[northlight9]

It is Hamilton's on 58, said there was a disagreement with the new landlord. I asked if they where planning on reopening else ware and she said no. According to the sign they had posted they had been open for 70 years.

How do you get there from Ooltewah? Thanks.

Hwy 58 turns into Bonny Oaks drive just past 153. Go down the hill under the railroad trestle and over the creek bridge and it's on your left.

[Rob Lee]

Wow hate to see them close always a friendly bunch up their and pretty convenient place to make a stop before hitting the lake

 

[RobN]

I hate that - very convenient and nice group of folks

 

[TNTall]

What a bummer. Surely somebody will fill the void.

I hate to hear this. Great shop, great people, great memories.

Four owners in 70 years. The same family, different members have owned it since 1983.

Good people. They had a custom line of SB's in there that I used to buy years ago that were deadly on the Brownfish. I bought my fair share of them until I started pouring my own....
