Dining, Entertainment & Shopping
Back at Reynolds, fine dining is not hard to find. Venture to the finishing hole of the Bluff nine for a dining experience unlike any other. The National Tavern will tempt you with seasonal and locally sourced ingredients for a casual lunch or an intimate dinner. This rustic pub setting is known for its wine pairings and has been awarded the Wine Spectator’s Restaurant Award three consecutive times.
Or, for year-round entertainment, venture to Griffin and take in a show at the private event space known as the Lakeside Pavilion concert venue. Resting on 32 gorgeous acres and an eight-acre bass lake, Lakeside Pavilion is an iconic setting for outdoor play, live music, and special events. The kids will have plenty to do, too, with sports fields and a 5,000-square-foot roofed pavilion that is perfect for stargazing and campfires.
