Had a great visit on 5/12/24. Both the gentlemen working the bar were pleasant, quick and informative. The drinks were excellent and the conversation was quality. I’m new to the city and both bar tenders offered plenty of suggestions to other places to check out. Where to eat and what to do around the city. Atmosphere was very personable that day with plenty of friendly locals also offering their suggestions. Enjoyable time all around. Looking forward to visiting more this summer. Thank you for offering a beautiful place to chill and enjoy a good drink and great atmosphere.

Great solace after a long day at Cedar Point. Excellent vibes and amazing service. Their drinks are absolutely delicious. The fresh squeezed cocktails and frozen drinks made me feel a lot better after missing the ferry… definitely come here if you’re in Sandusky :)

Stopped by paddle bar on a Saturday before sunset. The place was clean, comfortable, & the bartenders (owners) wee nice. We had 2 draft beers & 2 virgin squeezes. If you have been to Ocean City Maryland, you will recognize the citrus presses for the squeezes (or crushes)! Place was great. Good truck outside. Great vibe.

Great view, staff, music, drinks! Beer was very good and great price. Two beers were 11! The music was very appropriate for that tiki type of a bar. It has really good view on a sunset. I would highly recommend to anyone that likes this kind of vibes.

This was a fun place! Beer was good. Live music was playing when we stopped in. It doesn’t have a kitchen but they do have a food truck. We didn’t have anything from the food truck. Just drinks in the bar.

Amazing place located in downtown Sandusky that is a must stop for any age! The employees are always just amazing and helpful in any way. They offer climbing for an amazing price that is fun for all age groups. This is going to be my kids new favorite place to go with their friends. It’s so nice to have a fun inside activity for rainy days that will wear the kids out! They have off street parking available and restrooms inside. Very clean store that also offers merchandise and kayaks/kayaking. I’m stoked about trying their kayaking rentals once the weather breaks, what a perfect date night! Perfect place for those that love activity and trying new things, or those who are old pro’s at the paddle and climbing thing! Highly recommend!
