Coconut Joe's - Erie

It's truly disappointing that the EDDC will be closing Coconut Joe's this year, as it has become a beloved fixture in Erie. However, I have no doubt that Dave will recover and open another bar next year. Who doesn't enjoy a tiki bar outdoors? And if that atmosphere isn't your style, there are three other bars inside to choose from!

I absolutely love the bartenders and the owner; they are always friendly and create a fantastic atmosphere. Whenever I have the chance to catch the band, they are amazing too. This place is definitely my favorite spot. My only complaint is that they close during the winter!

Fast and friendly bar service. Great live music! Cornhole on the slower days. Great over all vibe, atmosphere, and staff.

This place is surprisingly nice. The outdoor area has a tiki vibe, and it is connected to Revolution, which is more of an upscale venue. I wasn't expecting a nice upstairs lounge area in there, and a dance floor with multiple bar stations inside, connected to another room with additional bartenders. Drinks are cheap too. The mixed drinks when I went varied from $3.50-$5.

My first visit to Coconut Joe's was quite crowded, which was understandable since it was the weekend. If you need to use the bathroom, it might be best to be patient because the wait can be pretty long! However, the atmosphere was great, and I really enjoyed my time there.
