If you're looking to party in the day time or people watch; the pool was awesome. Grab a lounge chair or jump right into the mess and you're transported to a Jersey Shore-esque atmosphere (but I'm told less Jersey Shore than some of the other swim up bars that Put In Bay offers). When we went on Sunday at 3pm, the party was going full swing and the DJ was great. There was no cover charge on Sunday and my friends reported the drinks as strong and reasonably priced. We stayed there for a few hours, danced in the pool, did plenty of people watching and enjoyed the escape from reality. I'd recommend Sand Bar in Put In Bay if you're looking for the best swim up bar and a fantastic DJ. Don't miss out!

Clean and fun atmosphere. Girl working the bar wasn't very friendly but overall great place.read more

Mojito Bay was our very first bar stop on the island. I will say that we were there in late…read moreSeptember, 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.

Stop 2 on the Put-in-Bay pub crawl. The sand and swings at…read morethe 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.

Ambience is also nice- right on the water with a large outdoor patio. But beware of where you sit- if you choose to forgo hosted seating, you are stuck on the patio. It would have been nice to have that made obvious before we all roasted in the sun. Food was fine, nothing to scream or smile about. But really thanks to sunset duo for some gorgeous tunes for a perfect summer evening.

My friend tried the Crab Cake Sandwich and loved every bit of it. I ordered the Simple Cheeseburger, and although it was a typical cheeseburger (with added bacon), it was cooked perfectly and was as juicy as a cheeseburger could get! The fries on the side were great too. We left there being very happy with our choice. This is a great spot on the Boardwalk if you ever visit Put-in-Bay!!!

We visited this place on a Saturday for lunch. There was golf cart parking out front and it was…read morewithin walking distance of many other stores and bar since it's in the downtown part of the island. When we walked in we were a bit confused as there were multiple bars and food areas. The bathrooms were on the walkway leading to the restaurant. They were small and pretty filthy. One toilet one broken and filled with waste, and the other had toilet paper all over the stall. We were visiting with our dog and discovered, after walking upstairs, that dogs are not allowed on the upper deck. They are allowed on the lower and back portions of the area. We ended up at the seafood bar on the main level. Being from Maryland we're use to seafood with a lot more flavor and seasoning to it. This was very expensive for bland seafood. We also ordered a frozen lobster bisque to-go. (The plastic containers were flimsy and didn't make it back to the mainland before it cracked down the whole side.) If we go to the island again this will be a spot to skip.

We were there in late September so it was super quiet. I loved the big "pay it forward" board where you can pay for a drink for someone and they can claim in later (within one year). We just got drinks, but the food menu looked really tasty. Nate got the hot honey Manhattan, which was very good! We loved the kick from the hot honey. I got a 1oz pour of Blanton's which was very reasonably priced. They have a pretty extensive bourbon menu for a sports bar. Lots of sports team memorabilia, would be a fun place to watch a game.

The kids said it was good and happily ate it. My husband had the brunch burger which was a huge meal. I tried the perch po boy that was large as well. Overall food was good.
