Great Lake club with a pool, lake access and beach perfect for families with kids. Staff are all great and honestly the best food. We went out to eat a few times though the food here was by far 5/5. Best lobster rolls and clam chowder I have had in my New England living. The only improvement they could make is the annoying people who show up at 8am to claim their 10 lounge chairs and block others who have some manners from getting a chair. read more

We really enjoyed our food and our server Eileen was excellent. Really cute beach bar and would definitely recommend if you are looking for outdoor seating with a nice view. We got the haddock, lobster roll, and oysters. Everything was fresh, seasoned well, and delicious. No complaints at all regarding food. 3 stars due to the drinks being so expensive! $12 for their blueberry basil lemonade and we asked for Tito's. If you ask for grey goose it would cost even more. A little outrageous for the area. Nightclubs in Boston charge $12-15/drink so we were expecting no more than $10 but it really should have been priced at around $8/drink. read more

We stopped while in Weirs Beach for drinks and appetizers and we loved everything about this place! The cocktails were great and the appetizers were too. Overall, 10/10 recommend while in Wiers Beach. The beach bar has an awesome ambiance and beautiful views of the beach. read more

This place serves up bar bites and cocktails right on the lake next to a small yacht club. We came here twice during our weekend stay in the area. The first time was decent, we sat right at the bar and were attended to pretty quickly. I had a Pina Colada and a Mudslide - they were both pretty strong and good but were way too ice-y to drink through a straw and, at about $12 a cocktail, not a bargain. Overall, the menu is a little pricey for what it is. The SECOND time we came here was pretty disappointing. We decided to sit a table rather than sit at the bar and had to wait about 30 minutes before somebody took our order. We had waitstaff walk by us multiple times without acknowledging us and the bar wasn't even very full. I actually had to get up and grab our menus. After all that, they told my friends they couldn't make a Miami Vice (even though they could make a pina colada and daiquiri separately). The main (and maybe only) thing this place has going for it is it's scenic location. read more

Akwa Marina Beach Bar - Pina Colada - Seafood Near Me - Laconia, New Hampshire

One of the best spots on the lake. Delicious drinks and friendly staff. Sometimes it can be a bit hectic when it's busy, but it's a great atmosphere and location. read more

So this place is ultimately a beach bar located within a marina club. We arrived shortly after 6 and there weren't any shaded tables available on the lawn near the ocean, so we had to sit inside of the large gazebo beach bar. It's a cool concept it's all open air with clear fiberglass windows by the tables, the bar is a large boat and there's plenty of fresh air. It was extremely busy and the bar was packed but we were right in our assumption that it was a large group of people, boaters, and boy were they loud - in normal circumstances Thai is no big deal but it was difficult to communicate with our waitress as she had a mask on. The place although outdoors, had a ton of spider webs and could use a little cleaning, wasn't filthy and I get it is outside but it was just in need of it. The food and drinks were okay. My painkiller was strong which I enjoyed. The chicken nuggets seemed burnt. My fish tacos were actually pretty yummy! read more

It's a great location on the shore of Lake Winnipesaukee. If it were a gourmet spot, I'd probably give it 5 *, but it's a beach bar, and one of the best, but none of them deserve 5. Try it! read more

I have been here many times and enjoy the drink, food, and view. I've been twice this summer & the servers all wore masks. I had a bad experience today because we came in excited to relax and have dinner but soon realized that half the servers had their masks around their neck and not a single bartender had a mask at all. We stayed for a few minutes and then told the bartender we would be leaving. She asked why and I told her because of the lack of mask. Her response was "Oh, sorry." At a time in our country when Covid-19 kills someone every 80 seconds, this is straight up disregard for human life by the restaurant for not mandating masks. Unless the restaurant decides to take this seriously, like many of the other restaurants in the area are, I will not be back this summer. read more

Good food. Limited menu. Place is a bit Pricey. For the most part they have fried Fish, lobster roll, chicken sandwich and hamburger. A few other things. Cool stop to grab a drink at the yacht shaped bar. read more

Ate here before going on the Tiki Boats this morning. This place is a hidden gem at the lake. The service was amazing. The wraps we had were delicious and the drinks were good. Great pricing and great atmosphere. Will def return! read more

This is my favorite place to eat on this part of Winni. The atmosphere is unique, the view is spectacular, and the food is above par for a 'tourist place'. The calamari is fantastic! Don't skip it. The fish sandwich is enormous, as is the burger. Today I tried the ahi tuna app which was huge and tasty. It is pricier than other spots in the Weirs, but the quality is there and they have so much to offer. read more

It's nice that you can just and park your boat at their dock, and go in for a nice lunch. The service was nice and the menu was nice. Nothing too exciting but competent. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken was OK but the chicken was dry. The blackened fish taco was OK but there was no blackening at all. All in all good for a try again in the future. read more

I literally debated whether or not to write this, because I did not want to give away my go to summer spot. Literally I am there once a week. Then I thought, don't be a biznatch. Okay so one word, mojitos. Fabulous, fresh and reasonably priced. A lot of people do not come to this bar/ pub because they feel it is private for the like luxury boat owners, but it is open to the public. Put your big girl pants on, walk through the grand entrance that looks too posh for your flip flops and make way to the giant pavilion. You will be so happy that you did. Or don't, because I like it barely crowded. read more

Dock up, get served by friendly Eileen, enjoy the view of Lake Winnipesaukee in a rustic open casual outdoor area while enjoying excellent food and killer rum cocktails! read more

Nice atmosphere - drinks in small plastic cup but good ~ $15.98 for a burger ok but this burger was foul smelling & inedible & if the cook could not smell it then / customers are in trouble \small haddock sandwich was high priced w no fish what a shame it's a bar with views & that's what you pay for, Lucky no one else got sick just my daughter, we did get credit off our bill so thanks for that read more

I've been here twice, both times we pulled up on a friends boat. The first experience was pretty good, it was late on a sunday night and we stopped in to have dinner and a couple of drinks. The drinks came out fast but our waiter rarely came around to ask if we needed refills. After ordering our meals (party of 6) we waited close to a half an hour for our food, which doesn't seem like a big deal but there were only around 6-8 other people in the entire place. But when our food came out, calamari, root salad with salmon, root salad with streak and a chicken sandwich they were all delicious so we were fine with the slow service. The second time we went was this past Monday afternoon. We got there around 1pm and there were 3 or 4 other tables seated so it was pretty slow. We were told that if we sat at the bar our service would be easier for our waitress, which we didn't really want to do but did anyway since the waiter went out of their way to tell us. So we sat at the bar and ordered our drinks which came out pretty quickly and I reordered the same root salad with grilled salmon that I had ordered a couple weeks prior. That's when the misery started. We waited about an hour and 40 minutes for our food. Other tables were seated and placed their orders, they complained about the slow service but got their food way ahead of us anyway. We were told that the cooks came late and hadn't done any prep the previous night so everything was going a little slow, which I could understand at first, until our meals came out. My salad was about 1/2 to 2/3's the size of the same exact salad that I had ordered a couple weeks earlier and the salmon that I was looking so forward to eating seemed like it was once grilled but then flash fried or something to heat it up, it tasted more like salmon jerky than grilled salmon. I was so disappointed and when the waiter asked how our food was we told him. They ended up giving us a hand written piece of paper for 2 free apps on a future visit but there were 5 of us there and we probably wouldn't go there together so it was really all for not. The setting and views are great, the food is obviously hit or miss and the service is some of the worst ever. I feel bad saying that because our waiter was also a bartender and was actually really nice but waiting almost 2 hours for food mid day on a Monday is absolutely ridiculous. Needles to say we will never stop there again. I do NOT recommend this place. read more

Great place to stop while out on the boat. Fish sandwich on bulky is definitely a favorite. Small first year startup challenges but overall a great place to try. read more

Great location. The view of the lake makes having a couples dinner here worth it. At the same time the atmosphere is great for a perfect night of drinking with your buddies. The chefs are proud of the work they do and it shows in the final product. read more

I'll give it two stars because I see potential. The bar is a cool concept, the wait staff is just not there yet. We sat down at the bottom seating area to view the water. Every other table got service, I had to walk up to get someone to come take our order. Our waiter was very nice, just not attentive. The calamari was delicious but we cancelled the chicken order because we didn't want to stay. They didn't have red sangria, so they made me a white one which was very nice of them. It's. It not a bad little bar, just needs way more training. read more

Where do I start, this place is awesome! Great location on the lake. They have the best lobster roll I have ever had, piled high on a brioche bun toasted to perfection with butter. The calamari is awesome it comes with a tantalizing sweet Asian chili sauce. The fish sandwich and summer root salad are also a few of my favorites. Their bartender makes some of the best drinks on the lake, if you're not sure what your in the mood for he is sure to whip up something you will enjoy! Their waitstaff is very friendly and accomodating. The bar itself is one of a kind, made from an old sailboat will a custom glass top, at night it's a sight to see all lit up! This place has my vote and I will definitely be coming regularly. read more

I'll preface by saying that this is not fine dining, it's a beach bar. But for a beach bar, it's a 5. Best burger I've had on the lake, great drinks and great service ( must have upped their game since last year). We will definitely be back! read more

I would strongly recommend not going here. Not only were the owners rude, but I got sick off the food. I have also had friends that have gone there and got sick. I heard something about how they store their food and its not on the premises. Lake Winni has plenty of other options to have to settle for this one. read more

I have never written a yelp review, but after such a terrible experience I felt it necessary to make others aware of what an awful restaurant this was. Walking in there the restaurant was pretty empty which I thought was odd for a restaurant right on the water on a beautiful warm summer night. My fiancé and I sat down and quickly realized why not many people would choose to go here. The tables were dirty and the staff was rude and unorganized. They were out of half of the food on their VERY limited menu. We drove 40 minutes to go here for dinner and left very unsatisfied. I would never recommend anyone to go here. read more

So I see many folks coming into the yacht club.. sitting at the pool and angry when asked to leave,, guess what.. I am glad the owner police's the place.. I pay a lot of money for the pool and my boat! I decided there versus other marina's because of the pool and the beach.. The food has always been good.. Trevor the new cook is outstanding and will make anything you want.. Corey the bartender makes some of the best drinks on the lake. So if you must hate because you were asked to get of "MY POOL CHAIR".. don't take it out on the owners or the staff,, come and enjoy our marina/yacht club, have a drink get good food.. but the pool and the beach is not yours..My suggestion to the owners is to have a card key or bracelets for members... I know the members would love to help with the policing... read more

I adored this place! The open air restaurant is relaxing and the views of the lake are terrific. Our waitress was attentive and friendly and we found the food to be awesome. Although the menu is limited we found it satisfying. We ordered the Captain's Calamari and loved it. It was fresh, lightly battered and cooked to perfection...and the sweet/spicy banana pepper relish just added to the overall, mouthwatering flavors. I highly recommend this appetizer! The summer root salad made with fresh garden greens, walnuts, fruit, goat cheese, grilled beets and topped with a balsamic vinaigrette was incredibly fresh and delicious...the goat cheese doesn't overpower the salad and adds a wonderfully distinct taste to this dish. I opted to add the grilled chicken to this salad and it made it a perfectly light entrée. My husband ordered the haddock sandwich and once again it was fresh, lightly battered and golden brown delicious! Give this place a try....you will not be sorry!!!! read more

Great waitstaff; terrible kitchen. Until they can operate a functioning kitchen, won't go back.

Great Food, Great drinks, great service. By far the best location and atmosphere in the lakes region. Nothing beats the views while sitting right on the water.No more town docks or Margate. read more

The lobster connection by misquito bridge (also awesome place) told me about this place, it could definitely have better signage, but maybe that adds to why it is so great. It is pretty much hidden. I had the lobster roll, pretty much the best I have every had, it is on a bun, little strange but in a good way. My Wife had a haddock sandwich that I had a bite of that was very fresh tasting for a fried sandwich. They had an interesting line up of beers on tap, I had a sam summer. Wife had a martini that she loved. The services was ok, I could tell they were short handed. The actual structure and ambiance reminds me of a Caribbean /Disney world. read more

Libster Rolls were a work of art, loved them. Will be back this summer. Great bar also!

Can't beat the atmosphere and views at this beach bar! Huge boat for the bar with all the rigging up. Friendly staff and great service. Been there several times and food has always been great. Lobster roll is a huge portion that the waitress said was hand chucked, served on a buttery bun. Will definitely be back read more

Had dinner and drinks for the 4th of July. Food was great. I had a Jerk Chicken Sandwich everyone else had Lobster rolls. I am not a fan of lobster but was with some seasoned lobster roll fans. Everyone said that their lobster rolls were great. The drinks were very good and service was on time. I suggest the Akwa Lemonade. I will return in the near future and suggest checking the place out read more

I have had my boat docked here for the past two years. I can say that things are a lot better than they were last year. They have Hart's Turkey running the restaurant now and they have really turned it around. They have been able to keep staff, which has drastically improved the service. The restaurant manager was very friendly and really looking for feedback on how to improve things. I understand the bad reviews for service in the past, but I would definitely give it another shot. read more
