Property Description

Howie's on Hamilton is an established, full-service restaurant, bar, and entertainment destination situated along the southeast corner of Hamilton Lake in Hamilton, Indiana. The business combines a scenic waterfront setting with approachable dining, a thoughtfully developed beverage program, live entertainment, and year-round special events. Originally operated as the Hamilton House, the restaurant was acquired by its current owners in fall 2021 and repositioned as Howie's on Hamilton. Extensive improvements followed throughout the facility — all four bathrooms, plumbing and piping, new flooring, upgrades to the balcony, patio, and tiki-bar areas, and a complete commercial kitchen renovation. The concept is 'Lakeside Americana' — burgers, wings, salads, tacos, sandwiches, flatbreads, and seafood, paired with a full bar of house cocktails, fresh-squeezed citrus, and house-made syrups and mixers. The venue seats 160 total (80 interior / 80 exterior) across 4 dining and bar zones.
