The "Cabin Fever" Limited Time Specialty Menu at Dog Days Bar & Grill

Anyone else out there looking for a cure for their winter cabin fever? We know exactly what you need... a trip to Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach! The long wait is finally over because the best waterfront bar and restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is opening for our 2018 season on Friday, March 9 at 11:00 am.

We are every bit as anxious as you are to get back to enjoying the best food, drinks, and live music that is ever-present at the Dog each season. We're bringing back all of your favorites, along with a few new ones for you to fall in love with.

To kick things off, we are featuring a limited-time, specialty, cabin fever curing menu that has been influenced slightly by the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday. That one falls on a Saturday this year, and you can expect the celebration to be going on all day long at Dog Days Bar & Grill! These food items should help to get you into the Irish spirit.

CABIN FEVER FOOD MENU

Irish Nachos

Kettle chips fried golden brown and topped with melted sharp cheddar, corned beef, crisp bacon, diced red pepper, tomato, and green onions drizzled with herb cream.

Grilled Salmon Spinach Salad

Grilled salmon with basil butter served on top of fresh baby spinach, heirloom tomato relish, candied pecans, cucumber, red onion, hardboiled egg, and bacon, with a warm mustard dressing and garlic toast.

Pub Burger

A half-pound burger grilled and topped with corned beef, melted sharp cheddar spread, stout onions, and spicy brown mustard on a pretzel bun.

Cuban Reuben

Smoked ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, Russian dressing, and coleslaw served on grilled rye bread.

Irish Parfait

Layers of custard, berries, candied pecans, shaved mint, and whipped cream.

As always, our limited-time specialty menus don't just focus on food. There are always a few incredible cocktails to go along with the dishes, plus a Bomb of the month and a Beer of the month. Check these out!

CABIN FEVER DRINK MENU

Mango vodka mixed with Sprite Zero and a splash of cranberry and OJ

BOMB OF THE MONTH - VanRaz Bomb
Pinnacle vanilla vodka, Cruzan raspberry ru, and Sugar Free Redbull

BEER OF THE MONTH - Logboat Bobber Lager
5% ABV

Bobber is an unfiltered lager brewed with inspiration from the pale German lagers. Noble hops provide little bitterness and lend to the crisp finish with a hint of floral notes. Best of luck with the bass fishin'. Pairs well with crappie filets, tots, and deer sausage.

Dog Days Bar & Grill's 2018 Opening Day is Friday, March 9th!

It seems like forever since last fall when your favorite waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks closed down for 2017, but the long wait for fantastic frozen drinks, incredible food, and amazing live music at Dog Days Bar & Grill is almost over! Our opening day for the 2018 season will begin at 11:00 am, Friday, March 9, and we expect to see all of you there at some point over that weekend! Here's what you can expect when you join us.

NEW Kitchen
We are extremely excited about our brand new kitchen! Last year we had a few growing pains trying to keep up with the many additional orders we had due to all of the new seating. Our original, smaller kitchen wasn't set up to handle all of those extra people, but this year, we're ready for all of them and more! Chef Kevin is especially excited about creating all kinds of incredible dishes in what he's calling his new "Food Lab."

NEW Rooftop Patio Bar
Everyone here at the Dog is also anxiously awaiting the opening of our brand new rooftop patio bar. We expect it to be the most popular spot to hang out this summer. The view from up there is out of this world! You will enjoy an amazing vantage point for the main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks, the Grand Glaize Bridge, and even our very own pool area.

Awesome Events and Live Music
As always, we've got some of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks in the works for you. A few things are still in the planning stages, but we do have dates set for some of the big ones.

LOMDA In-Water Boat Show - April 20-22
Spring Harbor Hop - May 5
Homegrown Festival - May 6
AquaPalooza - July 21

Our stages, both inside and outside, will be welcoming back all of your favorite live music acts, plus we've even found some brand new bands to entertain you. The music and event schedule on our website will be updated as we get more dates filled in, but here is a sneak peek at some of the awesome acts we've got for you in March.

3/10: Pearl
3/17: DJ INNA
3/24: DJ Kyle
3/31: Dr. Cheese

Those Incredible Pools
We won't have our pools open right away, but as soon as we're sure that the weather isn't going to take another drastic change and the warmer temperatures are here to stay, we'll let you know when to get those swimsuits out. In case you are unfamiliar with the setup, we have one pool that is family-friendly, and the other has a spectacular swim-up bar and plenty of in-water tables to hold your drinks.

Fantastic Food & Drinks
Last, but certainly not least, we'll be serving up all of your favorite summertime foods and those amazing drinks you love! Expect to see a few new dishes on the menu too.

Just as we have in the last couple of years, we'll be kicking off the season with an Irish-themed Limited-Time Menu in honor of the upcoming St. Patrick's Day. (That holiday happens to fall on a Saturday this year, so we expect it will be even more fun than usual!) We'll be featuring that menu in next week's blog, so be sure to keep an eye out for it!

All of us here at Dog Days Bar & Grill are so glad that we have the majority of the construction behind us and those plans have become a reality! We are especially thankful that this year we have actual restrooms completed for use outside instead of those porta potties from last year. (They were better than nothing, but we're so happy they won't be needed anymore!)

Come on out and see what we've done with the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks for the 2018 season. It all begins again at 11:00 am on Friday, March 9, and we can't wait to see everyone here again!
