Dog Days Bar & Grill's 4th of July 2020 at the Lake of the Ozarks

Independence Day falls on a Saturday this year and Dog Days Bar & Grill is filling the weekend, as well as the days leading up to the holiday weekend, with everything you need for an exciting 4th of July at the Lake of the Ozarks! If you're on the lookout for fantastic food, refreshing drinks, incredible live music, poolside fun, and breathtaking lake views, then your holiday plans need to include a few trips to the Dog. 

Mouthwatering Menus
First and foremost, to be considered the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks, you need an impressive menu filled with both delicious food items and equally irresistible adult beverages. When you dine at the Dog, you'll have so many mouthwatering items to choose from, you're going to need to pay us a visit more than once! 

Seafood fans will be excited about our Snow Crab Clusters, Tuna Poke, Maui Fish Bowl, and Baked Seafood Pasta, just to name a few. We've got a long list of Chef's Signature Burgers including the spicy Inferno and our delicious bacon-BBQ burger, The Ozark. 

You'll also find gourmet tacos and nachos, signature sandwiches and wraps, savory salads, incredible entrees, a terrific kids' menu, and so much more! Add to that 3 fully-stocked bars serving ice-cold beer and all the mixed drinks imaginable, and you'd better plan to show up both hungry and thirsty! 

Amazing Live Music
When it comes to the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks, that's another area where no other place can top the Dog! Most weeks we feature musical entertainment every Tuesday-Sunday. Here's the amazing lineup we've prepared for you leading up to and including the 4th of July weekend.

We are very proud to join many other Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bars & restaurants for the 2020 Support Our Troops Poker Run! The always awesome event takes place this Friday, June 26, and both begins and ends right here at Dog Days Bar & Grill!  

Start & Stop at the Dog
The Support Our Troops Poker Run is a full day of fun on the lake. Your pals here at Dog Days Bar & Grill have been tasked with making sure everyone has plenty of energy to get them going at the start and with hosting the whole gang after the poker run for a night of even more excitement.

Helicopter photos will be taken in our no-wake zone at 3:00 pm before check-in. Beginning at 4:00 pm, it will be time to turn in those cards to see who ends up with the best hand! 

Once that's all taken care of, hang around for some dinner and live entertainment. DJ INNA will be spinning by the pool from 3-7 pm, followed by DJ Dr. Cheese from 7-11 pm. (See, it's just like we said earlier, a FULL day of fun!)

The Best Burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks Are Made at Dog Days Bar & Grill!

A quick look through the menu at our waterfront restaurant & bar at the Lake of the Ozarks shows you that we offer a wide variety of different types of food. For example, if you're craving savory seafood, incredible salads, specialty nachos, gourmet tacos, fresh Beach Bowls, or signature entrees, we've got you covered. (And that's not even all of it!) 

Today, however, this blog is focusing on another favorite food from Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach. Here is a closer look at our Chef's Signature Burgers! (What we believe to the be the best burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks, but we'll let you be the final judge on that.) With generous patties, fresh toppings, and the addition of one of our delicious side dishes, these burgers are each a fully satisfying meal.  

Chef's Signature Burgers
All of the burgers served at Dog Days are made up of a half-pound of quality Angus beef. It's a mixture of 60% chuck, 20% brisket, and 20% short rib which creates a full-flavored, juicy, make-your-mouth-water burger! 

You are welcome to start from scratch and make your own burger creation with the toppings of your choice. First, though, check out the incredible signature burgers that our chef came up with this year. Also, you may upgrade the bun on the following burger creations with a gluten-free bun or a pretzel bun for a small additional charge.

All American
Topped with American cheese, or you can substitute the cheese of your choice. (Listed below) It's served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on the side. 

The Ozark 
Sharp cheddar cheese spread, pecan-smoked shoulder bacon, and bourbon BBQ sauce served on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on the side. 

The Old Fashion
Two thin quarter-pound beef patties smashed on the griddle and topped with sauteed onions, American cheese, and pickles on a brioche bun. 

Kimchi Burger
Sauteed Kimchi and red onion sandwiched between two quarter-pound patties and topped with Kohlrabi ginger slaw and gouchajang mayo on a pretzel bun. 

Baja Burger
Pepper jack cheese, jalapeno, avocado, and chipotle ranch on a brioche bun with lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle on the side.

Blackened Bacon Bleu
A blackened half-pound burger topped with bacon jam, melted blue cheese crumbles, and crisp bacon on a salt and pepper brioche bun.

The Inferno 
A pepper dry-rubbed burger patty chargrilled and then topped with ghost pepper cheese, sauteed onions, fresh jalapenos, and a hot honey inferno sauce. You may want to add a side of ice cream to cool the burn! 

San Francisco Melt 
Melted cheddar jack cheese, smoked bacon, fresh green leaf lettuce, tomato, and onion with 1000 Island dressing on grilled sourdough bread. 

Additional Toppings

• Sliced Cheese (American, Swiss, Pepper Jack, Cheddar, Provolone, Shredded Cheddar Jack, Provel)

June at the Dog is Packed FULL of Fun & LIve Music

June has arrived and at Dog Days Bar & Grill in Osage Beach! That means a brand new month full of awesome events and spectacular live music taking place at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar & restaurant. Get out those calendars and get ready to fill them up with the awesome happenings going on at the Dog! 

Summer In-Water Boat Shows
Weekends, June 6-August 23
We hated the fact that the Annual LOMDA Spring In-Water Boat Show in the Dog Days' docks had to be canceled this year. To make up for that, the Lake of the Ozarks Marine Dealers Association is teaming up with us to bring a series of mini boat shows to our docks every weekend in June, July, and August 2020! (AquaPalooza and the 4th of July weekend are not included in this series.) 

Join many of your favorite Marine Dealers from around the lake area as they showcase some of their newest products right here at the 19MM. Different dealers will be featured each weekend and they'll have some incredible "toys" in the water, ready for you to test drive!  

Lake Jeep Invasion
Tuesday, June 9
The second Tuesday of every month at the Dog is now the home of a Jeep Invasion! The Lake of the Ozarks Jeep Club will be meeting up and you are all invited to join them. Park your jeeps lakeside in our lower parking lot. It's a chance to get together, mingle, and talk about all things "Jeep." As an added bonus, everyone bringing their jeep that evening will receive 10% off of their check.  

Saturday Afternoon Music by the Pool
Below you'll find a list of the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks coming to Dog Days in the evenings throughout June. In addition to that, we've also got incredible entertainment in store for you by the pool every Saturday afternoon, all season long! 

Hanging out poolside from 2:00-6:00 pm on Saturdays is a favorite around here, DJ Curt (aka, Ya Girl's Favorite DJ!) He plays a little bit of everything from A to Z and keeps the excitement high and the entertainment awesome!
