation that way we could see the sunset as we eat. We were sat at the second floor, which was ok but there were no windows, just the view of the screen playing Charlie Chaplin. The service was amazing. Everyone from the front door to the second floor was sweet and very welcoming. We were sat by the stair door, every time the door opened we got a big whiff of cigarettes and a mix of food which, realistically theres a sky bar so I was ok with. Then we ordered the Bone Marrow appetizer. There were only 2 very small breads and our bone had little to no marrow. We scrapped up what we could because the bones werent thick enough for what we paid for. The olive mix was what I enjoyed on the plate. Then we ordered/split the Tomahawk, That was delish! The Crab mac n cheese also amazing. The real surprise was the Mushroom Risotto. Absolutely amazing. All in all Id love to give it another go, because I dont want to base my experience off of 1 probably off day.

5 /5 Greg Christian: Had a great first experience here last night. Wanted to get out while on vacation WITHOUT the kids and have some alone time and ended up at the sky bar. Our waitress was great with drink recommendations. Even came around with some free samples of Jonny walker old fashioned which wasnt our style but she said YES to that sample of Don Julio tequila. We just went here for drinks but what a great atmosphere and great location. We will be back for sure. 0 stars for food since we didnt eat anything but overall 10/10.

5 /5 Mark Phillips: Marvelous steak - a tomahawk for 2; toasty on the outside, soft and succulent within. Perfect definition of medium-well done. Accompanying vegetables - grilled asparagus and sprouts with garlic mushroom rice - provided bags of complimentary flavour. The Firestone Grill Room was a cool place to eat: good decor, good service and a decent ambiance really enhanced the experience. And with many thanks to our waitress Laci, who was kind and attentive throughout our meal thus contributing to a wonderful evening.
