    Honi Honi is an amazing spot @ Deep Creek Lake. The bar is lively and drinks fun and affordable compared to some other places and definitively more affordable than Boston. Some will balk at a tiki bar/hut off a lake, and to that I say "YEEHAW TO THE HATERS" because you can only have so many family restaurants and dive bars before you start wanting to get away from all that nonsense. Enter... HONI HONI!!! On the weekends there is always live music or some event planned, and the space is lively and the decor is spot on. It has the feel of somewhere Jimmy Buffet might have hung out in his earlier days, and the people are more than happy to let themselves be swallowed by the atmosphere. We were lucky enough to be there during the patio season where we sat just inside the open window doors to the music. I will caution the one downside to Honi is they do not serve food. You have to order from UNO (the pizza chain) across the patio and go pick it up. No harm, no foul, we knew that before we arrived. If that is gonna ruin your trip or time at Honi - probably best to stay home. However, if you can get over that one little wrinkle it is a MUST during your visit.

    Fun littler bar with amazing musical talent. The staff is really friendly and they give you a great swift service. Drinks are priced fine and they are delicious. There is a small Jello Shot mini fridge over the counter as well. Water is free and ask them 5 times they will not hesitate at all. Musical acts at this place are local and plain amazing. Was there at the Wisp for a weekend and had a great time.

    The Honi Honi is a must visit when in Deep Creek. We were visiting with a group for the weekend and we were able to pull the boat right up and park. We had 5 toddlers with us who loved the pirate ship playground. We sat at the tiki tables outside and listened to a live band while the kids played at the playground. They don't have food, but you're able to order food to go from Unos next door and bring it out to the patio.

    A fun spot in Deep Creek. Definitely feels a little touristy trappy but I think the vibe here is pretty cool so who cares. Parking lot is a little dicey, they do have dock space as well. They have a great selection of drinks, especially frozen drinks. I had the bushwhacker which was very good. Drinks are a little pricy. Staff friendly. They have lots of yard games and live music both times I was there. A must visit if in Deep Creek.

    Before going to Deep Creek, I heard that Honi Honi is definitely the place to go out. When we arrived at the bar, I was surprised by how much older the crowd was in comparison to other bars I've been to. There was a live band playing on the Saturday night that my friends and I went there. The band was pretty good, they had a lot of energy and great voices. I would have liked they played more popular songs for our generation, but I understand they were performing for the majority of the crowd (which was in their 40-50s). At one point they called up the bride-to-be in our group to play the tambourine. She had a blast being in the spotlight and having her own solo. The bar is very small, there wasn't a lot of room to dance or a place to stand as a large group. We eventually found a spot to stand around the bar. The bartender Josh was excellent. He was quick to get us our drinks, made our mixed drinks well, and very friendly to our group. Our group struck up many conversations with him about our bachelorette party, college football, and our jobs. His friendly personality made us not feel so out of place in the older bar crowd. I was surprised that the bar closed at 11pm, but it had cleared out by then so it makes sense. I would like to see how the crowd is in the summer and if the atmosphere is different. There's a great fire pit outside that I imagine is fun to be around when it is warmer outside.

    If your taking a trip to DCL, chances are Honi Honi is on your list! You are able to travel in by car or boat. They always have live music during the day and at nights on the weekends! We always make a stop here while boating for the day to listen to some good tunes and drinks! Highly recommend!

    Fantastic women while drinks couples swinging this was quite I swinging afternoon

    We stopped in after a hike and had the crab bombs & burgers . Food & service were great.read more

    Firstly, no hate on the food, it was great. I got the fish and chips and it came out hot, crisp,…read moreand had good flavor. The coleslaw was finely shredded, which was a pleasant surprise, and dressed in the regular mayo sauce. The tartar sauce was the only thing mediocre seeing as it wasn't that tangy or acidic, it was pickley, which I like pickles, but I want my tartar sauce not that pickley. Now, as for why I only give it two stars. I came in with a group of 12 for lunch at about 1. I know this can be a bit overwhelming, but I don't think they had properly trained for scenarios like this. We talked to a waitress/host and she had said that they are doing tables in sections, which we were like, "We understand and would be ok if you had to split us into two tables," but I just don't think she knew what to do. So, she asked her manager, I presume, and they ended up putting tables together to accommodate us, and turned it into a teaching moment saying, "Anyone can do this" in reference to putting available tables together to seat a large group such as ours. After we were seated and had gotten our menus we put our drink orders in, which came out within a fair amount of minutes. We put in our food orders about 5 minutes later. Nothing too customized, just normal cheese, no cheese, sub regular fries for sweet potato. She took our order and never came back to our table until the food came out. This was a good 50+ minutes. I understand food for a large group can have a long wait time, but part of the service industry is giving updates and refreshing drinks. Other tables had came and went during the time we were there, it was quite bothersome. We had someone go up and ask about our food since we were all hungry and a bit ticked off. Soon after that we got what we ordered. Well, mostly at least. One person had ordered the portobello sandwich and that comes with sweet potato fries according to the menu. They came with regular for her plate. Not that she complained, the regular turned out more crispy than the sweet potato. It would have been nice to know in advance that they would have to sub it if they had ran out of sweet potato fries however. We asked for refills and once we got them she brought ketchup, asked if we needed anything else, and left us alone again. Our server along with seeming new, also had a tired/I don't like my job vibe the whole time. At the end of our meal, we got the check with 18% gratuity already set as the tip since we had a large group. The food was good, but I don't think we'll be back for our next big family trip up here. It seemed like they did best with smaller groups 2-4. Just make note if you're coming up here with a large party.

    Craft beers, nice decor, good food, great staff, good for a group…read more About 12 of us wanted a meal all together in McHenry MD, and we all like craft beer and pizza, so the Mountain State Brewing Co. restaurant was an easy choice. (Jun 2026). It's a large brew pub with a cabin-like décor, out Sang Run Road just north of Deep Creek Lake. There's a little carved bear by the front door, and a kid-size huggable bear at the host stand. Photo ops! And fun for the kids! They seated us quickly and our server was quick in taking beer orders. They have plenty of soft drinks, and we got Lemonade and Apple Juice, Orange Fanta (a favorite), and a pitcher of Mountain State's own creamy MSBC Root Beer - made here! Beer-wise, there were 16 draft crafts plus a couple of old standards to choose from on a paper menu or by looking at their website or QR-code. Most were around 5% ABV. We had Pennsylvania's full-flavored grassy citrusy mildly-bitter Victory Summer Love golden ale. We raided MSBC's just-west-of-here West Virginia brewery of their creamy malty lightly-bitter Miner's Daughter oatmeal stout, and a lightly-bitter caramel Almost Heaven amber ale. New York's Hudson North brewed us some summery sweet Salted Watermelon cider. And we had some from home: Columbia MD's Black Flag Snozzberry Haze: a fruity piney hazy IPA, standing up at 7% ABV. Baltimore's Mobtown Fever Dream, a creamy flavorful somewhat fruity IPA, punching at 7.4% ABV. And Baltimore's Wico Street Yeah Brah, a strongly-bitter double IPA, clobbering us with an 8.5% ABV! A wonderful fermented tour of the northeast! Get ready to say "yum" out loud... From their wide range of bar foods and appetizers, we had fresh crisp tortilla chips with their medium-spicy cream cheese and homemade-ranch baked Buffalo Chicken Dip, elevated with blue cheese on top and an add-on side of chipotle! They made their own fresh-Spinach & Artichoke Dip with fresh basil, roasted red peppers, and an extravagant blend of cream cheese, feta, mozzarella, asiago, parmesan, and cheddar jack. The giant soft crust Pretzels & homemade Beer Cheese were notably popular with the kids. Salads? Yep. Tasty Lemon Herb Chicken Salad, crisp and crunchy Caesar salad, house salad with requested black olives, and cole slaw. And sides of orange segments and raisin-like cranberries for the little ones. And on to the main feast :-). Simple fried chicken nuggets and off-the-menu Pepperoni Pizza to be sure the younger crowd was satisfied. The Boars Nest sandwich was overnight-tender pulled pork with tangy Carolina BBQ sauce and fresh crunchy cole slaw on a lightly-toasted brioche bun. The spicier "wilder" Wild Boar sandwich had that low-and-slow pulled-pork awakened with bright jalapeños and spicy Chipotle BBQ sauce, topped with provolone on that toasted yet pillowy brioche. The fresh Caprese sandwich had firm ripe Roma tomatoes, tender baby spinach, and fresh mozzarella with requested added chicken. It was all dressed with bright basil dressing, drizzled with tangy sweet balsamic glaze, on crisp and soft toasted Italian bread. A well-made classic caprese re-invented by MSBC as a bright crunchy sandwich! Everyone liked those classic crisp pepperoni pies. From their world-class pizza recipes, we had the Supreme: pepperoni, sausage, onions, green peppers, their cheese blend, and black olives, drizzled with fragrant fresh olive oil. And the vegetarian so-tasty-you-wouldn't-guess it-was-gluten-free Yard Sale pizza: marinated artichokes, prosciutto, mozzarella, with an olive oil & garlic base, sprinkled with fresh basil and a dash of freshly-cracked black pepper. Mountain State Brewing Co. gave us a memorable spread of great beers and delicious creative foods. You know we enjoyed leftovers the next day :-) Our terrific server Claire was ever-attentive, and between you and me, made it seem effortless to host our full table of hungry adults and kids. We'll be back, especially for their wide-ranging ever-changing draft list and those amazing pizzas!

    On our last trip to DCL, we went looking for a casual dinner brewpub where we could bring our pup…read more What a great find! We were able to sit out on the patio, have a great local brew and sample some absolutely great food, highlighted by some spectacular pizza. The pizzas were so good that, after a busy day the next day, we went back and got more to take home! Definitely a location to return to....
