This place is neither a paradise nor a bay, but for a bar it works pretty well. The beer is cheap and they have a large outdoor area that is a lot of fun during warmer weather. The apple pie shots are awesome and only $1

We found this place after the Lockport Car Show, had lunch last Friday, the Fish and it was so good we plan on eating the crab cakes today. I am sure they will be good too. Your Friends at Car Car Collision Center-Lockport.

Fun place to bring friends to throw Bags outside. Average drink specials but lousy service. Just grab a beer bucket and head out back to their patio area.

This is another pathetic lockport bad basement bar. It is located in a crumbling building along the canal. They have a bunch of cheap ugly parrot decorations and somehow they think they have a cool hip caribean theme bar. The kitchen looks scary and I would not feed a dog what likely comes from there. Like carters place they have video poker machines. the only nice thing is they have a cool outdoor section, but make no mistake this place is another lockport dive,

I visited this place on a Monday afternoon for a late lunch and an early happy hour. When you first walk in the place it looks like a Jimmy Buffet themed bar that would be in some old hippie's basement. The stools are old and tattered. It looks like a bar that might have been happening back in the late 70's or early 80's. It's your typical dive bar, but it has a charm to it. The beer garden also has the same tacky/silly decorations, but still very comfortable. Again, the stools are cruddy, but there are a few decent speakers to hear music, and a couple of flat screens. It's definitely a place to chill out, and have a relaxed good time. Aside from the run down appearance, and the rusty stools, the place is quite fun. Come as you are. My guest and I were wearing t-shirts and jeans, and the other folks at the bar were in their sports attire. A few people were dressed nicer than others, but no one seems to care what you're wearing or what your style is. It's just that kind of place... The age demographic is great too. I myself am in my mid twenties, but the place had everyone from the ages of 21-65. You gotta appreciate a place where everyone can have a good time regardless of age or appearances. I actually enjoyed the cheesy atmosphere. It's fun to look around at the old fashioned beer signs, and check out memorabilia. The theme is Floridian. It's fun in the summer, but as a Midwesterner I could totally appreciate this place in the dead of winter. The drink specials were decent. Ciders, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Twisted Tea were all 2 bucks a bottle. The drinks that aren't on special are still very affordable too. The food specials were one dollar tacos. I didn't try them, but they looked good enough. I had the blackened chicken Philly sandwich. It was surprisingly very good. The chicken was tender, and they didn't skimp on the veggies or cheese. Very yummy. The fries and coleslaw were pretty good too. All in all, this place has solid bar food. Nothing fancy, but it's still yummy and affordable. Another great thing about this place is that it has a juke box. People can play the music they want to hear, which is much better than some XM radio station that plays the same top 20 hits over and over again. I'd give this place 5 stars, but my only gripe is with the scummy stools. Besides that, this place is golden.

"It's like coming home," I exclaimed after stepping through the threshold of Paradise Bay last Saturday evening. It had been about five years since I visited my old haunt and it made me smile to see that not much had changed. For years, we spent summery nights in the beer garden, throwing down apple pie shots (the best shots on earth) between beers while we competed in bags tournaments and hung with our friends. And that was exactly the case upon our return last weekend. The bar isn't much to look at. The decor is not original nor is it particularly well executed. It is a basement bar with a tiki/carribean theme. However, their prized possession is their awesome outdoor area. Their "beer garden" is more of a pavered courtyard below street level. In fact, there is a wide stairway leading up to the street so patrons can enter the courtyard directly during the summer. There are two sets of really nice beanbag boxes and if you leave your ID at the bar, you can rent the bags to play for free. The courtyard is actually clean and far more updated than the look/feel of the bar or the building that houses it. The tables and chairs are all of the plastic patio variety but it is actually kind of fitting. The apple pie shot is definitely worth a tasting. At only $1 a shot, it is a fairly cheap crowd pleasure for buying "rounds." Will it get you completely drunk? Nah. But holy cow, it is the best tasting shot in town!

I rated this 3 stars because the night life aspect of the bar really sucks.. If you are looking for over served locals who may want to start a fight or run their mouth to you, then I would def try this out. My 3 stars go all toward the food in the afternoon. I tried the blackened chicken sandwich and the poor boy and they were both really good (cole slaw is good too). I guess I would recommend this place if you want some good bar food, but try to leave before 6 or 7 o'clock because that's when some interesting folks start rolling in....

Since there aren't any options for no stars, I guess I'll give it one star. Paradise Bay is your typical dive bar in Lockport. I was here for the Lockport St. Patrick's Day pub crawl on 3-14-15. I don't know what they were thinking having only two bartenders working with a million people there for the pub crawl but anyways, I have to say this is probably the worst service I've ever received at a bar. Got my first drink fairly quick and it tasted good but waited 1/2 hour (yes, 1/2 hour) for my second drink and a glass of water. The two bartenders were women and seemed to be serving all the guys first. I stood there for about 1/2 hour with my money in my hand but apparently I was invisible. I understand they were very busy, but they wouldn't even acknowledge me. Needless to say I wasn't the only angry person there. They bartender asked me twice what I wanted and the guy next to me even repeated it and they still gave me the wrong drink. I spent 1/2 waiting for the wrong drink. I'm suprised they didn't screw up the glass of water too! The bar we had come from down the street was also very busy with only two bartenders, but at least they were smiling like they were happy to be there. These bartenders didn't even crack a smile. I was going to order food but with all the chaos I decided to wait and hit Culver's on the way home. If you like dive bars with terrible service, this is the place to be!

I'm embarrassed that I even brought guests here let alone myself! I came on a recommendation from the employees of Paradise Bay at the Lockport Cruising Mondays. Come for the 1.00 tacos on Mondays! 7-21-14 One employee in the bar. I felt sorry for her. She did her best. Maybe 6 people sitting at the bar. No tables inside to dine at, So we sat outside in the heat, with flies all over. We were a party of 5. Waited 45 minutes for 8 tacos filled with a Tablespoon of meat! Waited 10 minutes for a drink. Only served once. Ordered 2 orders of greasy chips and salsa. All served in paper trays. Waitress / bartender / cook said they ran out of meat ,so they had to cook more. I should've taken a picture. No napkins, no silverware, no service. Sorry, but we are not coming back. Not going to recommend this place. If your going to sit and drink yourself into a stooper, this is your place! Don't come to eat here.

The food here is really good. Reminds me of the kind of bar you'd find in Wisconsin.Friendly regulars, good prices, good dive bar!

Not "just another Lockport dive"... THE Lockport Dive! That's exactly why I like it! The service is good, but slow when they're busy- just like ANY bar. I have had many meals (and apple pie shots) there- and my favorite has to be their hot corned beef sandwich. Delicious! Also, since my house has no basement, it makes an awesome tornado rally point. FYI- they just recently redecorated- for anyone reading an old review. I don't think Key West, FL is "Caribbean" so take other reviewers with a grain of salt- and maybe some lime.

Excellent place to grab a cheeseburger for lunch. Nice bartenders who take care of you if you're nice to them and the beer is always cold. Not a very scenic place, but the outdoor beer garden is one of the only ones in downtown Lockport , so it's a great place to spend a summer's evening. I say if you're in the area, give it a whirl!
