Stonewater Pub

Top choice in Thousand Islands


Below a B&B, this homey little waterfront Irish pub and restaurant serves up hearty and delicious fare: the 'Irish tenderloin' (grilled, bacon-wrapped ground lamb and beef) and 'porky pig' (pork loin burger) are both must-tries for self-respecting carnivores. There's a bunch of creative salads too. The vibe is straight out of Moby Dick, and especially delightful when there's live music.
