Fantastic scenery on the water, nearby the house. It's a small outdoor neighborhood bar that has been continually upgraded. There is live music on weekend nights from 7-9 PM. Several neighbors also offer pontoon rides around the lake for a small fee ($5 or so). This bar is featured in one of the photos on our listing. Get there at sunset for the best views!

We love going here with a group of friends or family for birthdays etc. There is a large area with Corn hole boards, ping pong and a few other games. Food is good but in my opinion is somewhat limited in choices. (Try the Brussels sprouts, though..)
