The World Famous Cigar Bar — Restaurant in Cape Coral

Anyone who knows me knows I love cigars and bourbon so if I ever had a fortress of solitude it would most definitely be the World Famous Cigar Bar of Cape Coral.

Their selection of cigars, bourbon, scotch, tequila or whatever your poison is, is excellent. In addition to God’s greatest gifts to man comes the bartenders and staff. Pick a day/night and I can justify your visit there.

Mondays during the wee hours of the day, you got Eddie, a lone wolf who gets the fort ready for another weekly fun filled adventure of being a patron of such place. In and out behind the humidor throughout the week is our beloved Italian Stallion Bobby who is quick with a joke or to light up a smoke but there’s no place that he’d rather be. Hmm almost sounds like a song. Hey! Guess what, Philly from the city of brotherly “love” will grace us with her presence after Eddie’s done all the inventory while still entertaining our day drinking butts. Obviously for us northerners who indulge in the every day banter, Philly will make you feel right at home no matter where you’re from.

Tuesdays you’ve got our beloved Christine working a double as she takes a vacation away from her post at the Fort Myers’ Cigar Bar location… also highly recommended.

Wednesdays, we have Sam. You know, the one who makes voices for her cat. Funny, entertaining, warm and friendly. Her relief ironically is Philly who’s ready to break chops again, but we keep coming nevertheless cause we love her. Our masochism knows no bounds!

With a swift bolt of lightning from the Greek gods, Paul The Greek emerges! Give him a HUGE hug. Very affectionate guy. One of my favorites whom I like to break chops.

Thursdays, holy cow! The now the bourbon gods have spoken! Philly on the double. How can one plan accordingly without filing for divorce? Thankfully we have Eddie back those evenings to mitigate the chances of the bar being stormed by hungry wolves. Crack of the whip! GET BACK!

Ah, comes the weekend.. Friday our beloved Sam entertains us behind the bar until Eddie and our lovely Faye and Kayla come in. Faye being the best to come out of Texarkana, TX and our own personal Velma from “Scooby Doo,” Kayla. Probably the smartest of all us mopes anyways. Note I didn’t call Eddie “lovely.” Sorry bro. Not today.

Saturday.. too easy, see aforementioned Friday schedule, same staff for Saturday for those of you who had to look up “aforementioned.” Didn’t make it in yesterday, well here’s your second chance! Call Eddie “lovely,” he’s probably sad now.

Paul the Greek is back! Hug him before Zeus takes him back!!

Sundays, Sam is back for our day crowd followed by Kayla.

I mean, what can be better than that for a week. No better time, no better place.

Ooooooh yeah! Let’s not forget our other battle torn humidor warriors such as Kevin a medic hero for the County, Max with his bed head and of course Austin, how can we leave out sweet Austin. Oh and if you meet his mom, it’s SAUCE, not gravy. Ugh, New Jersey.

So long story short. Go there. Leave your feels at the door, come meet some new friends, old friend or just score a good convo with someone you probably have a lot in common with. If you see me, you didn’t read...

I've been a frequent customer of World Famous in the Cape since they opened in 2016. Although, if you ask the people who work here, I'm not merely a customer. The staff at World Famous treat you like your family. They know your favorite drink and they obsess to make sure they make it just right, with all of the credit going to the talents of Philly, Meagan, Danielle and Sammie, with Justin adding a refreshing dose of levity that compliments the personalities of this colleagues. While the drinks are great, the banter is even better! From the razzing about how your sports team is awful compared to their favorite or the lighter side of "How's your wife, your kids, work, life, etc.," it is, in many ways, the Cape Coral version of "Cheers." In the humidor, Paul, Brian, Austin and MJ take pride in what they do in recommending cigars that fit your drink, your palate or your mood. If the night is a little slow, they don't use that as a way of distancing themselves from their friends (or guests). They honestly love spending time talking and conversing with the people that value this place. The atmosphere at World Famous Cape is fantastic and a perfect place to find a little happiness at any time...

Hello, bar owner from up North here. I stopped into the World Famous Cigar Bar in Cape Coral last tuesday. I was very impressed. The air handling unit is excellent, walk in humidor has a large selection. Very comfortable leather chairs and a well laid out bar. As a bar owner I was dismayed at the demeanor of the bartender. She constantly denigrated her fellow employees. Everything out of her mouth was negative regarding her coworkers and management. I sat amongst what I perceived as regular customers. Over the course of the three hours I was there, she gave a lot of her regular customers free drinks and cigars. I watched her and she didn't ring them in. It's a common and odious practice amongst bartenders to give regulars free alcohol to elicit large tips. In closing it's an absolute wonderful place to go, one of the nicest cigar bars I've had the pleasure to visit. Hoping management clamps down on the free drinks for tips practice. I hate to see a fellow bar...
