Our Story

RIP Tavern, founded in 2024 and located along the iconic Bagnell Dam Strip, is a vibrant bar and grill built on a passion for service, community, and great experiences. Owner Jon, a dedicated military medic with 17 years of service, brought that same commitment to caring for others into the hospitality world. After years of helping people in critical moments, he set out to create a place where guests could relax, connect, and enjoy life. RIP Tavern is the result—a welcoming destination where great food, entertainment, and atmosphere come together.

Serving communities including Lake Ozark, Camdenton, Osage Beach, Linn Creek, Eldon, Lebanon, Sunrise Beach, and Gravois Mills, RIP Tavern has quickly become a go-to spot for both locals and visitors at the Lake of the Ozarks. Known for its high-end bar food and lively environment, the tavern offers a menu packed with flavor and variety. Guests can enjoy juicy burgers, crispy wings, hearty sandwiches, fresh salads, and satisfying pasta dishes, all prepared with quality ingredients. On weekends, RIP Tavern takes things up a notch with breakfast and brunch service, serving up delicious morning favorites that make it the perfect place to start your day at the lake.

Beyond the food, RIP Tavern delivers a full entertainment experience that keeps guests coming back. The venue features live music performances, DJs, and a variety of events that create an energetic and fun atmosphere day and night. Whether you’re looking to unwind with friends or enjoy a lively night out, there’s always something happening. Guests can challenge each other to games of pool or darts, adding a competitive and social element to every visit.
