The Keys

The Keys is one of the most coveted spots on all of Put-in-Bay. Located right on Lake Erie, The Keys is known for its Florida inflected cuisine, beautiful views of Put-in-Bay Harbor, and tasty margaritas.

The Lake Erie perch is one of the reasons people flock to Put-in-Bay, Ohio. The Keys puts its own spin on this delicacy with its signature Key Lime tartar sauce. With extra crispy hand breading, Lake Erie perch is available as a sandwich or in a basket with coleslaw and seasoned fries. Visit The Keys on Bayview Ave!
