Best View On The Lake 〰️
The drawThe 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.
GENEVA LAKE
There’s nothing like enjoying drinks with the best view on Lake Geneva right in front of you. At The Boat House Bar & Grill, the lake isn’t just the backdrop—it’s the main event. Our prime waterfront location offers one of the best sunset views on Lake Geneva, where the sky lights up over the water and boats cruise by as the day fades into night. With a relaxed lake vibe during the day and high-energy fun as the sun goes down, it’s no surprise we’re one of the most talked-about Lake Geneva bars. Whether you’re watching the sunset, meeting friends, or celebrating a summer weekend, our unforgettable lakeside atmosphere is what keeps guests coming back all season long.
