5 Ways To Relax After a Long Week of Studying

It's that time of year again when some of our favorite customers and team members hit the books and are back in school! Hey, the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is still here for them.  When the classes are done for the week, they can all head back to the Lake and hit Dog Days Bar & Grill for some R&R. Here are 5 perfect ways to relax after a long week at school!

It's going to be a long school year, so no need to overdo it in the first few weeks.  It's the perfect time to learn how to balance work and play while the work load is at its lightest.  We want all of our studious customers to do their absolute best in school, and knowing how to relax occasionally will help you to keep from burning out.  Try a few of these ideas to keep yourself fresh and alert to learn.

Eat Well 

A college diet tends to consist of Ramen noodles and Mac & Cheese.  You need to make sure that you get a hearty meal in your belly now and then.  We've got all of your favorite dishes, and you don't even have to cook or clean-up!  We've got your meat group covered with Wobbly Boot Wings & our Chef's Signature Burgers, veggies with Stuffed Mushrooms and Big Salads, dairy with Nachos & Quesadillas, and grains of course with the sandwich breads.  As far as fruit goes, our bar has a large selection of fruity frozen drinks, and then there are the limes in the margaritas.  (We have non-alcoholic versions if you haven't quite reached that magical 21 mark yet.)  

Relax

Take some time to just sit and chill out.  Kick back on our outdoor deck and let the sound and sight of the Lake of the Ozarks relax your mind.  When you are at Dog Days Bar & Grill, we'll take care of everything while you sit and enjoy.

Get some exercise

Keeping your body in shape goes a long way in keeping your mind in tip-top shape.  Dog Days Bar & Grill's stage will be rocking every weekend until we close up for the season. (It's a long way off... don't think about it yet!) Dancing is one of the most enjoyable ways to exercise.    

Enjoy the outdoors 

The weather just keeps getting nicer and nicer.  Before it gets too cold, get out and get as much fresh air as possible.  This is also good for the brain.  We have a rental shack here at our docks where you can rent boats on the Lake of the Ozarks, and also rent jet skis.   

Sleep

Sleep is a very important key to keeping your mind fresh and on the right track, ready to soak up all kinds of knowledge.  Those all-night study sessions can really take a toll on both your body and mind.  We are open and having fun until 1:30 am on the weekends, but we don't start back in again until 11 am the next day, giving you enough time to get in a full 8 hours of rest before coming back to do it all over again!


Well look at that.  Your favorite waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks has everything you need (except for the place to sleep) to relax and refresh before you head back to classes on Monday morning.  We'd love to see you back often in the next couple of month's.  Best of luck with school this year, and we'll be looking forward to celebrating classes letting out again next Spring.

BomBay Boat Rental Co. at Dog Days' Dock

There is still plenty of Summer left even though the schools have started all over Mid-Missouri.  This season has a lot of great days left in it.  With fewer people in town, especially during the week, it's the perfect time to get out on the water and enjoy a quieter, more relaxed lake experience.  Your favorite waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks gives you the chance to rent a boat or jet ski right from our docks. BomBay Boat Rental Company has a rental shack located just below Dog Days Bar and Grill, loaded with excellent watercrafts for you to take out and have an adventure on.  

Ski Boats

For a fast, fun ride out on the water, you can rent one of BomBay Boat Rental Company's Cobalt 220 ski boats.  These boats can easily carry a dozen of your closest friends to all of the coolest spots on the Lake.  (Shorty Pants Lounge is a fun boat ride away from us!)   

Tritoons

The Mirage 8524 Cruise LZ offers comfort, relaxation, and lots of open space.  It has four-sided, wrap around seating and offers lots of room for you and your group to spread out.  

Jet Skis

One of the best jet skis on the water is available to rent off of our dock, the Sea-Doo GTI 130.  Easy for beginners to pick up quickly, and powerful and fun for experienced riders.  

Gas Dock  

If you already own your own boat or jet ski, BomBay Boat Rental Co. can fill it up from our dock.  Stop by for some fuel for your boat, then park and head on up to our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant for a little "fuel" for yourself!  

Don't retire your 2015 Summer yet.  Head on over to the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, have a bit of lunch, rent a watercraft from BomBay Boat Rental Co. off of our dock, and then join us for a drink and dinner when you return it at the end of the day.  You can reserve your boat rental on their website, and they will have it waiting for you when you get here. Have a great, relaxing day out on the water, and we'll be waiting right here when you get back to hear all about it.

For a LIMITED TIME: The Single Barrel Jack Daniel's Menu

It's time for us to introduce another limited time, mouth-watering special menu  from the makers of the best food at the Lake of the Ozarks.  August has brought along with it the Single Barrel Jack Daniel's Special Menu to Dog Days Bar and Grill.  

Once again, we have have put our creative culinary and mixology skills to work, and created some incredible dishes and delicious drinks to tempt you with.  Here is a little story about how we came up with our ideas this time around. 

The Story

Last April a group of us piled into the catering van and embarked on an adventure to Tennessee. We ventured out as a group in Nashville to see what “Music City” had to offer. After an adventurous evening on Broadway consisting of Honky Tonks, live music galore and an undisclosed number of Jack Daniels cocktails we awoke bright eyed and bushytailed the next morning and piled back into the van Destination: Lynchburg Tennessee and the Jack Daniels Distillery. 

At the Distillery we sampled a number of the 94 proof whiskeys drawn from individual barrels, offering us the opportunity to taste the subtle differences in nose, color and flavor from barrel. You are welcome to take home a souvenir bottle from our gift shop, upgrade your Jack Daniels cocktail to “Single Barrel” or try one of our creations from the bar.

The 2nd Annual Warriors Against Melanoma Poker Run is This Saturday

Last year's poker run was such a blast, they're doing it all over again!  The Second Annual Warriors Against Melanoma Poker Run is happening this Saturday, and Dog Days Bar & Grill is proud to not only be a stop, but also to be hosting the awards party afterwards.  Your favorite waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is the spot to gather, reminisce about the day's events, collect your prizes, and talk about what you learned along the way.


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.  

Over the past year, this group has donated over $30,000 to both melanoma research and directly to families needing assistance with expenses as a result of this disease. WAM was founded a little over a year ago by a stage 3 melanoma survivor and is entirely run by volunteers.  

The Details

• Saturday, August 8, 2015
• 11:00 am - 5:00 pm
• 5:30 pm - Prize Party at Dog Days Bar & Grill
• $20 donation per hand

The Card Stops

Melanoma and skin cancer facts will be given out verbally at each Poker Run stop when a card is dealt.  Bonus cards will be available for purchase here at the prize party, but if you can correctly recite back 3 of the facts that you learned, you will get a bonus card for free.  

Spend your weekend having fun on the water while you also learn a little about melanoma and how to keep yourself safe from this deadly skin cancer.  We'll have cards waiting for you, and we'll all celebrate together afterwards right here at the best waterfront bar and restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks.  The Boomchux will be entertaining the crowd while we hand out cards, Suigglefish is playing the after-party, and Machine Gun Symphony will close out the night. Another amazing Saturday at Dog Days Bar & Grill.
