1. Temple Bar Marina
Enjoy spectacular views of the lake from the Temple Bar Marina, which offers a great menu. You can go for an American-style fish and chips, or try out a burger or sandwich. Anyone accessing the lake from the Arizona stretch can enjoy beautiful beaches, coves and tranquillity that makes it worth the drive down to the lake.
2. Lake Mead Cruises
The only thing that is better than dining by the water is dining on the water. Lake Mead Cruises have a paddle wheeler cruise ship on which diners can enjoy brunch or dinner in the lake's waters. The meals aboard the ship include various meats, including seafood served as dinner, and the brunch menu is also diverse, with plenty of champagne.
3. Boulder Dam Brewing Co
A perfect place to visit and enjoy a few beers by the lake is the Boulder Dam Brewing and Co patio. There is ample space to host group seating and several hand-crafted beers to choose from every day. You can enjoy a cold beer alongside bitings such as burgers, pretzels, wings and more. It's a beautiful space decorated by some of the items used in the Hoover Dam, not too far off, giving it a pleasant industrial and historical feel to the establishment.
4. Fountain Site Lounge
Although the fountain behind the name of this establishment is long gone, Fountain Site Lounge is still a beautiful place by the lake to explore. The meals are affordable and include salads, fish, burgers, chips and more. Wash them all down with a cold beer or wine of choice as you enjoy the scenic views that surround the restaurant.
5. Momo Sushi
On a hot day, you can enjoy sushi and sashimi at Momo Sushi, and they go perfectly with a cold cocktail available at affordable prices. There are lunch specials if you visit during the daytime made in true Asian style. Dessert is also available, and highly recommended is the mochi.
6. The Tap
The name comes from the ever-flowing selection of craft beers on draft available at the outlet. The Tap is an upscale location that serves a broad American menu. Notable meal choices include a pork belly taco, fries, hotdogs and more.
