Zookies - Naples

This place is perfect for locals wanting to catch a game! With a large menu, it’s easy to accommodate even the pickiest eaters. The staff is consistently friendly and goes above and beyond to ensure everyone is well taken care of. I really appreciate the daily specials and the relaxed atmosphere.

Zookies is about as close to a dive bar as you’ll find in Naples—it's not quite an actual dive bar, but it has that casual vibe. They offer daily specials throughout the week, except on Sundays, when they serve all the week’s specials on the menu. So if you missed out on the prime rib special, no worries—Sunday is your chance to catch up. This concept was new to me, and I really like it.

We went out for prime rib on a Saturday night and noticed that the price had increased by $10 from what was listed on their online menus. For our appetizer, we ordered potato skins for $13, and they seemed to have used very small potatoes—there were only six. The onion rings were the same price and left us equally underwhelmed. Overall, I was not impressed with the restaurant and don’t plan on returning. The service was mediocre at best.

Not sure if it was an off night but service was extremely slow. Wife and I stopped by to grab a few drinks after dinner from a different location. It took about 15 mins before one of the two bartenders noticed I had been waiting for a while. I think during that 15 mins the bartender washed dishes and never turned around to see if anyone needed anything. A customer that was closest to her had to let her know I had been waiting for a while. Very sad. Wife asked for an IPA, first bartender had no ideas if they even had IPAs, second bartender said that they only had bottles. As we drank our beers, I noticed Taps that displayed IPAs that were never offered or at least told to us that wasn't available. Probably will not be visiting this location anytime in the future.

Great food service and price. Bartenders are excellent. Even when crowded they all work together and no one waits
