Lakefront Cocktails: Classic Summer Sips at PIER 290

Golden hour on Lake Geneva calls for something chilled and refreshing in hand. Whether you’ve docked your boat, snagged a patio table, or sunk your toes into the sand, our lakeside cocktails are designed for relaxed sipping and unforgettable views. 

At PIER 290, our drink menu pairs lake breeze with bartender craft. You’ll find elevated twists on classics, house-made infusions, and summer-ready refreshers—all served with casual elegance. 

Signature sips to try 

Traditional Bloody Mary 
A brunch staple with lakefront flair. Our Bloody Mary follows our bar manager’s family recipe—vodka, V8 juice, spices, and Lea & Perrins Worcestershire—garnished with lemon and olives. Want a beer chaser? Just ask. 

The 290 John Daly 
Our in-house black tea–infused vodka meets lemonade (or water and lemon) for a spiked iced tea that’s bright, smooth, and unmistakably summer. Created by PIER 290 manager Adam Farrell. 

Cool Cucumber 
Light, crisp, and refreshingly simple. This gin-based cocktail blends house lemonade with cucumber and a splash of soda—ideal for sipping in the shade under our canopies.

Each of our venue spaces adds something special: 

  • Beach: Live music and lakefront lounging 
  • Canopies: Breezy shade with scenic views 
  • Patio: First-come, first-served seats on the water
