Dock Bars of the Chesapeake Bay
We have compiled a PropTalk and reader-suggested list of some of the best dock bars in Chesapeake Bay Country. We’ve sorted the bars alphabetically by Upper (north of the Bay Bridge), Middle (Bay Bridge to Virginia line), and Lower Bay (Virginia line to Virginia Beach), but we understand that we may have missed a few. Always remember to take along a designated skipper/driver for your adventures, and if we missed your favorite spot, email [email protected] for inclusion.
