From the Crew at Dog Days Bar & Grill – Osage Beach, MO
When you’re out on the water and hear music drifting across the lake, smell something mouthwatering from a mile out, and see a crowd of people posted up on the deck, cold drinks in hand—you’re close. That’s Dog Days.
We’ve been here since 1993, right in the heart of Osage Beach, doing what we do best: good food, great music, cold drinks, and even better people. Whether you’re coming by boat, car, or wave runner, we’ve got a spot ready for you. This isn’t just a place to eat—it’s a place to land, hang out, and make a day of it.
Dock, Dine, and Chill
Our docks are big enough for just about anything you’re cruising in—from pontoons and cruisers to wave runners. We’ve got plenty of slip space, and the crew’s always around to help tie off or point you in the right direction.
You don’t even need to own a boat—Bombay Boat Rentals is located right on our property. Grab a pontoon or a wave runner and cruise over to the dock like a local.
Pro Tips:
- Weekends fill up fast—get here early if you want prime dock space
- Got questions? Just ask. We’ve helped thousands of boats dock over the years
- If you’re driving in, we’ve got plenty of car and bike parking, too
Come As You Are
Board shorts, flip-flops, tank tops—we’ve seen it all, and we welcome it all. Dog Days is the kind of place where no one’s in a rush, and everyone’s having a good time.
Here’s what you’ll find:
- Two levels of open-air dining with big lake views
- A pool with a swim-up bar (yep, it’s as fun as it sounds)
- Shaded seating and family zones
- Live music and DJs on rotation all summer long
Whether you’re bringing your kids, your dog, or your whole crew, you’re in the right place.
