Party Gear

shopping

A night out in Put in Bay doesn't have to be at one of the big clubs; there are scores of bars in Put-in-Bay such as Joe's Place, Skyway, Latitudes, and others that make for a great night out. The majority of these offer food during the day and some also during the evening. But at night the emphasis most definitely changes from that of a restaurant to a busy bar with entertainment, competitions, and customer participation. These type of bars usually close around 2am.

Safe - Clean - Colorful - Good Food - Unique - Good Bars - Friendly - Beautiful Scenic Bay. Most people won't even need a golf cart to get around. The ferry was only a 22 minute ride from Port Clinton. There is free parking a block from ferry & you can drop luggage off first by ferry. We enjoyed each & every place since we were there four nights. The whole town is a two-block square.


Sitting on a patio, drinking a pumpkin beer, and eating Hooligans Irish nachos - it doesn't get much better than that!

Visited again, seems like its an annual requirement. Great beer selections - literally a 'bucket of beer' - about 12 cups. Mad Dog was on a roll; not for the young ones or the overly prudish but funny and very creative. See you next year.

Loved the tiki hut bar, the swings at the bar, and the sand between my toes! Very cool place! Can't remember the name of the drink I got but it was in a souvenir shaker & it was delicious!

Amanda K, TripAdvisor

Put-in-Bay, Ohio... it's a fun place to be; not far off either and convenient and happening. It has lots of options to do and spend some quality time. Water sports like any shoreline town, kayak, canoe, jet ski, rent a boat, parasail, and on and on. Or just lie in the parks and have a beautiful view of the mighty lake erie. Pool parties, sunday classic car parades, biplane rides... So much to do. Rent a golf cart for the day and you are set to explore the island. There is also a good variety of shops, pubs, and attractions to visit.
