GTs on the Beach

1 Bayfront Grille

Located at Dobbins Landing, the Sheraton Erie Bayfront Hotel is at the heart of Pennsylvania’s Riviera. Its Bayfront Grille capitalizes on this location with floor-toceiling windows and a large outdoor patio. Order the Presque Isle Manhattan before dining on dishes like filet mignon, panseared barramundi and Faroe Island salmon. Erie, Pennsylvania, facebook.com/sheratonerie

2 The Village Pump

The Village Pump has been the island’s go-to watering hole since 1983. Cool off with a classic Brandy Alexander (its specialty) before digging into homemade lobster chowder, walleye bites or perch tacos. Kelleys Island, Ohio, villagepumpkioh.com

3 Lago 210

Sit inside or out — either way, Lago 210 offers sweeping views of Lake Erie. The food can hold its own, too. Start with shareables like octopus or nachos before moving on to mains like Buffalo Chicken and Waffles. Better yet, stop by for brunch and indulge in Bananas Fosters pancakes or short rib hash. Hamburg, New York, lago210.com

4 Gts On The Beach

GTs on the Beach stands out as Ontario’s largest beachfront patio — and host of both sand volleyball and live entertainment. The menu features Lake Erie perch, as well as plenty of plant-based options. Cool off with a red or white sangria, icy margaritas or cold craft beer. Reservations are recommended as this hot spot fills up fast. Port Stanley, Ontario, gtsonthebeach.com

5 JOLLY ROGER’S SEAFOOD HOUSE

The casual atmosphere at Jolly Roger’s Seafood House can’t be beat. Hang out on the patio and enjoy a menu filled with everything from fish dinners and tacos to peel-n-eat shrimp and salmon power bowls. Go big and opt for a perch or walleye boat — an entire pound of Lake Erie’s finest filets. Port Clinton, Ohio, facebook.com/jollyrogerseafoodhouse
