My favorite place in Bonita Springs.
Lucky to live walking distance from this gem. Date night or girls night, it’s the place to be. I have nothing but great things to say about Chartruse….just that you must experience for yourself. Speakeasy vibes and those most amazingly crafted cocktails prepared by some of the most talented bartenders and nicest people. Seasonal menu changes with drinks you can’t find just anywhere. Popular place but the wait is worth it.

We absolutely adore Chartreuse Craft Cocktail Lounge and their staff. So much so, that we held our wedding reception there! The atmosphere is so cozy, inviting, and intimate. The staff is so kind and well educated, and you can clearly tell that they have a passion for what they do. They bring in the best local bands/musicians that suit the atmosphere perfectly. Their drinks are INSANE in the best way possible, with such a variety of alcohols, ingredients, and garnishes. Even beautiful glassware, because who doesn’t love a pretty cocktail? I often find myself learning something new or encountering an ingredient I’ve never heard of, and the bartenders are always happy to share what they know. The menu updates pretty frequently, which showcases their creativity, seasonal flavors, and the care they have for creating amazing cocktails and an excellent experience. The drinks you’ll find on the Chartreuse menu are unlike drinks you’ll find anywhere else locally. They are truly crafting beverages, as opposed to just pouring you a drink. If you enjoy finely crafted cocktails (or even mocktails), we could not recommend Chartreuse enough!!

Chartreuse is such a gem! The staff is friendly, helpful, and incredibly knowledgeable about their wide variety of creative cocktails. They also offer an excellent selection of non-alcoholic options, which is a nice touch. The bar never feels overcrowded — you’re greeted at the door, and they text you when your table is ready. Fresh ice water is already waiting for you when you sit down. The space is spotless, stylish, and welcoming.
They often have live music. It’s a great spot to unwind, enjoy a perfectly mixed drink, and take in the relaxed vibe.

Tucked behind an unassuming storefront, this Bonita Springs hideaway reveals a sophisticated cocktail lounge that feels like a true insider’s discovery. While we did not dine — and it’s unclear whether food service is offered — the experience behind the bar alone makes it a standout destination.
Inside, the space strikes a perfect balance between stylish and inviting. Thoughtful seating arrangements accommodate groups comfortably, encouraging relaxed conversation, while the bar itself anchors the room with a cool, polished energy.
The selection is extensive, but the defining feature is the mixology. Our mixologist joined us tableside, discussing preferences and crafting bespoke cocktails tailored to each guest. His original creations were inventive yet balanced, delivering flavor profiles that felt both adventurous and refined. Equally impressive was the non-alcoholic program — a rarity in many lounges — with thoughtfully composed options that were genuinely enjoyable rather than perfunctory.
For those seeking an out-of-the-ordinary afternoon or evening defined by creative cocktails and easy conversation, this spot delivers in full. Quietly exceptional and refreshingly distinctive, it is a Bonita Springs gem worth discovering.

I just spent an evening at Chartreuse, and I’ve gotta say — this spot is quickly becoming one of my absolute favorites in Southwest Florida. If you’re anywhere near Bonita Springs and you’re in the mood for a cocktail, this is the place to go. It’s got that perfect mix of laid-back and upscale that makes it ideal for a date night or just catching up with a friend over drinks.
The atmosphere is dark, moody, and low-lit, which gives it a cool, intimate vibe. As the night goes on, a DJ usually starts spinning, which adds some great energy — though I’ll admit, the volume could be turned down just a notch. Still, it’s hard to complain when the drinks are this good.
Seriously, the bartenders here are pros. They don’t just pour — they craft cocktails. If you’re going to spend the money on a drink, you want it to be exceptional. And that’s exactly what you get here: top-shelf quality and precision in every glass.
Chartreuse is a hidden gem with style, great music, and cocktails that actually live up to the hype. Highly recommend.

5 out of 5 stars.
Ambiance is incredible. Staff is very knowledgeable and willing to help you find the personal touch on a cocktail, you are looking for.
Live music was phenomenal. Sun State Blues played all the classics and the new titles from indie bands. The whole place is a vibe. Miles above the rest.

This is a gem. Best drinks in hundreds of miles. Insane selection. Kind, friendly, knowledgeable staff. Likely the best rum selection in a long way. The cocktail list is all encompassing. They had chartreuses that I didn’t know existed.

I cannot say enough good things about Chartreuse Craft Cocktail Lounge. I’ve been coming here consistently for the past eight years, and it remains one of my absolute must-visit spots in Naples. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is welcoming, stylish, and effortlessly cool without ever feeling pretentious. The cocktail program is exceptional—creative, balanced, and executed with real craftsmanship—and the staff truly knows their stuff. Service is consistently warm, attentive, and professional, which is why I keep coming back year after year. Chartreuse isn’t just a bar; it’s an experience. If you’re in Naples and you care about great drinks, great energy, and a place that actually gets it right every single time, this is non-negotiable. A true staple and a local gem.

Wonderful! Speakeasy The drinks were very exotic which my taste buds really enjoyed. Coming from California. This is a great change. I cannot say on the food because we didn’t order anything to eat. It was just like a little after drink.. will be back

I really wanted to like this place, but the experience just wasn’t it. Chartreuse definitely leans hard into the hipster vibe, and that’s fine, but the staff act like they’re doing you a favor by acknowledging you. The energy was very matter-of-fact and borderline dismissive from the moment we walked in.
As soon as we asked a couple simple questions about the menu, we got short, almost annoyed responses. No warmth, no effort to make first-time guests feel welcome. For a cocktail bar charging premium prices, you’d expect at least a little hospitality.
The drinks themselves were… fine. Nothing you couldn’t get at any other craft bar, and certainly not worth feeling like an inconvenience just for ordering. The whole atmosphere felt more like a “members-only” club for regulars, and if you’re not already part of that scene, don’t expect much.
Stylish place, sure — but customer service matters, and there are plenty of cocktail lounges in town that manage to be both creative and friendly. Unfortunately, I won’t be coming back
