Established in 2014.
The new Dock of the Bay opened its doors for the first time on October 15th, 2014. We opened while other dock bars were closing for the season. Our purpose in opening was to develop staff, develop a menu, learn the local eating and drinking patterns and establish a culture. We are happy to have accomplished our goals. We understand that we are always a work in progress and there is always room for improvement. At the Dock of the Bay we expect to attract new customers from our world class views and outdoor dining. We expect those new customers to come back because of the food, drinks and outstanding service.
