Menu was small and simple but the food was outstanding. They have the best cuban sandwich i have ever tasted. The waitress/bartender was extremely friendly, helpful, and entertaining. Great laid back place! Will be visiting again while I'm in town!

My wife and I stopped in to meet some friends. This was our first time here, and I enjoyed the cozy feel of the place. The drinks were reasonably priced, and the appetizers were enjoyed by all. The bartender, Alex, was the only person on staff, so she was kept busy, both with our group and the other patrons, but she made every effort to attend to our table. I was impressed with her attentiveness to all of the patrons in the tavern, and the friendliness, combined with the coziness of the establishment, ensured this won't be my only visit here.

This is a semi-open bar in the river district so parking is at a premium. The decor is old and the bartender I had was a young lady and I can best describe her as a friendly ‘spark plug’ type of person. The brew selection is fair with numerous special drinks and at a moderate price. I ate here getting a Muffalatta on a strange roll instead of the round bread and it was very good.
I would recommend this bar/restaurant for the drinks and hopefully you will see a friendly young lady bartender.

Great service, but serving a pint of Guinness in a plastic cup is an abomination. Can't serve in glass due to covid? Why would that matter. You use a fresh glass for each serving. Bar maid has to handle plastic cups just like glasses. Very disappointed.

While taking a walk, stopped in for a bite. It was quiet midday and midweek. Our server Katie was very attentive, friendly. We had tacos and drinks. The food was tasty and served promptly. Moving to the area and will definitely return.

We stopped in for lunch while attending the Ft Meyers Seafood and Music fest. The Bloody Mary's were super and priced well too....The Italian Grinder was superb! We sat outside where the wait staff normally forgets about you, but not here! Hannah was always at table BEFORE we needed her. Great spot for people watching! In a sea of sidewalk grills, restaurants, bars and taverns side-by-side City Tavern is a good safe bet when it's time to pick where to eat, sit and relax.

What's it like on a Tuesday/Wednesday night?
Written August 9, 2016
Tuesday night is Pint Night - discounted domestic, craft and import drafts. One of our least busy nights, no live music. Laid back atmosphere.
Wednesday is Karaoke night with $12 buckets of Bud/Bud Light bottles. Wednesdays are fun. Laid back until 8/9pm, then gets busier and louder with the karaoke and other music.
Kitchen is always open until 10pm.
