Another Great Season For Dog Days Bar & Grill

What does the Dog Days crew do in the winter?  Just because the doors are closed does not mean the Dog is hibernating.  We work hard all winter long to make sure we are up and running when you come back in the Spring!!

There are two things we focus on during the bitter winter months.

The planning has already begun for the 2013 season because we want to make sure every year is even better than the previous one.  The bands, the events, the drinks, the food, the staff - we review everything - and try to find ways to improve the Lake of the Ozarks BEST Entertainment, our Menu, our service and the satisfaction of all our customers.   Feel free to comment on some of your favorite foods, bands or drinks on our Facebook Page - we appreciate your input and want to make sure you keep coming back for more!!

 We also continue to Cater throughout the winter!!

The Annual Disco Party at Dog Days Bar & Grill

This weekend we are having the Annual Dog Days Disco Party and you won't wanna miss it!!  Everyone is always excited to get their groove on and show up for the final party of the season - but the question lingering in everyone's mind... "What am I going to Wear"??  

The Disco Era had some amazing music, but it also had a wide array of amazing fashions for you to choose from!!  Here are a couple of ideas to get your imagination juices flowing!!

Go to your local Thrift Stores - this is by far the best place to start when putting together your retro ensemble.  There are plenty of dated clothes to choose from and more than likely you will find them at a great deal!!   Look for polyester shirts, shiny pants, thick chains, halter tops, mini skirts and bell bottoms are some perfect things to look for.

Have fun with your hair - Show off your own hair in a whole new style or choose a wig!!  Men should consider growing a thin mustache or purchasing a "stick on" mustache for the evening or maybe even finding that perfect Afro wig.  Ladies, Afro wigs are also a great choice along with teased hair, super straight hair or maybe try a Farrah Fawcett style.

Dress in Costume - There are some great classic characters from the 70's disco era to pattern your style after.  Starsky and Hutch, Charlie's Angels, the Partridge Family, the Brady Bunch, or how bout the gang from Scooby Doo?  Think about (or Google) the television shows or movies during the 70's and use their style as a party outfit inspiration.

Have Fun  - This is one of the best Parties at the Lake of the Ozarks and a celebration of a great season coming to an end.  It's your time to let your Saturday night Fever Burn.  Hey, if you love a great party but you don't have the 70's attire, come on out to Dog Days and help us close out a great season with a Far Out Party that will Blow Your Mind!!!

For the Lakes #1 dining and entertainment and home of great free family fun events, it's Dog Days at beautiful Lake of the Ozarks!  Dog Days is now open 7 days a week!!
