Walk there or tie up your boat at their dock. It's in the heart of Maple Bay. Friday night is the best night if you like it busy. There's often live music. Nice covered outdoor patio too. Shuttle available if you've been over-served.
BTW, they sold the liquor store. There's a little general store in it's place. I hear they sell coffee and ice cream plus other things.
