Meet the Bands of Our December Concert at the Lake of the Ozarks - The Mixtapes & 2 Screws Loose

December is here which means it's almost time to head back on over to Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach for a night full of the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks! We are actually closed for the season right now but we couldn't resist throwing a great big musical party to celebrate the 1st official day of winter. (Plus, we really miss you guys!) 

The concert will take place on the indoor stage of our waterfront bar at the Lake of the Ozarks on Saturday, December 21, 2019. Doors will open at 7:00 pm with music beginning at 8:00 pm. Both the bar and the dance floor will be ready for you to party just like it's the middle of summer! (We plan to stay out of the pools though.) 

Tickets are available in advance at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach for $10 each or you can get yours at the door on show night for $15 each. Now, here's a closer look at the two amazing bands we've lined up for you!   

The Mixtapes
The Mixtapes are regulars to the Dog Days stage and they always bring in a huge crowd! Every member of this 5-piece group sings, which allows them to cover a wide range of music spanning the Cranberries, Nirvana, No Doubt, Beastie Boys, TLC, Radiohead, Spice Girls, Weezer, Rage Against the Machine, Britney Spears, & Beck... just to name a few! 

This talented bunch of musicians brings the excitement and nostalgia of the 90s to life with a high-energy show that will keep you on the dance floor all night long. This show will let you relive the days when radio was fun and concerts really got you excited! 

2 Screws Loose
Carrying on the 90s music theme, 2 Screws Loose will be warming up the crowd with their own special sound. Of course, you may hear more than just songs from the 90s because in their own words, they "play 90s songs and whatever else we feel like!" 

Get ready for a night similar to what you'd expect from MTV Unplugged. (That is, if you remember when MTV actually had music!) This will be the band's first appearance at Dog Days Bar & Grill and from what we've heard from them already, we know you're going to love them!  

Then, in February...
This December concert will be an action-packed night of music that you don't want to miss, so be sure to pick your tickets up today! We know you're going to love this special winter concert at Dog Days Bar & Grill so much that you'll be ready to come back again in February for another off-season musical event featuring Machine Gun Symphony! 

Even though we're still not quite open for the 2020 season yet in February, we couldn't pass up the chance to get in on some of the Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl fun. The night before the pub crawl on Friday, February 7, 2020, the always exciting Machine Gun Symphony will be rocking the Dog Days Bar & Grill stage! 

Mark your calendars now and stay tuned for details about when those tickets go on sale. Until then, we'll expect to see each and every one of you at the Dog on Saturday, February 21, 2019, for 2 Screws Loose and the Mixtapes! See you soon!

Mark Your Calendars for 2 Winter Concert Events at Dog Days Bar & Grill

Over the years we've discovered it's as hard for us to stay away from Dog Days Bar & Grill during the off-season as it is for you. For that very reason, plans are in motion for two winter events at the Dog featuring some of the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks! Get those calendars out now & get these dates marked down. 

Saturday, December 21, 2019
The Mixtapes
& Two Screws Loose
To celebrate the 1st official day of winter 2019, we're hosting a concert featuring the Mixtapes plus opening band Two Screws Loose. It will be a night full of amazing music, great drinks, and the type of party you can only find at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant. 

The Mixtapes are a high-energy party all on their own. Their musical lineup is loaded with a huge range of music spanning the 90s including tunes from No Doubt, Third Eye Blind, Britney Spears, Nine Inch Nails, The Cranberries, Blink 182, Ricky Martin, Spice Girls, Nirvana, and more. Basically, if you loved it from the 90s there’s a good chance you’ll hear it during their show! Come relive some 90s nostalgia with The Mixtapes!

Opening the show will be Two Screws Loose. This will be their first time performing at Dog Days and we know you're going to love them. After all, only the best live music makes it to the Dog Days stage! 

Friday, February 7, 2020
Mardi Gras Pub Crawl Pre-Party with
Machine Gun Symphony 
The Mardi Gras Pub Crawl is one of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks. Just because we're closed for the season in February, that doesn't mean we're going to miss out on the excitement! For that very reason, on the Friday before the pub crawl, Dog Days Bar & Grill is hosting a pre-party with one of our favorite bands - Machine Gun Symphony! 

This face-melting 80s metal tribute band will have you thinking you traveled back in time! Exploding on stage amid a flurry of hairspray and screeching guitars, Machine Gun Symphony is not your typical cover band. They bring back an era where excess is a way of life and these musicians masterfully pay homage to the bands that created music to define a generation. Get ready to hear many of your favorites from Bon Jovi, Motley Crue, AC/DC, Poison, Guns 'N' Roses, and a whole lot more. 

After we get your weekend started, head on out for the 2020 Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl on Saturday, February 8 beginning at 4:00pm. (That gives you plenty of time to sleep in after partying at our awesome event the night before!) 

Wristbands are $10 each and those get you into every stop on the route plus a bus ride with a sober chauffeur. Find more information about the pub crawl by visiting www.LakePubCrawl.com.

Be sure to keep an eye on the Dog Days Bar & Grill social media pages and our website for updates about the winter events at the Lake of the Ozarks listed above. We'll let you know when tickets go on sale. After those concerts are over, we'll be even closer to spring and the re-opening of Dog Days Bar & Grill. Then we can party together every single weekend!

Tacos & Nachos That Will WOW Your Taste Buds

Among the long list of irresistible delicacies on the menu at our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, our gourmet tacos and signature nachos are extremely popular with diners. You'll find classic ingredients in these dishes but you will also find quite a few ingredients and recipes unique to Dog Days Bar & Grill. If you're in the mood for something familiar yet slightly different, one of these tasty options might be exactly what you need! 

Gourmet Tacos
We've got five fantastic types of tacos for you to choose from on the menu. Each order is served with natural cut fries or you may upgrade to one of our signature side dishes. Salsa and sour cream are available upon request.  

Spicy Beef Tacos
Ground beef, shredded lettuce, cheddar jack cheese, pico, and roasted tomato and jalapeno ranch. 

Steak Tacos
Blackened tender tips with our Southern spices, cheddar jack cheese, pico, roasted tomato, and jalapeno cream and cabbage in two flour tortillas. 

Jerk Chicken Tacos
Diced chicken smoked with island spices, cabbage, peppadews, sweet corn, and sweet and spicy jerk sauce. 

Blackened Mahi Tacos
Mahi filets seared in our Southern spices with crisp cabbage and pico in two flour tortillas drizzled in roasted tomato and jalapeno cream.

Asian Shrimp Tacos
Sauteed teriyaki shrimp, crisp cabbage, pico, and shredded pepper jack cheese.

Signature Nachos
Four of the nacho plates at Dog Days Bar & Brill begin with a bed of corn tortilla chips and chile con queso, plus salsa and sour cream served on the side. Beyond that, each one is deliciously different. The fifth type is even more unique in a very flavorful way. 

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

Jerk Chicken Nachos
Smoked jerk chicken breast, pico, jalapenos, cheddar jack cheese, shredded lettuce, and roasted jalapeno cream sauce.

Any one of those delicious dishes pairs nicely with an ice-cold Corona or one of our masterfully mixed margaritas. You've still got plenty of days left to sit outside and dine lakeside on the deck, but our indoor dining room is cozy and waiting for you when the fall chill gets to be a bit too much. 

Dog Days Bar Grill is still open 7 days a week beginning at 11:00 am. Come on by soon and fill up on all of your favorites before we wind things down for the season. That way it will be a lot easier for you to make it through a Dog-less winter!

A Few of Our Favorite Things... From the Menu!

Our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks offers an excellent menu of delicious dishes for you to enjoy from spring through fall. You've still got time to get on over to Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach and order up your favorite foods from our kitchen and maybe even order something new you've been meaning to try. Here's a look at a few of those tasty treats to get your appetite excited! 

Chocolate Volcano
We know it's hard to save room for dessert, so we're starting the list with this irresistible treat instead of waiting until the end. (There's no reason why you can't eat dessert before your main meal!) 

Chocolate ice cream is paired with warm, gooey brownie bites, fudge sauce, and whipped cream. It's big enough to share, so bring a few friends to help you out if you're worried about it being too big to finish yourself.  

Crab Legs
Sweet, succulent snow crab legs boiled in our savory southern spices and served with lemon and garlic butter. We sell them by the pound (2 clusters per pound) but you're welcome to order more than just 1 pound!

Tuna Poke Nachos
Yes, we said nachos! For this delicious dish, we use chilled yellowfin tuna tossed with sweetened soy-ginger sauce plus diced mango, wakame, pickled ginger, wasabi cream, and sesame seeds on top of fried wontons. 

If you're in the mood for more of a classic nacho, we offer Spicy Beef, Seafood, Jerk Chicken, and BBQ Pork plus a variety of wonderful toppings on tortilla chips too. 

The Ozark Signature Burger
Our best beef patty topped with bourbon BBQ sauce, shoulder pepper bacon, and sharp cheddar cheese spread on a brioche bun. Fantastic flavors that fit together scrumptiously. 

Gourmet Tacos
Tacos are a very popular food and we've got 5 different mouthwatering varieties that are sure to tickle your taste buds. Fresh, flavorful ingredients are paired with either Jerk Chicken, Asian Shrimp, Blackened Mahi, Spicy Beef, or Steak. 

Dogwood Avocado Club
This above-average sandwich is piled high with irresistible ingredients! These include shaved smoked turkey breast, ham, crisp bacon, green leaf lettuce, sliced tomato, fresh avocado, Swiss and American cheeses, and garlic mayo on wheatberry bread.  

Grilled Chicken Strawberry Spinach Salad
Fruits, vegetables, and perfectly grilled chicken combine to create a salad that pleases all of your taste buds! This particular salad is filled with baby spinach greens, candied pecans, sliced strawberries, cucumbers, fresh grilled chicken breast, garlic croutons, and bleu cheese crumbles and is served with a raspberry vinaigrette. 

Cabo Shrimp Bowl
So much mouthwatering goodness in just one bowl! Grilled shrimp, pickled onions, jalapeno, shoepeg corn, and fresh avocado are served on top of a hearty helping of wild rice and quinoa. 

Right here in today's blog you've got enough variety to please just about every type of hunger, and that's only the beginning! You will find a whole lot more delicious dishes if you view our menu online. An even better idea is to visit us at Dog Days Bar & Grill and check out that menu in person.

5 Reasons Why Dog Days is Awesome in Autumn

Fall at the Lake of the Ozarks is an incredible time of year. The scenery is simply breathtaking as a backdrop of colorful leaves compliments the relaxing view of the lake. Another bonus is that our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant is still open for the season. 

That means you can still enjoy everything that you love about Dog Days Bar & Grill before we eventually bring our season to an end. (It's not too late yet!) Here are 5 highlights about what it's like around here right now that you simply cannot pass up.  

Fantastic Fall Menus
Our regular menu is still available to order from, but we're also currently offering a special "Super Bowls" menu. This features football-themed dishes (like the Patty Mahomes Bowl - Go Chiefs!) We also have a spectacular "Fall Cocktails" menu with refreshing seasonal drinks that you are sure to love. Get a more detailed look at each drink and food item here.    

That Amazing Lake View
The ever-changing scenic beauty found all around the lake area in the fall is something everyone should witness. If you thought the panoramic view from our lakeside decks was fantastic throughout the summer, wait until you get a look at it with colorful fall foliage along the shores!  

It's Less Crowded
We still have a lot of people joining us daily for lunch, dinner, and drinks but since the majority of vacationers head to the Lake of the Ozarks in the summer, it's unlikely you'll have to fight through any crowds this time of year. The Fall Harbor Hop is happening this Saturday, October 12, 2019 (and we're a 2-card stop) so that will be busy and exciting. Most of the days around here right now though are perfect for relaxing lakeside and truly enjoying the experience. 

You Can Stay With Us
For everyone living in the lake area, it's no problem to head on over to Dog Days for lunch or dinner. If you're coming from out of town, you may need a place to stay while you're here. Stay with us! Well, in our Lake of the Ozarks luxury vacation house rental located next door to Dog Days, that is.

You can check availability and make a reservation online year-round. (Yes, you can stay here even when the restaurant is closed!) This luxury lake view house has 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and all the comforts of home. The perfect place to stay with the entire family or a great big bunch of friends. 

We're Not Closed Yet!

We're still open around here for at least a few weeks longer, but we are a seasonal restaurant, so at some point, we're going to have to close down for the winter. Not yet though! You can still join us to fill up on all of your favorite Dog Days Bar & Grill food and drinks and create plenty of memories to last until we open back up again next spring! An awesome time is still waiting for you at our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. Come and get it!

A Week of Excitement - Bogeys & Beer AND the Fall Harbor Hop!

If someone tries to tell you that the lake area is boring once summer is over, then they're looking for fun in all the wrong places! Coming up very soon at Dog Days Bar & Grill we've got two awesome annual events happening in the very same week! Plus, our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant, heated pool included, is still open 7 days a week. Fall at the lake is amazing when you know where to go!

Bogeys & Beer Golf Tournament
Thursday, October 10
If you enjoy golf, beer, and spending an entire day outside having the time of your life, then this is the perfect event for you. The money raised goes to some very deserving local organizations too, so you're even helping the community while you have some fun! 

The 20th Annual Bogeys & Beer Benefit Golf Tournament is taking place at The Oaks at Margaritaville in Osage Beach. Registration will begin at 10:00 am with a shotgun start happening at 11:00 am. Tons of prizes are up for grabs, there will be all kinds of tasty drinks to enjoy, and a box lunch is being provided by Mexicali Blues. 

There are 3 levels of team sponsorships available, plus another level for anyone wanting to donate but not necessarily play. (These levels are detailed in the flyer below. Download a registration flyer here. ) Once the tournament is over, everyone will be heading to Dog Days Bar & Grill for an event dinner. There will be some terrific silent and live auction items for you to bid on too. 

Fall Harbor Hop
Saturday, October 12
You'll have Friday to recover from Bogeys & Beer but then it's time to hop on the boat and collect a winning poker hand for the 34th Annual Fall Harbor Hop! In case the concept is new to you, here's how it works. 

A $20 donation made at any of the participating stops allows you to begin "hopping" across the lake from place to place picking up a card at each venue until you have a full hand of seven. (Dog Days Bar & Grill happens to be a 2-card stop, which means you can plan to spend a little extra time here hanging out with us. Be sure to bring your suit because our pools are heated!)

You can find a full list of stops, prizes available, and rules by visiting www.Funlake.com/HarborHop. As long as you have your hand turned in by 7:00 pm that day, you will be in the running for some great prizes. The talented Steven Moore will entertain our crowds during the day and once you're done hopping, be sure to head back to the Dog to dance the night away with DJ Curt.

Stay Next Door to the Dog
If you're coming from out of town, or if you live locally but want to spend the entire weekend right next door to all the action at the Dog with a group of friends, book our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront vacation house rental. Currently, it's free during the two incredible events above, but don't wait too long and miss out! 

This luxury vacation rental has the same breathtaking view that you've seen from Dog Days. There are multiple large windows to enjoy it from plus outdoor decks on both levels. It sleeps up to 18 guests. There are 5 bedrooms, 3.5 bathrooms, and all the comforts of home to enjoy during your stay. There's even a covered boat slip available on the property to park your boat while you're not Harbor Hopping!

This is definitely a great time to be in the lake area. Dog Days Bar & Grill is open 7 days a week beginning at 11:00 am, the weather is wonderful, and the scenery is positively breathtaking in the fall. Come for the awesome events listed above and then stick around a few extra days. You'll be very glad that you did!
