Since their opening in 1993, Dog Days Bar & Grill has become one of the premier bar and grill locations in the area by offering a bit of something for everyone. For example, they have not one, but two pools on the property. One is family friendly, while the other is 21 and up with a swim-up bar.

Their menu consists of a variety of pub fare food, such as nachos, wings, and burgers, with an extensive gluten-free selection. The item they are arguably most well known for is their frozen cocktails, perfectly crafted beverages that allow you to beat the heat and are perfect during one of their many dance parties and live music events.
