Super fun time here! Buddy and I were biking from Pittsburgh to Buffalo and Mickey rats was such an awesome stop. It felt like you were at some Caribbean beach club. Beers were ice cold, view of lake was astounding, and the service was super awesome and friendly! We didn’t want to leave but alas needed to bike on.
Nice, clean Beach. Just wish the boats would leave some space for the people. No lifeguard, so floaties and things of the sort ARE allowed. Beach and parking is free. Restuarants and bathrooms available
Loungers in the beach with chairside service and a live DJ. What more can you ask for! Are their burritos made with Old El Paso mix from TOPS? Yes. But everything tastes good when you are soaking up the sun at a beach club that feels like it was plucked straight out of the Florida Keys.
Great place to have a drink and view the lake. We even had a chance to see two people riding horses on the sand and swimming in the water! Our visit was on a Sunday afternoon and the patrons include people of all ages...
Getting married at The Beach Club at Mickey Rats
Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
