Best of Lake Erie — Pickle Shot at Reel Bar
Quench your thirst for something new and quirky with a legendary island favorite served on Put-in-Bay.
For those who truly appreciate the tangy, briny kick of a pickle and are up for trying something delightfully different, the Reel Bar on Put-in-Bay offers a famous concoction: a pickle shot. It’s a playful twist on a classic shot, presented in an edible “glass” made from a large, juicy pickle with its insides scooped out. You get to choose your spirit — either the smooth, rich notes of Jameson Irish Whiskey or the crisp, agave-forward character of Lunazul Tequila — to fill your pickle vessel. It’s a quirky and surprisingly tasty way to enjoy a drink, offering a blend of savory and spirited notes and embodying the spirit of island fun. Looking for something to pair it with? We recommend the Lake Erie walleye sandwich, lobster roll, Reel Ribs platter or pork belly street tacos.
