For my friends and family that are fleeing the north and the snow and ice, I figured that I'd create some notes of the places to go and not go when you are visiting.
For those of you that like an occasional drink, The Pub is a must. This is an English pub and is wonderfully decorated. There are a few pubs in the area but this one has the best beverage selection. If you go to the link above and check out their menu, you will see 5 pages of beers, English, Scottish, Irish, European, Blended, American and other. You can go every night of the week and get something different. The bartenders also have a sheet of bottled beer selections from Europe that aren't even on the menu.
If you are a scotch drinker, they have an entire page dedicated to single malt scotches and another page for the bourbon drinkers. A bartender offered me a Japanese scotch that wasn't listed on the menu. I already had a drink and I was afraid to ask the price. Maybe next time since as you know I am such a big drinker (lol).
Oh the food. Yes the food is good pub food so you can make it a complete night there. Venita had 2 appetizers which were on special during happy hour, the Tuna, sushi was to die for and the wings were tasty. I tried the shepherds pie which was filling. I've had the burgers there as well and they were good.
If you are going on a Friday or Saturday night, plan on a wait if you are not going early and the seating outside is very nice. The woodwork on the bar is a must see so have a great time and if you are planning on trying the beverages, Yellow Cab can be reached at 239-659-0800 for the ride home.

Sunset Cruise on the Sweet Liberty Catamaran
http://sweetliberty.com/
When you are visiting Naples and want to take advantage of watching a beautiful sunset over the Gulf of Mexico, take a sunset cruise on the Sweet Liberty. Venita and I have been on the catamaran twice and it was enchanting both times, could have been the company.
There are other sunset cruises that we haven't tried which are supposed to be good and some include dinner however Venita and I wanted the sailing experience. It's totally casual. If you are not wearing shorts, you are over dressed. You can bring your own cooler with anything you want to drink. We had a bottle of wine and some cheese and crackers and it tastes much better on a sailboat.
The cruise leaves at different times depending on what time sunset is that day so it's best to call for times and definitely make a reservation. It's easy to find and if you can't find street parking near the docks, there is a free parking lot one block north on a side street.
The cruise starts with an hour tour of Naples Bay and the multi million dollar mansions lining the bay. I particularly like the one where the guy's yacht was so big it was blocking his view so he bought the place next to him to keep the boat next door. After you get through the bay and see some dolphins and bald eagles which nest in the area, you go out into the gulf and they put up the sails, turn on the rock and roll and sail until the sun goes down.
This is a must for those of you who want a real Florida vacation sunset experience.
