I choose the lovely sister in law and Bill's brother Jimmy over Lolo to join us and off we went. (Sorry Lolo, I said she was lovely)
Food - AWESOME!!! Tried almost every app they offer. Winter menu prices were very reasonable. We STUFFED ourselves and carried out leftovers. 
Drinks- yummy. Everything we had was $8
Dockage- very limited. Not bad now if you ignore the "no docking" signs but in season, must be a nightmare. 4 or 5 restaurant slips that are small and shallow- so bow in!
Atmosphere- quite nice. 4 TVs and decent sized bar. Great service!!
I'm a big fan of Mike's North and that will remain my go to in season but I wil be back to The Point before the boat gets pulled in 2 weeks. It was a great afternoon!!
May not eat for a few days now as we were "stuffed to the limit" leaving there. (And there was a lot less pressure on me than if we had put rods out!!)  |
I used to go there tons when it was the old dive ass bar with a tent for a roof. Getting a little pier space was always easy in my 15' bass boat.
Mike (Garlien) and I took our wives there back in the summer for a nice night outside. It's a mere 7 minutes from my house which makes it SWEET.
The summer months can make it hell getting in and out of there. The channel is very narrow and takes a few quick turns, and getting just a few feet outside the markers would be dangerous for a 3'+ draft boat. I've seen lots of poor boat handling end peoples' fun times. Had to tow a boat back to the ramp there at Ferry point when he sheered off most of his prop.
Great place to visit during the week in the summer. Weekends are um.....exciting.
