Core offering

Pier 6 Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is a seasonal third-floor rooftop waterfront dining venue at Erie's Bayfront Landing, serving casual American cuisine with panoramic views of Lake Erie's Presque Isle Bay, full bar service with signature cocktails, and indoor/outdoor seating across two rooftop decks. The Bayfront complex also houses sister venue Bay House Oyster Bar & Restaurant on the first floor, which features Erie's only fresh oyster bar and a wood-fired Argentine grill offering upscale seafood and steaks.

Product overview

Pier 6 Rooftop Bar & Restaurant is a dual-venue waterfront complex operated by John Russell Hospitality at Erie's Bayfront.

Both venues share the same complex at Bayfront Landing and are supported by centralized services including a multi-location rewards program (John Russell Hospitality Rewards), private event planning capabilities, and integration with Toast Tab for reservations and online ordering. The parent company also operates U Pick 6 craft beer pubs and John Russell Brewing Company as related brands within the hospitality group.
