14 Best Cocktail Bars near Lakeside Marblehead

“Great place to check out!“

“This is a fun hometown bar. I arrived around opening and it was fun observing the regulars coming into the lounge. The bartender knew them by name, and they’d clearly shared dozens of stories together over years. It was very wholesome and gives a real vibe of being welcome and accepted. It reminded me of Cheers but in the Midwest.

There are a few TVs with usual sports and other programs to view while sipping your drink or eating some well-made food. The selections are pretty varied with a few taps and a fridge full of bottled consumables.

This is the type of place that you want to hang around in for hours. There are some bars and lounges that are skeevy or shady or just give off a bad aura. But Excuses Lounge is definitely a place where you’ll meet new friends and create lasting memories with old friends and family.“

“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!“

“nice atmosphere for a quick lunch break while I was working on the docks next door.“

“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.“

“The infused margarita is amazing! Love the vegan meat option on the barra taco with slaw/house sauce too. Taste was by far awesome! Waitress was so great too!“

“Always a good experience at OH. Fast service from friendly bartenders and servers. Delicious, quality food in appropriate portions. The atmosphere is on point in a beautiful space with a great view of the waterfront, so sit out on the porch when the weather is warm! Also take a moment to visit the rooftop spot for a cocktail and one of the best views in the city! Regularly visit OH because of the service and food.“
