Check Out McCowan's March Pub Menu & Our Cabin Fever Drinks

We love March. It means St. Patrick's Day is coming, Spring will soon be here, and Dog Days Bar & Grill is opening for another season! We are currently working at the Dog to get your favorite waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks ready for opening day. 

All of the classic menu items you already love will be back, but Chef Kevin McCowan has created a very special March Pub Menu to go along with them. Our creative bartenders are also getting in on the act and have come up with a few refreshing beverages to help you get over that cabin fever feeling winter may have given you.   

McCOWAN'S MARCH PUB MENU
In honor of the many delicious tastes associated with St. Patrick's Day, here are a few Irish delights to help you celebrate the holiday.  

Sourdough Corned Beef Melt
Smoked corned beef, swiss, garlic pickles, creamy horseradish, and stout onions on grilled sourdough bread with fries. 

Irish Corned Beef Bombs
Four crispy wontons filled with garlic, kraut, corned beef, and swiss, served with a spicy mustard sauce. 

Beer Cheese and Pretzels
Pretzel knots with smoked sea salt served with a creamy, stout beer cheese sauce. 

Fish and Chips
Hand-breaded Mahi fried and served with fries, creamy coleslaw, lemon, and tartar sauce.   

CABIN FEVER DRINKS
It's been a long, cold winter (especially lately) so here are some delicious drinks that you'll want to come out of hibernation to enjoy! 

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

Kiss Me I'm Irish
Pucker Up with Cruzan Citrus Rum, DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker, and Lemonade.

BEER OF THE MONTH

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'.

SPICY Spring SAMBAL Menu at Dog Days!

It's time to spice things up a little bit!

When you're looking for an extra exciting night, come on out to your favorite waterfront restaurant and bar at the Lake of the Ozarks to enjoy our spicy, exotic Sambal Menu - available only for a limited time at Dog Days Bar & Grill!

What is "Sambal"?

In its simplest form, Sambal is a spicy Southeast Asian condiment made from chile peppers and salt. A more elaborate Sambal may contain onion, lime juice, lemongrass, sugar, garlic, oil, and/or vinegar. You can find Sambal in a jar or bottle at an Asian food market - or in the international aisle at the grocery store.

There are many different varieties of Sambal. Sambal Oelek is the kind you're most likely to find in the United States. We have been experimenting with this sauce this spring, and we're now very excited to offer these all-new food and beverage options at the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks for those who like it a little spicy.
