We stayed at a nearby condo, and the St. Hazards Bar was very convenient. The staff at our condo recommended that we stay away from the food at this bar because several people had gotten sick there the week before. The beer was served cold, so no complains about that. The staff was friendly, but unorganized. They have an indoor and outdoor bar, along with a pool and hot tub. The bathrooms are disgusting and all parts of the outdoor bar/patio/deck area are poorly maintained and dirty. The indoor section is better, but not by much. I would go back because, it was an easy place to get a drink near our condo, but would not go out of my way to visit this bar.

Sorry but I love this place. The villas are where it's at. Says you can sleep 6 but we have crammed 8-10 people before. We rent them for $500 a weekend and it's worth it. Bring your cooler and drinks and head on up. The pool is solid and the bar/restaurant is as well. The villas have AC and stove, fridge and microwave. Villa 5 has a huge deck and grill. Bring your own towels and linen and you are set. Sometimes we don't even make it over to PIB. Middle Bass more for locals and not near as rowdy. Good weekend getaway

Resort is a very generous term.. we stayed in Cabin 1 at St. Hazards. DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE WE DID. It was bare bones, as anticipated, but the porch light and inside ceiling lights didn't work. Porch was covered in cobwebs and dirt, with a loose front step. We didn't have a fire pit outside as we were sold -the front desk said we could take one from another vacant site. Inconvenienced, but okay. The WORST part was definitely the bathrooms... They were constantly dirty and clogged, even the restaurant/pool ones. I've stayed in state parks for 1/2 the price with much nicer facilities. The bath trailer was disgusting, it smelled just walking up to it. I would've loved to shower, but wasn't sure what I would contract in there. It was filmy and rust colored. The cleanliness was our biggest concern and it should be yours too. Pool needed updating, but the music and drinks were nice. Too bad we didn't want to relax & drink more because then we would've had to use those disgusting bathrooms even more. Spend the extra $$ and stay in Put In Bay.

This is a fun little patio with fountains and a pool. The music was very good, the Flyin' J's were there. We had been warned about the slow service, I heard it described as double island time. I also heard it described as redneck tiki, but I think that's a little harsh. As the night wore on, the bartenders started to grow on me. I realized, they did not at all care about being fast. This was a hobby for them and they were actually doing me a favor getting me anything at all. Once I realized the score, I just mellowed out and enjoyed watching the bartenders get as lubricated as the all the patrons. I'm being a little sarcastic, but honestly we really had fun and adjusted to the laid back vibe. No idea why it's called St. Hazard's. Commodore Perry was anything but a saint. But anyway, it's a five minute walk from the marina.

Very nice location very nicely laid out food is decently priced however the service is the worst service I have ever had or seen in any restaurant in the state of Ohio they were out of draft beer we ordered two entrees they both came on one plate we were confused that both why did both entrees come on one plate there was 27 people in the restaurant and one waitress severely understaffed I would be willing to give the establishment of Second Chance however management needs to wake up

It was our first night on Middle Bass Island and we didn't feel like taking the ferry over to Put-in-Bay for the night. Luckily, there are 2 bars on Middle Bass. This one was closest to our house so we stopped by. We walked but they do have a shuttle, which is nice. We got there around 10 or so and I liked the tiki bar vibe. There was a group playing volleyball in the pool and about a dozen people bellied up to the bar. They have your basic beverage choices, priced about what you'd expect for a casual laid-back island bar. AKA not breaking the bank. There was a fire pit set up, which was nice when it started getting a little chilly. We had fun here, but one night was enough. Definitely recommend going at night -- this place loses its luster in the daylight.

August 2013This review is for the bar/pool only. This place is weird. It looks like someone spent tons of money making the place look really really cool. You're at some kind of tropical island resort, the layout is labyrinthine and amazing, the inside of the restaurant looks really cool, and you don't even have to be checked into their villa/hotel/whatever it is to hang out at the pool. The trouble is, it seems rather poorly run. They used to brew their own beer, now they don't. The restrooms were... appalling at best. Overflowing toilets with no soap, and no apparent care from the employees.The bartenders were nice, our fellow pool loungers were entertaining, the drinks were cheap, the setup is extremely cool, but overall it seems poorly/sketchily executed. They've got a serious diamond in the rough here.

First I'd like to start with my husband & I had an amazing trip to MBI overall... Unfortunately we stayed at the worst villa at St Hazards. William Herzog, was the slumlord we rented this Air bnb from,Please do yourself a favor & find else where. When contacted he didnt want to do anything except finally after communicating all day, give a free day on a future trip (Which WHY would I want to go back to a disgusting unlivable villa? I'm sure him & his family don't stay in a place like that on the island!) It was disgusting & the photos from this villa was not updated on Air bnb. We cleaned the entire first day, water didn't work when arrived either. There was food in the microwave. I have photos from this whole experience, only negative was the villa itself & we were told it was the worst one. Thankfully we got it last minute when it was on sale or we would have paid $317 a night to sleep in filth. I went home with bites on my arm, dead insects everywhere, the shower was GROSS and the liner was even more gross. Spiderwebs everywhere. We have never stayed somewhere so gross, & contacted Heroz with multiple photos and cleaned the place. You'd think we'd at the very least get our $100 cleaning fee back, but that was a no go! Onto the positive side, golf cart at the resort was $60ish a day and they have a bus that will take you anywhere on island for $3, many places you can just walk though. The guy bartender was there everyday/night & was great. the resort Food was mediocre & it could be updated but we didn't mind that. I'd go back for another trip, but we'd probably be staying at Walleyes.

William and Ryan our Air BNB Hosts were awful and deceitful!!!! We booked a so-called "villa" # 15 but arrived to learn they put us in # 11. These are no villas!! These are trailers on a glorified trailer park with a dumpy pool and bar. William stated that # 15 was under construction and later told me that # 15 was sold only after I kept messaging him about our stay in #11 and why we are not at # 15 which is what we booked and paid for. The locals told us they had done this before to others so please BE AWARE of this scam!!!
