Find the Best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks at the Boot!

There are quite a few Happy Hours going on around the lake area, but the best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks happens weekly at the Boot! Why do we believe that our special hours are so much better at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse? We're so glad you asked! Read on to find out all about why you need to join us for Happy Hour real soon. 

6 Days a Week
Not only can you enjoy Happy Hour at Wobbly Boots BBQ during the week, but we also throw in a bonus day over the weekend with quite a few bonus hours! Every Monday through Friday from 3-6 pm you're welcome to come in and unwind by taking advantage of some great food and drinks specials. 

Then, each Sunday we host Happy Hour all day long! Yes, you read that right. From the time we open at 11:00 am until we close down Sunday night, Happy Hour pricing is in full effect! 

Happy Hour Drinks
Whether you're in the mood for an ice-cold beer, a glass of wine, or a masterfully mixed cocktail, we've got you covered. Drink specials during Happy Hour at the Boot include $1 off all well drinks, wine, and draft beer. Our fully-stocked bar is filled with all kinds of tempting refreshments for you to enjoy, including 21 different beers on tap, and during Happy Hour, you get a great deal on them as well! 

Happy Hour Food
Once you step inside and get a whiff of those savory, hickory-smoked meats cooking, you're bound to be hungry! You're welcome to order off of our regular menu, but you might want to take advantage of some great Happy Hour food discounts on some very popular (and very delicious) items. 

• Pulled Pork Sliders - 3 for $6
• Shaved Prime Rib Sliders - 3 for $9
• Large Pulled Pork Nachos - $2 off

Sit Anywhere You Like
Unlike many other establishments, our Happy Hour specials are offered to everyone in the restaurant, not just the folks bellying up to the bar. If you happen to come in for a meal with the family or have a big group of friends that you need a large table to accommodate, you can still order Happy Hour items, no matter where you are seated.

Even if you come in on your own, you're bound to run into a few regulars sitting around the bar. If you're willing to strike up a conversation with a stranger, that stranger will very likely be a friend by the time you leave! 

Catch a Game
Another great thing about heading to the Boot for Happy Hour is the fact that it's the best place to watch sports at the Lake of the Ozarks. Quite often there's a great game on during Happy Hour, especially on Sundays. With 21 TVs and a giant projection screen behind the stage, there's never a bad seat in the house and there are always plenty of screens to catch all the games. 

We try our very best to make everyone happy every moment they spend at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant & bar, but during Happy Hour, we give you a bit more incentive than usual to have a great time! The next time you're in the mood for a break from your regular day, come on over and spend some time with us here at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse.

The Surprising Health Benefits of Enjoying a Beer

April 7 is World Health Day and it also happens to be National Beer Day. Coincidence? Possibly, but it made us wonder whether or not enjoying an ice-cold, refreshing beer at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse could be good for you.

As it turns out, there actually are some health benefits to drinking a big, frosty brew when enjoyed responsibly and in moderation. You can get a taste of the best beer at the Lake of the Ozarks with our large selection of beers in bottles and cans plus the 21 brews we have for you on tap too. After a brief explanation of the reason for the two holidays we mentioned above, we'll fill you in on a few fun facts about ways beer can actually be good for you. 

National Beer Day
(AND New Beer's Eve!) 

For over 13 years, beginning in 1920, Prohibition was enforced. This meant that it was illegal to buy or sell beer and alcohol in the United States. In March of 1933, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Cullen-Harrison Act into law, meaning that U.S. residents could once again legally enjoy a drink.

Even though signed in March, the new law did not go into effect until April 7 of that year, which then became known as National Beer Day. This also started the tradition of celebrating New Beer's Eve the night before, April 6. People were so excited about getting the chance to legally purchase a beer, long lines formed outside breweries and pubs the night before! 

World Health Day

This holiday is sponsored by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a global health awareness day. April 7 marks the founding of WHO and they use it as an opportunity to draw worldwide attention to the important subject of global health. Topics of both mental and physical health are addressed, covering a variety of subjects. Beer may not be at the top of their list, but the following very interesting facts prove that it does deserve some recognition. 

Health Benefits of Beer

Enjoyed in moderation, beer actually has quite a few health benefits. If you stick to no more than 1-2 glasses a day, the following facts may be true for you. (This all depends on your own personal health, and your doctor can answer questions particular to your case.) 

• Beer has a thinning effect on blood which can prevent the formation of clots and the vitamin B-6 form it helps to prevent build-up in the arteries, making it good for your cardiovascular health. 
• It can boost your level of "good cholesterol" by 10%-20%, helping to prevent coronary disease. 
• The antioxidant content of beer is equal to that of wine and when it comes to protein and vitamin B, beer has more of those than you get from wine.
• When compared to regular wine and cocktail drinkers, regular beer drinkers were found to have lower blood pressure. 
• The silicon present in beer helps to increase bone density and protect your bones against osteoporosis. In one particular study, drinking 1-2 beers a day showed an increase in bone density for 4.5%. Be aware though that people drinking 3+ brews a day actually lowered their bone density up to 5.2%.
• Beer, especially the darker varieties, is a good source of soluble fiber. This is great for the digestive system. 
• Also a rich source of magnesium, it can aid in the prevention of kidney stones.
• Beer is both high in potassium and low in sodium. 
• Age slower with beer! It increases the potency and impact of vitamin E, which happens to be a major antioxidant that maintains healthy skin and slows the aging process. 
• In one Spanish study, researchers asked people to exercise until their body temperature reached 104 degrees. They then had some drink a beer and others drink water. The beer drinkers turned out to be slightly more hydrated! 

Celebrate All 3 Holidays at the Boot!

We invite you to join us for both New Beer's Eve and National Beer Day. We've got plenty of brews for you to choose from plus, since the latter falls on a Sunday, that means great drink and appetizer specials are in store for you at the best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks which happens at the Boot all day every Sunday!  

As for World Health Day, the diverse menu at Wobbly Boots BBQ is filled with all kinds of delicious choices made with fresh ingredients that do a body good. You can celebrate healthy choices anytime you come in, 7 days a week! Of course, if you want to splurge and indulge in something fried, we won't tell! After all, we make it taste so good, it's hard to resist!

The Best Stop on the 2019 Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl - Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!

We're only a few weeks away from one of the biggest annual events at the Lake of the Ozarks and you'll find Wobbly Boots Roadhouse at the center of all the action! The 2019 Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl is happening on Saturday, February 16 and we've got all kinds of excitement planned for you when you stop at the Boot. 

Live Music
Every stop on the Lake Pub Crawl will feature live entertainment, but we've got the best live music at the Lake of the Ozarks lined up to grace the Wobbly Boots stage all day long! From 4-8 pm the Boomchux will be entertaining our awesome crowd. You'll want to be here early enough to enjoy those talented fellas, but be sure to come back again later in the evening to enjoy the amazing DJ Vinyl Richie from 8 pm-close. We won't stop our party until the final moments of the pub crawl! (It's the law, we have to stop then.) 

Show Up Hungry & Thirsty
We'll be serving our regular menu featuring the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks from 11 am-4 pm. After that, the kitchen will shut down so that we can open up the dining room for dancing and pub crawl antics. You won't' go hungry though, because we'll have a food tent set up outside so you can grab a hot, delicious bite to eat throughout the evening. 

Our fully stocked bar will be slinging all of your favorite mixed drinks, ice-cold beers, and 21 draft beers all night long. (You're going to work up quite a thirst with all of that dancing you'll be doing.) In addition to the main bar, we'll have a few beer tubs set up around the room so you won't have to wait in line too long to quench your thirst. 

Start the Party on Friday 
On Friday, February 15, 2019, the night before the Lake Pub Crawl, our sister restaurant is opening the doors for one very special night! (Sure, they're technically closed this time of year, but this is too great a weekend to sit out!) 

The bar will be open at 7:00 pm at Dog Days Bar & Grill and the stage will be rocking with two incredible live bands starting at 8:00 pm. This double-feature includes The Plastics and The Mixtapes. Tickets will be $15 at the door on show night or you can pick them up in advance right here at the Boot for only $10!  

Lake Pub Crawl Details
All it takes to get into the biggest party at the Lake of the Ozarks is a single, $10 wristband. These can be purchased closer to the event at participating pub crawl stops and Sunshine Daydream on the historic Bagnell Dam Strip. That wristband not only gets you into every stop on the pub crawl route but also a ride on any one of the 20+ buses providing a safe, sober ride to pub crawlers all night long. You can find additional details by visiting www.LakePubCrawl.com.  

Plan Your Route
This year there are 16 bars and restaurants on the Lake Pub Crawl route. The majority of the buses will continuously run the entire route all night long. A few designated "express buses" will only be stopping at 3 venues throughout the evening in case you need to get to the other side of town a little quicker.  

Need a Place to Stay?
If you're coming from out of town and need a place to stay, these amazing vacation houses at the Lake of the Ozarks are an excellent choice. Next door to Dog Days Bar & Grill is a luxury waterfront vacation house that can house up to 18 people. Sitting next to Shorty Pants Lounge & Marina are two amazing vacation rental houses, The Glass House which can hold up to 8 people, and The Red House that accommodates up to 16 guests.   

All of these rentals are centrally located in Osage Beach. You can check availability and rates, see more photos, get details, and book your stay online by clicking the links provided above. 

We expect to be seeing a lot of you during the Lake of the Ozarks Mardi Gras Pub Crawl on Saturday, February 16, 2019. Don't forget to come back to Wobbly Boot BBQ on Sunday too for our all day Sunday Happy Hour. A little "hair of the dog" and some delicious BBQ may be exactly what you need to recover after an exciting night at the Lake Pub Crawl!

5 Reasons We Have the Best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks

Lots of places claim to have the best Happy Hour at the Lake of the Ozarks, but we have quite a few people joining us for Happy Hour at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse every week that will argue that the very best one happens right here! In case you haven't tried it out yet, here are 5 reasons why we know you're going to love Happy Hour at the Boot.   

The Drinks
Happy Hour is known to be a time for relaxing after a long day with a couple of cocktails. Here at the Boot, every Monday-Friday from 3-6 pm plus all day every Sunday, you can enjoy those drinks at a discounted price. Now that's bound to make your time here a little happier!

Our Happy Hour drink specials include $1 off all well drinks and wine. You can also get $1 off of draft beers and we've got 21 of those for you to choose from.

The People
The staff at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant always has a friendly smile waiting here for you to go along with top-notch customer service.

It's Not Limited to the Bar
Unlike many other establishments, our Happy Hour specials are offered to everyone in the restaurant, not just the folks bellying up to the bar. If you happen to come in for a meal with the family or have a big group of friends that you need a table to accommodate, you can still order Happy Hour items, no matter where you are seated.  

It's ALL DAY on Sundays
Weekday Happy Hours are expected, but there aren't a lot of places that also run those specials on a weekend and even fewer that don't limit it to just a couple of hours. When you join us at the Boot on Sunday, we want to end your weekend on a very special note by offering our Happy Hour to you all day long! 

You can always find a great game to watch on our 21 TVs and giant projection screen, but this time of year the sports-watching is exceptionally good.

You know you'll be watching, so you might as well watch here with us and enjoy Happy Hour while you do!   

Most people already know you can find the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks when they join us, but now you can let them know to expect the best Happy Hour too! Come on into Wobbly Boots Roadhouse soon and experience it for yourself. We bet you'll be back for more!

A New Great Bourbon Bar of America Named - Wobbly Boots Roadhouse!

Bourbon and BBQ go together deliciously, which is why we take pride in having an excellent selection of bourbons for you to choose from at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse. Our efforts to provide the best bourbon at the Lake of the Ozarks was recently recognized by the Great Bourbon Team from GreatBourbon.com! We have a certificate to prove it plus many of the tastiest bourbons in America for you to try when you visit us. 

What Makes Bourbon Great
The experts at GreatBourbon.com make it their goal to celebrate the skill and dedication that goes into making a finely crafted bourbon whiskey. First and foremost, we'd like to share what they have to say about what makes a bourbon great; American Heritage, Versatility, and Drinkability. The following descriptions are from www.GreatBourbon.com.  

American Heritage
Bourbon making can be traced back to the late 18th century in our country's infancy and stands as a uniquely American spirit known for quality and craftsmanship. Because of particularly specific and high standards, bourbon tastes different than other whiskeys such as Scotch, Irish, Canadian, or Tennessee whiskey. Bourbon must be made in America and predominantly from corn. This makes bourbon unique among all other styles of whiskey. Furthermore, bourbon is never stored in used barrels. New oak barrels age bourbon slowly over time so it garners a deep amber color and rich flavors as it matures. No artificial color or additives are ever added. Remember, all bourbons are whiskeys, but not all whiskeys are bourbons.

Versatility
The smooth yet complex flavor of bourbon makes it quite versatile for drinking many ways. The easily approachable taste can be enjoyed by connoisseurs and casual drinkers alike. Bourbon tastes magnificent straight up or on ice, but the depth of flavor makes for brilliant craft cocktails and classics, like the Manhattan and the Old Fashioned.

Drinkability
Smoother and more approachable than other whiskeys, bourbon has inherent flavors of vanilla, oak, fruit, spice, and honey. This depth of flavor is subtle and complex, but not overpowering, making bourbon easy to enjoy.

Bourbon at the Boot

One of our favorite events to host here at our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant and bar is the Bourbon Pairing Dinners. During these special evenings in the winter our creative chef comes up with a multi-course gourmet dinner and we pair a savory bourbon to go along with each. Keep an eye out for our next one, because it is a night both whiskey-lovers and food-lovers alike enjoy. 

As for the rest of the time, you can enjoy our amazing selection of quality bourbons 7 days a week with your lunch, dinner, or on their own. We are continuously adding to our impressive collection, so be sure to ask your server or bartender exactly what we've got in stock. These are a few of the fantastic bourbons you can expect to find at Wobbly Boots BBQ.

You've Gotta Try the Mule Drinks at the Boot!

Our Lake of the Ozarks BBQ restaurant & bar knows how to perfectly smoke just about every type of meat over hickory, and we know how to make an amazing cocktail to go along with it too! In addition to the 21 different beers we have on tap at Wobbly Boots Roadhouse in Osage Beach, plus the many ice cold bottles of beer we keep in the cooler, we also have a fully stocked bar capable of mixing up all kinds of delicious drinks. 

One of these drinks, in particular, is the Mule. It's more commonly known as a Moscow Mule, but we've taken liberties with the original ingredients to make up a few of our own different delicious variations, so "Mule" covers them all nicely. Have you heard of a Moscow Mule? If not, get ready to get thirsty! 

The Original Moscow Mule
Contrary to what the name might lead you to believe, the original "Moscow" Mule was created in the United States, not Russia. In 1939, Jon G. Martin of G. F. Heublien Brothers out of Hartford, Connecticut, bought Smirnoff Vodka. (Not just a bottle, but the company.) Little did he realize at the time that Americans were not yet terribly fond of vodka, so the product proved extremely hard to sell. 

Luckily, he knew Jack Morgan, the owner of a Los Angeles pub named Cock 'n' Bull. Morgan was having trouble selling his own house brand of ginger beer. The two men decided to help each other out and come up with a drink combining the two along with a squeeze of lemon (more commonly a lime today) and the classic Moscow Mule was born. Moscow is a nod at the correlation of vodka to Russia, and as for the Mule, well, we're not quite sure how they came up with that.  

Martin traveled the country introducing bartenders to this new delicious cocktail. He added a copper mug as a publicity stunt, and once bartenders agreed to sell the drink, he took 2 Polaroids of them holding the copper mug and a bottle of Smirnoff. One photo would be left at the establishment for advertisement, while the other picture was taken to the next bar to show off the fact that their competitor was selling this popular new drink, so they should too! (Brilliant!) 

Mule Drinks at the Boot
We took the classic taste of a Moscow Mule and added a few different delicious twists! Each one of these contains Missouri-made Ginger Beer and is garnished with a lime and an orange for added freshness and flavor. The difference is in the different liquors we use listed below.  

Moscow Mule

360 Vodka

Zesty Mule

Absolut Citron or Mandarin

Johnny's Mule

Effen Apple

The Highball Mule

Basil Hayden Kentucky Bourbon

Mango Mule

Finlandia Mango Vodka

Mexican Orange Mule

Patron Sivler & Patron Citronage Orange

Cucumber Mule

Ketel Cucumber & Mint

Which of those flavors sounds good to you? Any one of them would pair wonderfully with the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks, so you really can't make a wrong decision! The next time you make your way to Wobbly Boots BBQ, consider giving one of these delicious drinks a try. It could become your new favorite go-to cocktail!
