OUR STORY
Welcome to Lake Bums Bar & Grill
Located at 205 Stevens Gap Road, right in the bustling center of Hochatown, Oklahoma, Lake Bums Bar & Grill is the ultimate backyard hangout for lake lovers, locals, and travelers alike. Originally known to long-time visitors as The Eat Out, our space transitioned into Lake Bums to perfectly capture the carefree, sun-soaked spirit of nearby Broken Bow Lake.
Recently, a new chapter began under the ownership of Todd Peele and Susie Myers. While the names on the lease have changed, our commitment to the community has only grown. We are fully dedicated to keeping the vibrant, laid-back energy alive while introducing exciting enhancements to give you an unforgettable experience every time you step through our doors.
