Our waterside destination is situated on the beautiful Lake Jesup and we offer endless excitement and entertainment for all our guests. Of all our amenities, there may be none more relaxing than our completely renovated Lazy Gator Bar!

We completely rehauled our bar so that our guests could enjoy food, drink, and good company in the exact kind of “getaway” atmosphere that they deserve. This spot is the perfect location to wind down and relax at any point during your escape to The Black Hammock! As if you need any more of a reason to come visit us in the heart of Central Florida, we’re breaking down everything there is to love about our Lazy Gator Bar below.

View of the Water

Lake Jesup contains 16,000 acres of open water and flood plains and all our guests get a front row seat! There’s nothing quite like relaxing with a cold drink in hand and a magnificent view of the water. You can either stay in the comfort of indoors and grab a barstool overlooking the water, or take the party outside to the outdoor patio right by the waterside.

Drink Specials – 2 for 1 Margaritas & More

At The Black Hammock, every day is a celebration! That’s why we offer 2-for-1 margaritas at the Lazy Gator Bay all day, every day. Plus, we keep all your favorite beers, sodas, and more cold for you. Come inside for a refreshing drink and you may just want to stick around for more.

Outdoor Seating

There’s no place better than The Black Hammock when it comes to experiencing “Old Florida.” Orlando Weekly said it best: “with its moss-covered cypress trees, airboat tours, and alligator exhibits, this bar is all about being at one with nature while having a good time.” Grab a table on the Lazy Gator Bar’s outdoor patio and see for yourself what makes our corner of Lake Jesup so remarkable.
