I went with two friends to the event of the "Edgar Allen Poe Speakeasy" at Ter-Tini's. The three of us all dressed in black and Gothic in theme for the event. Our waitress was nice and personable. We all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and all of the fun drinks and music that accompanied each little performance that the performers put on. Exceptional event! Exceptional service at the event! I can't wait to go back next year! Definitely recommend!! read more

The Return of Edgar Allan Poe Speakeasy Part II with four new stories along with four new cocktails. What a haunting and yet mesmerizing experience. It was wonderful to evolve into the mind of Poe. With every sip, we felt the spine-tingling essence of Poe's masterpieces seep into our souls. It was night of gothic elegance and macabre delight. Our stories were The Pit & the Pendulum which had the cocktail Swing of Fate which was a delightful concoction of citrus and vanilla and ginger. The Cask of Amontillado which had the cocktail Montresor's Revenge. Rich amontillado, it was so intoxicating as the revenge hidden beneath the carnival. The beautiful yet bittersweet story of Annabel Lee spoken of the great love that goes for eternity even behind the grave was the Lover's Lament which was a intriguing blend of bourbon Lemonade with a hint of hibiscus which captured the essence of longing love lost by the sea. The final story was of The Fall of The House of Usher. The cocktail appropriately named Roderick's Ruin was dark cold brew with pomegranate juice blended with creamy mocha & vanilla vodka . This beverage foretelling the eerie collapse is the doomed house & mind. The actors were amazing' we felt totally transported into each story. Each tale was performed in such a mesmerizing & passionate style. This is a must for any Poe aficionado. Also any person willing to learn about the amazing and captivating worms of Edgar Allan Poe. read more

My friend and I visited this venue for the first time for a Christmas Carol cocktail experience. Location is convenient - right off of S Cleveland. Space is not huge which is great for a more intimate performance experience. The show was great - amazing effort by a team of 5 actors. Be mindful if you're coming for a show with general admission that chairs are on the floor and are not elevated so you might want to get there early to get a better seat. The venue is also available to rent for an event or a birthday party which is a great option in the area. Parking lot is ok...tends to fill up if there's a show or a special event happening so again get there a few minutes early. read more

we came here for the Christmas carol drink show. this was a fun night out. the only problem with the show was that it was hard to see when the actors were sitting down. get there early because the seats are not elevated. read more

So fun! Had a great time listening to Tom Petty and CSNY tribute! Love my pic earrings! Kevin and his wife way cool! The wives of the band were fun also! read more

We went to Ter-tini's for our first time, and our date night to see The Nowhere Band a tribute to the Beatles. It is a quaint place that is very friendly. The band was awesome the food was great, and so were their drinks. The owner is very friendly, and joyful. It was very enjoyable. We had lots of fun. If you want a night out one of this days go to Ter-Tini's you will not regret it. Go and enjoy the music played by whatever band is playing. read more

Ter-tini is easy to get to, right off of 41, by uber, lift, or drive. Owner is very attentive and very visible at the events he rents to. Food game needs to be "upped," and charging $3.82 for a glass of ice with seltzer is never necessary and very unexpected. Yes, $3.82, odd amount, almost as if the bartender didn't know how much to charge. Pepsi was FREE that night. So riddle me that... 2nd and last time I'll be attending an event there. I don't blame the owner, maybe what's needed is a little training. read more

Ter-Tini's - My $4 seltzer - Dance Clubs Near Me - Fort Myers, Florida

Don't miss this hidden gem! I had no idea what to expect since it's attached to a bowling alley- but trust me-it was a wonderful surprise. The food was outstanding. You need to check the web site because the menu does change with the show, but we had salad, chicken marsala, penne pasta, apple pork loin, vegetables, potatoes and rolls & butter. The doors open at 5:30 and the buffet was set and ready to go when we walked in. You had plenty of time to get your plate, order a drink at the bar and relax before the show started. There is no warm-up band- it's straight to the show. Keven (the owner) works the room and keeps everyone happy and before you know it, your plate has disappeared from your table and the show is about to start. There is a large dance floor and I would say, at least half of the audience got up and danced. This was a girls night out, and it looked like all the other tables were couples, so we just watched. There is only one show a week, they are only open during Season. The bands are all tribute bands, that travel around to various places and maybe you have seen them before. We already found 2 more shows we hope to see in the next month. Their web site says they are also an even venue and I think this would make a beautiful place for a small wedding reception. read more

For a smaller quaint venue Kevin and his team do it up right. The food was fabulous , buffet style ( roll, salad , steamed veggies, potatoes, chicken, fish and prime rib for a extra $5) water carafe at table and open cash bar. The music was phenomenal Johnny Rogers and his band turned it on ( as long as you're a fan of oldies R&R, although that bit of Prince was stellar. Hidden gem in Ft Myers, you won't be disappointed ! read more

If you're sick of driving down to Naples for classy nightclub you won't have to anymore. I was pretty impressed with the bartender, who remembered my name. The place is just opening, and are ramping up to provide an awesome live music experience with bands on a custom build raised stage. If you like karaoke then this is the place to be on the weekend. I met the owner who was kind enough to show us around a little bit. Very nice touch. The waitresses all wear a halter top and tight black pants (like Blue Martini in Naples), but aren't obnoxious by any means. The outside bar is fantastic, complete with a few little fire pits. If you see a favorite drink on the Vodka wall, just ask and I'll pull the bottle down and make you anything you would like to drink. Nice change to the Fort Myers scene, finally! read more

Cold food, bartenders didn't know how to mix advertised Martini and no dance floor. Place for old grouches.

Beautiful inside but eat somewhere else. We came to see our friend's band play and enjoy some tapas but things went downhill after I ordered my first glass of wine. You know how pours are supposed to come to the widest part of the glass? Yeah, this was the weakest pour of wine I've ever received. The waitress even apologized when she handed it to me claiming that the bartender was "a real jerk and hates me." My husband ate beforehand but I held out for some of the great sounding tapas I'd read about on their website. I asked for a menu and the waitress handed me a Gator Lanes bar menu. What?! (Ter-tinis is connected to the bowling alley). I asked her about the tapas I'd seen online and she told me they no longer had that menu but did offer a few items from the menu. Great! I ordered the seared Ahi tuna. The waitress informed me that it would probably take a while, which was ok with me and was nice of her to let me know. A short while passed and I had my husband go to the bar to order me another glass of wine- in hopes it would be a fair pour- which it was. Oh, goody, my food arrived! It was 10pm and I was hungry. Wait, this tuna tastes terrible! If you've ever had old fish then you know what I mean. My husband confirmed that it tasted like old pond water so we sent it back. I decided to be safe and not order something that had been living so I asked for a caprese salad instead. The waitress once again apologized and said, I hope your caprese salad's better, you can't mess that up, right?" A short while later the caprese salad came out. It looked mediocre as did the tuna but I was starving at this point so I dug in. Yuck! The mozzarella was NOT fresh. It had that old freezer burned taste to it- not to mention it came on iceberg lettuce with dried basil sprinkled on top. Even if there had been fresh basil on the salad it still wouldn't have masked the freezer burned tasting mozzarella. Apparently you can mess up a caprese salad! Needless to say, the waitress took it back to the kitchen and off of our bill At this point I just started to feel bad for this place and imagined it being on one of those food network shows- you know, where the chef goes in the kitchen and rips the owner a new one for serving such disgusting old food. . 3rd times the charm? I was still hungry and didn't want to finish my wine on an empty stomach... so bowling alley fries it was and you know what? They were great- the best thing on the menu! They were potatoey, fried and paired excellent with ketchup. Lol The owner came over (because the waitress said that the bar tender that "hated" her didn't believe that she needed all of these voids) and profusely apologized saying they were in some sort of transition. He offered us shots but I don't drink hard liquor so he bought us *one* glass of wine for us to share. I appreciate the concern and apology but for a place that advertises "Using only the freshest ingredients, our chef creates a unique experience with each small plate on our menu. We ensure the quality of our dishes with the quality of our ingredients." there is NO excuse for serving old fish and freezer burned mozzarella. Unfortunately this joke was on me. read more

This place has serious potential to become a hot spot. I go here for the monthly Drum n Bass and Breaks show. Which is awesome because the Electronic music scene in SWFL is god awful if your a true fan of electronic music or an old school raver. Ter-Tini's is a large venue and probably has the best stage area for a band. The seating arrangement is great since they are on the sides and not nailed to the floor in the middle of the dance floor like most places around in Naples. I want to help this place grow and become one of the hot new spots to see a band or DJ. Drinks are reasonable and the staff is friendly. I just drink the beer so I can't review the drinks they serve. They have an outdoor patio area as well that is nice and chill with big cushioned seats. read more

Don't do it. Where do I even begin? We decided to go here for the first time for New Year's eve and from the sounds of the website it sounded like it was going to be a great night! WRONG! Everything was terrible. The music, the sound, the food...all terrible. All for a whopping $100 per couple! What were we thinking?! And as another person commented we had the same sorry excuse that they were "out of olives" REALLY!!!?? I hate giving bad reviews but I really couldn't hold back. If it wasn't for the friends we were with it would have been a total loss. Fortunately our friends were the only good part of it. I don't know how anyone can call this place upscale. I mean really? read more

Entertainment was very good but the food was terrible. No flavor, few choices...I asked for medium rare and got 'well done'. I shared with mc and he told me go back and get another piece. That was as bad if not worse. Come back and maybe it will be better next time. There are many places that have good entertainment, I will be choosing else where. read more

Went to The Eagles band tribute event in DEC 2016, which I would recommend to everyone who had his youth in the times when songs were made with instruments :-)....Had $50 VIP tickets, which gives you the buffet and better seating. The band was outstanding!! Acoustics of the room could be better, but are sufficient. The buffet was great with plenty of choice: prime rib, whitefish, salad bar, warm greens and potatoes, pasta,.... Went to serve twice. Drinks are good but pricy. Very friendly service. Stayed at the bar after the event was over (about 10PM). Good atmosphere. Nice outdoor bar, but was closed due to the colder weather. The only drawback was the owner who was completely loaded. He even interrupted the band a coupletimes and was having a ball by himself. Sometimes funny, but most of the times repulsive.... All in all, we'll be back. read more

Ter-tin's is on the right track. The venue is nice, but I would recommend staggering the tables in front of the stage for better viewing quality. The drinks are SMALL and weak; the staff is great! The food is awful and I would not consider 5 items a buffet. We saw Neil zirconia and the show was fantastic!!' if they step up the food, this will be a great venue for dinner and a show, but at this point I recommend you just buy the show. read more

This place looks awesome on their website! Unfortunately, Ive been trying to contact this place for a few months about having my wedding reception there, never been emailed back or can get through on the phone. My fiance & I decided to go stop in & just check it out, maybe get a chance to talk to somebody. The bartender was very quick with us, like we were bothering him. We got a pitcher of beer with DIRTY , warm glasses. We went to play pool, the pool room was DISGUSTING. I cleaned my own table off, literally. Took the dirty dishes off my table to the bar & asked for a (hopefully) clean towel to wipe the table down. There was trash all over, sticky everywhere just NASTY. When closing time came the bartender literally came and just took our pitcher and glasses from us! I was in shock. Ive been in the restaurant business for 10 years, so i know how it is but this was VERY DISAPPOINTING. read more

We went to see a Frankie Valli, Bee Gees impersonator who was absolutely the worst act we have ever seen. He couldn;t hit a high note and people actually walked out in the middle. He should never have been booked and we will never go back. read more

This place sucks! The food is absolutely horrible. They burnt the crap out of my hamburger. Seriously how can you screw up a hamburger?! The waiters and waitresses are worse, no one waits on you unless you say something. I would stay the heck away from here. read more

Reviews for dining and drinking establishments don't usually come from the hired entertainment, but I make it a point to speak for my fellow musicians. Tertini's is one of the classiest places I have performed in in my 55 years in professional show business. The staff and sound personnel were very hospitable and helpful, the dressing facilities were first class and very comfortable, and the stage quite large and adequate for my 6 piece band. The food at the buffet was excellent. The audience was very receptive and appreciative. And if you like bowling, there's an alley right next door! Bands will be lining up around the block for a chance to play here. read more

We went here for "The Long Run" dinner and show featuring the Eagles 'imitation' band. There are several things to review -- first, we'll look at the meal. It was mediocre -- not the worst and not the best. Not bad for the price but wouldn't go back just for the food. Prime rib, baked fish and chicken in a mushroom sauce, potatoes and veggies. Small dish of salad and a roll. A large cookie for dessert. The prime rib was the best part of the meal and the rolls were good. I can appreciate that they are trying to make the most out of the price of the event. Drinks are purchased in addition to your ticket and aren't cheap -- roughly $6.00 each depending on what you have. The show itself was quite good. We opted for the front row seats, which were about $10/each more. It is definitely worth it so that you can really see the evening rather than just hear it. The acoustics are pretty good but it is all one level so hard to see if you're farther back. The biggest disappointment and annoyance was some older women who had too much to drink and were dancing at the front and coming right into our 'space' and making it feel awkward. One even leaned right into my husband's face and was singing away while being very invasive and dare I say, inappropriate. So best - the entertainment -- music more than voice. Meal - decent. Drinks - okay. The crazy drinking dancing ladies (who were mostly 55+)...might be the thing that keeps us from going back. Maybe have a bit of a dance corner up to one side or something?? read more

This is a wonderful trendy establishment . Attended a dinner dance yesterday and have to say everything was fantastic. The owner, Kevin, is personable, friendly and very attentive . The waiters are great! And the food was absolutely perfect. Hot, tasty, and plenty of it! So good almost everyone had seconds. The band, the Del Prados, were fabulous !!! Everyone was up and dancing!! The acoustics were really good too. Please attend the functions offered there. You won't be disappointed. The Del Prados will be there again on August 31st I heard. read more

Only had one bathroom so if there was a line you had to go into the bowling ally through a door right next to an open gross cost ordinal closet to go to the other bathroom. Right next to the bar they have accordion style dividers to block off their gross miscellaneous bar things is the best way I can describe that. Closed my tab out at the end of the night on my credit card. Got a notification from my bank the same day with the exact charge and tip that I signed for. Got a notification from my bank five days later with an additional charge that I did not sign for. Called them to ask about the additional charge and no one ever got back to me. Don't go here unless you're looking for a scam. But I guess that's what you should expect from a bar right outside Pine Manor. read more

I am not one to make reviews what's so ever, but after reading the reviews left from their New Years Party I felt that it was an absolute MUST. First, I had enjoyed multiple martinis that night with the option of regular olives and blue cheese stuffed olives. Which by far was delicious. We came in a big group with our family and friends, and we danced the night away. Second, this venue I think is incredible considering it is a Mom and Pop place. In this town we strive to help small businesses because we are becoming over populated with franchise companies. Yet, when there are small issues we are so quick to say something negative. Kevin and Terri personally came up to our table to ask how our night was going and just were so personable. I would without a doubt go back to this establishment. It's so rare to ever see family run businesses like this. read more

Went for the "Motown Review" dinner and show last night with a group of people from out of town. Couldn't have been more embarrassed on having suggested this place. Their website touts them as "an upscale entertainment venue" and "Ter-Tini's was named after one of the owners, Terri, and inspired by the husband-and-wife owner's love of martinis". My first red flag should have been when our table ordered martinis and the server told us they were out of olives. Hello....the bar has a huge graphic of a martini glass with olives as a backdrop to the bar. This was 6:00 pm....couldn't someone have run to a Publix and bought a bottle of olives?? Second red flag should have been when the server pointed out that "the bathroom closest to your table is a one stall unisex or you can go next door to the bowling alley for other bathrooms". I paid $60.00 a ticket for a buffet dinner and the "Motown Review". The "buffet" consisted of a salad, frozen type mixed vegetables, boxed type scalloped potatoes, some type of fish filet and what I think was some type of sliced pork. This was all served out of a cafeteria type steam table and nothing was labeled. There was no dressing offered for the salad and no salad bowls ( although later we heard another table say that the staff found the salad bowls. There was no bread or rolls offered. Dessert was a small plate of chocolate covered pretzels that the server brought to the table. There was what appeared to be a manager or some kind of emcee guy running around being very boisterous (heard a table ask him why he was so happy and he told them,"cause I've had 3 martinis".) Not sure if he was joking or not but observing him throughout the night I'm guessing is he wasn't joking. The actual band was pretty good but nothing you wouldn't see at a wedding reception. All in all I would never recommend Ter-Tinis as a place to go yourself and definitely not take out of town guests read more
