One of the best things to complement your stay at a Marco Island beach resort is visiting nearby bars, lounges, comedy clubs and small pubs. The fun doesn't have to end after the sun goes down. You can hit the island's sought-after entertainment venues and party the night away with family and friends. Marco Island resorts are surrounded by numerous nightlife parties, even during weekdays, so boredom is out of the question.
Dolphin Tiki Bar and Café
Be ready for bayside parties at the Dolphin Tiki Bar and Café. Overlooking Marco Bay, this restaurant can be found inside the Angler's Cove condo property. Enjoy their bestselling sandwiches, soups, salads, Buffalo wings and seafood dishes. After an intense workout of dancing with live music, you can order their hot-wing basket of spicy-hot barbecue and their Captain's basket which includes oysters, coconut shrimps and fish fillets.
Korals Sushi and Cocktail Lobby Bar
For a night of great food and drinks, you can check out Korals Sushi and Cocktail Lobby Bar at the Marco Island Marriott Resort. The sushi bar will leave you breathless with its column-shaped, 11-foot tall aquarium. Their Sake Martini is a hit among vacationers and resort guests. The bar overlooks the Gulf of Mexico with its floor-to-ceiling windows. Appetizers are served from the hotel's signature restaurant, Kurrents. They open doors from late afternoon until midnight.
Off the Hook Comedy Club
Laugh your worries away at the Off the Hook Comedy Club, an in-house comedy bar of Captain Brien's Seafood and Raw Bar. Get to see your favorite TV comedians live like Jim Jefferies, Steve Ranazzisi, Alex Raymundo and DL Hughley. Mainstay comedians include Jim Breuer, the Midnight Swinger and Chris Newberg. While enjoying the comedians' stunts and one-liners, you can also enjoy the restaurant's fresh seafood dishes at reasonable prices.
Bombay Liquor Store and Night Club
It may sound an odd combination at first but in Marco Island, a liquor store with a night club on top spells fun. You can also look forward to cheap liquor and drinks, as they sell them at retail prices. This is the place to be when you're cutting on costs but still want to enjoy the island's party crowd.
Porky's Last Stand
Porky's Last Stand is famous for their slow smoked barbecue ribs and steaks. Since 1992, they have been the premiere dining destination when it comes to non-seafood dishes in the island. On the other hand, local favorites include the alligator and frog legs, known locally as the Everglades wings. Live entertainment is available during Thursdays and weekend nights. Get ready for dance bands, stand-up comedians and other local entertainers. You can also participate in karaoke sessions and meet fellow tourists in the process. Don't forget to take out the restaurant's Southern Style sausages.
