Lake Chickamauga's Top of the Dock closes

Friday, May 24, 2013

Top of the Dock on Lake Chickamauga has closed after the owner of the Lake Resort Drive building terminated the restaurant lease.

In a web posting, Top of the Dock said it "unfortunately closed due to complications with our lease."

The lakefront restaurant at the Lakeshore Marina was cited in April by the Chattanooga Beer Board for litter and broken glass around the restaurant. The city gave the restaurant a 3-day suspension from selling alcohol after neighboring residents complained about the restaurant operations. The beer board was told that the restaurant didn't have insurance or a building permit for one of its decks.
