Looking for something totally new in Cape Coral, Florida? Meet Escondido Lounge Tequila & Mezcal Bar, the city’s newest hotspot—and the only speakeasy-style lounge you’ll find around here. With a secret entrance, moody lighting, craft cocktails, and live music, it’s bringing a big-city feel to Southwest Florida.
The name Escondido means “hidden” in Spanish, which fits perfectly. Tucked next to Taco Works in the old Ollie’s space, this newly renovated lounge feels like stepping into a classic speakeasy with a modern twist. The atmosphere is warm, mysterious, and full of charm—complete with a small stage, piano, and cozy seating for an unforgettable night out.
Escondido is all about craft cocktails and creative bites that hit the mark. Their Old-Fashioned is smooth and balanced, while the Connie Mack, The Thorn, and Caffeinated Kiss cocktails bring a mix of sweet, smoky, and bold flavors that’ll keep you coming back for another round.
If you’re a sushi fan, you’re in luck—Escondido will soon feature the full sushi menu from Oise Ristorante, crafted by Chef Brad Kilgore. Favorites like the Spicy Tuna Roll, Yuzu-Truffle Hamachi Roll, and Peruvian Ceviche Roll are beautifully made and packed with flavor.
Every drink and dish here is made with attention to detail, making Escondido the kind of place you’ll want to tell your friends about—but maybe not too loudly, because after all, it’s a speakeasy.
Escondido Lounge is the perfect spot for a date night, special celebration, or an evening out with friends. Early in the evening, you’ll catch old-time tunes or a live piano, and as the night goes on, the music and energy pick up—perfect for a fun night in The Cape.
During their grand opening, Casey Bishop from American Idol performed, and it set the tone for what’s to come—great drinks, good vibes, and a space that brings something exciting and different to Cape Coral’s nightlife scene.
If you’re ready to sip, savor, and explore, make your way to Escondido Lounge. Just remember—it’s hidden for a reason.
