You gotta want to get to Papa Boo’s to enjoy it. Way deep into Buckeye Lake. Once there, it’s super for people watching, relaxing and cheap food and beer. As far as I know the only place on Buckeye Lake for music, entertainment and fun. They call it Key West in Ohio, and hey, it works. Enjoy!…

Solid bar food and good music at a reasonable price .Known locally as the best trained servers. Reportedly these people train like the major chains on service and menu. Lots of boat docking spaces.
