5 New Year's Resolutions To Attempt In 2017

When a new year rolls around, a lot of people decide to make a fresh start by making a few resolutions. Usually it's some type of self-improvement, and often it's a promise to do more nice things for others. Just in case you need a little bit of inspiration, Wobbly Boots Roadhouse has come up with a list of 5 resolutions for you to give a try.   

Meet New People
A great way to expand your horizons is to get to know new people. Everyone has their own story, and you can learn a thing or two just by striking up a conversation with someone new. You can always find a friendly face behind the Wobbly Boots BBQ bar to strike up a conversation with, or swing by during your favorite team's game and get to know a few fellow sports fans. Between our 21 televisions, there's bound to be a great game on. 

Pay It Forward
Imagine what would put a smile on your face, then do that thing for someone else hoping for the same result. It can be an act of kindness that doesn't cost you any more than time, like opening a door for someone. If you have a little extra cash to spend, anonymously send a round of drinks or an appetizer to the table across the room from you. If you strive to do one nice thing a day, or even once a week, before you know it, it will become second nature to you.  

Try Something New
Start small, like trying a brand new food that you've never had before. Our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant can probably help you out with that one. (Unless you've braved the entire menu already!) More than likely you've fallen in love with our mouth-watering, hickory smoked BBQ, but there are a lot of other flavors on our menu that may be new to you. 

For example, our fried Catfish BLT is a flavor combo that will tickle your taste buds, or you can try our grilled Salmon BLT if you prefer that fish. We also serve an amazing Crusty Cuban filled with house pulled pork, pit ham, pickles, house mustard, and Swiss cheese. If you simply can't give up ordering your "regular" when you come in, maybe just order a different side dish than you normally choose. Once you get the small task of trying a new food out of the way, you'll have the confidence to tackle something even bigger and newer to you!  

Quit Smoking
This can be a tough one if you've been a smoker for a long time, but New Year's Day seems to be a popular time to resolve to quit. It's a lot healthier for you, and it's also good for the people around you. (Like those new friends you'll be making this year!) 

Our family friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks can help out with this while you're here. Our place is a non-smoking establishment, so no one else will be lighting up and tempting you. It's a perfect spot to try to quit. 

Take A Trip
The United States is a great big place, and there are many exciting areas to explore. If you already live in the lake area, you don't have to go too far from home at first. Plan a day trip just a few hours away. We hear Clive, Iowa near Des Moines is an interesting town, and the best part is that they have a Wobbly Boots Roadhouse of their own, so you'll feel right at home! 

If instead you live outside of the Lake of the Ozarks, then taking a trip here to us is a must! The summer is the busiest time of year, but you will find fun things to fill your time no matter what season you make the trip. The Boot can entertain you year-round, and our sister restaurants - Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina - not only feed you spring through fall, but also offer some of the best live entertainment and events at the Lake of the Ozarks. An amazing vacation destination!  

Start Your New Year At The Boot!

We've tried to give you a few ideas to get your new year started out on a positive note, and we've also got an incredible idea for the best way to end the current year - with a great big, out-of-this-world, exciting New Year's Eve party at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse! 

This Saturday, December 31, we are hosting the best New Year's Eve party at the Lake of the Ozarks! There is no cover charge at the door, and in addition to our regular menu, we'll be serving a special New Year's Eve selection of deliciousness until 10:00 pm.

Our Incredibly Immense Whiskey Menu At Wobbly Boots Roadhouse

One thing that we absolutely love to pair with the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, as well as everything else on our extensive menu, is a good whiskey. The bar at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is stocked with plenty of delicious varieties to choose from - more than 45 varieties, as a matter of fact!

If you are already a whiskey drinker, then you most likely have a favorite. Anyone that is new to the drink may be a little overwhelmed at all of the choices. It's tough to know where to begin when there are so many to pick from. Here's a little background information on this delicious spirit to help you make that decision. 

Whiskeys differ in the main ingredient, alcoholic content, and quality. Malt whiskeys are made up mainly of malted barley, and grain whiskeys can be made from any type of grains, such as corn, rye, or wheat. Depending on the way a distiller combines the ingredients, the following types can be produced: 

Blended - different types of whiskey are blended together, sometimes from different distilleries

Single Malt - made from only one type of malted grain and from only one distillery; unless it is labeled as "single cask," it may be a blend of more than one year from more than one cask

Nearly every country makes its own version, but the four featured below are the most popular, and Wobbly Boots BBQ happens to have them all behind our bar.  

American Whiskey
We currently have 39 American whiskeys on our menu, 27 from Kentucky and 4 from Tennessee.

• Bourbon - This is made from a mash of at least 51% corn. The majority of American bourbon comes from Kentucky.
• Rye - This is distilled from a mash of at least 51% rye.
• Tennessee - What makes whiskey from this state special is that it must be filtered through charcoal. Otherwise, the distillation process is similar to that of a bourbon.
• Examples from our bar: 
• Blanton's (Frankfort, KY)
• Angels' Envy Port Cask (Louisville, KY)
• Jim Beam Black (Clermont, KY)
• Gentleman Jack (Lynchburg, TN)
• Hudson Baby Bourbon Rye (Gardiner, NY)
• Ozark Distillery Whiskey (Osage Beach, MO)

Canadian Whiskey

Whiskey from our neighbors to the north tends to be light-bodied and fruity, and they are most often blends. It must be made in Canada and aged at least 3 years.

• Examples from our bar:
• Crown Royal Northern Harvest Rye (Toronto, Ontario)
• Black Velvet (Valleyfield, Quebec)

Irish Whiskey

Similar to Canadian whiskey, yet with a more robust flavor. It must be made in Ireland and aged at least 3 years. 

• Examples from our bar:
• Jameson Irish Whiskey (Cork, Ireland)
• Jameson Irish Whiskey Caskmates (Cork, Ireland)

Scotch Whisky

Once again, this must be distilled in the country it is named for - Scotland. It must mature in an oak cask at least 3 years. Most are distilled two times, but some go through the process more, as many as twenty times. You might also notice that any whisky from Scotland does not contain the "e" in the name. 

• Examples from our bar:
• Glennfiddich 14 Year (Dufftown, Scotland)
• The Glenlivet 12 Year (Banffshire, Scotland)
• Chivas Regal (Keith, Scotland)
• Monkey Shoulder (Dufftown, Scotland)

If you want to become an aficionado, there is a lot more to learn, but that basic information should get you started. Once you decide which whiskey to try first, one of our talented bartenders should be able to help you pick out a few delicious menu items that will go well with it. Wobbly Boots Roadhouse is not only a great place to hone your whiskey skills, it's a tasty place to do it too!

Well, your favorite BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks has some advice that both kinds of people will find very helpful this holiday season. Read on for the answers to all of your holiday questions. (Well, a lot of them, at least!) 

What should I serve for the party?
Give us a call and we'll help you decide on the best tasting, customized menu to serve all of your guests, and then we'll cook it up and deliver it to your event in our Wobbly Boots Roadhouse catering van. That's not limited to lunch and dinner, because we can even cater breakfast, breaks, office parties, seminars, and more. 

If you don't want to bother with cleaning up before everyone gets there and after they leave, reserve our private party room and host your event at the Boot. In that case, all you have to do is show up, enjoy the celebration, and get all of the well deserved credit for planning the best party ever. 

How do I get these guests out of the house?
Bring them to us! If you are hosting a house full of people this holiday season, everyone is bound to get a little stir crazy after a while. Give everyone a much needed break and head on over to the best BBQ restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. 

We've got plenty of room for groups of every size, 21 televisions playing all of your favorite sports, a fully stocked bar, and food that you don't have to cook for everyone. After a few hours of fun at the Boot, you'll all be ready to head back to the house and enjoy the rest of your holidays together. 

What do I give the person that has everything?
How about a Wobbly Boots Roadhouse gift card? Not only does it allow them an incredible afternoon or evening on you, all of our gift cards can be used at both of our sister restaurants too. If they can hold on to those gifts until next spring, they can be used to make purchases at Dog Days Bar & Grill and Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina. Everyone will love that! 

Where should we go for New Year's Eve?
Once again, the best answer is Wobbly Boots Roadhouse! We'll be partying in style on New Year's Eve. There will be a special menu for the evening, amazing drinks flowing from our talented bartenders, and the best live entertainment at the Lake of the Ozarks. We've got Hott Mess scheduled to rock in the new year right here on our stage from 9:30 pm - 1:30 am. It's an awesome way to end 2016, and an amazing way to begin 2017.

So the next time that you are having trouble figuring out what to do for the holidays this year, form your problem into a question, then answer that question with "Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!" As we've pointed out, there's a very good chance that our family friendly restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks will be the perfect answer.
