Joe’s Bar Particulars

Tucked away from downtown, this gastropub is located at the end of Catawba Avenue, right next to South Bass Island State Park. Joe’s is a nice escape from the craziness of downtown, located in a peaceful wooded area. There is ample golf cart parking as well as one of the few places on the island you will find car parking!

Order their “famous” Sloppy Joe or the Asiago Artichoke Dip and relax outside on one of their many picnic tables surrounded by fun yard games. Challenge your friends to a game of oversized Jenga or Corn Hole. Before you know it, you’ll have spent your entire day at Joe’s Bar and Resturant.

  • Sloppy Joe’s Dip
  • Signature Sloppy Scotty (split hot dog covered in mozzarella, onions, and their signature sauce)
  • Smoked Bologna Sandwich
  • Put-In-Bay Sin Burger

Joe’s Bar also has a full calendar of entertainment and events. Come listen to their live entertainment including Nick Brownwell and Caveman & Ryan. Joe’s is a wonderful stop after a day or boating or adventuring out on the island. With a dedicated group of regulars, get ready to make this a staple in your Put-In-Bay visits.

In the Joe’s bar Neighborhood

If you have spent the day outside and you like that setting, be sure to swing by (and yes you literally swing) Mojito Bay on Catawba Avenue on your left as you are reentering town.
