The Big Owl Tiki Bar
OPENING DAY
APRIL 15, 2026
We look forward to serving you again, when we reopen for our 20th season, in 2026!
Delicious food and tasty cocktails.
We take pride in the food we serve and the drinks we pour! Our food is delicious, our drinks go down smooth, and the price is just right! From our infamous fish tacos, burgers and kid pleasing options, we are sure to have something for everyone in your family.
The best live music on the eastern shore.
One of the things we are most known for, besides our amazing dockside water views, is our music! We book some of the best local artists and host many special events throughout the season that feature some very well known groups!
The most stunning sunset views on the shore.
As the sun sets on the eastern shore, it seems to do so a little more “vibrantly” here at The Big Owl. Located right on the waters of the Chesapeake, our tiki dock bar provides some of the most gorgeous, unobstructed sunset views on Kent Island.
