Coles Point Tavern

Great casual setting on 'The Rivah'!! Great food at reasonable prices 😃😃!

Spectacular Potomac River view. Outside deck seating is the best. Seafood, burgers and wings are hits.

I've been kicked out of this place more times than I can count and there is no better joint on the Redneck Rivierah to get kicked out of. The decor is non-pretentious as is the menu. The food will impress you, the crowd is friendly but at closing time you gotta go. Chris's crab cake sandwiches are the best on the bay. Fresh, generous and very tasty. I order mine without the bun so that I can finish it without being overstuffed. Seafood pizza when available will knock your socks off. Fresh catch of the day is always great as are the fish tacos. Burgers and sandwiches on the menu as well. Nice cold beer selection. The kitchen has been renovated and expanded so the wait time for food during crowded periods is much shorter than it used to be however if you have a big group and it's rush hour(s) the wait can impress you with it's tenacity. The Tavern is built out over the Potomac River and is therefore located in Maryland. There are nice docking facilities however if you arrive by car or motorcycle, you have to do so from the Northern Neck of Virginia. The place is not really easy to get to from just about anywhere but the drive seems a lot shorter once you have made it. Cole's Point Tavern isn't an Applebee's, Chili's or any chain style restaurant. It's a historic old bar/dance hall that is privately owned (one of these owners might be that guy sitting next to you with the hat on). The jukebox is a prominent feature both visually and at times sonically. Expect local character and charm. If you get looked at when you walk in the door it's because folks tend to know each other around Cole's Point and they want to welcome you back. Last but not least: There is a package store (beer and liquor) that sells ice as well.

Awesome waterfront dive bar that serves pub food and cold beer. It's a staple of the area, totally recommend checking out.
