Summer on the lake just lost a familiar soundtrack. Two seasonal Scoreboard restaurants that anchored busy marinas outside Nashville will not reopen, the company has confirmed.
The shutdown hits Scoreboard Cedar Creek in Mt. Juliet and Scoreboard Four Corners near Antioch, both of which had carved out a niche as warm-weather, lakefront hangouts offering food, drinks, and live music to boaters and weekend crowds.
Owner Barrett Hobbs told The Tennessean on Feb. 27 that the two marina locations "will not reopen," citing rising operating costs as the main culprit. The decision covers the Old Hickory Lake operation at Cedar Creek Marina and the Percy Priest Lake outpost at Four Corners Resort. Company representatives did not immediately outline a timeline for staff transitions or potential lease changes with the marinas.
Who runs Scoreboard
The lake spots were spin-offs of the flagship Scoreboard near Music Valley, which Hobbs' group operates, according to Scoreboard Opry. Hobbs is also listed as a proprietor on the Tennessee Hospitality & Tourism Association membership roster, connecting him directly to the chain's local footprint.
The marina locations were marketed as seasonal extensions of the Music Valley brand, taking the same formula of live music and late-night menus and dropping it right on the water for boat-up service.
Where the lakefront spots sat
Scoreboard Cedar Creek operated at 9120 Saundersville Road at Cedar Creek Marina, while Scoreboard Four Corners ran at 4027 Lavergne Couchville Pike at the Four Corners Resort Marina. Local business listings and job boards show those addresses and describe the venues as seasonal waterfront bars; see listings and postings on Cedar City Brewing and Indeed. Those postings promoted summer-only service and marina-ready operations in recent seasons.
Why owners say they closed and what’s next
Hobbs told The Tennessean that rising food, labor, and overhead expenses made the seasonal marina concepts unsustainable.
The company says the flagship Scoreboard near Music Valley is still open and will continue hosting live music and events, according to Scoreboard Opry. Guests with gift cards or other questions were directed there for the latest information.
For boaters and weekend diners, the closures likely mean quieter summers on Old Hickory and Percy Priest lakes while marina operators and any potential new vendors sort out plans for those waterfront spaces. We will keep an eye on public filings and local notices for updates on new operators or lease changes at the affected marinas.
