Just off 5th Ave. in Naples, Florida Midnight Tavern’s claim to fame is that they offer a quality meal for everyone. But if you grace their double doors, you’ll experience more than just great food, to what some say is an ideal Mom and Pop sports bar.
The owner Jake is on premises and between chatting with Jake and enjoying his great food, one couple sitting at the bar quite simply can’t live without Midnight Tavern, and to prove their point, they drive down frequently from Fort Myers.
Indoor and Outdoor Dining
Offering indoor and outdoor dining, the latter has generous seating below outdoor fans and patio lights.
Upon entering Midnight Tavern, you’ll see that the restaurant is divided into 2 sections. The bars on both sides are long and L shaped. On the left are padded booths, chair and bar seating; on the right, additional seating and room for live music. Spaced throughout on the walls is the Clink-It, Drink-It game: open your beer bottle, watch the top glide through the slats and be prepared to ‘follow your destiny!’
To determine the vibe of Midnight Tavern, an eclectic mix of portraits decorate their walls including Notorious B.I.G., Michael Jackson, Marilyn Monroe, the Beatles Abbey Road crossing, and Willy Nelson.
