A bottle opener includes a handle having a substantially circular first bottle opener portion at one end thereof with a centrally disposed first opening extending through the first bottle opener portion to remove a twist-off screw cap from a bottle and can, and a substantially flat second bottle opener portion extending outwardly from the opposite end of the handle with a second opening extending through the second bottle opener portion to remove a pry-off cap from a bottle and can, the second bottle opener portion including an off-set tab at a free end thereof in order to lift a ring-like portion of a lift-off tab of a flip top can to open same. The first bottle opener portion and the handle are constructed in one piece, from a rubber-like material. Engagement members are provided on the walls of the first opening of the first bottle opener portion for gripping and turning the twist-off screw cap. A slot is provided in the first bottle opener portion extending from the first opening therein through the first bottle opener portion and into the handle in order to permit expansion of the first bottle opener portion when being inserted onto the screw cap. The handle includes finger portions on opposite sides of the slot to maintain the first bottle opener portion in contact with the screw cap when the screw cap is being twisted. Preferably, a metal reinforcing member is disposed within the handle.
