🎸 Mr. Ed’s Bar & Grille: Where Put-in-Bay’s Pulse Lives
There’s a reason Mr. Ed’s Bar & Grille is more than just a restaurant—it’s a Put-in-Bay institution. Nestled right in the heart of downtown, across from the iconic Derivera Park, this high-energy hotspot brings together the best of island life, lake views, live entertainment, and lip-smacking eats.
Whether you’re grabbing lunch with the family or throwing down drinks with your crew until the early hours, Mr. Ed’s is the place where memories are made.
A Day at Mr. Ed’s
Imagine this: It’s noon on a sunny summer day. You’ve just stepped off the Jet Express and walked a few blocks through the bustling town square. Music drifts through the warm breeze. You follow the sound to Mr. Ed’s—its vibrant patio humming with laughter, clinking glasses, and the sizzle of fresh food being served.
Inside, TVs are broadcasting your favorite sports teams while the bar slings ice-cold beers, tangy margaritas, and signature cocktails. Outside, tables fill fast as guests soak in views of Lake Erie and the surrounding park. There’s a buzz in the air—Mr. Ed’s isn’t just another bar. It’s a Put-in-Bay rite of passage.
And then there’s the food…
🍕 Cameo Pizza Has Landed
As if Mr. Ed’s couldn’t get better, it recently teamed up with the legendary Cameo Pizza, a staple of island indulgence for over 60 years. This fusion has brought the best of both worlds under one roof. We’re talking:
– Bacon Chicken Ranch Pizza: Creamy, crispy, salty, and savory.
– Bosco Stix: Golden breadsticks oozing with cheese.
– Wings in Wild Sauces: From hot garlic parm to teriyaki and honey mustard.
– Cuban Sandwiches, Italian Subs, Monster Nachos, and more.
Oh, and they deliver right to your rental or condo—because nobody should have to get out of their hammock to eat like royalty.
Music, Madness & Mr. Ed’s Magic
What sets Mr. Ed’s apart? Non-stop entertainment. From spring fling to Halloween Boo Bash, there’s never a dull moment. The main stage hosts live bands and DJs that bring the house down. And when the sun sets, the party moves upstairs to…
The Green Room: Dance Under the Stars
Mr. Ed’s rooftop club, The Green Room, is where the night truly comes alive. Under twinkling lights and the open night sky, DJs spin the hottest tracks while islanders and tourists alike let loose until 2 AM every weekend. Planning a party? Book the space for birthdays, bachelor(ette) parties, or company events—and let the vibes do the rest.

– Watch waterfalls cascade into turquoise waters
It’s part beach bar, part day club, and 100% summer vibes.
From Family Feasts to Friends’ Night Out
Yes, Mr. Ed’s is a party paradise—but it’s also a great stop for families during the day. Grab a table on the patio, order up a cheesy pie or a fresh salad, and enjoy the scene.
