    Back outside bar seats
    Dawn H.

    By far the BEST bar in Port Clinton! Local and tourist patrons alike flock here to enjoy their large outside deck seating areas, the small ~10 person interior bar, and great views of a river that feeds Lake Erie...particularly at sunset. Great place to lounge, sip a cold one at a reasonable price, play some games (giant Jenga anyone?), talk to some friendly folks, and just have an overall good time. Just be sure not to fall in the water - yup, it happens, Lol! Tips: *Can be a bit difficult to find. Walk through motel parking lot to reach the water's edge. *If you're hungry, there are a few local establishments that will deliver eats right to your table. :)

    Returning again from Toledo to Port Clinton to hear the incredible music of Johnny Rodriguez at the Bait House, I am never disappointed in the ideal features of that venue. Owner Don met me with the welcoming hospitality typical of his staff. Such a delightful venue to relax and enjoy time "water-side."

    Drink list!

    Great spot to have an adult beverage, meet with friends, listen to tunes and watch the river!
