The Round House Bar

The Round House began it’s life as the Columbia Restaurant in 1873. Ever since, it has been an island landmark and destination. Both as the Columbia and the current Roundhouse Bar, it has been an island favorite since its early days. As the Columbia Restaurant, it was well known for ice cream, cottage cheese, and ice-cold beer.

 Ice harvested from Lake Erie in the winter kept products cold all summer long. Ice was stored in “ice houses” and covered in thick layers of sawdust to prevent it from melting. The Round House is known for its round red shape and the round bar inside. The McCann family has owned and operated the building since the 1950s. They painted the exterior the iconic red, white, and blue and also commissioned two islanders to stitch together the canopy, which still hangs from the ceiling to this day.
