Coming This April to Dog Days Bar & Grill...

We've been having a lot of fun at Dog Days Bar & Grill so far this season and as time passes, more fun is being planned! April isn't quite as full event-wise as the summer will be, but that doesn't mean you should put off a trip to our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks until later. In addition to all of the tastes you love, we've got a few fun things planned for April that you are really going to enjoy. 

LIVE MUSIC
Every Saturday night we throw the liveliest dance party in town! The best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks can always be found on the Dog Days' stages. We've got the most exciting DJs lined up to spin all of your favorite hits at the beginning of the month, and during the LOMDA In-Water Boat Show, the bands and DJs will be going all day long! We haven't booked music yet for the final weekend in April, but give us a little time, and we promise it will be someone you absolutely love!

LOMDA IN-WATER BOAT SHOW
April 20-22
It's back! The Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association (LOMDA) is once again bringing their amazing in-water boat show to the docks of Dog Days Bar & Grill. Their promise is "More Dealers - More Boats - More Brands - More Vendors - More Fun!" and they always deliver every bit of that during this event. 

The in-water boat show features everything you will need for the upcoming boating season, and you can get a hands-on, close-up look at all of it. LOMDA represents over 50 local marine dealers, and we'll have vendor booths on land and actual boats and PWCs in the lake. 

Whether you come just to browse or to pick up something brand new to get out on the water with, you're going to be amazed at everything you see. Kids 12 and under can get in for free, and tickets for everyone else are $6. If you'd like more information, you can visit www.OzarkBoatShow.com or text BOATS to 22828 for updates. Hours for the weekend show are:

• Sunday, April 22, 10 am-4 pm    

...and IN MAY...
Our April event schedule is incredibly entertaining, plus during the rest of the week you can come into our family-friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks 7 days a week beginning at 11 am for delicious food, fantastic drinks, and our incredibly relaxing lake view.

Beach Bowls and Signature Entrees Are Back at the Dog

All of your food favorites from the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks are back, along with a few new surprises. Last year Dog Days Bar & Grill introduced our Beach Bowls as a new menu item, and they were so extremely popular (and utterly delicious!) that we simply had to bring them back for 2018. You'll also find plenty of incredible Signature Entrees on the menu to keep your taste buds entertained for many visits to the Dog.  

Tastes Great AND Good For You Too!
Our Beach Bowls take fresh, flavorful ingredients and put them together for combinations that will make your mouth water! The meats are seasoned to perfection and grilled, and for the vegetarians, there's even a meatless option. With the addition of fresh fruits and vegetables, savory herbs, rice, quinoa, and more, you'll have a healthy meal that's not only good for your body, but also looks, smells, and tastes amazing! Here are the Beach Bowls that we've got for you this season. 

BEACH BOWLS
Each of the following incredible dishes is served with garlic toast. 

Thai Chicken Bowl
Tamarind marinated chicken grilled served on top of long grain wild rice and quinoa, topped with fresh mango, peppadew, fresh cilantro, and a sweet Thai chili sauce. 

Maui Fish Bowl
Blackened filets of Mahi-Mahi topped with peas, carrots, fresh mango, and a coconut curry sauce with long grain wild rice and quinoa. 

Chicken Stir Fry Bowl
Sauteed Chinese vegetables and grilled chicken are tossed with a sweet teriyaki sauce on a bed of long grain wild rice and quinoa. 

The Vegan Bowl
Sauteed Kohlrabi, Brussel sprouts, rainbow carrots, kale, spinach, quinoa, fresh herbs, and garlic. 

Korean Beef Bowl
Spicy seared beef tender tips, broccoli, mushrooms, carrots, and cabbage, in gochujang sauce, served with a blend of wild rice and quinoa. 

Cabo Shrimp Bowl
Grilled shrimp, pickled onions, jalapenos, shoepeg corn, fresh avocado, and a blend of wild rice and quinoa. 

The Best Lakeside Entrees
We also have a delicious lineup of Signature Entrees that are packed with both flavor and good-for-you nutrients too. These don't come in a bowl (although the crab legs may come to you in a bucket) but rather a plate packed to the brim with a meal that will satisfy even the biggest hunger. 

SIGNATURE ENTREES
Entrees are served with your choice of a side dish, salad, and garlic toast. 

Cali Avocado Tuna
Yellowfin tuna seared with lemon, basil, and thyme on rice and served with fresh avocado, lime, seaweed salad, and pickled ginger. 

12-oz. Ribeye
A 12-oz. certified Angus beef ribeye cooked to your liking. It can also be served with our house topping of sauteed mushrooms, onions, and bacon in a red wine and garlic reduction. 

Baked Seafood Pasta
Sauteed scallops, shrimp, and crab meat in a garlic cream sauce with Cavatappi paste topped with mozzarella and parmesan cheese, then baked to a golden brown. (This menu item does not include a side dish.) 

Crab Legs
Sweet, succulent snow crab legs are boiled in our southern spices and served with lemon and garlic butter.    

Now that we've got you good and hungry, it's time to take a trip to the best waterfront restaurant and bar at the Lake of the Ozarks for lunch or dinner. Dog Days Bar & Grill opens daily at 11:00 am, and the dishes listed in today's blog are just the beginning. Come in hungry and we'll take great care of you!

Exciting Annual Events Coming to Dog Days in 2018

Dog Days Bar & Grill's 2018 season is well underway, and opening weekend was incredible! We loved seeing everyone that showed up, and we can't wait to see the rest of you, as well as make new friends at our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, very soon.

The amazing food and incredible drinks that you know are waiting for you at Dog Days is more than enough to convince you to join us. The unbelievable Lake of the Ozarks annual events we host every year are pretty awesome too, and knowing when these will take place can help you to plan your visits. There will very likely be more added, but here are the always popular events we have on the calendar for 2018 so far. 

April 20-22
LOMDA In-Water Boat Show
The Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association begins each spring with a fantastic boat show that takes place in and around our docks. With booths on the land and boats & PWCs in the lake, you will get a hands-on experience showcasing all the newest stuff for this season. We'll have live entertainment beginning at 1 pm and going all the way until close. The ever-popular Funhouse will be one of the groups performing that day.    

May 5
Spring Harbor Hop
We love being one of the many stops for the Lake of the Ozarks Harbor Hops, both in the spring and in the fall. You'll want to make the time to visit a few other stops (there are over 40 participating bars & restaurants around the lake) to fill out your poker hand, but spend the majority of the day here with us! Live music will be happening onsite from 1 pm-close, including the always entertaining Pearl. Get out on that glorious water and maybe even win some great prizes while you're at it. 

May 6
Homegrown Festival
The day after the Spring Harbor Hop, you'll want to be back at Dog Days all day long on Saturday for our 3rd Annual Homegrown Festival. We'll have a spectacular lineup of talented musicians from Missouri performing all afternoon. You'll also have the chance to sample some of the best breweries, distilleries, and wineries that our great state has to offer.  

June 8-10 
Canine Cannonball
This event sponsored by DockDogs.com is one that the entire family will enjoy, especially the four-legged members! Spend the weekend watching talented canines competing to find out who can jump the farthest, fastest, and highest into the lakeside pool we'll have set up for the competition. You get a day full of exciting family fun, and our local Dogwood Animal Shelter will be on hand to raise a little money and awareness. Don't have a four-legged family member yet? Dogwood can help you find one!  

June 22
Support Our Troops Poker Run
This particular annual poker run is a fun day out on the water for you plus a wonderful fundraiser for H.E.R.O.E.S. Care. This is an organization that is dedicated to working with others to provide support to military families in the communities where they live. It will be an exciting day on the Lake of the Ozarks and a chance to help out some well-deserving people at the same time.   

June 29
Can-Am BBQ Competition
The Can-Am Police-Fire Games will take place at the Lake of the Ozarks this year, June 25-July 1. On Friday, June 29 Dog Days Bar & Grill will be hosting a BBQ competition connected to this grand event. Competitors from firehouses and police stations from across the country will face off in various categories to see who is the best pit-master! Afterward, we will also be hosting the "Guns and Hoses" lounge party sponsored by Jim Beam on our brand new rooftop patio for the competitors and officials of the games.  

July 21
AquaPalooza
The largest 1-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks! This lakeside concert that brings thousands of people to it each year can be seen and heard from the land, but it's even better if you park your boat in our cove and enjoy it from the water! We'll have 4 amazing live bands performing throughout the afternoon, and if you don't feel like chilling out in the lake, you can hang out in the pool instead and simply listen. We're still finalizing the lineup for the big show, but after the concert on the water, we'll have Taz & Dr. Cheese from 6-10 pm followed by Weaver from 10 pm-close. 

Beyond those incredible events, there will also be our Shootout Pre-Race Party in August, the Lake of the Ozarks Bikefest in September, and of course the Fall Harbor Hop in October, plus many, many more exciting reasons to join us at the best waterfront bar and restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. Start marking your calendars right now so that you don't miss a minute of the fun at Dog Days Bar & Grill. 

Don't forget, if you are coming from out of town and need a place to stay, you can book one of Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina's two rental houses ahead of time! Lots of comfortable room right next door to our sister restaurant, and only a short boat ride or car trip to get to us and all the fun we have planned for you this year!

The "Cabin Fever" Limited Time Specialty Menu at Dog Days Bar & Grill

Anyone else out there looking for a cure for their winter cabin fever? We know exactly what you need... a trip to Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach! The long wait is finally over because the best waterfront bar and restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is opening for our 2018 season on Friday, March 9 at 11:00 am. 

We are every bit as anxious as you are to get back to enjoying the best food, drinks, and live music that is ever-present at the Dog each season. We're bringing back all of your favorites, along with a few new ones for you to fall in love with. 

To kick things off, we are featuring a limited-time, specialty, cabin fever curing menu that has been influenced slightly by the upcoming St. Patrick's Day holiday. That one falls on a Saturday this year, and you can expect the celebration to be going on all day long at Dog Days Bar & Grill! These food items should help to get you into the Irish spirit. 

CABIN FEVER FOOD MENU

Irish Nachos

Kettle chips fried golden brown and topped with melted sharp cheddar, corned beef, crisp bacon, diced red pepper, tomato, and green onions drizzled with herb cream.

Grilled Salmon Spinach Salad

Grilled salmon with basil butter served on top of fresh baby spinach, heirloom tomato relish, candied pecans, cucumber, red onion, hardboiled egg, and bacon, with a warm mustard dressing and garlic toast.

A half-pound burger grilled and topped with corned beef, melted sharp cheddar spread, stout onions, and spicy brown mustard on a pretzel bun.

Smoked ham, Swiss cheese, pickles, Russian dressing, and coleslaw served on grilled rye bread.

Irish Parfait

Layers of custard, berries, candied pecans, shaved mint, and whipped cream. 

As always, our limited-time specialty menus don't just focus on food. There are always a few incredible cocktails to go along with the dishes, plus a Bomb of the month and a Beer of the month. Check these out!

CABIN FEVER DRINK MENU

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

Kiss me I’m Irish
