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.

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!!!

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.

Our server with the purple glasses was so friendly and polite. I started with a Jameson espresso martini and Nate got a black and tan. The menu is typical Irish pub fare and we were really hungry so it was a bit hard to decide what to get - we ended up sharing the fish and chips (added an extra filet). The Irish touches everywhere were so fun and the bathroom is worth a stop (at least the women's was). The drinks were strong and good, and the food was pretty good - definitely needed salt but otherwise it did the trick. Some of the desserts we saw looked really tasty. I'd come back to this spot!

It has an Irish feel and aesthetic and I honestly enjoyed my Hooley Smash burger especially since it was sitting in a pile of hooley cheese. The pretzel bun was delish and brought it all together. The buffalo wings were okay but nothing to rave about. Just no special flavor. We enjoyed our meal and had decent service but I did get the wrong entree at first with a very empty restaurant that day. We were a table of 4 with a child.

They were out of a lot of beer and it looks like they only brew wheats and stouts. That said, it was the end of the season, so they were probably just running with what they had.

First, the "manager" would not allow us to put the umbrellas down at our table of 7 after the sun had gone down, ok no big deal... but here is where it went down the hill. We ordered (2) Spinach Artichoke Dip appetizers and this was nothing more than cold spinach & artichoke soup that should have been introduced to an oven or at the very least... a microwave. We ordered 7 dinners ranging from Broiled Salmon, Pasta Alfredo, Chicken Piccata and New York Strip. Four of our meals were served and then 2 of our meals were served 20 minutes later and the last meal was served 10 minutes after that. I always try to be considerate especially during these times of staff shortages, supply chain issues, etc., but this server just didn't know the menu and I just didn't feel that the manager was very accommodating with the seating. I am not giving them a lower rating because the Salmon and NY Strip was actually pretty good and they did make an adjustment on my guest check. However, I would prefer to have a good experience and pay full price. I believe that this restaurant has what it takes to be a much better venue, however, it will be a long time before I try this restaurant again. There are so many other fine dining options in Wyandotte to settle for average or below average.

It's pretty small with only outside seating, essentially connected to a little gift/souvenir shop. Most of the tables were taken when we were there, but there were plenty of picnic tables at the part right across the street, so we just took our food there. I got one of their specialty drinks, which was a a matcha with coconut and oat milk. It was great! Matcha quality can vary depending on where you go, but I really enjoyed this. It wasn't too sweet, and the coconut flavor was really nice. I got. Cinnamon bagel with peanut butter for my breakfast, and they certainly did not skimp on the pb! So yummy. The bagel sandwich was also tasty, as was the caramel macchiato.
