Old Riverside Pavilion opened in 2010 under the Proprietorship of Niels Lausten. It quickly became the "place to go" in Lake Lure, for not only it's residents, but for many of its over 49,000 estimated visitors a year to the Hickory Nut Gorge Visitors Center. It boast favorites like its many flavors of Chicken Wings and it's homemade Potato Salad. The 2011 Spring Opening will be March 17, 2011, just in time for St. Patty's Day. Plans for the year will continue to make Old Riverside Pavilion an incredible place to dine at, dance at, listen to fantastic music at, and to get a really good beer. The place to be - music from the river and a tune from Old Riverside Pavilion.
