Live Entertainment

by

One of the best parts of lake life is eating outside, and the Deck Bar and Grill takes that to heart. Join us from Memorial Day to Labor Day in an outdoor setting for happy hour, appetizers, or dinner. We’ll be serving up delicious burgers, tacos, drinks, and kids’ meals, as well as beautiful views of Lake Darling.

But don’t worry—if the weather is bad (or the season is over), you’ll still find delicious meals inside at Rafters Lounge.

 

Enjoy live music by Robb Justice at the Deck Bar and Grill // located at Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center.
