Shipwreck Cove

The Local’s Take

“Lake-casual marina bar with a floating deck”

Shipwreck Cove is the bar and grill at Elm Hill Marina on Percy Priest Lake, with a floating wooden deck among the boats and a pirate-themed room inside (ship-shaped bar, mermaid figurehead, skeletons). It is a family-owned, lake-casual spot for smash burgers, wings, fried pickles, fish and chips and frozen Bushwackers, with local bands on the deck in warm months.

In football season it shows the games on every TV, with beer and Bloody Mary specials on Sunday Funday; ask the bar about happy hour. It is open Wednesday to Sunday and closed Monday and Tuesday, and hours shift with the lake season, so call before a Wednesday trip.
