“Similar to many Total Wines. Focus here is on the local stuff, but they don't have a ton. You can get a few Fort Myers brews, but not a ton. Service and everything else the same as everywhere.“

“Great brewery with some great beer and friendly staff. Place looks relatively generic south Florida brewery, but nothing wrong with that. Open space. They do small pours of everything, and almost all their beer is quite good. IPAs and dark stuff was really good. Prices pretty decent.“

“As I’m a craft beer fan I sought out Millennial Brewing during our month long road trip around Florida. A quiet November Friday evening when we were there so we looked a bit lost in the big space that is the brewery taproom. It’s modern with bench seating, decorated with old brewing equipment and some Large TV’s. There's a couple of pool tables, and a few other pieces of games equipment to use as well. They have a large selection of craft beers on tap covering a wide variety of styles. I had a potent 7.6% ‘Coffee & Contemplation Porter’ which was fabulous. Give them a visit when in town.“

“We came here on 26.12.2018. Another strip mall brewpub close to the bridge to Sinabel. Was quite crowded as a pub quiz was going on and music was extremely loud. Wooden bar and a stage for live music. Brewhouse is in a separate room, some visibility through a window. 16 own beers on tap. We tried the Mosaic, the Hazy IPA‘s and the Imperial Stout. Service very nice and willing to give tasters. All were quite good. Definitely worth a short detour.“

“A cool new Taproom in RSW, with a millennial falcon theme going on. Food truck on premise. Only 3 of their own on tap plus another 11 guest taps from Florida. Beers where nothing special. 4 X 4 ounces for 10$. Only if you are in the area.“

“Located in a little strip mall on the way to the beach. Been by there many times, and finally stopped in. Was really impressed. Good beers, with some interesting variety. I guess they are starting to serve their own food, but I didn't try any. The bartender knew her beers and was pleasing to the eyes. Cool place, I'll be back“

“A real mixed bag. Positive: Fantastic selection that is unlike anything I can find in hometown Toronto. Negative: they neglect their beers & happily sell old beers & damaged cans. Positive: there’s always a ton of new beers for me to try & an enviable selection of seasonals. Negative: they clearly pay their employees shit cuz they are miserable cranks who appear to be high on their own supply. A mixed bag: great selection; miserable employees; terrible care for their products.“

“Always a new beer option to try here, the Sherry barrel aged beers Rock! The bartenders are super friendly and help you navigate the paddle. Food is ordered offsite, hear they may be tinkering with an in-house weekend option. Thursday Jazz night is a really nice option for date night. Explore, you will like!“

“Visited here for dinner on a Monday evening in early November ’16. Small, too well lit, semi-sports bar/short order restaurant. Disappointing tap list, hard to find even a local craft. Settled on a flatbread pizza, sauce was cold, crust too chewy. Crappy top 40 music blaring. Not the best experience.“

“Visited here for dinner on a Sunday evening in early November ’16 while in the area for business. Located in the back of a small strip mall, nice cozy interior with a bar area separate from the restaurant area. Have about ten on tap that rotate frequently, a few locals from Southwest Florida and some craft selections from around the country, Elysian for example. Comfort food menu with some southern favorites and steaks, seafood, pasta etc. Friendly, prompt service. Recommended by the barkeep at Fort Myers Brewing just up the road.“

“Visited here on a Sunday evening in early November ’16 while in the area for business. Roomy, spartan brewpub located in the back of an industrial/warehouse type area. Nice long bar, plenty of tables inside and outside. Food trucks make a regular appearance. Have about a dozen or so of their beers on tap, a few guest taps. Flights available. All the beers I had were solid, varied styles available, some interesting twists as well. Friendly, talkative crowd and and the service was solid and friendly, Worth seeking out.“

“Visited here in mid-March ’16 while on the way to the airport to grab a quick bite and a beer. Not unlike any other Ale Houses I have been to. About 50 on tap, mostly macros, a few common craft thrown in the and a few locals. Even picked up a new brewery on my quick visit - Fat Point from Port Charlotte. Service was very prompt, got me in and out in 20 minutes and I made my flight. The Pot Sticker appetizers were quite tasty.“

“Visited here while in the area for business in early January ’16. Located in a strip mall a bit of a stretch from Fort Myers proper, but well worth the drive. Have about ten of their own on tap and all have a unique twist to them. I thoroughly enjoyed a Cucumber Cream Ale and a Key Lime Pie. Good crowd for a Tuesday night, it was open mike night, so that may have had something to do with it. No food available, but it appeared that several patrons were ordering from a local place that delivered. Service was serviceable and friendly. Flights were available for those so inclined. Worth going out of your way for.“

“Big dedicated parking lot. Most of the beer is the two rows on the far left aisles. You can break up any six-pack, lots of singles. They have several people working at these places and they try, but finding someone that can really help you is pretty tough. Pricing seemed fair, selection is pretty good.“

“First things first: I’m from Toronto, and despite the flaws of this store -- the slow short bus style service from the guys working here, the beer that is past date -- I have to say I loved the beer & wine & bourbon selection here (cuz the variety & diversity & cost -- especially on the wine -- was a lot better than I can get at my stores at home). But seriously, they guys at the counter are so slooooow. Thanks to the other reviews that pointed out how the competition Total Wine is dominant.“

“Nice beer selection and ok prices but what made me mad this year was they were selling Bells Hop slam for $22.99 a six pack where down the road at ABC they had it for $17.99 . Seems to me they were taking advantage of people and I was shocked to see that, In Pgh Pa. It was than $60.00 a case but at total wine $92.00. When you go there know your prices.“

“Modest strip mall brewery tap located in a convenient spot if you’re coming from 41 or on your way out to Captiva. Open space with a high long bar and a small stage for music performances. Only 6 beers were available, though there’s space for more. Bottles of mead from B Nektar was also available. Point Ybel seems to be a little more adventurous with their offerings than other breweries in the area. Most beers in my flight were solid. Their IPA’s in the mold of Jai Alai, a pretty nice representation of a sweet IPA. Service was pretty bubbly. Annoyingly, the prices and serving sizes of the beers on offer weren’t posted anywhere. Prices turned out to be reasonable, but that doesn’t change the fact that customers should understand what they’re getting before they order. No food was available, though customers seemed to be welcome to order delivery etc. Overall, I’d happily return to Point Ybel.“

“Pretty typical small brewery tap room in an industrial park. 7 house beers were available, though I was informed that there’s usually a larger selection. Serving vessels seemed to be strictly limited to hazy disposable plastic glasses, which was disappointing. The beer quality was OK. Some of the lineup was very safe, the kind of stuff that’s meant to cater to macro drinkers. However, a few beers like their black IPA showed some personality and were quite tasty. Prices were pretty standard for the area ($12 for 8 3ish ounce samples). Service was friendly, but very slow since only one person was working the bar. Overall, worth a look if you’re in Ft Myers and interested in checking out the local scene.“

“Nothing special about the ambience of the place a couple of high tops a picnic table but what more do you need if you are drinking beer outside furniture looked like it was made of pallets. Had a food truck out back I had the pulled pork sandwich my wife and daughter had a Hamburg both were very good .on to the beer did the sampler beer was good as mentioned in a earlier post most people would like the beers, nothing over the top just good solid beer had 3 IPAs which made me happy“

“Visited on a Saturday during World Cup. nice ambiance, nice setup, just adjacent to the main road. Open and airy, although space seems like it can get hairy when too many people visit at once. Bartender was outstanding, stopping to chat about beer between customers and also one of the brewers. Beer was very good and definitely worth the visit with a few taps rotating in and out. No food, but plenty of beer and places that deliver. Bartender recommended a nice place for dinner. Very nice experience; I will go back whenever I’m in town.“

“his place is tucked away in an industrial park and was a little tricky to find at first. This is a tasting room for there beers only. However, the beers they offer will satisfy most beer drinkers, even those that aren’t fond of craft beers. I’ve enjoyed all the beer ive has thus far especially the citra IPA. Though it’s tucked away in an industrial park the place has a great vibe. If your in the area it’s a great little hidden gem to check out. Cheers!“

“This brewery is located in a strip shopping center - looks to be about the size of a small-to-moderately sized restaurant. Brewing equipment in the back - glass windows to look through from the front. Nice bar, nice tables, big and spacious. Staff that was working was polite and friendly. They weren’t doing growler fills that day - running low on beer - they’re apparently working on fixing that soon with additional brew days - they appear to have the capacity for plenty of brews. Good selection on tap - they had 6 and a guest tap, they were only out of one beer (I believe they have 7 normally on tap). I believe they opened in December 2013 or January 2014. Might be a place I’d suggest visiting again when I make it to Fort Myers again.“

“Visited this place on a quiet Friday afternoon. Place is a bit out of the way, at least from the city-center, close to a bunch of perplexing gated communities. Anyway - place is standard fare in terms of location - out in a warehouse light industrial neighborhood. Tasting room was nicely sized, plenty of seating, outdoor seating as well. They have different food trucks show up whenever they’re open.

Staff was nice and knowledgeable about their product, so that was nice. There were about 10 beers of theirs on tap, with Saturday introducing two limited release beers that don’t usually last the afternoon from what they tell me. Only complaint I have is the plastic tasting cups - if you’re legally able to, upgrade to glass - it’s better for the beer and you can reuse them. Flight of 4 was something like $6 - not bad at all.“

“I enjoyed my time here for a quick visit on a recent visit to town. Helpful guy behind the bar. I think they had around 8 of their beers on tap and I tried 5 of them. Yes they were poured in plastic cups but they have an outdoor hangout area so I guess that is probably the way they need to handle it. It is on the backside of an industrial park so certainly not a "nice" place to hang out.“

“Well, I thought that I hit the jackpot with the number of beers and ability to buy singles. I ended up with some IPAs that were very old and tasted horrible. I know it was my own fault for not seeing the bottle dates but sometimes they are difficult to find when printed on the neck. Great selection though and I certainly got some fresh bottles as well so all was not lost.“

“This should be a rating for Miller Ale House (I-Drive Ale House) for the one on International Drive in Orlando, FL. - This is a bar/restaurant with minimum selection of beers. Here goes - Ambiance was a sports bar kind of like a Cheddars or Applebees bar. Service was great, the waitress even gave me free samples of beer to figure out what I wanted. Selection of beer was low, hardly any craft beers. Selection of food was much better then the beer. Wife and I split the steak dinner and a crab leg platter. Selection rating suffered due to beer selection. Value was much better then any of the overpriced hotel dinners and bars. I would suggest this place for the value. Overall great experiance.“

“It’s the total wine theorem: if total wine is the highest rated spot in your area then you live in a beer desert. Like the Naples location this one has less gaiety and fewer numbers of beer than a typical total wine location. Of course the advantage of total wine is that stuff doesn’t sit on the shelves too long and they sell individual bottles of everything.“

“There has been a little buzz about this place but they only have a small tasting room open a few odd hours per week and it took me awhile to sneak in. Initially had higher expectations due to the local buzz but my experience was a disappointment. It’s in an industrial park on the outskirt of Ft Myers and a small room with a bar and a few tables. The only food I saw was a bowl of pretzels and a food truck outside that I would probably avoid just from looking at it. There were about 5 of their own beers I sampled in plastic cups and they all were pretty average and most tasted like beer kit brew. Every one I tried tasted like a recipe gone wrong. I’m guessing the crowd they’re pulling in are former Bud and Coors drinkers because I can’t see anything even in the neighborhood of a Cigar City type of product or any other talented brewers product. In addition there was a couple Ommegang beers on tap but in plastic cups it was hard to enjoy them. Maybe it was the plastic cups, I don’t know. I gave the service only a seven cause the bar person was not that knowledgeable about the product.I do know for sure that the Ft Myers Beers were really pretty average at best and I’ve been drinking good craft beer and a self professed beer snob for decades.“

“Finally, a brewery has opened up in Fort Myers. This place is located in the industrial park side of Gateway. This works great for me because I happen to live in Gateway. They currently offer 5 of their own beers to go with a rotating selection of guest taps. They have a mix of solid beers right now, with Tamiami Tan being my favorite. The pale ale seemed under hopped. I’m hoping they soon add a DIPA and Imperial Stout to the rotation. I’m told they are going to start barrel aging in the future which would be awesome! The staff is incredibly friendly and willing to talk beer with anyone who asks, regardless of knowledge level. I really want this place to do well. Best of luck in the future.“

“was here 2/22. Sat outside. pretty good place to go for food and beer 22 taps over 180 bottles. I had the oskar blues old chub. good beer. the bad part was that the beer came with a dirty top and no glass had to wait for the food runner( maybe one of the managers) to bring the food so I could have a glass. my wife and I had the same sandwich the t-bird was very good. went inside to see the decor nothing special I would have thought it would have had more ford auto related theme going on. would go back and bring friend next time I in fort myeres“

“Fat Katz has excellent food to go along with a solid craft beer lineup. All the food is made fresh daily. The vibe is that of a small local sports bar. I really hope this place does well. Fort Myers really needs more places dedicated to good food and craft beers. I would highly recommend Fat Katz.“
