Englewood and surrounding areas Guidebook
Food scene
I love eating out and learning off the beaten track gems of a town. Englewood has SO MANY. I hope you take the time to read about all of them so that you can prioritize what seems attractive to you. I share well-known places and others that I've found that only a few of us explorers have noticed "along our way". Enjoy reading. I enjoyed sharing.
Great pub on Manasota Key. Wednesday and Sunday nights are karaoke. Everybody there is super nice, so don't be shy and show 'em your stuff! My "Heart of Gold" and "Take It Easy" performances have been known to bring the house down! You...can...do....it!

Most people I know in Englewood consider Farlows to be among the very best seafood fare in town. I would have to agree, but there are so many to choose from!

Amazing location directly on South Venice Beach. Outdoor bar, indoor and outdoor restaurant - Sharky's has a formal sit down restaurant that overlooks the Venice Beach from above, and also a more casual restaurant directly on the beach with a small outdoor bar. Great fish and chips, shrimp scampi, fresh grouper sandwich, burgers and more.

A cool, casual hangout with excellent bar food. Its right on the bay in Old Englewood. Its hard to find, so put it in your GPS which willget you close. Us locals like it that way, but we like it just as much when visitors search the back roads near Snooks and find it!

This is a super unique restaurant / bar with indoor and outdoor seating. It sits on a large plot of land connected to a Harley Davidson dealership. The restaurant reflects that vibe with classic cars and motorcycles outside and a bandshell where there is live music. The food is excellent and eclectic with unique items on the menu.

This is a seafood store that is best known for its fresh Maine Lobsters which are excellent. I've also purchased other seafood here and its always fresh.

Live music
Live music every night. A most excellent outdoor bar and restaurant. Fire pits outside when its a bit chilly. Chilly in southwest Florida? Well, enough for a sweatshirt perhaps!

City/town information
Venice is just 20 minutes north by car. The downtown is bigger than Englewood, but not too big - very quaint with lots to do, shopping and great restaurants.

A beautiful nature preserve on the bay with a boardwalk that runs along the water and several hiking trails. I take my dogshere and they love it. we have seen dolphins jumping in the bay, not 20 yards from us. One day we were walking on a path, and a Gopher Tortoise was walking toward us. I held my dogs on a short leash and the Tortoise just walkedon by. Ihave great photos and videos of this is you wanna have a look just ask me. We also have seen many types if birds, lizards, frogs and beautiful trees and plants.

Beautiful Beach. To get here you take the northern bridge from the mainland of Northern Englewood over the bay and to Manasota Key to the beach. The road to take you there is called Manasota Beach Road (it heads due west over the bay from the mainland). There are showers here at the public beach.
