“We had drinks and appetizers here on the outside patio while we watched the sunset. It was beautiful! And after the sun went down and there was a chill in the air our server brought out lap blankets for us! That was a first! And a very nice touch!!”

The draw
The lake does the talking.
On the far eastern shore of Geneva Lake, next to Big Foot Beach State Park, the deck over Buttons Bay is the whole point — and the sunset is what people plan their evening around.
Take in the view from our spacious deck, or cozy up to the wrap-around bar with a craft beer to watch the game. With access from the water and ample parking, there's no better spot to grab a bite on Geneva Lake.
