Casa Apps You'll Love

Casablanca is one of the Lake's oldest bars, and we reside in a wonderful building right on the Bagnell Dam Strip. We love the historical aspect of our building about as much as we love the food that we serve here - which is a LOT. From delicious burgers, brick oven pizzas at the Lake of the Ozarks, and hot hoagies, we've got it all. But what we really want to focus on this week is our amazing apps. Casa apps are varied, delicious, and a perfect way to start your meal - so without further ado, check out these apps!

Casablanca Appetizers

Chili Cheese Fries

Chili cheese fries are the essence of American culture and tradition. The cheesy goodness combined with the spicy chili, and let's not forget those potato fries! This Casablanca classic is a combination of french fries, topped with your choice of our famous red meat or white chicken chili, shredded cheddar, and jack cheese, and finished with diced red onion.

Onion Rings

The perfect pair with a large juicy burger, or just on their own. Our onion rings are made from large fresh cut onions breaded in our own beer batter and then fried to a golden brown. Served with our house made Sriracha Aioli sauce.

Nachos

These are "nacho" ordinary app (too much??) We make these practically like a meal with tortilla chips, topped with lettuce, tomato, onion japalenos, white chicken chili, and sour cream.

Calamari

This is the lake, after all, our menu wouldn't be complete without some seafood to pair wonderfully with our lovely lake environment. The sliced calamari is hand breaded and served with horseradish aioli.

Chicken Tenders

This is a basic as it comes. Whether you just need a little pick-me-up before dinner, or your kids want them for dinner, they are amazing. Tender, delicious free range chicken, hand breaded and served with our house made grilled onion ranch or have them tossed in your favorite wing sauce.

Fried Pickles

A country classic, and one that we don't take lightly. Our fried pickles are absolutely delicious! Pickle spears hand breaded and fried, then served with our house tartar sauce. You'll love these.

Chicken Wings

Free-range chicken wings are fried and then char-grilled. Pick between your choice of sauce, breaded or naked.

Sauces

Teriyaki, rosemary & garlic, BBQ, hot.

The Best Apps at the Lake of the Ozarks

Casablanca is not only a favorite among the locals, but it's a wonderful hole in the wall place to visit for lake vacationers as well. Not to mention, you can enjoy an entire afternoon hanging out at the Bagnell Dam Strip, and either start the adventure with lunch, end it with dinner, or stop halfway through for apps and drinks. We look forward to seeing you this summer, it's going to be the best one yet!

5 Reasons to Drink Craft Beer

It's no surprise that as the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks, we also believe in serving only the BEST beer around. We choose our craft beers specifically for their quality and taste because we only want to provide the best for your drinking pleasure. But what really makes a great craft beer and why should you drink it? Here are a few reasons that craft beer has superior flavor and why you'll probably make it a favorite in no time.

Better Taste

Craft beers tend to have a much richer and distinct taste than mass produced beers. Craft brewers take great pride in the flavor of their beer, so they tend to invest a lot more time and energy in achieving just the right taste. It isn't just a job, it's a passion, a hobby, and an art. When there is so much passion that is invested into a beer, you will find that the quality of the beer is impeccable compared to other companies who may spend more time marketing rather than focusing on flavor.

Incredible Variety

Craft beer gives you plenty of choices compared to the common larger beers by major brewers. There are literally thousands of delicious craft beers coming from the craft breweries who strive to create a unique blend of ingredients. This will give you a beer that can become quite the conversation starter! At Casablanca alone, we keep over 15 craft beers on tap!

Health Benefits

Drinking craft beer isn't just for the flavor, it also provides some great health benefits. Craft beers contain antioxidants, protein, and vitamin B complex. It also contains silicon, and some recent studies say that the hops could help guard against the gradual decline of the brain's cognitive functions. Drinking beer with high-quality ingredients (in moderation) can definitely be beneficial.

More Alcohol

Craft beers at the Lake of the Ozarks do more than just provide great taste, they can also offer you more alcohol by volume. In fact, it can increase the volume by 5 to 10 percent, maybe even 20! Beers that come from macro (mass produced) breweries and jokingly (not!) called 'beer water' because they seldom offer more than 2.5 percent. You will need to drink fewer pints of craft beer when to sit down to a cold one, which is more cost effective for you!

Environmentally Friendly Brewing

Many local brewers work hard to maintain environmentally sustainable practices. They utilize composting, offer spent grain to local farmers, and may even use alternative sources of energy. Craft breweries tend to have a larger concern about eco-friendly practices than just making a large amount of money. You can feel confident that when you fill your pint, you'll know that you are helping to reduce waste and help the environment.

Casablanca at the Lake of the Ozarks

Drinking craft beer isn't just "trendy" or "snobbish," it's truly a way to appreciate an incredible talent. Craft beer may be the in thing right now, but that doesn't change the fact that the flavor is incomparable, and the benefits list is long. Come out to Casablanca this week to check out any of the number of incredible beers that we have on tap to see for yourself. You'll never want to go back!

Fun Facts About Beer

It's no secret that we LOVE beer. We have over 15 craft beers on tap and even more in bottles and cans. We take the science of beer seriously. Though, we will admit some of the histories can be rather humorous. You want to know what else can be funny? People once they've drunk beer! I mean, isn't that the reason we drink it? To bring out our funnier, more amusing self? Anyway, here are a few fun facts that you can share before, during, or after you drink the best beer at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Steven Petrosino of New Cumberland, Pennsylvania downed 1 liter of beer or 33 ounces in a chilly 1.3 seconds in 1977 which made him a World Beer Chugging Champion according to the Guinness Book of World Records.

Beer is one of the world's oldest prepared beverages, possibly dating back to the early Neolithic or 6500 BC.

In 1814, almost 400,000 gallons of beer flooded several streets in London after a huge vat ruptured in the parish of St. Giles.

Did you know that beer is the world's most widely consumed alcoholic beverage and the third most popular drink overall (after water and tea)?

Beer supposedly can prevent kidney stones. A study published in American Journal of Epidemiology estimated that a bottle of beer consumed every day reduces the risk by 40%.

Beer commercials in the US aren't really allowed to show people actually drinking the beer. It's a US law that people cannot actually be shown consuming an alcoholic beverage on television. You're probably going to watch your favorite shows a LOT closer now, aren't you?

Do you know what zythology stands for? It is the official scientific name describing the study of beer and beer-making. It comes from the Greek word  "zythos" (beer) and "logos" (study).

Do you think that the US is the most beer-drinking country? Think again! The Czech Republic. Their capita beer consumption is almost 40 gallons per year!

Experimenting with beer is actually a thing. John Lubbock, an 18th-century English biologist, studied the behavior of beer on drunken ants.

If you thought that our fifteen beers on tap was impressive - there are actually about 440 types of beer in the world! Belgium is the country that has the most individual beer brands.

Finally, the fear of an empty beer glass is REALLY a thing. This terrifying phobia is known as Cenosillicaphobia.

Craft Beer at the Lake of the Ozarks!

From beer to amazing food - you can enjoy coming out to Casablanca for a great time. We have a delicious food menu, and from pizza to burgers, you'll find it all at our local bar at the Lake of the Ozarks. This weekend is going to be a great time to join us - so come out and hang with us. The beer is cold, the brick oven is HOT, and we're ready for you!

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.

Fun Facts About Your Lake of the Ozarks Bar

Any building that has been through as much as our will have some fun facts! Check out these CRAZY things about our restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks.

1. The basement was a speakeasy during prohibition.

2. The walls and floors of our restaurant are from cut down trees during the construction of the dam.

3. Casablanca is the oldest bar in Lake of the Ozarks.

4. In the 1930's Bonnie and Clyde were known to frequent this establishment.

5. There are 27 TV's in Casablanca and it has a dedicated 15 ton A/C unit for upstairs.

6. The POW WOW PUB sign on the patio is the original one from the hotel bar.

Your Hometown Bar

Everyone needs a place they can go on Friday evenings after a long week, Saturday afternoons when they need a great meal and cold beer - and that place is Casablanca. Our bar is the oldest bar at the Lake, and that isn't the only reason you should come and enjoy a meal with us. From appetizers to pizza, and burgers to beer - we've got it all. Come out and enjoy your weekend meals with us, we look forward to seeing you!

Beer Lore - The Truth Uncovered

If you're like us, there is nothing quite like sitting down to a cold brew after a long day. Whether you pop open a can, screw the top off of a bottle, or come down to the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks and get it on tap, there are many ways to enjoy your favorite brew. There are many myths that surround this popular beverage, and while these myths may not affect the way you enjoy your drink, some of them may be surprising. Here are a few funny and interesting myths about beer and the truth that can set you free.

Myth:
Beer is meant to be served ice cold.

Truth:
The serving temperature of beer actually varies by style. Did you know that you can't taste beer if it's too cold? Pilsners and IPAs are usually served around 40-44º F, while heavier beers are enjoyed around 55ºF.

Myth:

Craft beers must be aged.

Truth:

While some beers (typically, ones with high alcohol content) should be aged, there are others, like hoppy beers, should be consumed as fresh as possible.

Myth:
When a cold beer gets warm, it's skunked.

Truth:
Temperature changes can affect your beer in some ways, but skunking it is not one of them. Skunked beer is actually caused when a beer is exposed to light, especially if it's a hoppy beer.

Myth:

Dark beer = Strong Beer

Truth:

The color of your beer actually has no correlation on the alcohol or even caloric content. Dark beer's grains are just roasted longer which causes the dark color.

Myth:
The best beers are served in glass bottles.

Truth:
Cans are actually the best way to package beers. They are protected from the light and oxygen better than you will find in bottled beer.

Myth:

All beer tastes the same.

Truth:

If you take the time to try many different beers, you will find that there is an incredible diversity between the flavors in a beer. The styles can range from bitter to sweet to sour. Beer can also vary between no alcohol content to being stronger than wine!

Myth:
Lagers and Pilsners are the same.

Truth:
Pilsners are actually just one of the many lager types. A Pilsner beer is golden and refreshing, while lagers can also be dark, malty, and very strong.

The Best Beer at the Lake of the Ozarks

If you love a cold glass of beer as much as we do, then you'll love coming out to Casablanca Bar & Grill! We have over FIFTEEN craft beers on tap! We keep the kegs cold, and the pump them through our glycol system which brings the flavors to your frosted glass at the perfect temperature.

Fun Facts About St. Pat's to Share Over a Pint

Over 64 million Americans will be celebrating St. Patricks Day, and whether they're going to parties or coming out to their favorite bar at the Lake of the Ozarks, it's going to be a great weekend! We would love to see you, share the luck of the Irish, and even invite you to try our special Reuben pizza that is ONLY available until March 17th.

If you're planning on enjoying the evening at the bar, here are a few fun facts to share with your local leprechauns while you enjoy a pint, or two!

To celebrate St. Patrick's Day, 110 million people will celebrate the day by wearing green, eating an Irish-inspired meal, or going out to celebrate.

The largest St. Patrick's Day parade in the United States, and held since 1762, is in New York City. It draws more than one million spectators each year.

In Ireland, St. Patrick's Day is a religious holiday similar to Christmas and Easter.

The very first St. Patrick's Day parade was not in Ireland. It was in Boston in 1737.

The city of Chicago is so excited about St. Patrick's Day that they dye their river green, and have been doing it since 1962! They used 45 pounds of vegetable-based die to accomplish this.

Who knew that cards for St. Patrick's day were popular?! Apparently, there are 15 million cards that are exchanged on St. Patrick's Day. 

33.7 million U.S. residents who are of Irish ancestry. That number is almost nine times the population of Ireland itself.

While green is the color of the day, St. Patrick was actually known for wearing "Saint Patrick's blue." Yet green is popular because it is the color of spring, of Ireland, and of the shamrock.

Reuben pizza at Casablanca!

Because Ireland is primarily Catholic, and March 17th occurs in the midst of Lent, they named St. Patrick's Day a religious holiday so that the bars would close and beer wasn't served. They finally got "lucky" in 1961 when the holiday was introduced as a national holiday and the pubs and bars reopened!

Cabbage shipments increase by about 70% during the week of St. Patrick's Day. 

The Best Beer at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Celebrate World Bartender Day With Us!

Did you know that February 24th is World Bartender Day? This is a great day to celebrate the people in your life who can serve up your favorite drink, keep it filled, and always know your name ;). Here at Casablanca, we love our bartenders, and the place just wouldn't be the same without them. Here are a few fun facts alcohol, and some information about the beers we serve up on a daily basis at the best bar at the Lake of the Ozarks!

Fun Facts About Bartending

The phrase "mind your Ps & Qs" comes from bartenders. Bartenders in England would tell rowdy patrons to mind their Ps & Qs—meaning, pints and quarts. It was later shortened and used for other scenarios.

Jeremiah "Jerry" Thomas was an American bartender and is considered the "father of the American mixology." He learned how to bartend in New Haven, Connecticut before sailing for California where he worked as a bartender, gold prospector, and show manager. In 1862 he finished the book titled "How to Mix Drinks" which was the first drink book ever published in the United States.
