I have been to LOTO for the past 8 years and have never seen a boat parked at Topsiders. It always looks closed. We rented waverunners there once and the dock guy said thay charge $100 to dock on the busy nights. He could have been lying.

As far as coconuts the place is awesome and usually decent water getting there. Except over Labor Day weekend. It was a big washing machine.

Topsider is mainly a Friday night deal. $100 well spent!

+1 $100 is equal to about 13 drinks not including tips. No brainer, plus half the time the party on the dock is more fun than the party up the steps.

So the 100 bucks includes drinks?

No, but if you come with about 6 people on your boat and your own booze, you can drink it on the dock instead of paying for drinks at 7-10 bucks each.
A lot of the cruisers have 20 people on them, so its well worth it.

There is also a $10 cover per person on Fridays.

Started going to LOTO in 1998. I've had some crazy nights at the lake over the years. Many of them were at Topsiders.

Been going every year since 1999 (with the exception of my first visit in '77 at age 13) and that is probably one of the few places I've never been to. And I have no good reason as to why that is. Especially since I used to stay at Parkview Bay and Land's End.

4th of July weekend we tried to go there and dock duece told us $500!

Everynight is a different hot spot depending on what your wanting to do. just hang out,dance,party like rock stars,etc..
Top Siders is a good time for sure, even better if you know people who know people and you get free parking.
Definitely plan to party on the dock.
