9 LivesTavern

An old-English tavern in historic downtown Ozark, built for good drinks, good company, and staying a while.

Come sit with us

We're Amos and Shelby Hale. Opening a bar was not part of the plan when we got married. Then we walked into a storefront on Church Street and found stained glass, exposed brick, and woodwork that had been there longer than anyone we know.

We left all of it alone and built an old-English tavern around it. Bring a board game, pull a book off the shelf, and settle in with a drink poured from craft spirits out of Missouri. Nobody here is going to rush you out.
