Don't Miss Dog Days Bar & Grill's Silent Disco Party - Sunday, July 30

Dog Days Bar & Grill is once again hosting an exciting and unforgettable party especially for you - The Silent Disco at the Lake! Malibu Rum is joining the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks to bring this unique and awesome event to the lake area this Sunday, July 30 from 9 pm - midnight. Get those dancing shoes ready for a night full of fun!  

What is a Silent Disco?
Let's break this down. "Silent" means there is no sound happening. "Disco" is a club or party at which people dance to music. A "Silent Disco" is a great big dance party where it appears that there is no music to anyone watching, but the dancers are actually listening to tunes of their choosing through wireless headphones. 

It may look kind of crazy, but it's an absolute blast! This is a fun concept that is being featured at music festivals all over the country, but our party brings this incredible phenomena to the Lake of the Ozarks.  

3 DJs - 3 Music Choices   
The music streaming through those wireless headphones will be provided by 3 of the lake area's favorite DJs: Willie B, Merf, and Jestin Case. One will be playing Country/Rock, another will be spinning EMD (Electronic Dance Music,) and the third will be all Top 40/Hip-Hop/Pop songs. 

Who will be spinning first? No one, because they will all be DJ-ing AT THE SAME TIME! The bluetooth enabled headphones that you will be wearing have a switch that allows you to pick which DJ you can hear. Depending on the channel that you choose, the headphones will light up with that music genre's color. Switch channels and the headphone color will change along with the music. There is no cover charge to attend the party, but there will be a $5 charge for the headphone rental if you'll be joining in on the excitement. 

Sound Like Fun? 
Of course it does! Our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant is all abuzz with this upcoming event. Everyone is really excited about the chance to give this amazing type of party a try. In addition to the chance to dance to your favorite genre of music, we'll also have drink specials going on featuring our co-host's product, Malibu Rum. That's a key ingredient in many of our best cocktails. 

Spread the word, share this blog, text your friends, and make sure everyone knows that they need to be at Dog Days Bar & Grill's Silent Disco at the Lake this Sunday, July 30, 2017 from 9 pm - midnight. It's an experience you won't want to miss, and one that will give you some incredible memories of yet another awesome party at the Dog!

Our Marvelous Mango Dishes Taste Great & Are Good For You

This Saturday, July 22, 2017 is a little known holiday - Mango Day! We appreciate the deliciousness of this sweet, juicy, tropical fruit at our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant, and we love it so much that it is prominently featured in many of our Dog Days Bar & Grill menu items this season. 

Delicious AND Healthy
Around 20 million tons of mangos are grown annually each year, and there are over 400 varieties of this tasty fruit. According to Medical News Today, this is the most widely consumed fruit in the world! Alone, the marvelous mango contains over 20 vitamins and minerals, and when paired with the other healthy ingredients on our menu, the benefits for your body skyrocket even higher. 

Zeaxanthin, an antioxidant found in mangos, plays a role in protecting the health of your eyes, and has been found to decrease the risk and progression of age-related macular degeneration. The beta-carotene found in this fruit lowers the risk for developing asthma and may even help to protect your body against certain cancers. 

The high fiber content promotes a healthy digestive tract and can lower blood glucose levels. Along with the fiber, the potassium in mangos can help to prevent heart disease. Vitamins A and C are present to help with healthy skin and hair growth. Lower cholesterol is also an added benefit of eating this tasty treat. Last, but certainly not least, the generous amounts of certain vitamins, along with 25 different kinds of carotenoids, gives your immune system a nice boost.    

Try Our Mango Dishes
This season Dog Days Bar & Grill added a lot of new menu items specifically targeted at the health-conscious. We did this by adding lots of natural ingredients that not only taste amazing, but also provide your body with much of what it needs daily to stay strong and healthy. The following dishes are where you will find mangos among our menu items. We've even included this amazing fruit in a dessert, and the delicious flavor in a few of our cocktails.   

Lobster Tacos & Asian Tuna Salad

Lobster Tacos
Fried lobster, cabbage, peppadew aioli, mango, and scallions in flour tortillas.

Asian Tuna Salad
Grilled Ahi tuna, fresh baby greens, pickled beets, radishes, fresh mango, tri-color carrot nest, heirloom tomatoes, peppadew, and cucumbers.

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

Thai Chicken Bowl
Tamarind marinated chicken grilled and 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 & Thai Chicken Bowl

Mango Tango
Cruzan Mango Rum with a splash of orange juice and zero-calorie lemon-lime soda. 

Straw-Mangorita
Half-strawberry and half-mango frozen margarita. 

Mango Moscato Creamsicle
Cruzan Mango Run with Domino Moscato Wine, mango puree, and ice cream. 

Mangos and Ice Cream
Fresh diced mango, vanilla bean ice cream, crumbled lady fingers, and whipped cream. 

Mangos & Ice Cream

If you haven't had the chance to experience the incredible flavor of mango yet, give it a chance by ordering one of these delicious dishes from the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. We've given you lots of choices, and so far this year, everyone at Dog Days Bar & Grill has been loving them! We know you're going to enjoy them too.

The Amazing Musical Lineup For AquaPalooza 2017

AquaPalooza 2017 is happening this Saturday, July 15 starting at noon, lakeside, at the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks! Hundreds of boats, thousands of people, tons of incredible food & drinks, and 4 of the best bands you've ever heard, all right here at Dog Days Bar & Grill! 

Scott Duncan
Coming to us from the Kansas City area, Scott Duncan is one of the most accomplished and skilled musicians you'll ever have the pleasure of listening to. He has a wonderfully unique approach to his performance of popular music, plus the amazing ability to vocally change characteristics from one song to the next, allowing him to evoke the sound and feel of the original performers. Expect to hear a little bit of everything: Beatles, U2, Johnny Cash, Boy George, Neil Diamond, Outkast, Jimmy Buffett, Men At Work, John Denver... the list goes on and on! Scott is a true crowd-pleaser. 

The Mixtapes 
This premier 90's tribute band is made up of 5 incredibly talented performers that all take over lead vocals at some point, allowing them to cover a wide range of hits from the decade. They cover the best of yesterday's radio hits with tunes from the Cranberries, Beck, Nirvana, No Doubt, Smashing Pumpkins, Weezer, Foo Fighters, Radiohead, Third Eye Bling, and more. During their show you can relive the days when radio was fun and concerts really got you excited!   

Chris Weaver Band
Mixing southern rock with soul and country blues, Chris Weaver and his incredible band have been inspiring crowds all around the world for many years now. Much of their music's inspiration came from growing up in a musical household and listening to songs by Tom Petty, Bob Seger, John Mellencamp, and Joe Cocker, to name a few. The band has released 2 albums, "Standing In Line" and "American Dreamer." This last album showcases soulful music with a gritty passion for songs that define the American fabric - determination, love, family life, faith in a higher power, and the helpfulness of the American Dream. 

The Elton John Experience
Elton John's music has made its way into history and into our hearts over the years. When his songs play, its hard not to join in and sing along. Dennis Laffoon's Elton John Experience pays tribute to this incredible music, recreating the memorable performances of Sir Elton John. Dennis, a keyboard prodigy, regional celebrity, and national recording artist, not only brings the songs you know and love, but also the outrageous costumes, exciting stage show, and incredible special effects.

AquaPalooza 2017 is Coming!!! - Saturday, July 15

It's time once again for the highly anticipated, single largest 1-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks! AquaPalooza 2017 is happening on Saturday, July 15 at Dog Days Bar & Grill starting at noon. Thousands of people will flock to our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant and bar by land and by lake, and hundreds of boats will be parked on and around our docks to enjoy the show. If you haven't experienced AquaPalooza before, your chance is coming soon! 

The Lakeside Concert
This amazing annual event at the Lake of the Ozarks is centered around an unbelievable lakeside concert featuring 4 incredible musical acts. We put up a stage facing the lake so that everyone can enjoy the show from the restaurant, the docks, and the water in front of it. This year's lineup includes: 

Scott Duncan

The Mixtapes

Chris Weaver Band

The Elton John Experience 

The Thousands of People
We weren't kidding when we said that this was the single largest 1-day boating event at the Lake of the Ozarks. People come from all over the country to attend this awesome party. There is a waiting list for dock slips a year in advance, and all of the boaters that don't get one simply tie up to each other and fill the entire cove with watercraft. In between all of those boats, the lake is filled with people on floaties, sitting back, relaxing, and having a great time with all the new friends they're meeting. 

You don't have to come by boat to join the AquaPalooza fun. You can hear the music from the restaurant, and you can even see the stage from most areas to the side of it, including the Dog Pound. There will also be vendor booths open to browse during the show, and of course, that brand new pool to hang out in! 

The New Pool
You've surely heard by now that we've put in an awesome pool at Dog Days Bar & Grill. There is a family friendly section on one side, plus a more grown-up area with in-water tables and a swim-up bar. This year you can cool off in the water without ever having to get into the lake!  

The Delicious Food & Drinks
As always, we'll be serving up the best-tasting food at the Lake of the Ozarks all day long, beginning at 11 am. Lunch, dinner, and all the snacks you need in between to keep you going all day long. There are 4 bars for you to get all your favorite cocktails from, including the coldest beer on the lake! Come hungry and thirsty, we'll take care of you!  

Great Music All July
AquaPalooza may be the biggest concert happening here in July, but it's not the only one! You can hear the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks all month long on our outdoor and indoor stages.

Throw in one of our popular cocktails, like a Rum Rummer, Pina Colada, or combine the two for a refreshing Pain in the A**! 

The Brand New Pool
Last, but certainly not least, you can now chill out in our brand new pool while you wait for your food, sip cocktails, and enjoy the awesome live music.

Have You Seen Our Brand New Pool Yet?

The latest trend among waterfront restaurants in the lake area is to have a swimming pool. Well, our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront restaurant takes pride in being the most fun place to hang out all summer long, so of course we had to put in a pool of our own! Your reward for patiently putting up with the construction going on at Dog Days Bar & Grill all spring is not one, but two incredible and refreshing pools to lounge in lakeside. 

You may have been shocked when we first opened up this year to find a gigantic hole between the indoor restaurant and the Dog Pound tiki bar. Our big deck, 2nd outdoor bar, and outdoor stage were completely gone! Well, the guys worked hard to replace all of that with something amazing, and that hard work paid off last week.  

We were able to debut our brand new pool at the 2017 White Party on Tuesday, June 13. Ever since then, plenty of people have been out to enjoy this awesome new addition to Dog Days Bar & Grill.

As we mentioned above, there are actually 2 pools. A smaller one with fountains that is perfect for families to enjoy. Right next to that is the larger pool, with access to a swim-up bar and in-water tables to hold your cocktails while you swim. Now you've got every reason to spend the entire day hanging out with us at the Dog! Between lunch and dinner, you've not only got our air-conditioned restaurant to cool off in, but also the pool. 

Since the bandstand was torn down, we've been hosting live music in the Dog Pound. Our outdoor entertainment now has a new home on a brand new stage. It's larger than the old one, and it is centrally located so that it can be seen and heard no matter where you are hanging out at in our Lake of the Ozarks waterfront bar. 

We're not stopping there! We've got a lot more coming your way to make Dog Days Bar & Grill even bigger and even better. We'll be putting the finishing touches on the new bar by the pool soon, and just past the pool we've still got more construction going on. Get ready for a new kitchen, awesome gift shop, and (are you ready for this?) a rooftop patio! Wait til you get a look at our amazing view from that vantage point!

Get on over here soon and check out the best waterfront pool at the Lake of the Ozarks before the summer crowd fills it up. This weekend we've also got the Support Our Troops Poker Run happening on Friday. If you haven't signed up for that yet, get on it! Dog Days Bar & Grill is the final stop, so you know it's going to end with a great big, awesome. poolside party! 

AquaPalooza is back again on July 15, when we'll have both the new pools and the water in front of our lakeside stage packed full of people ready to have a rockin' good time. You can always count on the best waterfront bar & restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks to keep things exciting! Keep an eye on us for tons of fun, all summer long.

Register For This Weekend's 2017 Canine Cannonball - June 16-18

The annual Canine Cannonball at Dog Days Bar & Grill is happening this weekend, June 16-18, and it's not too late to get your four-legged best friend signed up! If your dogs love the water, you can get them pre-registered online or bring them to our waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks this Friday and register on-site for the competition.

The Canine Cannonball is open to all dogs and their handlers. There are 3 different categories in which to compete. You are welcome to sign up for one, two, or all three. Here's a little more information about each category. 

Big Air®
This competition is a long jump for dogs. They may begin at any point on the 40' dock. When ready, they run and jump as far as they can after a toy thrown into the water by their handler. The distance between the end of the dock to the point where the jumper's tail set breaks the water's surface is logged as the official distance.  

Speed Retrieve™
In this event, there is a bumper toy suspended 2" above the water at the far end of the pool with a starting indicator light above it. The dog begins at the 20' starting mark on the dock, and once the indicator light turns green, the handler releases the dog. At this point, the time clock begins, and it stops as soon as the dog pulls the toy from the bracket.  

Extreme Vertical™
This one is for the dogs that can jump high into the air. Once again, they begin at the 20' mark on the dock, and this time a bumper toy is extended 8' from the end of the dock over the water. It begins with the toy at a height of 4'6", and that height is increased by 2" increments as the competition progresses. 

In 2014, Tony Handler and his dog Griz claimed an Outdoor Extreme Vertical World Record right here at Dog Days Bar & Grill. The jump was an amazing 8'9"! Maybe we'll be lucky enough to see another world record set again this year.   Think your dog is up to the challenge? 

Raising Funds for the Dogwood Animal Shelter
Our local no-kill shelter, the Dogwood Animal Shelter, will be onsite this weekend with four-legged friends that are looking for a new, loving home. After seeing all of these amazing, athletic dogs working so well with their handlers in the Canine Cannonball, you're going to want to take one home with you, and the shelter would be thrilled to help you out with that! 

We will also have some cool Canine Cannonball t-shirts on hand for purchase to commemorate this incredible event. All proceeds from the t-shirt sales will go to the Dogwood Animal Shelter. You can get an awesome souvenir and help out this wonderful place at the same time. They make an excellent Father's Day gift!  

Get Signed Up
Visit DockDogs.com to find out more about this exciting event and get your dog registered. Don't forget, you can also register onsite at Dog Days Bar & Grill. It's going to be another amazing weekend to hang out with us at the best waterfront restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. You don't have to participate to join in on the fun. The event is free and open to the public, and we'll have the most delicious food & drinks at the Lake of the Ozarks for you to enjoy while you're here, plus some of the best live music happening all weekend. long.
