Hammer and Nail’s client earned a mention as one of the top four onsite marina restaurants in the country in the “Best Dockside Bar” category.

Granbury, Texas. March 24, 2025 – VIP Marinas Group’s Stumpy’s Lakeside Grill was awarded an “Honorable Mention” in the 2024 Marinalife Reader’s Choice Awards for “Best Dockside Bar” by Marinalife. Marinalife announced the winners digitally in January and in their 2025 first-quarter print magazine.

The Hammer and Nail Marketing team made a concerted effort in the summer of 2024 to encourage voting in Marinalife’s 2024 Reader’s Choice Awards, which coincided with Marinalife’s 25th anniversary. Stumpy’s Lakeside Grill is the onsite destination restaurant and shopping experience that complements Lake Granbury Marina, the Granbury, Texas home for boaters from all over the Dallas, and Fort Worth region.

The Reader’s Choice Awards encompassed a wide spectrum of marina-based categories on a nationwide scale and Stumpy’s was one of four dockside bars recognized in the “Best Dockside Bar” category. Marinalife is a multi-faceted boating resource company, and its umbrella includes Marinalife Magazine, the Snag-A-Slip boat reservation platform, and the Marinalife Manager marina management software.
