Favorite place to go with friends!

Great atmosphere and beers! I would recommend calling before hand to see if they will have a band and/or if its a karaoke night, both are fun. There is generally delicious food available in a separate area, which reminds you of a food truck type of service.

Marinas On Center Hill Lake

Pate's Ford Marina (PFM) is five minutes from our driveway. On the weekend it is "THE" happening place. The restaurant has good food and amazing frozen drinks (Strongly recommend the Bush Whackers & Miami Vices). Also at Fishlipz on Friday and Saturday nights around 8:00 the entertainment begins. We are blessed that the owner of Tootsie's Orchard Lounge, Kid Rocks, The Diner, and Rippys downtown Nashville owns PFM and he brings in amazing entertainers from Nashville. Also, it must be said, that you never know who you will see in the restaurant, as Country Music Entertainers have been known to drop in and hit the stage for impromptu singing.

Horseshoe Bend is located towards Rock Island (past PFM). It is a very small quaint marina that has a lot of personality (in our opinion). They sell gas, beer, and a very limited menu/drinks. Great souvenirs/shirts/hats/fun stuff. If you stop by there be sure to tell Jackie "hello" as she is the heartbeat of that marina.

Sligo Marina is located halfway up the lake, right under the bridge. Their restaurant is amazing, as are their drinks! If you happen to stop by be sure to ask the bartender, Winnie, for her signature drink "The Winnie" you wont be disappointed, and it has almost zero calories. Also, we go there randomly just for their clam strips! Yum O! I cant say enough good things about Sligo!! They make you feel like family.

Edgar Evins marina is has a very good restaurant. I cant say a lot about it because I've honestly not visited it but a couple times. Since it is so far up the lake. This is the marina that is closest to the dam wall - which some people actually go kiss the wall or write on it at night.
