We stopped by for 1 drink because of the beautiful beach setting. We wound up staying for 6 rounds of drinks plus food because Alejandro's playlist was amazing. We felt like we were at a beach party, and didn't want to leave. The Cajun shrimp tacos were really good too.

We had an errand to run nearby and decided to give this place a try for an early lunch. What a pleasant surprise! Great views, great food, and excellent service. We had the souvlaki and a salad, both were tasty and our service was excellent. We’ll be back!

Great spot to enjoy if your at the beach or want to enjoy a nice beach view! They have a nice array of cocktails and food items. Simple a easy place to go to enjoy your time before the Navy Pier!

Our 49th anniversary! Beautiful evening and we were treated so special. Conversations with two servers and manager came by our table to congratulate us! Comped the dessert and gave discount! Hidden jem with great food and views!

Wow! Loved this place! Absolute hidden gem (in my opinion) since I live a little further north. The views cannot be beat, makes you remember why you love to live in Chicago. The vibe was relaxed/beach casual. Would see this being an amazing lunch/dinner or work HH spot. The service was amazing and we were checked on and accommodated heavily by most of the staff but Alejandro was our main server and he was AMAZING. So much personality, enthusiasm and passion for the menu and the food. He was not wrong. The food was better than expected for a lakefront spot. It didn’t have to be good with those views, but THE ERIE BURGER. I will dream about that burger. 10/10 would recommend for a fun, casual spot for food and drinks with friends who appreciate an amazing Chicago skyline/beach/lake view.

Good for location. Solid menu of mixed food items. Fish tacos were good and beer and margaritas were good as well. Service was friendly and quick to review food allergens of my friend. Overall would go back to here again if I was at the beach…. But would not go out if my way to try this spot

Wonderful waiter... he was very attentive. I ordered the lamb burger (yummy). My husband had the fish tacos and great sweet potato fries. And, we enjoyed nice cold drinks on a hot Chicago Day at the Ohio Beach 🏖️. Thank you.

Fantastic place. Like a beach club in South of France. Chicken wings were wonderful but atmosphere is what makes that place FUN. Try it ! Great people. Alejandro bartender is wonderful, ,we have known him for couple years. And Anna Irish waitress is not only gorgeous but also very efficient and friendly !

Came here on a sunny Saturday in June so as one would expect, it was busy. We were lucky enough to get a table which was good because there is not a lot of standing room without getting in someone's way. The service was fairly quick especially given how busy they were, with both table service and ordering at the bar. They were not accepting cash which didn't really matter to us. The beer and mixed drink selection was decent. If you can get there early enough or are just lucky enough to snag a table I would definitely recommend. Hard to beat sitting on the beach enjoying a cold beverage on a sunny Chicago summer day. ⛱️ 🌞

Great restaurant on the beach! Casual and chill, with great vibes. Open access to view the skyline, the water, and situated on the beach with the option to sit on a patio with your toes in the sand! Visiting from Louisiana and it did not disappoint. Ordered the St Caprese Panini added bacon with sweet potato fries. Would recommend!
