In addition to a wonderful restaurant and bar, JB Hook's  has always been an excellent private event venue at the Lake of the Ozarks for hosting all of the special events in your life. Now we've got more room to host you than ever! In addition to the public dining areas open daily, there are 3 spacious rooms that may be rented out for all types of private gatherings. The East Wing Windows Since we now have the brand new West Wing open for dinner nightly at our fine dining restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks , the former main dining room is available for private events.

Seating can be arranged in a variety of ways to accommodate your event. The Garden Room Our lovely Garden Room sits between the original dining room and the West Wing.

Everyone has at least one person on their gift-giving list that is extremely difficult to buy for. It could be because they have everything they need already, or possibly they are a new friend and you're not quite sure what they already have. Instead of picking out some random "stuff" to wrap up, give them the gift of a wonderful experience instead! Here are a few great ideas from JB Hook's on how you can do just that. Gift Cards While some people see gift cards as an easy way out of having to pick a present, if you buy someone a gift card for an experience, it's like gifting them with an adventure! Rather than giving a gift card to a store where they will get more "stuff" to keep track of, pick out a gift card for a place that they can go to and enjoy some time out of the house as a special treat. For example, a gift card to our Lake of the Ozarks fine dining restaurant is perfect for anyone that is already of fan of JB Hook's because you ...
