Make This 4th of July Last All Week Long!

Since the holiday falls on a Tuesday this year, we've decided to celebrate the 4th of July at the Lake of the Ozarks the weekend before, the weekend after, and all the time in between! After all... why not? It's always a great time at Dog Days Bar & Grill, and this patriotic holiday gives us yet another reason to get together and enjoy some quality time together. 

Exciting Musical Lineup
Dog Days' stages are home to the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks, and we've got a brand new stage outside for them to entertain you from. Easily visible from anywhere on the outside deck, including the brand new pool, you can enjoy the show no matter where you're seated. We'll also have the indoor stage rockin', so the music never stops!

Log Jam at the Lake
The infamous Roots, Blues, & BBQ Festival that happens every fall in Columbia, along with Logboat Brewing Company, 102.3 BXR, and Dog Days Bar & Grill, are bringing a great big party to the Lake of the Ozarks! It will be a day filled with great live music, ice cold beer, sunshine, and great giveaways! Mark your calendars now! 

Delicious Food & Drinks
All of your seasonal favorites are still on our food and drink menus, plus this year we've added some new additions that everyone has been loving so far! We are using lots of healthy ingredients in combinations that will have your mouth watering. Some of these include mangoes, heirloom tomatoes, rainbow organic carrots, black-eyed peas, rice pilaf, kale, spinach, quinoa, and more. 

Our Beach Bowls have been a big hit, like the Maui Fish Bowl filled with Blackened filet of Mahi-Mahi topped with peas, carrots, fresh mango, and a coconut curry sauce. There's also the Thai Chicken Bowl featuring sauteed Chinese vegetables and grilled chicken tossed with a sweet teriyaki sauce on a bed of wild rice pilaf. YUM! Throw in one of our popular cocktails, like a Rum Rummer, Pina Colada, or combine the two for a refreshing Pain in the A**! 

The Brand New Pool
Last, but certainly not least, you can now chill out in our brand new pool while you wait for your food, sip cocktails, and enjoy the awesome live music. Our pool is divided into two sections to offer a family-friendly side and a swim-up bar side complete with in-water tables. There is so much going on at Dog Days Bar & Grill these days, you can easily spend an entire day (or entire weekend) hanging out here with us! Make sure you invite all of your friends, too! 

So, what are your 4th of July plans this year? We'd love to have you join us at the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. The food will be hot, the pool will be cool, and the drinks will be ice cold! The live entertainment will keep you dancing, and don't forget, AquaPalooza is only a couple of weeks away on Saturday, July 15! There's always something fun and exciting going on at the Dog, and we want you to be a part of it!

Have You Seen Our Brand New Pool Yet?

The latest trend among waterfront restaurants in the lake area is to have a swimming pool. Well, our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant takes pride in being the most fun place to hang out all summer long, so of course we had to put in a pool of our own! Your reward for patiently putting up with the construction going on at Dog Days Bar & Grill all spring is not one, but two incredible and refreshing pools to lounge in lakeside. 

You may have been shocked when we first opened up this year to find a gigantic hole between the indoor restaurant and the Dog Pound tiki bar. Our big deck, 2nd outdoor bar, and outdoor stage were completely gone! Well, the guys worked hard to replace all of that with something amazing, and that hard work paid off last week.  

We were able to debut our brand new pool at the 2017 White Party on Tuesday, June 13. Ever since then, plenty of people have been out to enjoy this awesome new addition to Dog Days Bar & Grill.

As we mentioned above, there are actually 2 pools. A smaller one with fountains that is perfect for families to enjoy. Right next to that is the larger pool, with access to a swim-up bar and in-water tables to hold your cocktails while you swim. Now you've got every reason to spend the entire day hanging out with us at the Dog! Between lunch and dinner, you've not only got our air-conditioned restaurant to cool off in, but also the pool. 

Since the bandstand was torn down, we've been hosting live music in the Dog Pound. Our outdoor entertainment now has a new home on a brand new stage. It's larger than the old one, and it is centrally located so that it can be seen and heard no matter where you are hanging out at in our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar. 

We're not stopping there! We've got a lot more coming your way to make Dog Days Bar & Grill even bigger and even better. We'll be putting the finishing touches on the new bar by the pool soon, and just past the pool we've still got more construction going on. Get ready for a new kitchen, awesome gift shop, and (are you ready for this?) a rooftop patio! Wait til you get a look at our amazing view from that vantage point!

Get on over here soon and check out the best waterfront pool at the Lake of the Ozarks before the summer crowd fills it up. This weekend we've also got the Support Our Troops Poker Run happening on Friday. If you haven't signed up for that yet, get on it! Dog Days Bar & Grill is the final stop, so you know it's going to end with a great big, awesome. poolside party! 

AquaPalooza is back again on July 15, when we'll have both the new pools and the water in front of our lakeside stage packed full of people ready to have a rockin' good time. You can always count on the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks to keep things exciting! Keep an eye on us for tons of fun, all summer long.

Register For This Weekend's 2017 Canine Cannonball - June 16-18

The annual Canine Cannonball at Dog Days Bar & Grill is happening this weekend, June 16-18, and it's not too late to get your four-legged best friend signed up! If your dogs love the water, you can get them pre-registered online or bring them to our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks this Friday and register on-site for the competition.

The Canine Cannonball is open to all dogs and their handlers. There are 3 different categories in which to compete. You are welcome to sign up for one, two, or all three. Here's a little more information about each category. 

Big Air®
This competition is a long jump for dogs. They may begin at any point on the 40' dock. When ready, they run and jump as far as they can after a toy thrown into the water by their handler. The distance between the end of the dock to the point where the jumper's tail set breaks the water's surface is logged as the official distance.  

Speed Retrieve™
In this event, there is a bumper toy suspended 2" above the water at the far end of the pool with a starting indicator light above it. The dog begins at the 20' starting mark on the dock, and once the indicator light turns green, the handler releases the dog. At this point, the time clock begins, and it stops as soon as the dog pulls the toy from the bracket.  

Extreme Vertical™
This one is for the dogs that can jump high into the air. Once again, they begin at the 20' mark on the dock, and this time a bumper toy is extended 8' from the end of the dock over the water. It begins with the toy at a height of 4'6", and that height is increased by 2" increments as the competition progresses. 

In 2014, Tony Handler and his dog Griz claimed an Outdoor Extreme Vertical World Record right here at Dog Days Bar & Grill. The jump was an amazing 8'9"! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see another world record set again this year.   Think your dog is up to the challenge? 

Raising Funds for the Dogwood Animal Shelter
Our local no-kill shelter, the Dogwood Animal Shelter, will be onsite this weekend with four-legged friends that are looking for a new, loving home. After seeing all of these amazing, athletic dogs working so well with their handlers in the Canine Cannonball, you're going to want to take one home with you, and the shelter would be thrilled to help you out with that! 

We will also have some cool Canine Cannonball t-shirts on hand for purchase to commemorate this incredible event. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go to the Dogwood Animal Shelter. You can get an awesome souvenir and help out this wonderful place at the same time. They make an excellent Father's Day gift!  

Get Signed Up
Visit DockDogs.com to find out more about this exciting event and get your dog registered. Don't forget, you can also register onsite at Dog Days Bar & Grill. It's going to be another amazing weekend to hang out with us at the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. You don't have to participate to join in on the fun. The event is free and open to the public, and we'll have the most delicious food & drinks at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to enjoy while you're here, plus some of the best live music happening all weekend. long.

Our Awesome Appetizers Get A Meal Started Right!

The first page of the Dog Days Bar & Grill menu features an array of the best appetizers at the Lake of the Ozarks. When you think "appetizer," small portions may come to mind, just enough to whet your appetite before the main meal. Well, that's not necessarily true in our case! Our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant serves up great big helpings of our appetizers, in some cases large enough to eat as your meal! Check out what we have on the menu for you this season. 

Crab Legs
Sweet, succulent snow crab legs boiled in our southern spices are served with lemon and garlic butter. Sold by the pound (2 clusters.)

Avocado Relleno
We take fresh avocado, cut it in half, hand-bread it, and fry until golden brown. Then we stuff it with sweet and spicy sauteed shrimp, Texas caviar, and a roasted tomato and jalapeno cream. Try it beach style and keep it fresh instead of fried. 

Crispy Lobster Bites
Deep fried and served with horsey peppadew aioli and fresh lemon.

Hickory Smoked Wings
Smoked then fried crispy and served with celery and ranch or blue cheese dressing. You get to choose a sauce from these 7 amazing flavors: Original, Extra Hot, Bourbon BBQ, Teriyaki, Honey Habanero, Spicy Garlic, or our Chili & Jalapeno Dry Rub.

Southern Fried Chicken Tenders
Hand-breaded chicken tenderloins, fried golden brown and served with buttermilk ranch or BBQ. You can try them tossed in your favorite wing sauce too!

Ahi Tuna Platter
Seared yellow fin tuna, chilled and sliced thin, served with jicama slaw, sesame ginger sauce, wasabi cream, and pickled onions. 

Crab Rangoon
Crispy fired wontons filled with crabmeat, cream cheese, and spices. Served with mango chutney dipping sauce. 

DOG DAYS NACHOS
One type of nacho for our appetizer menu simply wasn't enough for our creative chefs. Once they started creating, they couldn't stop! All of our nachos start with corn tortillas, chile con queso, salsa, and sour cream with your favorite style of toppings, featured below:

BBQ Pork
Slow-smoked pulled pork, Bourbon BBQ, Texas caviar, and spicy pickles.

Jerk Chicken
Island-smoked chicken breast, jerk sauce, diced mango, black-eyed peas, pico, and roasted shoepeg corn.

Spicy Beef or Chicken
Seasoned ground beef, pico, jalapenos, cheddar jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and roasted tomato jalapeno cream sauce. 

Seafood
Crab, shrimp, scallops, Cajun sauce, diced tomato, peppadews, and jalapenos.

Thai Tuna Nachos
Seared Ahi yellow fin tuna served chilled and tossed in our Thai chili marinade and sweetened soy sauce. We put this on top of fried wontons, fresh mango, wakame, pickled ginger, fresh lime, wasabi cream, and roasted red pepper puree. 

Whether you decide to order on of our delicious appetizers as a midday snack to enjoy along with a cold beverage lakeside, you order it for your meal, or even better, order a few and share them with a group of friends, we know that you're going to love all of the choices listed above. Our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks opens at 11 am, 7 days a week, and we serve food late into the evening.
