18 Best Bar & Grill near Lakeside Marblehead

“Their birria tacos are the best tacos i’ve ever had. They always take care of me whenever I call 15 mins before they close and I’m looking for some grub. Highly recommend.“

“We were in the area for 4 days. Cleats was the only restaurant we visited twice! Their outdoor patio is nice with a marina view. The appetizers were great. Foods were a little lackluster. The frozen cocktails were delicious. The second visit, our 4 kids were whiny, loud, and impatient. Our waitress (wish I would have got her name) was so kind and patient with us. She got mom and dad’s drinks out right away with waters for all the kids. Brought coloring pages and crayons. Took the babies binky and rinsed it off after it fell to the ground and brought it back wrapped in a napkin. She was very attentive and kind to our family. :)“

“Best bar on the island. Amazing staff!“

“If you’re in Put-in-Bay and don’t stop at the Blue Marlin, you’re missing out on one of the island’s best experiences! From the moment we walked in, Nick and his team made us feel like old friends. The service was fast, friendly, and full of genuine island charm.

The drinks? Absolutely top-notch—perfectly mixed, fresh, and exactly what you want on a sunny day by the water. You can tell they take pride in every pour. The atmosphere strikes that perfect balance between laid-back and lively, with music and energy that make you want to stay all afternoon.

Nick runs the kind of place where everyone—locals, first-timers, or repeat visitors—feels welcome. He’s attentive without hovering, knows his menu inside and out, and clearly loves creating a great time for his guests. His team works like a well-oiled machine, smiling through the busiest rush and making sure no one’s glass ever sits empty.

If you want amazing drinks, a fun crowd, and service that makes you feel like part of the Blue Marlin family, this is the spot. We’ll definitely be back—again and again!“

“This review is based on a one night stay. The hotel was fairly close to Cedar Point. Was this a five star hotel? No. Was it the cleanest? No. Was it the most modern upscale hotel? No. Was the staff ultra helpful and friendly? No. Was it 300 a night? No!!! I was looking for a decent hotel to literally crash at after 12 hours at Cedar Point. Here was my criteria... A comfortable bed. Check! A decent shower. Check! Less than 300 a night. Check!Bottom line if you don't want to spend a fortune on a place after a long day at Cedar Point and you are going to crash 20 minutes after arriving then this is a great option. The bed was comfy and the shower was hot and had lots of pressure.Just my two cents“

“Great place, that’s all!!!“

“Great. Ambience. Good Pizza. Excellent food truck.“

“I have been an Auxiliary member for over 23 years, serving in an officer's seat for most of those years. I am also serving in office at the state level. Fundraising has been in my blood since I was a little girl. I have learned so much over the years. Sure, join to meet with friends for a good time. However, have you been to a meeting? Do you realize what we stand for at the Eagles? Do you know how much money we give to charity each year? Did you know the gaming machines profits help reach those charity amounts? Back to meetings. if you have an idea, come to meetings. They are the only places you can truly know all that is going on.“

“came here and had a great breakfast. back for a great lunch. simple menu. fast and friendly service. table was available as soon as i walked in. I highly reccomend! Will be back.“

“Great place! My 9 year old had the best time too. They allow kids during the day Mon-Thursday for $10. I highly recommend this place for a day by the pool. The music brought me back to my 20’s -club days. We had a great afternoon! You feel like you’re at the beach here, & in this town. Will return“

“Great outdoor place with a fun atmosphere!!“

“Been going there for years and years“

The biggest problem was the drunk a** pretentious owner shitting where he eats and s*** talking his staff the whole time and not realizing he and her are being overheard by customers. Obvious assholes , gonna have a hard time keeping staff“
