Bar and Grill at Akwa Marina

SeaWassp · 06-22-2013, 10:45 PM

Stopped by today Place has great potential to be better than it already is! People and Kurt are great. People in Marina are a little cranky. Told me not to dock n area outlined in purple above didn't even say Hi. Just yelled. Food is good beer is cold will be back. Stumps on walk up are tough on feet an toes. Make the bocci court part of the bar!

This place sounds great, can't wait to go there! Whether by boat or car, either way I bet the food will be great!

I do have one question though -- how do you park a boat? Last I knew it was docking a boat, and parking a car, lol..................... just wondering. No offense intended!

Just spend some time at any public dock. Some people dock their boat, some park it. It's easy to see the difference!!

On another note, stopped by again yesterday. Wings and burgers were excellent. Jeff and Trevor do an awesome job in the kitchen.
Limited docking though, but not much different than finding a spot in Meredith or Wolfboro on any nice weekend.

Some people don't even park/dock a boat. They just ram it in!

Had a nice meal there yesterday with my wife and intend to return. The service was excellent, the drinks were great and the food was great.

The fenders were clean and did not scuff my gelcoat, despite the wakes from the typical weekend boating. A dock attendant tied my boat, but I re-tied it much more loosely since the wind was blowing it away from the dock.

I love the sailboat bar, very clever. The lake view from our table was excellent.

Street directions for non-boat owners, please?

This place sounds great!

SnS, Isn't it on the right a mile after you pass the arcades (which will be on your left as you pass them)?

had lunch at AWKA marine a couple of weeks ago It Is a cool place. lunch was very good service was excellent, will definitely go back soon

surfnsnow · 07-10-2013, 09:14 AM

you're right vita, my mistake

Webbsatwinni · 07-10-2013, 09:57 AM

I've heard very good reports on the food, the negatives I do hear are around docking. I heard that boats were damaged as a result of the boat traffic near the weirs last weekend, does anyone have 1st hand knowledge as I have only heard rumor? I want to try it out, but being on an island, we typically do restaurants by boat so we don't need to drive the car (

).

I haven't been there by boat, yet, but likely will Saturday morning.
Given the layout/location, I could see how an improperly tied off boat could be damaged. However, I think as long as you exercise some basic logic you'll be fine. My guess is that most islanders know how to properly secure their boats to deal with unexpected conditions. You'll be fine

Woodsy · 07-10-2013, 11:20 AM

Webbs...

I think they are just that.. rumors. Akwa added tie posts... (I was one of the biggest proponents of tie posts vs balls) There is no reason a properly tied boat should get damaged in any way!

Webbsatwinni · 07-10-2013, 12:17 PM

BRK & Woodsy,

Thanks, that is what I figured. We see lots of boats improperly secured around the lake and that location could make that worse.

And yes, island life makes you learn this real fast, and on the broads, you better know how to tie a line or you will wake up without a ride home.

docking a whole another subject @ AWKA they have floating docks and are allways rolling with the waves from the boat traffick . we went on our jet ski and It was very difficult to get off at their docks. my wife came very close to falling off. some one In charge suggested next time to just beach It. but having said that I will still go back and hopefully this week If it ever stops raining.
