Times Spent Outdoors: Priceless!

We Highly Recommend This Place - Boat, Dine, Celebrate, Cool Off At The Watershed

Right on the water at The Lakes in Tempe is a remarkable restaurant that has become a favorite of locals and visitors alike.

It's hard to believe, but yes, there is a lake and there are boats right in the middle of Tempe, Ariz. My husband and I were residents of this beautiful area, The Lakes, for four years and enjoyed every minute of our time there.

Now, years later, we love returning to The Lakes with a special destination in mind: The Watershed restaurant. It is one of our favorites. Being lakeside, it is also a cool alternative for escaping the summer heat.

Besides this great feature, you can enjoy modern American fare in an airy lakeside setting with a patio, fireplace, live music, and a large bar.

A Great Menu

The Watershed, Tempe's Lake House Bar & Grill, has a menu that is best described as Modern American with twists on familiar classics - everything is made from scratch and to order.

The menu reflects some of these favorites - new and old: Burgers, Fish & Chips, Ribs, Wings, Bruschettas, Croquettes, Seafood Cocktail, Guinness Braised Tri-Tip, Gumbo, Shepherd's Pie, Salads, Tacos, Green Chile Meatloaf, Sandwiches and more.

They also offer a fully stocked bar with specialty cocktails, various wines by the glass and bottle, and 20 beers on tap.

And, Hop Onboard

Guests are welcome to take a guided cruise around the lake in the Watershed's pontoon boat. We have done this with family and friends, and it is a beautiful ride.
