This was hands-down one of the best speakeasy experiences we’ve ever had. The atmosphere alone was incredible, but what truly made the night unforgettable was the mixologist. I have never experienced that level of service, knowledge, and craftsmanship.
Every drink was made with precision and care, and you could tell there was real passion behind it. He didn’t just make cocktails — he created an experience. Each recommendation was spot-on and unlike anything I’ve had before.
You can find good drinks a lot of places, but this was different. This was exceptional. We will absolutely be back and will be recommending this place to everyone.
Thank you Cage!

Found this little gem tucked away in a little tiny alleyway. We loved our old fashions and expresso martinis very tiny bar took a bit to get our drinks but it was well worth it. 1920 speakeasy theme the staff was extremely kind.

Love the bar and the vibe. Plenty of cool areas to sit around the building including a dimly-lit alley – very cool ambiance! Went on a weeknight. The bartender was fine, but not very engaging. The music was way too loud to sit inside (I think she eventually turned it down after more people showed up), but we actually enjoyed sitting outside. Only complaint is the inside smelled like a bathroom toilet cleanser. It was a little off-putting, but overall we enjoyed this place.

This is hands down the best bar in Fort Myers. My lady and I love this place and when we are out we somehow always end up here. The drinks are always great. I have never tried something that I didn’t like. At this point we have tried every drink on the menu. The atmosphere is fantastic and this place is dog friendly my dog away gets his water on the rocks Bartenders are very friendly and I really enjoy the passion they put into every cocktail they make. Keep up the great work!

If you’re into bars that feel like stepping into a time machine, preferably one where the music is jazz, the lighting is mood, and the drinks are unapologetically classic — The 86 Room in Downtown Fort Myers is your kind of spot.
I ordered an Old Fashioned, because why mess with perfection? It arrived with the kind of care you sometimes only read about: balanced bourbon, a whisper of bitters, probably some carefully muddled sugar, and an orange peel that smelled like someone lovingly squeezed it moments before. Not flashy, just right.
The ambiance matches the drink. The bar leans heavily into the speakeasy / Prohibition-era aesthetic: antique glassware, exposed brick walls, Charlie Chaplin flickering in the background. It has a kind of rustic elegance. Old wood, dim light, comfy corners. 
A few caveats, just so you know: it can get busy (especially on weekend nights), and sometimes waiting for drinks stretches a bit longer than you’d hope. But honestly, I didn’t mind — the vibe gives you time to soak it all in. 
All told: The 86 Room is the kind of place where time slows, the drink warms your hand, and you leave wishing your next Old Fashioned was being poured already. Highly recommend.

Very unique cocktail bar. “Food” rating is for the high quality cocktails. Rachel was great. We stopped by before dinner and upon our return after dinner, she remembered all our orders asking if we wanted the same. Cool place you won’t find “everywhere“ and we look forward to coming back!

While the atmosphere and drinks are good, the staff is beyond unprofessional and rude (seems consistent with other reviews).
Bar was busy so our group was seated outside and one of our guys went in to order drinks for all of us. A bartender took a compliment the wrong way. Later, while we were seated outside, the bartender approached our table to smoke right by the front door (instead of near an alley way or back where most employees would go). Seemed like bartender was trying to provoke a situation by coming near us. When an apology was offered, the situation escalated—he leaned over the seated customer and yelled in their face instead of de-escalating. Police were ultimately called on the employee, not on the customer. To be clear, the guest was never asked to leave until after the guest called the police.
I strongly encourage management to review their security footage, especially the outdoor footage, to see how staff interact with paying customers. Please also review the footage showing an employee smoking at the front entrance and then leaning over and screaming at a seated guest.
This was an unprofessional, uncomfortable and unnecessary experience. Management, your concept is great, but you need better employees.
Definitely will not be returning.

Multiple negative experiences with a bartender
I have generally enjoyed The 86 Room’s cocktails, atmosphere, and staff, which makes these experiences particularly disappointing. On two separate visits, my interactions with bartender Jade were noticeably uncomfortable and inconsistent with the otherwise professional service at the bar.
On both occasions, all seats were occupied and staff were actively making drinks. After making eye contact, I placed a brief order. Jade responded both times by loudly saying, “HI, HOW ARE YOU?!” in a passive aggressive manner rather than acknowledging the order, which felt unusual in that setting. On the second visit, she repeated this behavior while another bartender was already assisting us, and we were ultimately told our drinks would not be made.
While expressing my frustration to friends near the restroom, I may have been somewhat loud, so I left the bar area and waited outside while others in my group asked staff for clarification. None was provided, and service to members of our group was also declined. We left without further issue.
Given the bar’s otherwise excellent reputation, I hope management reviews this situation, as experiences like this can discourage repeat visits.

One of my favourite places in Ft Myers. Lovely bar and vibe. Such great cocktails as well. I really love the absinthe drink they have on the menu. Quite expensive, but its a nice treat out every now and then. Well worth it!
