Welcome to One of a Kind Put-in-Bay is a one-of-a-kind, iconic place to visit, always fun and always different. A year-round community and summer resort, Put-in-Bay is located on an Ohio island in the western basin of Lake Erie. Put-in-Bay and the Bass Islands have attracted hundreds of thousands of visitors since the 1860s when Jose DeRivera firmly established our island business of grape growing and wine making. People have been boarding boats to visit us ever since, and entertaining guests is what we enjoy doing most.  Most visitors and even islanders refer to South Bass Island today simply as Put-in-Bay. We’re part of a cluster of 14 islands grouped together in Lake Erie’s western basin broadly known as the Lake Erie Islands. Three of the islands, which the British named the Bass Islands, are part of that cluster. The fun starts with your ferry ride. An Eclectic Mix Once here, the Village of Put-in-Bay is just a short distance from the main port of entry docks. The Village of Put-in-Bay has an eclectic mix of Victorian, early industrial, mid-century modern, and nautically themed buildings downtown filled with shops, taverns, sports bars, and restaurants.  We’re certain that Commodore Oliver H. Perry would have never imagined what his historic naval victory off the shores of our island in the War of 1812 would have led to Put-in-Bay being such a great place to vacation. Perry’s ship, the beautiful Brig Niagara which sails out of Erie PA, calls Put-in-Bay its second home. While you’re here you must visit Perry’s Victory and International Peace Memorial. It is THE iconic symbol of Put-in-Bay. Recognizable in ads and publications used nationwide to promote the Lake Erie Islands. Our National Park Service manages this historic site, which continues to commemorate 200+ years of peace between USA, Great Britain and Canada. Everyone who comes to the island should plan time to see the 352-foot tall monument.  Top 5 Destinations Since the early days of steamship travel, our beautiful island has remained a top Lake Erie destination.

Golf Carts/Bikes Once you get to Put-in-Bay you’ll see folks on golf carts cruising the island. The laughter and good times go by our door all season long. Golf carts have become the most popular mode of island transportation. There’s something about the slow pace and wind in your face that brings out the inner child. We love the joy that this represents for visitors looking to create great memories while here seeing the island. The carts come in 2,4,6, even 8 passenger versions so your entire family can share in the experience too. Some can even be rented overnight. Check on the weather before you come, you may want to ask for one with a windshield and wiper. Planning ahead is important. Saturdays can be extremely busy. Luckily, some of our cart rental companies will allow you to reserve ahead online, but be sure to inquire about their cancellation policies. Have a great time exploring the island. You will need to be a licensed automobile driver and while it may seem tempting to let your children drive, it is not legal. Please respect our neighbors, don’t litter or damage public or private property. These carts are lots of fun, but they are for street use only. Please follow all the same road rules here that you do on the mainland while driving your car. Golf carts are a great way to see the island up close, but they are not your only choice. Once you have arrived at your island destination, you’ll quickly realize that biking and walking are very convenient as well. The island is only 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide at the widest point. With just two small hills, walking, using bikes or golf carts are great ways to see it all. Island Bike Rental, E’s Golf Carts, Erie Island Carts, Boathouse Cart Rental, Delaware Bike and Cart Rental, Wharfside, Axel’s Café, and the Park Hotel, all rent golf carts and bikes. Of course you can always bring your car. Just make sure that you tell your island hosts that you need a spot to park. Many of our island lodging partners have bikes and golf carts available to rent so check with them too before reserving. Downtown Put-in-Bay, especially around DeRivera Park is primarily set up for golf cart parking, so you’ll want to leave the car parked and cart, walk or bike to your favorite spot downtown. Put-in-Bay Airport The Put-in-Bay Township Port Authority operates a year-round airport on South Bass Island. The island is serviced by airlines from the Erie/Ottawa Regional Airport in Port Clinton and Put-in-Bay.

Looking for Reel special “too soon” drinks, craft beer and gourmet pub food, look no further than Reel Bar on Catawba Ave. Like the weather on Lake Erie the local beers on tap at Reel Bar are always changing.

Don’t miss their street tacos, fresh salads and hand cut fries served with their all-natural burgers and creative “handheld” sandwiches. Go in any time to check out the “catch of the day” special. Put-in-Bay’s only speakeasy, The Red Moon, is the best kept secret on the island. Located adjacent to the Park Hotel, when the red light above the door is lit, locals flock in for the individually handcrafted cocktails such as the Crescent Moon, made with Hendrick’s Gin, elderflower liquor, fresh lime, cucumber, mint, and soda. House-made infused liquors are seasonal and fresh. Martinis, beer cocktails, bellinis, craft beer, and an extensive wine list round out the refreshments served in this unique setting with antique tin ceilings, period wallpaper and recycled table tops. Enjoy a cheese plate on custom-made crescent moon-shaped platter or a soft pretzel. Please don’t tell anyone, shhhh! MMMM, Bacon!- Breakfast (Lunch, Dinner…) Breakfast at 3 p.m.? Pasquales Cafe serves tourists, cottagers, and locals alike breakfast ALL DAY!!! Their Hot Mess earns its namesake with eggs, bacon, hash browns, and sausage gravy all together in one big bowl of goodness.

Come back to Pasquales for dinner. They feature American cuisine, pizza, and of course, breakfast all day! The Frosty Bar has been serving “beer-joint breakfast” since the 1980s. Julie’s famous homemade sausage gravy-covered Country Benedict pairs perfectly with Ohio Magazine’s reader-voted “Best Bloody Mary”. Hangovers welcomed! The Village Bakery is the island’s only full-service bakery featuring fresh muffins, croissants, and delectable pastries every morning, and delicious deli sandwiches, smoothies and Toft’s Ice Cream in the afternoon. Pauline and Beth have been creating homemade goodness for over 20 years. They specialize in homemade pies and cake and are happy to cater your special event- don’t forget the dessert! For something special in the morning, sit down to a seasonal latte, enjoy the Jackie O breakfast crepe, and a champagne cocktail at the Old Forge Creperie.

You can’t miss that Cameo Smart Car zipping around theisland until 3 a.m. Chicken Ranch pizza after a night out on the island,Yes, Please! So if you’re out on the town heading down Catawba Avemake one of these great late night “ready to go food” hangouts youlast stop on the way home.Serious fun during your visit here may require a piece of Put-in-BayBrewing Company’s signature “Firehouse Pizza” and somethingto wash it down.

For those who prefer soft serve ice cream, the Dairy Isle’s homemade waffle cones dipped in chocolate or cherry are just the ticket. Belgian waffle sundaes, Storm Flurrys, and Slushys round out their dessert treat menu. May we suggest their basic chocolate vanilla twist cone, rolled in sprinkles for added fun. I’m with the Band Live Music is what makes Put-in-Bay summers special. Bands from all over the country flock to the music scene here on the island for the chance to play for our island guests. There’s something for just about everyone. Check out venues like the Reel Bar, where island favorites like The Ray Fogg Show play every weekend in season and the Round House Bar that has been rocking the downtown Put-in- Bay music scene for decades with must see acts like Mike “Mad Dog” Adams and Bob Gatewood with the Calabash Band. You’ll find that many visiting funk, country, folk, and rock bands perform at great music listening spaces like The Boathouse, and Hooligans. And then there’s the island’s disc jockeys that create a fabric of summer sound that echoes all along the avenue. We know they will get you dancing. There are several Island venues whose entertainment includes regular barroom singers or duos that you will want to check out including Mojito Bay, Blu Luna, Frosty Bar, Sand Bar, Topsy Turvey, Old Forge Cafe, The Keys, Fish Bowl and The Crew’s Nest. So be sure to check the Put-in-Bay Gazette, the music venue websites, and the visitputinbay app for entertainment schedules to catch your favorite group’s performance. Put-in-Bay is the place to enjoy some live music daily, so get out and dance…or at least do the head bob!28 Download our smartphone app
