Dock. Dine. Unwind.
Tucked along Sister Bay’s scenic shoreline between The Waterfront and Yacht Works Marina, The Cleat offers a relaxed, come-as-you-are dining experience rooted in Door County’s rich maritime history. Opened in March 2025, this dockside eatery quickly became a go-to gathering spot for both locals and visitors, continuing a long-standing tradition of hospitality on this storied site, once home to beloved institutions like JJ’s and La Puerta.
With indoor seating and an outdoor bar just steps from the water, The Cleat embraces a “Dock & Dine” philosophy, welcoming guests by land or by boat. The menu highlights local flavors and approachable favorites from fish tacos and juicy burgers to after-hours pizza perfect for late-night cravings. Whether you’re soaking in the sunset with a craft cocktail or grabbing a casual bite with family, The Cleat delivers a fresh take on familiar comfort.
More than just a restaurant, The Cleat lives its tagline: anchored in community, moored to flavor — a celebration of place, taste, and togetherness.
