With over 20,000 square feet facing the beach on Oneida Lake, Pfohl’s Beachouse is a popular place to be. The Beachouse is a club located on the east shore of the lake in Sylvan Beach. Pfohl’s hosts beach parties every Saturday and Sunday on their spacious deck. They also have some of the area's best bands performing on the big stage inside on weekend nights.
Pfohl’s has two full service bars. The Sunset Room is the upper level bar with the best view of the lake. The main bar inside has the largest stage on the beach. The Beach Bar, deemed a “tiki bar,” has seating overlooking the beach as well as facing a stage where live music is provided.
The bars serve daily from noon until close with daily food and drink specials. There is indoor patio seating or outdoor deck seating available.
Pfohl's Beachouse also offers seasonal (May through September) overnight accommodations available at daily, weekly or monthly rates. All rooms overlook the Village Park and Sylvan Beach Amusement Park. The rooms are comfortable and very affordable. “They are the best rate on the beach,” states Karen Norton, partial owner of the establishment. The Beachouse is within a short walking distance of all restaurants, shops, the canal and the beach. There is also private parking available for overnight guests.
With the Sunset Room just re-opened, Pfohl’s is “the nicest bar on the beach.” The Sunset Room as been closed for the past nine years.
The club has hosted acts such as Warrant, Quiet Riot, Rick Derringer, Foghat, and Benny Mardonis. The first national band Pfohl’s ever hosted was the Birds.
Pfohl’s Beachouse has been open for about 28 years and it has spent most of its time in the Pfohl family. Frank Pfohl, owner and operator, has been in the restaurant business most of his life. His father owned several establishments, including Pfohl’s Tavern, Phoenix Tavern, the Clay hotel, and Hotel Oneida.
The Beachouse hosts a bike night every Tuesday. “Bikes and the Beach” is a very popular night with most nights having at least 200 bikers show up. The band Cato plays from 6:30pm to 9:30pm every Tuesday.
They are also looking to start other events during the week such as a trivia night and a comedy night. They also hold bikini contests on holiday weekends.
Pfohl’s also hosts a beach party every Saturday and Sunday evening. These parties consist of drink specials, bands under the tent on the outdoor patio, and an outdoor grill. Pfohl himself grills specials from salt potatoes to coneys. They feature most Hofmann products throughout the evening.
“I started doing these beach parties 28 years ago,” explains Pfohl. He continues by boasting, “Now everyone else has copied me.”
With the Beachouse boasting to be “old-fashioned,” the small staff of about 12 works really hard and as a team. Everyone pitches in where needed. And with this idea of old-fashioned business, even though it is a bar, Pfohl’s is a great place to take the family. With kid friendly music and entertainment, it’s a place everyone can enjoy.
There is even a kids menu at only $4.25 that comes with several choices that will satisfy any palette. Many other popular items grace the menu, such as chicken speedies, burgers, and quesadillas.
The burger with fries is only $6.95 and the quesadillas start at $5.95. From sandwiches and grill fare to salads, appetizers, and sides, the menu is sure to please anyone.
Another special offered on the menu is the steamed clams for only $6.95 per dozen.
The Beachouse also has a full drink menu including some favorites such as Blue Hawaiians, Margaritas, Rum Runners, and a number of frozen drinks. They also have several choices of bottled and draught beer.
For the holiday weekend of July 4, the bands are already booked. On Friday, July 2, “The Bomb” will be playing. On Saturday, July 3, “Under the Gun” will be playing. Pfohl’s also brags the best view for fireworks on Monday, July 5. “But make sure you get here early,” states Norton. “The place fills up quickly because the fireworks are lit just a short distance away from the bar.”
