Joe's Bar and Restaurant

Great dive bar with outdoor patio. Staff and regulars treat you like an old friend. These are some of the most reasonable prices for drinks. Didn't eat in as we usually stopped after brunch and then again before heading back to hotel at night.

Nice beer and liquor selection with variable craft beer options but don't ask for a beer list. You know I did being a beer snob and all. They will tell you lean over the counter and look. I can dig this being the kind of spot it is. Adjust your expectations accordingly.

Joe's DIVE Bar accurately describes the establishment. Not the setting we sought for dinner

We didn't eat there so can't speak to the quality of food. However, bartender was lacking of any social skills. Didn't make you feel welcome at all. We observed two young men working in the kitchen repeatedly dipping their bare hands in a bucket of shredded cheese and putting in their mouths. The sign outside indicated the board of health prohibits dogs however there was a dog seated in a bar stool at the bar (belonged to someone working behind the bar). The dog doesn't concern me however the lack of hand hygiene in the kitchen...maybe the alcohol will kill the germs!

5 star dive bar!! Lol...this place is awesome. Got the smoked fried bologna sandwich that is Kay and Judy approved...Holy shit i was sitting by Kay at the bar! And what what was she eating??? Smoked fried bologna sandwich! Great place...highly recommended!

Joe's has definitely grown over the years when we first started going it was a little locals spot. We would camp and head across the street for bloody Mary's (which are the best on the island). It is my favorite spot on the island still even though it is much more popular than it used to be. You can get a $5 Holla PBR oil can which is a heck of a deal with the prices out there. They have expanded their food menu and if your like me and sometimes have a kid with you, they have slushies and jumbo jenga outside on the lawn.

JOES. On a trip to Cedar Point we decided to spend one full day on the islands after perpetual indecisiveness. See, I couldn't pick which island to visit and I'm SO glad locals told us to go to Put In Bay because without them, this wouldn't have been possible. I will say that the other islands were more nature oriented and if I had been camping, sure.

Anyway, my day was made the moment I spotted Joes from the back of our golf cart. So much so that we made a sharp turn into the gravel lot and may or may not have almost flipped said golf cart. We walked into Joes, sat down at the bar, ordered hotdogs and chili, and then toped them with chips. Cuz why the fk not. Joes also gifted me a nice refreshing yuengling because I'm a poor sap who lives in a state without.

Also, I'm obnoxious and took a picture with a painting on the wall and the bartender (the cute bartender) told me a very interesting story about said girl. You'll have to get the dirt yourself.


Anyway, you may have plans for the 22 or so establishments (I asked the bartender how many there were because I wanted a drink from each) on the island but you'd be a fool if you drove by Joes without stopping. It was our first stop and while not reflective of the vibe inland, my favorite stop.

Excellent food last night, great portions, the different basket options are fun and interesting. Great place to take the family for a meal. We were filled right up. We would recommend this place. They are a "bar" too, but don't let that stop you if you're just looking for a quick bite to eat.

Best bar on the island. I hope this review doesnt bring any millennial dipshits in to ruin it. Sitting on the patio i saw a drunk dude hit a huge boulder, a drug deal and a kid in the residency living next door fingerblast his girlfriend on a boat parked in the yard. My kinda place on many levels....

A former very old grocery corner store- turned into a bar. Quite relaxing patio, along with a few picnic tables in a yard area. One drink only here, but friendly service. A few customers were really bragging up the Bloody Mary"s - but I don't like them - sooo-lol.

Great bar in a somewhat secluded area of the island! The drinks were poured strong which is always good. But the real reason I'm writing this review is the peanut butter cheddar burger. It was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend
