  This is a summer drinking patio with plastic furniture and a VERY small floorplan. The major draw is to boaters and summer partiers. Alwasy seems to be busy during the summer. I'm not even sure if they are open at other times of the year.

  My husband and I went for lunch on the weekend.
  It was very slow but I love the interior it reminds me of home ( So Cal)
  I had the crab cake hot lunch and i've had much better, very bready and they use imitation crab...not good. the sides were potatoes au gratin and greenbeans.
  Greenbeans were very buttery and a little soggy and the potatoes were like the betty crocker ones you buy in the store.
  Hubby got the bacon burger it looked good he enjoyed it.
  The server was very nice and didn't need to write anything down.
  We didn't have drinks though. I imagine this place is much nicer in the evening with a few cocktails.
  The view is great right on the water, the bar is cute and the ambiance is laid back and fun.
  I will be returning, it looks like they have a pretty good happy hour.
  I'll write again after we return.

  I came here with my fiancee a couple of months ago for some drinks and dancing. Unfortunately, when we got there, the weather turned sour and everyone had to move inside, so it was packed. We ordered some of the grilled fish sandwiches, she got a margarita and I got a rum runner. Everything was good. Can't comment on price though, because our waitress completely forgot to charge for our drinks.
  All in all, it's a fun little place with a neat atmosphere. Definitely worth checking out.

  OK I enjoyed the music, and the boats pulling up is a cool idea, however, it is super tiny. Like I'm talking size of my living room small. I feel like with the space they have, they could make better use of the seating arrangements.
  
  Other than that, cool bar, really like the rum runners. They tasted really good on a warm night. I didn't try the food, so this is purely my drinking experience. The view itself should get 4 stars, it is so much prettier than Cleveland, and the people generally seemed happier than people at our bars. Probably because their poverty level isn't close to ours, ha anyways....I think it's a good hangout spot in Erie.

  Ate there on my lunch break. Little bit of a dive but good food. Good service. Neat to sit on the dock under tiki umbrellas at their picnic tables. Definitely a cool different place to eat

  If you own a boat in Erie or know someone who owns a boat in Erie, then Rum Runners is particularly awesome.
  
  You're able to dock right up alongside the bar.  Don't neglect to order the signature drink, the rum runner, topped with Bacardi 151!
  
  Aw, how I miss boating on Lake Erie...
