Exciting Events Coming To Dog Days Bar & Grill This June

With another successful Memorial Day Weekend in the books, it's time to look forward to some of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks coming to Dog Days Bar & Grill next month, June 2018. Luaus, pool parties, and of course, the ever-popular Canine Cannonball! Check out the awesome events below, then get them marked on your calendar so you can for sure be here. 

Start of Summer Luau
Sunday, June 3
Okay, technically the first day of summer won't officially happen until June 21, but we're going to start celebrating its arrival early! Zambu is helping us throw an outstanding luau complete with everything you need to feel like summer is already here. Join us at the Zambu Bar on the top of our brand new Woof Top Deck for refreshing cocktails, bombs, and shots featuring the delicious Zambu.

Zambu is a vodka-based, handmade liqueur infused with an edible exotic flower from the Amazon that gives you a unique and pleasant tingling sensation when you drink it. To go along with all of those delicious drinks, we'll be having a hog roast with lots of tasty side dishes. You can spend the day mingling with the promo girls by the pool and enjoy the musical talents of AZ-1 on our outdoor stage.     

14th Annual White Party
Tuesday, June 5
Start tanning now and get your best white outfits ready to wear because it's nearly time for the party event of the summer - our 14th Annual White Party at the Dog! This fantastic event got its start at our sister restaurant, Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina, but got so big and popular that they passed the torch on to us. There's a strictly all-white dress code, and we'll be partying out by the pool to the sounds of DJ Vinyl Richy and CEO, and indoors with the talented Taz 1 and Doc C. We'll have Effen Vodka and Red Bull drink specials all night long, and if you're sharing photos on social media, be sure to tag all of your pictures with #dogdayswp18.  

Canine Cannonball
June 8-10
This much anticipated family-fun event is a favorite every year. We set up a big pool down by the lake and dogs, along with their handlers as coaches, compete to see who is the best jumper in 3 different categories - Big Air, Speed Retrieve, and Extreme Vertical. The Dogwood Animal Shelter, a local no-kill shelter, will be here too, just in case you want to adopt a 4-legged family member of your own to take home after the event! If you'd like to sign your dog up to compete, visit www.DockDogs.com for all the details.   

We also have a fundraiser with Tito's Vodka going on right now until the end of Canine Cannonball weekend. Through their "Vodka for Dog People Program," which aims to rescue needy animals, we'll be raising money to benefit the Dogwood Animal Shelter. $10 from every drink on our special cocktail menu will go to the shelter, plus Tito's Vodka will match that $10! As an added thank you, every drink comes with your choice of a leash, chew-toy, or water bowl to take home.    

Budweiser Pool Party
Saturday, June 23
By this time summer will officially be here, so Budweiser is hosting an awesome party at the Dog in the best pool at the Lake of the Ozarks. They'll have their promo team giving out all kinds of goodies and samples of their newest products. You get to chill out by the pool and wait for the always amazing Rosy Hips to take the stage for an entire day and night full of excitement! 

All of that June excitement leads us into July with its own set of the best events at the Lake of the Ozarks, like the 4th of July, another Log Jam, and of course everyone's favorite, AquaPalooza! If you're looking for a place to stay while you're in town, be sure to check out our brand new Lake of the Ozarks vacation house rental right next door to the Dog! 

When you're looking for something awesome to do, you can always find a good time at Dog Days Bar & Grill! Whether it's just a delicious lunch or dinner with the family, a relaxing day by the pool, or a night with friends full of dancing and partying, this is always the place to be!

Memorial Day Weekend at Dog Days Will Be the Best One Ever This Year!

Memorial Day Weekend at the Lake of the Ozarks is quite an exciting time to be in the lake area. There are all kinds of things happening all over town, but by far the best stuff is happening at Dog Days Bar & Grill! Take a look at what we have in store for you when you join us. 

THE ENTIRE HOLIDAY WEEKEND...
You know what to expect from our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant if you've been here before, and if you haven't, well then, you're in for a treat! 7 days a week we serve an amazing menu full of delicious food to enjoy lakeside, poolside, or inside our indoor, smoke-free dining room. A few of our specialties include Crab Legs, Nachos (4 different kinds!) Signature Burgers, Gourmet Tacos, Beach Bowls, and much, much more. 

You can wash down your menu choices with a refreshing drink from one of our 4 bars. There's one inside, a tiki bar in the Dog Pound outside, a swim-up bar next to our incredible pool, and the newest bar on top of our Woof Top Patio, offering the most breathtaking view of the main channel of the Lake of the Ozarks. 

You can enjoy all of that any day of the week during our regular season. Now, here's a list of special events we've got planned especially for the holiday weekend that you don't want to miss. 

FRIDAY, May 25
We'll be open at 11 am for everyone that is able to get their holiday weekend started a little bit early. Swing by, grab a seat by the pool (or in it) and enjoy lunch and a few cocktails before the big crowds start getting into town. Once the sun starts going down and you're really ready to party, DJ Dr. Cheese will be spinning all of the best dance music all night long.  

SATURDAY, May 26
This is by far going to be the biggest day of the weekend at the Dog! As usual, doors open at 11 am. After that, we've got amazing things planned for you all day (and night) long!

We're hosting another holiday weekend Log Jam along with Logboat Brewing Company, NASH-FM, and the team from the Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival out of Columbia. This event is happening from 1-5 pm and will feature amazing blues music and samples of Logboat's best beers. We'll be spinning tunes by artists that will be performing at the 2018 Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival, such as the Avett Brothers, Sturgill Simpson, Nathaniel Ratcliff and the Night Sweats, Los Lobos, Lake Street Dive, and many, many more! There will also be all kinds of cool giveaways happening all afternoon long, plus special drawings for exclusive Log Jam t-shirts and even tickets to this year's RNBNBBQ Festival. You can learn more about them by visiting the RNBNBBQ website.  

Once that's all wrapped up, we've got the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks ready to take the stage and keep you entertained. From 6-10 pm we've got the incredible Baub Eis Band rocking the Dog, followed by the always entertaining Rosy Hips from 10 pm until close.       

SUNDAY, May 27
Memorial Day makes it a 3-day weekend, so on Sunday, we're only partially through all of the excitement! We'll have the pool, kitchens, and bars open and running all day long. In the evening, we have a Dog Days favorite hitting the stage - The Mixtapes! Be sure to rest up poolside during the day so that you can dance the night away to this exciting band's brand of music.  

MONDAY, May 28
Things start winding down a little bit on Memorial Day Monday with people that have traveled to the area needing to get back home. Our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant will still be open and ready to party, so if you live nearby or were able to extend your holiday weekend, we'll be right here waiting to keep the excitement going with you! 

Things can seem to get a little crazy on a holiday weekend in the lake area, so take extra precautions to keep yourself safe, both on the roadways and on the water. Of course, with all of the exciting stuff we've got planned for you at Dog Days Bar & Grill, you could just hang out here with us all weekend and save the traveling for when you need to head home! See you this weekend!

The answer, of course, is the same all season long - Dog Days Bar & Grill! Sure, we're classified as a waterfront bar & restaurant, but we're also so much more! 

Logboat Log Jam
On Saturday, May 26 of Memorial Day Weekend, the Log Jam is back at the Dog! Columbia, MO's very own Roots N Blues N BBQ Festival is sending down a part of their team along with Logboat Brewing Company to bring this awesome holiday party to the lake.

Dining, Drinking, & Swimming...

...or lounging by the pool, or chilling out in the water by the swim-up bar, all depending on how you like to spend your pool time. Our bartenders can mix up your favorite cocktails and hand them to you, and you won't even have to get out of the water. 

You will, however, need to get out of the water to enjoy the items on our fantastic food menu. We finished the rest of the construction on the other side of the Dog Pound, and our newest section includes a second kitchen, so we'll have no trouble keeping up with all the orders when it gets busy. Above that kitchen, you'll find our brand new Woof Top Patio, which has a vantage point of our lake view that is going to blow your mind! 

Vodka For Dog People
Beginning right now, throughout Memorial Day Weekend, and lasting until the end of this year's Canine Cannonball (June 8-10,) Tito's Vodka is bringing a great program to Dog Days Bar & Grill. The "Vodka For Dog People Program," which aims to rescue needy animals, was started at Tito's Vodka in 1998. 

When you buy a cocktail from our special Tito's Dog Drink Menu, $10 from each purchase will be donated to the Dogwood Animal Shelter, and Tito's Vodka will match that $10, making it a $20 donation! As a bonus for you, a leash, chew-toy, or water bowl is yours to keep with each drink purchased. Non-drinkers can still purchase those doggy items for $10 without the drink, and Tito's will still match that $10 donation!        

Awesome Vacation House
Last, but certainly not least, Dog Days now has the best vacation rental at the Lake of the Ozarks available to you, and it's right next door to us! This amazing rental property offers 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, 4,500 sq/ft of living space, and it overlooks that same great lake view that you can see from Dog Days. 

Being a new rental, we've got quite a few dates open at the moment, but we expect those to start filling up fast once people hear about this terrific new house. Check availability online, and even book your reservation there too.  

So, what are your Memorial Day Weekend plans this year? We highly suggest that you plan to spend most of it right here with us at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant. Everyone's going to be having the time of their life, and we'd love for you to join in!

National BBQ Month - Dog Days Bar & Grill Style

National BBQ Month happens every May. This is most likely due to the fact that it's warming up and people are ready to get out into their backyards and start grilling again. Skip all the work it takes to grill at home and let our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant take care of all that hard work for you! 

Our sister restaurant, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, has taught us a thing or two over the years about creating the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks. We took what we learned and added our own tasty twists to create a few BBQ dishes to serve here at Dog Days Bar & Grill. Skip the backyard BBQ and instead head our way. In addition to the tasty dishes we're grilling, smoking, and saucing up, we've also got a fully stocked bar, amazing pool, and incredible lake view for you to enjoy along with it. Let us do the cooking, you just enjoy the experience! 

BBQ at Dog Days Bar & Grill

Hickory-Smoked Wings
Smoked, then fried crispy with your choice of sauce and served with celery & ranch or blue cheese dressing. Wing sauces include:

• Original
• Extra Hot
• Bourbon BBQ
• Teriyaki
• Honey Habanero
• Spicy Garlic
• Chili & Jalapeno Dry Rub

Bourbon BBQ Pulled Pork

Slow-smoked pulled pork drizzled with our sweet bourbon BBQ sauce and spicy pickles on a cracked black pepper and sea salt brioche bun. 

The Ozark Burger
Our beef patty topped with bourbon BBQ, shoulder pepper bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese spread on a brioche bun.

BBQ Pork Nachos

All of our nacho dishes start with a bed of corn tortillas, chile con queso, salsa, and sour cream, then additional toppings are added to make them one-of-a-kind. This one adds slow-smoked pulled pork, jalapenos, pickles, and bourbon BBQ.

Brownies & Ice Cream happen to be staples at most backyard barbecues, but don't worry, because the Dog's got you covered there too! If you manage to save some room after dining on the delicious BBQ delicacies above, give our Chocolate Volcano dessert a try! We've taken chocolate ice cream and paired it with warm, gooey brownie bites, then topped it all off with whipped cream and fudge sauce. You may not want to share this tasty treat, but it's actually big enough for everyone to get a bite or two!  

Just because it's National BBQ Month, that doesn't mean that you have to eat BBQ. You may prefer to order a bucket full of crab legs or one of our incredible Beach Bowls instead. Go for it! Our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks provides an extensive menu full of a wide variety of tastes so that everyone in your group can find something delicious to order. 

Dog Days Bar & Grill's suggestion is to make an effort to try something new each time that you're here because it's ALL good! Still, you're bound to have a favorite or two before the season's over. Whether it's one of our BBQ dishes or something else entirely, we're just glad you want to keep coming back for more!
