Sanibel Beach Plaza · Fort Myers

The last liquor store before paradise

Grab a little of our paradise on the way to yours. Wine, champagne, hard-to-find bourbon, cigars and every mixer the cooler needs — one turn before the islands.

Phil Everhard, owner of Last Chance Before Paradise Liquors

“Hello, welcome! I’m Phil, your spirit master. I own and run the shop, so I know every bottle on our shelves.”

Rare bourbon & whiskey

A deep, always-rotating shelf of allocated bottles and small-batch finds worth the detour.

One stop before the bridge

Next to Publix in Sanibel Beach Plaza — grab groceries, then grab everything for the cooler.

Custom gift baskets

Tell us the spirits and the budget; we'll build and wrap something worth handing over.

Your neighborhood store

Friendly, competitive, and a little unusual

We're a family-run shop on Summerlin Road, across from the Tanger Outlets and right next to Publix. Locals come for the everyday prices; visitors come for the shelf of bottles they can't find at home. If we don't have what you want, ask — we'll order it.

Tastings run regularly, so you can try before you commit, and our team is happy to build a cocktail plan around whatever you're grilling that night.
