50 Best Bars near Lakeside Marblehead

“Got blown off the lake and found Jamestown tavern to be the perfect place to get out of the wind. Enjoy delicious loaded tots and ice cold beer. Buffi the bartender was on top of her game. We will be back.“

“Had a great experience hoisting a birthday party here! The food was catered by them and was fantastic. We were able to set up early in the day, and the girls working did everything to accommodate us! It’s very laid back and I’m appreciative of the experience! Thank you so much!“

“Was there last week for the first time and loved everyone that worked there. Super nice and fun people!!!“

“My friend and I were out enjoying this fall day. We stopped in for a festive fall drink. An Autumn Glow and a frozen expresso martini our bartender Cat was an absolute rockstar. The food was fabulous too.“

“Delicious food, a great wine and cocktail selection and a beautiful atmosphere! The Canoe Club is one of our absolute favorites and a must stop if you are in the area! We ate there last night and we were waited on by Ally, who was one of the best servers we have had! Thank you Canoe Club for always being a fantastic dining experience!“

“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. :)“

“really nice little bar off the beaten path...“

“Best cocktails with the best bartender! Love this place!“

“Patina Porch has become one of our absolute favorite places. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is airy, welcoming, and full of charm. The staff are just as warm as the space itself. They’re always happy to adjust things to your tastes, and as someone with a gluten allergy, it means a lot that they genuinely take it seriously and go out of their way to make sure I’m taken care of. My fiancé Chad and I also love browsing the beautiful antiques, upcycled items, and plants. It makes every visit feel like a little experience beyond just stopping in. Over time, the staff have become friends, and we’ve even met new friends along the way while spending time there. It’s also one of our favorite places to bring people who are visiting or to introduce friends to, because we know they’ll love it as much as we do. We also love their trivia nights on Thursdays. It’s always a fun reason to come back and spend time there. Patina Porch is one of those rare places that feels both special and comfortable at the same time, and we’re always happy to come back.“

“The wings are fantastic, I’ll need to go back for the other menu items, but if the wings are that good then I’m sure everything else is too.“

“We walked in the door to Old Dutch Tavern and were told its open seating sit anywhere we'd like. We chose a table in the back and found ourselves never missed on rounds. The waitress couldn't have been more amazing and the food was out almost instantly. I also haven't had a margarita that good in a long time. 5 stars.“

“Best bar on the island. Amazing staff!“

“My daughter and I came in this afternoon after volunteering for the iron man we were starving… we sat at another downtown restaurant for over 20 minutes being completely ignored while everyone around us was being served so we ended up leaving and coming here… we sat outside a women greeted us at the door apologized and said there was only one server outside so it might be a minute.. which was amazing considering the last place we were at. We had a guy server can’t remember his name but he was great.. even though we did wait for a minute it was okay because we were acknowledged and not ignored. Server was super friendly and nice the food was DELICIOUS! 10/10 experience, we will definitely be back!“

“Awesome little neighborhood tavern!!“

“Awesome local hang out! Love this place.“

“Great food!! The chicken, bacon, ranch and pepperoni pizza sticks are amazing!“

“Logan is the best! We had a group of 18 outside tonight and he did amazing. The food was incredible as well! Highly recommended!“

“Very good food and waitress was nice.“

“Kozys Bar & Grill is a place you can go to anytime of the day for a bite to eat, a drink or both. Feel like dancing step on the dance floor and let your hair down. Food is amazing and drinks are good too. If its a special drink that's not normally made. They will look it up and make it for you. Event nights are fun, relaxing, and full of laughter. Most of all a good time. Open for parties, showers, meetings, and more. Book your next event with her. Congratulations again on your one year🎊🎉🥳“

“This is an old school neighborhood bar with excellent food. Thurssday's Wing Night is a hidden gem with Candra on the fryer knowing exactly how to make them and Ashley serving up awesome drinks. Worth the price, drive, and if you suck as person the attitude!“

“OMG! 1st time here and THEE best burger I've ever had! Get ya Bedrock Burger from Brea! She cooks "with ❤"!! Thank you girl, Brea was so cool to talk to! We'll definitely be back!“

“Everything about this place is just awesome. It’s an atmosphere that you won’t find anywhere else on the island! Staff, food, pricing, absolutely everything is wonderful and it makes me wish I lived closer so I could return more often!“

“Great browns backer bar and friendly and fun atmosphere“

“Visited last weekend and Reel Bar was the crowd favorite amongst our crew. We asked the kids what their favorite food/drink was and they all said their food (royal red shrimp, chicken sandwich, lobster rolls, and the french fries especially) was at Reel Bar and they loved their mocktail selection. The adults thoroughly enjoyed our fresh squeezed grapefruit and Tito’s also. Service was excellent and all the staff are extremely friendly! Highly recommend the royal red shrimp, was cooked to perfection and so delicious!“

“My family and I come out on the occasional Saturday, usually sundays for rides on our Harleys. We patronize most bar and grills along the way. Never have we been in fights, arguments, or any type of disturbances, but yesterday I encountered 6 police officers and two undercover lady cops leading me out of this place due to a customer saying I was armed and dangerous. The most embarrassing thing due to us having family in from Columbus and being treated like we did something wrong.i will say the owner definitely 👍🏽 stood her ground and made sure the police knew we was welcome there also let them know we are not a disruptive group thank u so much we appreciate you … and the security guard was in shock considering he talked to everyone of us and only had good things to say about our group. But the establishment gets 100 stars from me“

“Had a great time at Margarita on the Rocks! The atmosphere was fun, the drinks were delicious, and the service was excellent. A special shoutout to Rachel, the bartender—she was friendly, attentive, and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend stopping by!“

“not sure if they have food, never ate there, but awesome swim up bar, great view of the lake, good place to get away from the families with kids and relax

Kid-friendliness: not kid friendly, you have to be 21 and show ID to enter the area“

“We visited the Red Moon on my first trip to Put-In-Bay this weekend. The drinks are very creative and delicious. The atmosphere was very dark and moody. The music wasn’t too loud. It was easy to chat. The staff was excellent. I would highly recommend this speakeasy, especially if you’re not looking for a party place but more of a relaxing drink.“

“This was one of our best experiences at The Breakers because of Santiago and his twin brother Gabriel. These two gracious gentlemen provided absolutely delightful service during our stay on the beach. In a world where it seems that people have forgotten how to be kind to each other, these two are joyful reminder of how we all should treat each other. The Breakers is very lucky to be represented by these two.

“Came in after a long day of rollercoaster riding at cedar point and enjoyed drink or two on the dancefloor with awesome mixes from our dj who's birthday it was!!!alphademik. Walked right from our cedar point express hotel and felt very safe, the whole tiki theme inside is super fun and the lights on the dance floor got us dancing in no time! There was a five dollar cover at the door, super reasonable for the fun inside. We cannot wait to come back to this bar again with more friends to party! 🎉“

“Awesome pizza and Italian sub Bartenders are great inside and out Joe and Dean are the best ❤️❤️“

“I love the atmosphere here & the Owner is amazing. Best Soup & Salad Bar in Sandusky“

“Love the location. I could spend most day here, watching the boats come and go. Great location. Great staff. Very warm and welcoming. Was our first trip out here and I just cant get enough of this place. Great drinks. Just enough food available. Yes I would like more. Cant wait for our next trip north.“

“Great Bar. clean, friendly and great prices!“

“Love it when it’s open. Beer in a boot and great food. Fun atmosphere.“

“The Crab legs are my absolute favorite! I get them every time I go to cedar point! Must try!“

“So many great beers. Its hard to choose. Saying the food was made fresh and delicious is an understatement! So good we came back the next week and ordered the exact same thing. Can you please expand your business to more locations? We need one in the cleveland area.“

“We enjoyed a family dinner this past November at Twisted 3. Tracy was very sweet to help me to plan my event in their Side Room. My party of 20 enjoyed a great variety of well-made delicious food choices! Our little kids enjoyed the extra space to run around with their ‘extra energy.’ What a fine restaurant this most certainly is!!!“

“food was awesome, had the Reuben and onion rings, hubby had the fish and chips. also had a Jameson peach tea, very good!! staff friendly and attentive.“

“JaxBar has the perfect atmosphere if you’re looking for a quaint local experience. The bar itself is small in size making it easy to be a part of the conversation. Although it’s small it contains plenty of character and characters. Proper drinks from friendly bartenders surrounded by plenty of locals that seemed to become your friends as soon as you walk in. Jax is always doing something to help their local community as well. Another great reason to visit.“

“thanks craig for shearing ---yes your dad was a good man and he made sure No one took advantage of the dancers. He would tell you to leave if you got out of hand, i know“

“Delicious hot food with amazing service. Will return!“

“The Island House staff is always awesome! Great food, drinks and atmosphere. Shout out to Erica - one of my favorite bartenders on the island. She and Joe (at the Caddy Shack) are the best!“

“The staff was super friendly! One of the bartenders helped me sample a cider on draft that was seasonal. Some kind of brown sugar donuts or something? It was SO GOOD! I bought one and loved it. I would love to know the exact name and company for the fall cider!“

“Delicious Food and nice views of the Lake.😎❤️“

“Great place, that’s all!!!“

“We visited last week while renting a condo about a block from Tony's for a week. We found this place by accident, just strolling thru town. Our son wanted wings and it was the first place with a menu our family of 4 could all agree upon. We came in from the back and up the patio to enter and weren't sure what to put expect. We were impressed with the interior and that it was the first restaurant (4th overall in Sandusky on our trip) with an adequate cooling system. We were all impressed with our choices. My husband had the Greek cheesesteak and loved it. I couldn't decide between the mac & cheese hot dog or the French Dip. Our server JP a suggested the French Dip and I have to say it is one of the best I've ever had. I think their seasoned mayo is what makes their sandwiches! The daughter and I both got the mac and cheese. She said it was the best mac & cheese she's ever had and she's never impressed. If we are ever back in Sandusky, we're definitely coming back!“
