Too bad it's a seasonal bar because it trumps anything on the Island. Â Great bar menu, water views, friendly staff, and tropical music on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoons. Â DJ Al is on the dock Friday evening sunsets with shots and a conch shell salute ending the day's sunlight. Â A cozy tiki bar on the end of the pier with attention to the Trop-Rock theme that works so well in the location. Â So glad we live only 10 minutes away!
Review Source:Amazing view of the Chesapeake... tiki bar... cool breeze... cheap drinks (YES!!!!)... wonderful service... Terrific bar food!!!!
I almost hate to give a review because I don't want everyone to know about my little slice of heaven, but Big Owl deserves it. This place has helped me keep my sanity many weeks ;-)
I have been coming here for about a year, and this is one of the few things that I miss about the Eastern Shore. This is the go-to spot for after work Happy Hours in a chill envrionment. EVERYONE here treats you like family--- visitors, regulars, servers, and the owner.
My favorite was the mozzarella sticks, but they are no longer on the menu. Since there aren't any vegetarians options, I get either the fries or fried pickles. Both are great with alcohol, but bad on the waistline (don't neglect the gym). The stand out is their deep fried key lime pie!!!! OMGoodness!!! The damn pie is wrapped in tortilla, and fried! It is so wrong, but oh, so good...
If you ever decide to cross the Bay Bridge, make a stop at the Big Owl! The natives are friendly and the drinks are cheap :-)
This is the first place my girlfriend and I tried on our first venture out of Annapolis and across the Bay Bridge a few weeks after moving here from California. I've got to believe this place gets really hopping in the summer, but on our Saturday visit on a cool, grey afternoon in late April, it was just a small group of friendly locals, mostly boaters and fishermen, drinking, visiting with each other, and taking in a hockey game on the TV. This is a t-shirts-and-shorts casual, on-the-dock bar with super friendly staff and a really great vibe.
The Big Owl has good, reasonably priced drinks, and a nice selection of beers on draft. The menu is small, but what they do they do REALLY well, including the most amazing steamers platter stacked with clams, mussels, and shrimp that I've ever had.
This place is seasonal, and there's only a small inside bar which gets full pretty quickly when it's still cool outside, so bring sweatshirts and jackets in case you wind up on the dock if it's still springtime when you visit. Outdoor seating is HUGE - lots of bar and table seating available on a nicely decorated dock with a funky, resort-like flavor. Live music on weekends in season.
We're going to be back. A lot.
One of the more fun, more friendly bars in the area. Â Super casual and chill. Â Right on the water, which is very pleasant. Â It gets alternatively busy and then empty depending on the time of the evening, but the staff is great, and the owner (I think that's who he is) is always around mingling with guests and lending a hand.
Try the cheeseburger, as it is fantastic, though you may have to wait, as others have pointed out. Â They also have crush drinks made with fresh squeezed juice that are refreshing in the summer. Â A great local after-work spot to grab a bucket of Landsharks and sit out on the dock.
Or just boat yourself over and tie up, somebody is always willing to lend a hand. Â The current going through the narrows can get interesting, and with my buddy at the helm of his boat, it was entertaining having the locals yell out helpful advice as we docked up one night.
If you have a high tolerance for Jimmy Buffet, this may be the best place place to catch a romantic sunset on a hot spring day.
It's a no frills dock bar, with a Key West theme, located right before the bay bridge in Kent Narrows. We were here for drinks which were generous on the alcohol but the bar food looked pretty mouth watering.
The staff was very kind to our tired group of surfers and our surfing dogs too. Will be back for crab cakes.
They have a Key West theme, with Jimmy Buffett music playing and fake palm trees, but it manages to feel less cheesy and more "locals bar". Burgers are good, but if you want one order early & be patient. They pour GENEROUSLY: I even had to ask for a little more cola in my Jack & Coke. It's a TINY place & on a nice day can be so packed you can't get down the dock just to get there! Â
I like to go on an off night when only a few locals are milling around, because then you can just grab a stool, or better yet a table on the dock, get yourself a drink and some good pub food, and watch the sunset at one of the BEST views that side of the bridge.
Great little spot on the water for drinks and food. Extremely unpretentious and an atmosphere that is open to meeting new people. They had live music where the band played on a floating stage covered in sand. It was pretty cool  Food took about 30 minutes to come out, but the wait staff claimed they were backed up due to the Labor Day holiday. They bought me and my girlfriend a round of drinks which was really nice of them. Sunsets are beautiful. My girlfriend is from Florida and she gave her stamp of approval for a great bar out on the water. Planning to go back again soon before it gets cooler. About a 25 minute drive to and from the city...
Review Source:This is a dock bar. Â A real, serious, tie up your boat, dock bar. Â It's small, no doubt about it, but the fun is nearly oversize. Â A warm breeze from the south on a sunny afternoon is just about the best thing in the world. Â True sitting on the dock of the bay action. Â You're not going to find fancy martinis, or foodie food, this is as simple as it gets. Â If you're lucky, you might catch Al and his son having a conch blowing contest. Â Kinda amazing.
Review Source:Crabcakes done just right, great jerk chicken. Â Shrimp skewers were deepfried but not greasy at all. Â The burgers smelled great but we didn't try them. Â Very friendly, personable service, reasonable prices. Â This bar and grill is on the end of a little pier in an inlet off the Chesapeake. Â You can sit at the bar inside, or at picnic benches or barstools right on the water. Â Kind of a beach shack atmosphere without the sand. Â We rolled in on a Sunday night on the way home from the shore, as the band was packing up, just in time to watch the sunset. Â They wouldn't admit it, but I think they kept the kitchen open for us.
