The LOMDA Spring In-Water Boat Show is at Dog Days This April

It's that wonderful time again when the docks at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach will be filled with the newest and most exciting toys to get you out on the lake this season. That's because we are once again hosting one of the best annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks - the LOMDA Spring In-Water Boat Show! 



LOMDA In-Water Boat Show
In addition to enjoying the lakeside food and drinks you love from our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant and bar, the weekend of Friday-Sunday, April 12-14, 2019, you can do some boat shopping too! Our docks will be filled with the newest watercraft for you to get an up close and personal look at. There will also be lots of tents set up on land showcasing the latest and greatest items you will need for an awesome summer on the water. 

  • Friday, April 12, 1:00-7:00 pm
  • Saturday, April 13, 10:00 am-7 pm
  • Sunday, April 14, 10 am-4 pm

You can view the action from the decks at the Dog, but if you want to get a closer look and actually get your hands on some of those boats, tickets are required. A portion of ticket sales will be donated to a wonderful local organization, Kids Harbor. Tickets are $6 for adults and children 12 and under get in for free.  




MORE: Dealers, Boats, Brands, Vendors, & FUN!
The Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association (LOMDA) promises more dealers, more boats, more brands, more vendors, and more fun at this boat show. The event will show you everything you could possibly need and lots of stuff you'll simply just want for this year's boating season. 

LOMDA represents over 50 local marine dealers and this show brings them all together to make their products available to you in one convenient location. You'll see some of the newest and finest yachts, cruisers, fishing boats, ski boats, and pontoons. There will also be some used trade-ins and brokerage boats on hand. As for additional vendors, they'll be showing off items such as boat lifts, custom-made docks, boat trailers, boat covers, boat motors, marine electronics, and more.    



Stick Around After the Boat Show
You can enjoy something delicious to eat and a cocktail or two in between trips up and down the docks of the in-water boat show all weekend long. On Saturday night, plan to stick around for some of the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks when the Mixtapes take the Dog Days stage. 

The Mixtapes are a fan favorite around here. Every member of this 5-piece group sings, which allows them to cover a huge 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 fantastic 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. 

They were scheduled to play a special winter concert last February which unfortunately had to be canceled due to wintry weather conditions. If you happened to buy tickets to that event, those tickets will be honored at this show in place of the cover charge. 


The weekend of April 12-14, 2019, you can join us for the best waterfront dining at the Lake of the Ozarks, refreshing springtime drinks, amazing live music, and the most amazing boat show at the Lake of the Ozarks! For additional information, visit www.OzarkBoatShow.com or text BOATS to 22828 for updates leading up to the event. We'll see you there!

The Chris Weaver Band LIVE at the Boot Friday, 3/22/19

Yes, the food, the drinks, the lake view, the atmosphere, and the pools (in a few weeks) at Dog Days Bar & Grill are all incredible things that keep bringing people back again and again. One other big draw around here is the fact that we regularly schedule the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks to grace our performance stages. 

This weekend however, we're letting our sister restaurant, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, steal the show. On Friday, March 22, 2019, a Dog Days' favorite, the Chris Weaver Band, will be taking the stage at the Boot.



Friday Concert at the Boot
The Chris Weaver Band quickly became a favorite around here. In 2017 they rocked our AquaPalooza stage and for 2019 they will be back by popular demand once again for the highly anticipated lakeside concert. 

You don't have to wait until July to dance the night away to the Chris Weaver Band because they are helping us usher in the first weekend of spring 2019 on the Wobbly Boots stage. Friday night, March 22, the show will begin at 10:00 pm and the party will last all night long! 

There will be a $5 cover charge at the door but you're going to get a lot more than $5 worth of entertainment! In case you have not yet had the pleasure of hearing this amazing group before, here's a bit of info about these incredible musicians.    



The Chris Weaver Band
Chris Weaver began life in West Virginia but eventually made his way to Nashville along with his band. They earned a chance to play on two of the best live music stages in Nashville, The Stage on Broadway and The Tin Roof. This Americana/Rock band takes their influences from rock, blues, Motown, and general Americana music. 

The Chris Weaver Band was named as one of the "Top 10 Acts to Follow" in 2013 by Billboard. That same year their song "California High" was used in the soundtrack of the motion picture "A Matter of Time."    





They have traveled all over the country performing for major corporations like Sonic, PETCO, Highmark Health, and PSCU to name just a few. This allowed them to open for lots of popular entertainers such as John Mellencamp, Earth Wind & Fire, Chicago, Heart, and more. 

These fellas have acquired a tremendous following in Brazil too where they cooperated with stars from the sertanejo music scene in that country. This collaboration resulted in a live album and DVD "Live in Brazil." 




Join Us This Weekend
You can see this amazing band live this Friday, March 22 at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse, then enjoy them again at our waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks this July at AquaPalooza! Go in early for dinner and stick around all night long for drinks and dancing at the Boot, then spend the rest of your weekend here with us at Dog Days Bar & Grill. We are now open 7 days a week at 11:00 am and can't wait to spend the entire season hanging out with you!

Check Out McCowan's March Pub Menu & Our Cabin Fever Drinks

We love March. It means St. Patrick's Day is coming, Spring will soon be here, and Dog Days Bar & Grill is opening for another season! We are currently working at the Dog to get your favorite waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks ready for opening day. 

All of the classic menu items you already love will be back, but Chef Kevin McCowan has created a very special March Pub Menu to go along with them. Our creative bartenders are also getting in on the act and have come up with a few refreshing beverages to help you get over that cabin fever feeling winter may have given you.   



McCOWAN'S MARCH PUB MENU
In honor of the many delicious tastes associated with St. Patrick's Day, here are a few Irish delights to help you celebrate the holiday.  

Sourdough Corned Beef Melt
Smoked corned beef, swiss, garlic pickles, creamy horseradish, and stout onions on grilled sourdough bread with fries. 

Irish Corned Beef Bombs
Four crispy wontons filled with garlic, kraut, corned beef, and swiss, served with a spicy mustard sauce. 

Beer Cheese and Pretzels
Pretzel knots with smoked sea salt served with a creamy, stout beer cheese sauce. 

Fish and Chips
Hand-breaded Mahi fried and served with fries, creamy coleslaw, lemon, and tartar sauce.   



CABIN FEVER DRINKS
It's been a long, cold winter (especially lately) so here are some delicious drinks that you'll want to come out of hibernation to enjoy! 

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

Kiss Me I'm Irish
Pucker Up with Cruzan Citrus Rum, DeKuyper Sour Apple Pucker, and Lemonade.

BOMB OF THE MONTH

BEER OF THE MONTH
Logboat Bobber Lager
Bobber is an unfiltered lager brewed with inspiration from the pale German lagers. Noble hops provide little bitterness and lend to the crisp finish with a hint of floral notes. Best of luck with the bass fishin'.
