I love this place more off season than in the middle of summer. Great local place reasonably priced. Patrons and staff make you feel at home.

On a beautiful spring St. Patrick's Day you can't have a better outdoor experience then Buoy Bar. You can feel the friendly fun environment fostered by the entire Doheny Family!

Waterfront bar & restaurant in Point Lookout that has good food and service. The location is great for a sunset and getting together with friends/family. It can get very crowded during the summer months.

Been meaning to post this... Buoy Bar is definitely the most beautiful scenic location to eat or grab a drink in the area! The inside seating is great for colder weather with a view... but when the weather is nice, you can't beat dining right on the water. There are tables along 2 docks to eat at. There are also seats and bar stands directly on the beach below the dock. There is also an adult area and a family friendly area! The sunsets are unbeatable if you go at the right time. They also decorate very well and the lights look beautiful! The drinks are good and the service is great with a very kind, attentive staff. The parking situation is an absolute nightmare if you don't live in the area, and the wait times can be very long during peak season. Definitely plan accordingly! If this review was based solely on food, I'd likely give my Surf & Turf meal a 3/5. It was good, but not anything special. The side of broccoli was almost completely raw. Overall, Buoy Bar is such a cool place and I'd absolutely recommend coming here for some apps and drinks and enjoying the views!

You will love the Buoy Bar. During the summer months you can enjoy outdoor dining on their deck or small private beach. Set your chair at the water's edge and enjoy appetizers and cocktails. The restaurant is open 12 months a year with indoor dining during the "off season". The seafood is fresh and the dishes creative. Some of the winning items I've enjoyed are Lobster Salad that is loaded with lobster pieces, fried shrimp dumplings and their surf and turf dinner with lobster and filet mignon. The menu is not huge. The scenery is great and if you have a boat, there is free docking available for diners. Check out the specials. If you are traveling by car during the summer get there early because parking is difficult but the trip is well worth it.
