Best Place to Drink With Bass Pros
Tirebiters, Osage Beach, Mo.
573-348-1177
Unlike most of the bars and restaurants in this vacation hotbed, Tirebiters sits off the main drag and feels more like a log cabin tucked back in the woods. The bar has become the destination of choice for tournament bass fishermen after a day in competition on Lake of the Ozarks, as they can easily find a spot in the large parking lot for their rigs and boats.
Bud Light is the preferred beverage and the table fare includes burgers, steaks, ribs and pork chops. They aren't on the menu, but ask for some of the house-special smoked wings, topped with cayenne pepper and Parmesan cheese.
The 1,000-square-foot deck out back provides the perfect shaded spot to suck some suds, scarf some wings and argue with your buddies about why the bass just didn't seem to take to chartreuse baits that day.
