Happy Hours
You're on vacation, and the afternoon is yours. Whether you've spent the day on the water, exploring downtown Punta Gorda, or doing absolutely nothing at all, happy hour is the perfect way to ease into the evening.
Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach has a varied happy hour scene, with options ranging from waterfront tiki bars and casual neighborhood spots to wine bars and upscale dining rooms.
Some run all day, some stick to the traditional late-afternoon window, and most feature live music at least a few nights a week. Food and drink specials vary by spot, but the laid-back atmosphere and friendly locals are pretty much universal.
