Mojito Bay was our very first bar stop on the island. I will say that we were there in late September, so our experience was much different than it would be in the height of their busy season - it was super quiet on the island and all of the bars we visited were almost completely empty. Honestly it was so nice and relaxing, and I don't think I could handle being at the "Key West of the Midwest" during the summer months! Anyway, Mojito Bay is a cool sandy beach bar with swing seats that specializes in - you guessed it - mojitos. They have a huge menu of different types so I got the "tropical surprise" and Nate got a passionfruit mojito. They load them up with lots of fresh mint and liquor - they were strong and very tasty! The vibe was so beachy and fun, definitely a party spot when it's busier. read more

Stop 2 on the Put-in-Bay pub crawl. The sand and swings at the bar were fun but the poor attitudes of the bar staff were not. The drinks were average for paying a premium price. My next visit to the island will not include the Bay. Very disappointed to say the least. read more

Definitely a blast . It's more for younger crowds. Very busy and packed but still plenty of room to enjoy yourself. Sand floor was neat but be careful wearing heels. Live music made the night pleasant, speakers all over so you can listen from anywhere. No food, but drinks were priced well. We went 3 times during our stay! read more

This place is probably the best bar on the island. Theres sand spread out everywhere, the main bar has swings instead of bar stools, and they specialize in fruity drinks. All of that makes it have a beachy feel which is a nice change of scenery from all of the other bars. Had a few mojitos which felt weak in alcohol content but tasted good. Every-time I've been there's always a live band. Half of the place is covered in shade, and the other half is outside in the sun which is also nice. read more

We loved it! We were there in September, so it wasn't crazy packed, but it was still really hard to get a swing. There are lots they were always fully occupied, and we were dying to sit in a swing lol. As we were leaving, one finally opened, and we darted in and shared it haha. The sand floor is cool, and there was live music. read more

Swing by Mojito Bay, sit a spell by the bar in a swing, and enjoy strong drinks with multiple flavor options. How can there really be a mistake with this terrific outside bar in Put-in-Bay?! Plus, there is sand around the bar so you if you fall, it is a gentle tumble. :) Our group enjoyed several different flavors - watch out for the high octane, that one is strong! The flavors of other drinks could be a little more potent, but it sure is fun to sample different drinks. There is the required souvenir store adjacent to the bar. And, we thought the plastic cups for our drinks were worth rinsing to take home as a happy reminder of our time at Mojito Bay. Put-in-Bay is replete with drinking spots, this is one we would visit again. read more

Some call Put-In-Bay the Key West of The Great Lakes. Mojito Bay really helps round out that feeling. A tropical oasis if you will. Decorated like a beachside tiki bar, Mojito Bay has everything but the water views. Here you can get a fun cocktail or beer, all while wiggling your toes in beach sand. Tables are well spread out. This is great for social distancing. Music also lends to the feeling. It makes for good background music. Bar menu is extensive. A lot of fun and creative mojito flavors. A handful of the flavors include pomegranate, cucumber, apple, watermelon and dragonberry. There are many more flavors. So much of the menu sounds delicious. All are housemade, and include housemade simple syrup. read more

This was probably my favorite bar in Put In Bay. I loved the swings, the sand and the amazing vibes with the live music. It's a perfect stop on a bar crawl or a destination all its own. I will definitely be back! read more

Mojito Bay - a large group of people at a bar - Tiki Bars Near Me - Put-in-Bay, Ohio

Follows Social Distancing: YES I can't speak to this place on the weekend and how it looks then. I went last Tuesday afternoon and there were 2 other couples there that day. It wasn't busy at all so it was very easy to social distance. There are signs all around the outside space promoting social distancing. There is a large menu of mojitos and they make a lot of these. They put mint in a plastic cup. Muddle it once or twice and add all the ingredients. I get that they make them this way because they are making so many of them. It's just a quick way to make a drink and it shows. Whole mint leaves are left in the glass with some mixers. The drinks are fun to drink, but they are just ok. There were 2 large wood swings hanging on opposite sides of the bar. It looks like there used to be more swings, but were probably taken down because of COVID. I enjoyed taking my flip flops off and drinking with my feet in the sand. Until 3 people came into the bar and sat at a table a few tables away. And 1 girl held her friends hair back while she puked in the sand. I guess if you are going to go big at PIB on a Tuesday afternoon you might as well end up puking in the sand at the Mojito Bay. Right? read more

If your looking for inexperienced bartenders and bouncers that never finished high school, you've found the right place. Located between two superior bars, Mojito Bay boasts having two half-wits staffed to check IDs at all times; you can feel safe knowing that the job of one bouncer is getting done. When you are ready to finish the evening, you can't go wrong hopping to any other bar on the island. In fact, If I had to write their slogan, it would look something like this: Mojito Bay - "Set the bar low with us". Skip this place, or just go for the games then leave. Bad staff = bad experience. read more

Fantastic mojitos!! Great service! Busy but they moved as quick as they could. Will go back again!! Down side is the bees. Way too many and limited seating. We come every year . read more

If the weather is nice, this is the place to come at Put-in-Bay!! Always have live music going along with some amazing mojitos to enjoy. The swings at the bar are every girls Instagram dream (yes, I have posted a photo on them). It is nice to feel the sand on your feet when you are there. I enjoy that it is not a traditional bar and the laid back vibe you experience while you are there. The bartender was even nice enough to share the WiFi password with me. Can't wait to come back in the summer to enjoy some more mojitos with friends. read more

This is my favorite bar on the island by far. The mojitos are excellent and very strong (I saw the bartender do an 8 count). The sand, tiki hut, tire swings, live music and cigars make this the most unique bar in Ohio! Highly recommend read more

Worst Service ever experienced! Unsafe atmosphere. Do not recommend. Very disappointed in management and security. Will be reporting to authorities. read more

They are not baby friendly. They tried to force me to throw away my SEALED water bottles for my 6 month old baby to make her formula because they don't allow them in the bar...I understand if they are open but how do you expect a family with a baby to feed their child if you expect them to throw away what you're using to make their food. read more

If I could give this place less than 1 star, I would. A man claiming to be the owner came up to my wife and said something along the lines of "nice tits baby wanna go into the office with me and show me them big ole nasty fun bags" literally right in front of me. We both couldn't believe it. Instead of punching him in the face, I took the high road and left without paying my tab. Won't ever go back. read more

This review is certainly skewed because of COVID - however, the drinks were decently priced considering this is a main stop for tourists. The live music was a great touch & the atmosphere felt like you were truly on vacation! I do however wish there was more seating available. read more

We love tiki bars, so this was a must on our visit to Put-In-Bay. If you like music, sand, swings and good priced drinks, this is the place to go. We loved the parrot themed chairs, the swings by the bar and the fun atmosphere. My only complaint is the cigarette smoke. read more

Great place in Put In Bay to lay back with the "Island way". Sand under your toes, wood swings at the bar, large tiki grass roof, live or recorded music (depending on timing), oh and tasty drinks. read more

Drinks are ok -- although the Mojito was terrible. I sent it back The staff is not friendly - even a bit hostile. We won't be back - there are far friendlier and more fun places on the island read more

By far favorite bar on the island. I mean what else could you ask for, tropical drinks, swings, sand, AND all in Ohio?! We came here during the day and at night a couple times while staying on the island. They usually have someone playing in the middle of the bar doing an acoustic set during the day, which adds to the fun, tropical atmosphere. Be ready to wait patiently for a swing, or just hover right behind a person until they feel awkward enough to leave. It is a full bar, known for their mojitos. I tried a peach mojito when we went there the first night. It was pretty tasty and I would recommend trying one of their long list of available mojito flavors. Upon the next day with the heat beating down on me I decided to go with a Pina Colada and Creamsicle mixed.. yes mixed, it was amazing!! By far favorite drink on the island! Maybe because is was more like a slushi and I had a swing the entire time :) Prepare to have the best of both worlds including your childhood (swings, sand, rocks to climb on) and adulthood (alcoholic beverages) to combine in this wondrous island getaway bar! read more

Terrible customer service. Charged $14 for a drunk with a SPLASH of alcohol. The bartender refused to remake drink or refund it even though we wanted to give the drink back. Management claimed bartenders are "trained" professionals. Do not go here. read more

Surrounded in sand! Bar swings! The stage sits in the middle of the bar! They offer Jenga (big blocks) to play, as well as cornhole! Mojitos are obviously their specialty ($8 for 8 ounces), but try the coconut mixed with your choice of rum for $10 - they literally take a coconut and pour rum into it.. so amazing. Super fun at night with live bands and Tiki torches! IDs are always checked, so don't complain when they ask to check yours! Wristbands are provided at the door. I always have so much fun when I come here! Full bar, no food. read more

Writing on behalf of my step mother: Kyle from the mojito bar at put in bay twice took a stool from a 65 year old man with a bad foot and said he was not allowed to sit down. I think osha and ada should check and see if they are ada compliant- I think not. Kyle with an orange security shirt did not offer any reason why my 65 year old husband with an bad foot could not sit on the stool. Thank you. read more

Super fun atmosphere and great variety of mojitos and frozen drinks! The orange Creamsicle was delicious

Favorite place to come on the island for music and day drinking! Very laid back vibe and great bartenders! Frozen drinks, island drinks, cold beer! They have live music a lot of the day and Charlie Weiner is one of our favorites! Must go here while at the Bay! read more

Sweet little place to enjoy a drink! The bar has swings to sit on! There are games to play! The floor is sand, so lose your shoes and dig your toes in and have fun! You can even bring your dog! We did!!! read more

I mean ... what can I say about a bar that has swings for bar steating ? FUN! sipping rum from a fresh cracked coconut EPIC! top that off with the namesake mojito !!! Wooo weee drunk janja, toes in the sand and random conversations with random cool people. GOOD TIMES. A couple of tips, if you can't afford to stay on Put-in-bay try to get a trailer at the campground close by. Dont bring your car on the fairy. From the fairy DONT rent a golf cart, you could walk faster and the shuttle bus is cheaper and way faster. Unless you want to tour the island yourself skip the cart, there's no where to park and once you park it you won't use it til you leave, so upwards of $200 to drive 10 mph for 3 miles just to park it and come back. read more

Mojito Bay is my favorite place to day-drink on the island. The ground is covered in sand and they have swing seats at the bar. How fun! It really makes you feel like you are on vacation when you are here. There was also live music already playing when we got here at noon. The service was very friendly and fast, especially considering 75% of the orders are mojitos. Impressive. The mojitos are $8 a piece but there is a huge selection of flavors posted above the bar and boy are they tasty. Mixed drinks were actually much cheaper than I would have thought. 16 oz beers are right about 5 bucks. Definitely a must stop. read more

Fun spot to listen to live music and enjoy outside. Didn't enjoy the cider too sweet. Went during the week and it was pretty calm

If you're looking for a relaxing place to forget you're in Ohio and enjoy a drink, then look no further than Mojito Bay. Bar stools are so mainland. This tropical tiki bar is complete with swings to lose your balance on while enjoying a mojito or two...or three. But don't fret if the swings are full when you get there, you can either A) stand awkwardly behind someone who's already on one until they move or B) sit in the fun colored chairs or the empty, shipwrecked boat by the bar. Didn't have to wait at all to get a bartenders attention (although that may have been due to the fact that my 16 year old sister was with us while we were trying to sit at the bar and he just wasn't going to have that) and he made the best pomegranate mojito I have ever had. And probably will ever have. The floor is sand. The mojitos are amazing. The people watching isn't half bad either. This is definitely a must-see if you're on the island. read more

Alright I loved this place. Spent two nights in PIB for a bachelorette party last month and we hit this place both nights. It's an absolute blast! It feels like you're at the beach with the decor, sand and swings! I love it. The band was decent and the bartenders were fabulous. Extremely helpful, fast and nice. So great about splitting bills and making 18 shots lol. Seriously, if you are in PIB and looking for a good night, look no further! Can't wait to visit this place if I ever make a trip back to the island. Thank you to the staff here! read more

Love this bar!! Love the atmosphere of being outdoors on an island with the feeling of sand between my toes~ great music & bartenders! Sitting on the swings at the bar is always fun I visit this bar every time I go to put in bay read more

Hands down some of the SLOWEST service I have every experienced. People rate it high as being intoxicated and pretending you are on a beach skews true business operational judgement. We went twice over the wknd and BOTH times, left after one drink. No on these seems to care. Avoid it and go spend the cabbage elsewhere. read more

Left immediately. Not giving them a dime. Been here twice before and wanted to share it with my visiting daughters. Pimple faced teenagers carding my daughters who are 24 and 27 a second time after seeing my wife and me presenting our Ohio IDs because they had Washington State IDs. "Why are your daughters from Washington and you have Ohio IDs?" Cuz not every person in Ohio is originally from Ohio. Ask for it once... carded me as a 50 year old man with a full white beard. Come on, man. Probably got busted for having minors over the holiday weekend but not excusable. Rude. Ruined our experience. Lots of other places to go in Put-in-Bay so move on. The Brewery has the best food and every place has drinks without cigarette butts all over the sandy floor. Told them I was going to share a review of their facility and I am a man of my word. read more

One of my favorite bars on the island! I love mojito bay. They have just about any flavor mojito you can think of. They also have sand, jenga and swings to sit on at the bar. They have a side bar they open at night to serve more people and they have jello shots. Great place to relax, put your toes in the sand, and have a good drink. read more

If Jimmy Buffet came to Put-in-Bay, this is where he would live. A beach bar with swings and an old white man playing guitar and singing classic rock, and famous drinking songs. Can't get much better than that! Feel the sand in your toes and enjoy the people watching that will ensue! We stopped in for a drink or two while visiting the island for the day and had a great time! The service was speedy and the beer was cold, which is pretty much all I need to get me in island mode! I just made a rhyme! read more

This place is AWESOME!!! I LOVE the swings at the bar and the whole atmosphere! It's sandy grounds and got a really fun vibe!! A must bar to go to!! read more
