Fun Facts About Casablanca

Casablanca resides in one of the oldest buildings on the Bagnell Dam Strip. Because of that, it's filled with fun facts, lots of history, and incredibly fun moments. We can't tell you how many thousands of people have been through our doors, and the thousands and thousands of memories that have been made within our vintage walls - but we CAN tell you about some fun facts about our restaurant, the history behind it, and more!

Casablanca History

The Casablanca building was built in 1928. When it was first opened, it was actually the first Lake Ozark Post Office and not the bar you've come to love. When the prohibition ended in 1933, Casablanca was born. The Casablanca bar remained for the next 65 years, serving vacationers, guests, and locals alike the entire time. In 1998, Casablanca was then sold and renamed to Slick's Biker Bar. It's no secret that bikers still love our bar, and being located on the Bagnell Dam Strip definitely helps with that. Every month, Hot Summer Nights comes cruising around, and every year, the Lake Ozark BikeFest comes rolling through.

Eddie & Sharon

In 2003 the building was bought back to a prior Casablanca customer and renames back to Casablanca. Just one short year later in 2004, our very loved Eddie Jordan bought the bar and ran it until 2012. In 2012, the Brick Brothers purchased the building from Eddie on New Year's Eve evening while having a drink with Eddie.

The Brick Brothers have been managing your favorite Lake of the Ozarks restaurant, and since have remodeled the basement and turned it into Casagrotto. Eddie played a HUGE role in our restaurant's history, and it is with great sadness that we say he left this world in January 2017.
