7 Reasons to Enjoy Spring at Dog Days

Spring finally makes its official debut this Sunday, March 20. Dog Days Bar & Grill opened last Friday, and boy, did we miss seeing you guys! The memory of our amazing waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is probably enough to bring you back, but even so, we've come up with 7 reasons why you should definitely make your way over to Dog Days this spring. 




Lakeside Dining

At Dog Days Bar & Grill, the view while you are dining is as amazing as the delicious food we serve every day. There is lots of seating available by the water's edge, and you're even welcome to bring your four-legged friends along to enjoy the day.

You don't even have to worry if spring showers threaten a nice day. We've got more seating inside our smoke-free dining room, as well as a great big covered deck next to the tiki bar.  


MDA In-Water Boat Show

We host some of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks. Our first big one for the season will be the MDA In-Water Boat Show April 15-17. This is your chance to see the newest models available from local boat dealers of: sports boats, pontoon boats, PWC's, and much more. There are always lots of vendors set up to clue you in on all of the new and exciting developments in the boating world too. 


Spring Harbor Hop

The 19th annual Spring Harbor Hop will take place on Saturday, May 7, 2016. If you haven't already put your boat in the water this year, it's a great time to start your boating season. Travel between dozens of lake area bars & restaurants by water collecting cards for your poker hand, and maybe even go home with some incredible prizes. 

Canine Cannonball

This popular annual event is taking place June 16-19, right before the first official day of summer, so it just made the cut for exciting spring reasons to visit us. This nationwide event is a favorite at Dog Days. Pets bring their owners along while they compete to see who can jump the highest and the farthest into a great big pool of water. In 2014, Tony Lampert's dog Griz set a World Record for the Outdoor Extreme Vertical Jump at 8'9" at Dog Days Bar & Grill.





Boat & Jet Ski Rentals and Gas

Our docks are home to BomBay Boat Rental Company's full service Osage Beach location. They offer "Better Product, Better Prices, and Better People" in the form of boat and waverunner rentals, and even a gas dock. Enjoy lunch with us, take a watercraft out for the afternoon, then come back for dinner while you listen to some amazing live music.


The Tastes You Missed All Winter

If you spend a lot of time at the Lake of the Ozarks, you've probably been counting down the days until you could get your hands on that popular frozen concoction - the Pain in the A**. In addition to all of your favorite tastes from behind the bar, we know you've been missing our tasty treats from the kitchen too.  

Our most popular dishes are still here, like our Seafood Nachos, Chef's Signature Burgers, and of course, those amazing crab legs. Along with those, you will be thrilled to see a few new additions. Check out our Dog Days menu before you head our way. It going to take a little while to decide!



Specialty Menus

Once again, we'll be featuring a special menu each month to spice up our already incredible menu even more. Right now you can enjoy the dishes and drinks on our "Luck of the Irish" menu. Don't wait too long, because in April it will be gone. Don't worry though, because we'll be replacing it with some incredible "Sunny Spring Specials."  


We've Missed You!

Spring is nearly here, and summer is right around the corner. You know you missed your favorite waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks over the long winter. Get on over here and cure those cravings with a day at Dog Days Bar & Grill. If you missed us half as much as we missed you, then we know you'll be making plans to come see us soon.
