The Little River Grill on Lake Allatoona in Canton, GA has officially been transformed into The Blue Cat Lounge, the main filming location for the new Netflix series, Ozark.
The property, which was also known as Mambo on the Lake, was purchased by Netflix back in June specifally for the new series that is being directed by, produced by, and will star Jason Bateman.
Ozark is a departure for Bateman, who is best known for his comedic roles. The series takes place in “the dark and dangerous world of drug-money laundering.” It’s name is derived from location where it is set, The Lake of the Ozarks in Missouri.
Bateman was among the producers who scouted the restaurant, located at 6979 Bells Ferry Rd Canton, GA, and helped to choose the location.
Filming began here yesterday and is expected to continue on and off through the end of the year.

This looks great…we shall see what happens; but for the short term it has to improve local business. Thank you, Netflix
