New Seafood Restaurant Opens Second Spot Near Fort Myers Topgolf

Oar & Iron Raw Bar & Grill just opened its second location in Fort Myers near Topgolf at 8485 Dani Drive. The doors opened Feb. 19, 2025.

This huge 6,000-square-foot restaurant seats over 250 people inside. A big 1,800-square-foot patio offers outdoor dining, while a secluded private room fits up to 50 guests.

Fresh seafood takes center stage on the menu along with high-quality steaks and raw bar items. Guests can choose from tasty lobster rolls, big burgers, hot soups, and fresh salads. The kitchen team makes dishes for different dietary needs, including lots of gluten-free options.

A March 18 event will feature Pro Football Hall of Fame member Ty Law, who'll show off his Corvus vodka brand.

RAVentures Hospitality, which started in 2014, runs this growing restaurant chain. Their first Oar & Iron made a splash when it opened in 2024.

"When we opened our first Oar & Iron in Naples, it was important for us to be a place where every guest can find something they love and never have to settle — whether it's the menu, the seating and atmosphere, or the service," Jeff Doward, regional director, RAVentures Hospitality, told The Globe and Mail. "We can't wait to serve the Fort Myers community and hopefully gain many new members to our growing loyalty program which can really benefit our diners."

Oar & Iron is open 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday.
