Incredible Live Music

You've come to expect the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks from us over the years, and this Labor Day weekend is no exception. With two stages, both indoors and outside, we've got non-stop entertainment coming to you from the most talented musicians in the area.

Delicious Food & Drinks

Our kitchen turns out the most delicious food on a daily basis, and you can enjoy it at one of our many outdoor tables overlooking the gorgeous lake, or in our indoor, air-conditioned, smoke-free dining room. 

No matter what your level of hunger, we've got you covered. If you only need a quick bite to keep your energy going, our appetizers are just the thing. There is a wide variety of salads and wraps for a light lunch, we've got mouth-watering Chef's Signature Burgers, and if you want a hearty dinner, you'll find savory items like Crab Legs and our juicy Ribeye Steak on the entree menu. 

Our Kids' Menu is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters, and our Late Night Menu will keep you fed (and fed well) even if you come in after most kitchens have shut down for the night. On weekends and holidays, we keep our kitchen open until midnight for you! Add one (or a few) of our tasty cocktails to that and you'll be all set up for a fantastic experience. 



Always A Great Time!

This Labor Day Weekend you can expect the same unbelievable day and night that you have every time you visit our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, but with the additional amped-up excitement of the holiday added to it. It's a great place for families all day long and an equally incredible place for party people to dance the entire night away. 




We're gonna party like it's the end of an amazing summer, even though we plan to keep that party going for quite a while after Labor Day Weekend is over. The Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest is only a few weeks away, and fall at the lake is an incredible season to experience. Dog Days Bar & Grill invites you to spend this holiday weekend, as well as the rest of an exciting season, right here with us.

Frozen Concoctions (& Toppers!)

A summer day (or night) at the Lake of the Ozarks simply isn't complete without a delicious frozen cocktail. If you're really up for an amazing drink, you will want to add a topper too! 

In case you're unfamiliar with the term, a topper is a "test tube" filled with an additional liquor of your choice. Extra kick and bonus flavor! We have numerous options when it comes to our frozen treats, but here are a few of the most popular. 

-Rum Runner
Dog Days Bar & Grill, Lake of the Ozarks, cocktails, drink menuThis Lake classic combines a multitude of tropical flavors with light rum for a frosty, refreshing blend. 

-Pain in the A**
You shouldn't visit the Lake of the Ozarks without giving this incredible drink a try. It combines the best of both worlds - our popular Rum Runner and the classic Pina Colada - for a flavor you won't be able to get enough of. 

-Banana Cabana
This one will make you chase your tail! Seriously! A frozen treat of banana, pina colada, Kamora coffee liqueur, and Cruzan Black Strap Rum.

Here are a couple of the specialty drinks to go along with those.

-Frozen Hurricane

-Mellow Berries
Raspberry rum and Mellow Yellow topped with raspberry liquor. Sounds harmless but be careful... this one will sneak up on you!

The talented bartenders at our sister restaurant, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, will be able to mix up many of these drinks over the winter for you, but there's just something special about sipping a tasty cocktail by the water's edge. There are only a few big weekends left during the season, but there are lots of quieter weekends left to visit the best waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks before we close our doors for the season. (Of course, if you want to get a little rowdy, we certainly won't complain!)

You can see a great big list of our cocktails on the Dog Days Bar & Grill website. We are currently preparing for a great big, exciting Labor Day Weekend, plus the Lake of the Ozarks BikeFest is right around the corner too. People may try to tell you that summer is ending, but here at the Dog, we're still going strong for many more weeks to come.

Every Friday & Saturday night, Dog Days Bar & Grill features a Late Night Menu specifically for all of you that need a little extra energy to keep the party going late into the night. Take a look at the delicious dishes we're happy to serve you every weekend from 10 pm - midnight.

Exciting Events & Awesome Live Music This August at Dog Days

Whether you are looking for the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks or the most exciting annual events, you can be sure you will always find both at Dog Days Bar & Grill. This August you'll experience something similar to our Canine Cannonball, but with a new twist, plus an awesome poker run, and music that will have you out of your seat and on the dance floor. 



Dueling Dogs: August 5-7

You can get all of the necessary details, including the weekend schedule, from last week's Dueling Dogs blog, but in a nutshell, two dogs and their handlers go head-to-head, racing to see who is the quickest. 

The Canine Cannonball is all about distances jumped, but Dueling Dogs is all about speed. A team consisting of one canine and one handler duel against another team by racing down a platform into a body of water. Once the dog hits the water, they must be the first to retrieve the object at the end of the pool.

If you think your dog has what it takes to claim this year's title, head on over to www.DuelingDogs.net and get registered. 




Warriors Against Melanoma Poker Run: Saturday, August 13

Poker, boating, and the best waterfront bars at the Lake of the Ozarks... what more could you ask for? How about a chance to raise money for a worthy cause? Win-Win! This excellent poker run will take place from 11 am - 6 pm, with an after party starting at 7 pm. 



Warriors Against Melanoma (WAM) is a non-profit organization which is dedicated to educating people about melanoma and raising money to help find effective treatments and eventually a cure for this deadly skin cancer. One person dies every hour, every day in the United States of melanoma. WAM itself was founded by a stage 3 melanoma survivor and is entirely run by volunteers.

There is a $20 donation per hand for each player. At every stop, players will draw one card and receive one fact about skin cancer. If they can produce these facts at the after-party, they will earn a free bonus card for their poker hand. Register at any of the stops, which include:

  • Dog Days Bar & Grill
  • Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina
  • Bulldog's Beach House Bar & Grill
  • Larry's on the Lake
  • Nautifish Rum Bar
