Rum Runner is located right by Lake Erie, making it a perfect spot to watch the sunset while enjoying your food and drinks.
Everything we tried today was delicious. All the fried seafood was fresh and came with three sauces (my favorite is the cold sweet sauce). The burger was juicy and well-seasoned.
I really love their special cocktails—my go-tos are the Passion Colada and the Rum Runner. Both drinks are refreshing and perfect for summer.
The staff is friendly and welcoming.
Had a great time here and will definitely be back!

We were visiting Erie, PA and decided on Rum Runners for a late lunch because it has seating right on the waterfront looking out to Presque Isle. We both ordered perch and French fries, which were very good. The restaurant is all part of the Bicentennial Tower complex in Erie, which is a must see if you are in the area. Our server was very pleasant and attentive to our table and we had a good experience while enjoying the view. Check out the “pirate ship” that swung by while we were eating.

WOW….what a find !! Wish I had more “stars” to give them. Got there early, by the time we left…. ALL outside tables were full !!
We were looking for a spot on the water to eat lunch…. We found the best place.
Right on the water, able to see the Bicentennial Tower clearly and watching the geese and boats come into & out of the Marina.
We sat outside and Brook was our Server. Delightful lady with a great smile. Very attentive. We ordered our drinks & the Debbie’s Burger with fries & coleslaw. The hamburger was cooked perfectly medium rare and spot on seasoning. Fries were not super crunchy but they were good. Kudos to the Chef !!!
Almost wish we lived here just to get lunch here again. Highly recommended.

***Update, my wife and I both got food poisoning from the burger***
Rum Runners used to be one of my favorite spots years ago, but our recent visit left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.
The setting is definitely still a highlight—right on the water with great views, and the prices are very reasonable, especially for a waterfront restaurant. We also appreciated our server’s honesty. She was juggling too many tables and let us know upfront that service might be slow, which it was, but I don’t fault her at all. She was doing her best, and her transparency was appreciated.
Unfortunately, a few other aspects fell short. The outdoor seating was extremely windy, which made it tough to keep lightweight items like napkins and menus on the table. There’s also very little shade, so the direct sun can be uncomfortable—especially for older guests or young kids.
Food-wise, everything was just okay. My burger tasted slightly off (**two days later, I am updating to say that my wife and I both got food poisoning from this burger we shared**), and while the mammoth pretzel looked impressive, it lacked that distinct pretzel flavor. Fries were good, but could have used a little salt. None of it was terrible, but nothing stood out either, and with so many other options in the Erie area, I walked away wishing we’d tried somewhere new.
Live music was setting up as we were finishing, which could have been a nice touch—though the crew setting up was smoking, and the wind carried it right into our table, which was unpleasant while trying to eat.
All in all, it’s still a nice spot for a drink or a casual bite thanks to the location and affordability, but I’m sad to see how much it has declined compared to what I remember from years ago.

I like to come at least once a season, and everytime I come i remember why it’s usually once or twice a season lol, atmosphere is awesome being right by the water on a nice day, seeing the boats, watching people pull up on their boat, they have bands sometimes, it’s always a nice time. With that being said the drinks are sooo overpriced , the food isn’t bad, not great, just a very basic menu, but paying $10-12 a drink it’s not somewhere I would stay and hang out, one shot was $10 & the frozen drink was $12
Ended up shooting up to that place after we left and paid 7.50 for 2 of the same shots I get they’re only open for the season but still

We stopped here for drinks and a bite to eat on 7/3/25. I had a Passion Colada which was good. We also had the Macho Nacho’s. The chips were broken, otherwise the nachos were good. Rum Runners is right on the docks in downtown Erie, Pa so the atmosphere is very nice.

Nice place with indoor and outdoor seating. We were there Friday with live band. Drinks were good and Willie was great taking care of us. You can watch the boats come and go from the marina.

Came here by boat and had a spot to dock. There’s a nice outside bar and plenty of seating. They had live music too which was enjoyable! We had the crispy shrimp and the fried fish sandwich (picture). It was all very good and the tartar sauce was great on it too. We had some drinks which were strong but no complaints about that. Can’t wait to be back!

Nice outdoor patio with live music on the night we went. We could also see the pirate show happening in the bay. Very loud at times as the boats go into the marina. Food was decent. Staff was great. Very friendly.

Was recommended this place while visiting Erie. We sat at the outdoor bar for over 15 minutes before being greeted by someone. A member of our party had to go inside and ask for menus. We ordered coconut shrimp that were just okay. They charge for sauces even though you would assume you get one complimentary with your shrimp. No music, lackluster view.
