It had the perfect blend of clams, potatoes, and seasonings, and it wasn’t overly salty like some other places around here tend to be. The smooth consistency took me back to our vacation in Plymouth, Massachusetts—it was that good! Then we tried the Steam Pot, steamed in a Chardonnay wine sauce with Cajun and Old Bay seasonings. It came with clams, corn on the cob, salt potatoes, perfectly cooked shrimp, and andouille sausage. Our waitress, Monica, also brought out a condiment tray with five different sauces for us to try, though I only used the garlic butter on the corn—it was a hundred times better than what I’ve had at The Crab Shack. If you’re in the northeastern area of Irondequoit Bay, I highly recommend checking out The Bayside Pub and visiting Larry, Monica, and the rest of the staff. Please note that this is their last summer in business, as the Town of Webster plans to level the place for a park, despite not maintaining the parks they already have. If you're in the mood for fantastic seafood, don’t miss The Bayside Pub—you won’t be disappointed. Thank you again, Larry, for the recommendation. It truly was the best food we've had. Check it out; you’ll be glad you did!

I had a taste and found it flaky and moist inside, while the outside was crispy yet not greasy! I enjoyed the flavor of the grilled shrimp, but it could use some sauce since it tends to be a bit dry. A splash of butter right off the grill could really help with that! The cocktails here are quite good, too. Unfortunately, our favorite clam appetizer has been removed from the menu, and we're really hoping it makes a comeback! To be honest, we mostly come for the view anyway! A note to the staff: we appreciate you wearing masks, but please ensure they cover your noses! Consider investing in a decent mask, or at least one with a wire to keep it in place while speaking. You can find good options for around $20 that are comfortable and stay put.

Now that makes sense doesn't it? The food is super great. The clam chowder is to die for. A perfect balance of clams, potato and soup. And the flavor unimaginable!!! This will be a super loss to the bay. I also had their fish sandwich which was really nice. Lightly breaded and complimented with tomatoes and lettuce and a side of tart and lively tartar sauce. And lastly fermented pickle slices. Oh such yummyness Next year we can sit on the grass and have a picnic by the bay but unless you're a Gourmet cook and can pack the chowder... you'll be out of luck. Goodbye Bay Side Pub.

But I can't imagine I'd go back. The view across the street is very pretty and up on a hill, so if you do go here, be sure to check it out. This pub is across the street from that hill. It is right on the water, but it's not fancy at all. It's picnic tables with duck droppings everywhere, including some on the table tops. You couldn't be closer to the water, and the ducks were cute, but I personally would never eat here. The tables outside are self serve only, so we went to the bar to get drinks. The bar inside was really crowded, and there was only one bartender that was busy. She kept putting receipts in her mouth while she was serving drinks, which really grossed me out. I got an electric lemonade for $7. It wasn't worth it, and came in a plastic cup, and they only accept cash. It was pure chance that I even had $7 cash on me. My friend's drink was made entirely wrong the first time, which she noticed because it was the wrong color. It was remade by dumping part of it in another plastic cup and mixing other stuff with it. If you want to be on the water or feed some ducks, this may be the place for you. If you want a fancy dining experience on the lake, or even want to drink out of a glass, you do not want to go to this place.

Although they were affected by the flooding recently, we managed to find a lovely table right by the water tonight. Their veggie burger is made from scratch, and it's incredible!
