Coleman's Dock Of The Bay
About This Spot
Stepping into Coleman's Dock Of The Bay, you’re immediately welcomed by the gentle rhythm of the St. Lawrence River just beyond the covered patio. This spot carries the relaxed energy of a well-loved local watering hole with a view — where time seems to slow, and conversations drift as naturally as the boats moored nearby. It’s the kind of place where the summer sun warms your shoulders and the occasional breeze carries the faint scent of the water, inviting you to settle in and stay awhile.
The pace here is unhurried, encouraging guests to soak up the waterfront scene while sharing moments over drinks and plates that feel both approachable and thoughtfully made. Specialty cocktails like a spiked lemonade or a fruity “Mermaid Water” add a splash of brightness to the day, balancing perfectly with the comforting appeal of hearty BBQ ribs, creamy mac and cheese, and fresh salads that nod to the season. Whether you’re dining al fresco or inside with a glimpse of the marina, the atmosphere hums with a casual friendliness that makes you feel like part of a community gathering.
This is a place where attentive, familiar service quietly ensures you have everything you need without rushing or fuss. It’s equally suited to a lively afternoon stop after a boat ride or a leisurely meal shared with friends and family, framed by the natural beauty of Alexandria Bay. At Coleman's Dock Of The Bay, the food, drinks, and water’s edge all come together to create a quietly joyful experience — an invitation to relax deeply, taste simply good food, and embrace the easy rhythm of a day on the river.

My husband and I visited during our vacation to Alexandria Bay. The location is wonderful, you can sit outside under a covered patio right next to the water. The service was great and they had nice drink specials. I had a spiked strawberry lemonade, which was very refreshing. The server was friendly and attentive. We had the yellow fin tuna appetizer which was spectacular. It may have been my favorite from our entire vacation! We split the Grilled Chicken and Walnut Salad and the BBQ Brisket. Everything was delicious and very reasonably priced. Highly recommend!

This was a fun place right on the St. Lawrence river. It has boat docking available and easy car parking on the street… but take some quarters as the older style parking meters only take quarters. We had a nice lunch with Cam as our server. I had a tomato stuffed with Albacore tuna (I did ask for and was served it on a bed of Romaine instead of the mixed greens as advertised). It was very good! I also had some pretty tasty Mac and cheese. That was so good that we took an extra serving home as “take-out”. My lovely wife had the chicken sandwich with homemade chips. She said that it was good. It was a great stop. Reasonably priced.

Great stop. Bang Bang Shrimp was tasty. So went there again tonight. The atmosphere was fantastic. The service was fantastic. But the meal was very dry and not a lot of flavor. It was the chicken rib and brisket combo.. I don’t know if we’ll be back after this. I certainly wouldn’t order that combo again.

Good overall. Would go again. BBQ was quite good. BBQ ribs, brisket, chicken were well cooked and seasoned. Mac and cheese was excellent. Draft beers were served ice cold. Good service. We sat outside with a view of the marina under a cover out of the sun (it was a hot sunny day when we visited).
