It's quite spacious inside, but the music was pretty loud for a weekday afternoon. Felt like a lot of people were already there, making conversation a bit difficult. The drinks were okay, nothing too memorable though.

Long time visitor finally writing up review. Location is incredible. Right on the harbor and the lake. Live music shows basically every day. BBQ is on point. Dog friendly. Divvy docks not far or ride your own bike. They show FIFA World Cup games too!

On a beautiful summer day on the lake at Burnham Harbor, Boat Drinks is a fantastic place to hang out with friends. Live music offered every weekend. On my visit, we were treated to outlaw country music by Billy Gray. Atmosphere is everything at Boat Drinks!
