This is one of the more upscale places in Osage that would require more than some sandals and tank tops, but their food is absolutely amazing. Great family owned business - with some old school charm.

Nightlife
This little strip doesn’t look like much during the day, but at night it’s a hot spot for bars and entertainment. I would highly recommend checking it out.
The Bagnell Damn strip is almost like a step back in time. Small bars, great atmosphere, entertainment for kids, and some of the best drinks on the lake.

Traveler advice
Book before you go
Micheal’s Steak Chalet
One of our favorite little spots where you can sit outside and enjoy a perfectly cooked steak and see some amazing views of the lake ! Make reservations and request outdoor seating.
Getting around
Travel by boat
If you really want to see the lake in it’s full glory , bring your boat or rent a boat and travel by water. The best part for me is taking the boat to some of our favorite restaurants, like Paradise or Red Headed Yacht Club. It’s also fun to look at all the beautiful houses situated perfectly on the water.
