My favorite little dive bar. Fun, relaxed atmosphere, very low key and friendly, with many people in their 50's and 60's plus. Old Tiki decor is charming and somewhat reminiscent of a Scooby Do cartoon setting and I hope they never remodel it! Always great food and very reasonable prices. Check out the chili cheese dogs with fries and an ice cold beer. Nice outdoor patio in summer. They do tend to close early, around 10:00 PM on weekends. read more

First time guests and we picked a good night to stop by. First, they have a really nice outside eating area. Tables are spaced well, although I am not sure they were cleaned in between patrons. The first thing we heard was live music, which was something we have been missing since the pandemic started. Ronnie Clinton was the performer and was excellent. The menu is casual, with sandwiches and salads, appetizers and pizza. It was $5 burger night, but the prime rib dip caught my eye. I upgraded from chips to fries. I wanted a Yuengling beer, but they were out, so I settled for a Corona. Food came out quickly and was hot and fresh. The bun was fresh and the prime rib cooked well, but it was large chunks which weren't appealing. Had they been sliced thinner, the sandwich would have been much better. The fries were similar to fair fries and were very good. The only real disappointment was the server. She wasn't friendly and made all 4 of us uncomfortable. She was efficient enough, but it just seemed out of character to have a server so surly. read more

Atmosphere - very good. Although located inland, the restaurant has a tiki bar feel to it. There is a good size outside dining area furnished with at least a dozen tables, most of which have umbrellas. There was live entertainment on the Wednesday evening that we attended, which was very good. Although the servers wore masks and there were signs stating that they are required of patrons, there was no enforcement. Food - very good. The menu is is varied and typical of a tiki bar type restaurant. I had the Philly cheesesteak sandwich and it was very good. The beef was tender, the roll fresh and it tasted great. Service - a little disappointing. Our server made no effort to make us feel welcome and we had to seek her out to ask for everything. Overall Value - Very good. We loved the atmosphere and the food. Prices are very reasonable. There are several restaurants in the Huron area with patio seating (of importance to us under Covid), but we will certainly return to this restaurant. read more

got seated and waited 45 minutes to get our drinks, after ordering and getting our food, we ordered the prime rib dinner The meat was so tough we couldn't cut it with a knife and our server was obseulordly rude will NEVER return to this awful pitiful Restauran. read more

Our first visit. Have to admit we were a little hesitant once we saw the place, but there were several nicer cars in the lot, so we decided to go in. On the way to our table we were greeted by other some customers, nice friendly folks. The service was fine, everything we ordered was very good, and the prices were reasonable compared to any other sit-down restaurant. If we're ever in the area again we would definitely return. read more

Hidden gem. Rustic local spot with great food and drink options. Extremely reasonable. read more

See all

This place could not have had better vibes. If you want a trendy place to impress your friends that you've been to, you probably should be going somewhere else, and not leave your self important review. If you want an honest bar with good food and reasonable prices try this place. Our server couldn't have been more friendly and willing to do whatever you wanted to make your experience better. Sometimes you want just good food, nice staff and a fun, low-key evening. This is a place I would look forward to going back to. read more

Always a great time! The staff is always super friendly and makes sure you feel welcomed! The patio is amazing in the summer time especially when the fire pit is on and running! Food always comes out hot and is amazing especially for the price! Awesome date night or family place to eat! read more

Place is definitely an out dated hole in the wall. Service was amazing. Not a large variety of non alcoholic beverages. Food was very dry.

i'm not from around here....but Kokomos makes me feel like a local. I've been spending a lot of time in Sandusky this winter. Not really a bustling town during the winter months. There are a lot of chains and a couple mom and pops' around here, but Kokomos really hit the spot. it is the old club house for a now abandoned golf course (Keys golf course). The vibe is 'your parents' friends who went to hawaii once in 1974 with that cool basement'. It is like a time capsule, and definitely a local hang out. Bamboo, tiki, 70's mashup. and I don't mean in a hipster sense...in a TRUE visceral sense. This bar has great food at great prices, excellent drinks, pool table, keno, tickets, sports tv, a dance floor - it literally has it all. I can't wait to go back. If you're willing to try something new, talk to some locals, and avoid the chains, this is your place! read more

Kokomos At The Keys - 70c wings on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday ! - Bars Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

After seeing the good reviews online my boys and I were excited to try something new while visiting Great Wolf lodge. This place is very interesting in appearance, very caddy shack my feel. We walked in and waited patently to be seated after no one came to seat us I asked a waiter if we seat ourselves. He said yes I guess , so we sat ourselves and sat for 20 min with no one coming by to serve us. We finally gave up and walked out. I'm guessing they pay to get there bad reviews removed hence why they only have 13 excellent reviews and no bad or mediocre. My 10 year old followed up by saying this place looks like a underground black market and a place people go to get drunk read more

Have been aware of this place for quite awhile - and finally remembered to consider it when we were looking for something low key and casual on an August night. From the outside the place can look a little disorganized. The patio was quite busy and nearly full to capacity. We went to the unobtrusive, slightly mysterious main entry located at the back corner and lower level of the building. Once in the place it is welcoming in a big basement family room kind of way; all kinds of visual things going on in a big space that feels welcoming and comfortable in a slightly mismatched but fun way. They're big on OSU decor and they're the home of the Huron Browns Backers. There was a Browns exhibition game that Saturday night. Seemed to be quite a few patrons watching the game. But they weren't overly loud and it was a nice casual atmosphere whether you were there for the game or not. So onto the food and beverage: They have an extensive specialty cocktail menu. On the food side they offer a little of everything. Many things are on the 'deep fried side' of options. So don't go expecting a real healthy choice for food. But if you can accept that it's a sports bar with food to match, you'll enjoy the choices. (You can make up for it with a big salad and fresh veg/fruit tomorrow!) We ordered a Maker's Mark Manhattan, Spicy Bloody Mary and a fruity/sour martini (don't remember the name). All we're quickly delivered; all we're well made and tasty; and the very nice bartenderess came over about 10 minutes in just to check on the drinks she had made. Our server, Marin, was as smiley and friendly and nice as can be; answered all questions; offered suggestions or personal favorites; checked back quite often - and was an excellent asset to outlet first time experience. Our Walleye Bites appetizer was great with our cocktails. An order of 10 freshly prepped chicken wings were excellent; crispy outside, succulent inside. A corned beef Reuben was pretty classic, generous and very good. A large lightly breaded Walleye filet sandwich was very good; lightly crisp outside; and fresh and creamy inside. Fries are hand cut and done well. Our only 'con' comment would be the apparent salt levels of certain items; overall delicious but slightly heavy handed on the salt - which may have been mainly in the breaded/fried items. Yet overall we really enjoyed the food, the drinks, and the excellent service by all. Plus, the entire menu is quite a comparatively good value for our post pandemic high inflation times nowadays. So that was appreciated too. The place is what it is; casual, unpretentious, welcoming, cozy, and a very pleasant experience. We'll definitely return! read more

Kokomos At The Keys - two men sitting at a table - Bars Near Me - Sandusky, Ohio

Come here if you like raw chicken (& being sexually harassed while you try to return said raw chicken at the bar). The waitresses gets five stars for their hard work ethic despite being wildly undermanned. They are my sheroes. Otherwise, don't bother unless you are 50+, divorced, and then and only then, come for the cheap happy hour specials and avoid the chicken...or anything else that could give you salmonella. read more

Food is mediocre atmosphere is not great. Employees are treated like crap here. They can't keep employees for a reason. Just watch the video how they are treated. This is typical. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zYm9MAZ4MiuF5b1lZUuR42EoAlgGyX6r/view?usp=sharing read more

We're locals so we'll put that out there right off the bat. Even though we live very close by, we have only been twice. Nothing against the place really but I feel that they have their faithful clientele especially during the winter months. I'm not sure how to describe it though. It's a hole for lack of a better term. It's like walking into your alcoholic uncle's basement to watch the game and have a few beers while he throws some food in the oven. There's a bar and booths that your uncle slapped together while he was sobering up one Sunday morning. There's nothing welcoming about the atmosphere. But it is oddly cozy. Seat yourself when you walk in and we were attended to immediately. Service is surprisingly decent and I might go so far as to say pretty good minus the server we had was in a relationship with cigarettes. Everyone has his or her vice I guess. Food prices are quite fair and perhaps cheaper than one might expect. I will say that their fries are really good though portions vary from plate to plate. My reuben was $8.99 and worth it. Marbled rye and stacked quite thick with corned beef. It wasn't sloppy at all which tends to be a problem at some restaurants. $2 extra for the fries though I'd say I received maybe $.50 worth. As for my wife's pizza, it looked ok when it arrived but completely burnt on the bottom. She was ravenous so she did eat a couple of pieces but it ended there. In the end we were comped for it and the cook came out to apologize. And I quote "I thought maybe it was over done but figured some people like it like that so I was hoping you were one of those people." Dude, no. Don't send out burnt food. And more so, don't admit it. Just say you messed up from the beginning, apologize and remake it. I get that shit happens. I'm sympathetic about it even. But don't pass it off like that. Overall it wasn't enough to make me not go back in the future. read more

One of our favorite hidden gems, there's a lot of great food on the menu for a fair price. Great outdoor patio and amazing chocolate martinis. read more

Excellent food, and excellent service! My daughter and I are staying Kalahari Resort and didn't want fast food for dinner. I found Kokomos on Yelp and took a chance based on a couple reviews. Prime Rib dip, Asiago cheese dip, fries, and pizza were all awesome. The two ladies that were working the bar and outside seating couldn't have been nicer and more attentive. The only thing that wasn't excellent were the mosquitoes... and when the server realized I was getting bitten she gave me some bug spray! I will definitely be back before we leave for Baltimore. read more

To be fair, we didn't eat here so I cannot comment on the food or service which according to other reviews, was excellent. The small, rundown building is part of a closed down, overgrown golf course. The only way we could tell it was still operating were a couple of cars in the parking lot and a small sign that flickered "OPEN" in neon. This place was straight out of a Scooby Doo cartoon. At any minute the headless grounds keeper, Mr Ferguson, was going to jump out and run us meddling kids off his golf course. We walked in to the foyer area, became creeped out and left. Again, we did not try the food which was probably really good but they need to update the place a little. read more

A very quaint location. Service was great and so was food. Prime rib was delicious. Has a private club vibe to it.

Great menu here and good prices. Very affordable. Definitely a home in the wall kinda place, but they always have good entertainment on Wednesday's, specials through the week and a fun outdoor patio area and good drinks read more

The food is good and affordable. I suggest the roast beef sandwich. The service is friendly and quick. They have an absolutely beautiful patio that I definitely recommend on a nice day and they have live entertainment on the weekends. Fun place! read more

My family and I went here yesterday evening. We went a little close to closing which isn't usually our style, but Beth the bartender said we were good. We had mussels mmmm delicious. We all had the prime rib special. They were all cooked perfectly and tasted amazing. She even got us some dinner rolls . The best part about the experience was Beth's service and personality. The owner stopped by our table many times to check and even help serve our dinner. It's the locally owned places that make a community. We are restauranteurs and we appreciate great food and hospitality. Thank you! read more
