The Escondido Lounge is ready to usher in a new, fun and relaxing vibe in downtown Fort Myers. 

The speakeasy is set to open on Nov. 20 on Hendry Street in the Richards Building. It will be signified open by the color of the light on the front of the building. When it is red, the speakeasy is open and ready to welcome guests.  The lounge is located behind Taco Works. Visitors can walk through the Taco Works and open the cooler door, where the two-story lounge is located.  There will be features like a special happy hour, a wide-ranging menu of delicious cocktails and delicious food for a variety of palettes.  A piano will be a main highlight of the space, in which guests will be greeted with a can’t-miss entry.

From speakeasy-themed design — unique seating, tables, bar spaces and more — things like lighting and design will make the location a can’t-miss spot in the heart of Fort Myers, providing a “nothing like it” experience.  There are multiple unique rooms and spaces to enjoy in the speakeasy, including a private tucked-away “Safari room” and a loft area.  The lounge hours will be 4-11 p.m. Tuesday through Friday, and 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
