Alice’s and Big Fish Lounge are part of the Live the Lake NJ family of businesses. Together our mission is to “provide a spectrum of day-trip excursions for all lake enthusiasts to discover the natural beauty, historic charm and vibrant culture of Lake Hopatcong. Our professional dedication to hospitality is matched by our commitment to aesthetically pleasing venues and community involvement – all of which create unparalleled experiences in the Highlands of New Jersey!”

Timing Your Experience

Providing the best service and meal is at the heart of what we do. We want you to enjoy every part of your lakeview dining experience and the company you’re with, which is why our dishes are made fresh to order. A usual meal at Alice’s takes less than 1 ½ hours. To accommodate our waiting customers, we may ask those staying longer than that time to release the table 15 minutes after they have been presented with their check. Big Fish Lounge is a wonderful after dinner spot to enjoy a drink and the sunset over the lake!
