If you're a Toby Keith fan it is not outside the realm of possibility that he frequented this place. Now, this is not an attempt at misleading anyone. Idk if Toby Keith ever came to Lake Oconee or not. But I do Love This Bar. Great staff, great crowd, and a good place to shoot pool. I would call it a great place, but for the limited space and limited number of pool tables. They have 3 bar box Diamonds and if you play billiards then you know that a Diamond is hard not to love.

I LOVE this business, the people who work here, and the people...

The locals are friendly and are always will to start a casual conversation. Fridayâs are a blast with karaoke. People there have your back no matter what.
