    Right on the chain. You can boat there! They have tons of slips available.They will fill your cooler w ice for a couple bucks, great prices for being on the water. Food was just what was needed after playing in the lake all day! Loved the Harbor Burger w fries! Service was beyond amazing with so many guests to serve. She still made the time to ask my name and welcome me! Great little place! Highly recommend it!

    Middle of the afternoon on the weekend. Sunny and 80. Plenty of parking for cars and bikes. Plenty of dock space. It was a little tough getting served at the outside bar. A few tables available with nice views. Made for a ok one and done. Will stop again.

    Had another great day at Electric Harbor saturday with our favorite bartender Jamie! The place was packed & she was still able to keep up with everyone while training a new bartender! Thank you Jamie, you're awesome! Dianna's been great too! Thank you Larry Sr. for offering to store our Harley & getting a ride home for us with the storms coming in today, tuesday! We made it home partially wet but safe with a full stomach thanks to the awesome cooks at Electric Harbor! I highly recommend visiting this place!

    We come here for drinks and the view while on the boat and make this one of our stops. Never had any food so I can't comment on that. Cool little spot if you want to enjoy drinks with your friends while watching boats go by.

    Nice little bar. Has a playground for the kids to run around on. Food is just frozen and fried, but decent.
