Nightlife & Entertainment
Entertainment options in Punta Gorda/Englewood beach are numerous, and the most popular by far is live music. So much so that most of our restaurants feature live bands each week, performing everything from rock to country, from jazz to bluegrass to trop rock and beyond. And where there's music that makes you tap your toe, there's likely a dance space.
From lively spots with big dancing crowds to tranquil spots featuring a singer with a guitar, to hole-in-the-wall spots hosting jam sessions, to scenic and truly unforgettable spots presenting a range of genres, you're sure to find your perfect musical vibe around here.
Cocktails & Adult Beverages
There’s always time to sit back and relax with a cool beverage in Punta Gorda/Englewood Beach, and a wide variety of places to do just that.
We invite you to discover the many bars, pubs, tikis, taverns, breweries, and wine bars that serve up the good stuff around here, from inventive cocktails to ice cold beer, from wines of all vintages to non-alcoholic options and everything in between.
Cheers!
