Testimonials About Your Favorite Pub

Casablanca at the Lake of the Ozarks is well known as one of the best bars at the Lake of the Ozarks. We provide an amazing atmosphere, great food, and of course, incredible beer. You don't have to take our word for it! Here are only a FEW of the raving reviews that our incredible clients left about us in 2017 and we wanted to share them with you!



Busy For A Good Reason 

"Came for dinner with my wife on an oddly warm February Friday night. We sat outside and the beautiful weather complemented the great food, solid service, and friendly clientele. It's certainly crowded--ten minutes before we left, we already had a group of women asking if they could lay claim to our table--but it's worth it.

We went simple with the food, with a salad and a Margherita pizza. The salad was excellent, with what tasted like house-made blue cheese dressing. The pizza was thin crust that had a nice mix of chewiness and burnt crispiness (in a good way, not a bad way). Pretty cheesy, with rich pesto sauce, but we were starving so the non-diet approach was perfect. 
Beer selection was acceptable (I'm a snob) and the waitress was sharp and friendly. We will definitely be back." - MJennings, Columbia, MO

Love It!!!

"Came here with another couple on a Friday night. Had appetizers, drinks, and dinner. Found a great table with a wonderful waitress who treated us well the whole time we were there. The food was fabulous especially the pizza. Drinks were cold and mixed well. The entertainment was fun and we had a fabulous time singing along with the crowd. Loved Cheryl's voice and she's a real sweetie.
It was packed so get there early!" - Wolfgangtaffy, Camdenton, MO

To Go

"Working an event at the lake. Stopped in to get a pizza to go. Fresh from scratch hot and delicious!! Pizza crust is amazing. Staff was very friendly and attentive." - Tim D.

Best Pizza Anywhere

"The pizza is all made from scratch by hand. Rick will hand toss your pizza dough right behind the counter. All the ingredients are fresh or local homemade like the sausage. These pizzas are superloaded with ingredients and cooked to perfection. In the brick pizza oven. Try the JordanMeister or Cheryl Doormman, my favorites. And many craft beers and the Calzones are always great too." - Carl B. Edwardsville, IL

Best Pizza By Far!!!

This very quaint restaurant provides the best pizza at The Lake! Rick is the chef providing the most unique, delicious custom pizzas. I suggest you sit near the cook station for a performance that will be unforgettable! Try the Carole with anchovies!!!!!!!" - Al P P, Osage Beach, MO

3 Reasons to Reserve Casagrotto this Month!

The holidays are approaching, and if you've been thinking about hosting a party, NOW is the time to get it scheduled! Casablanca is a great place to host friends, family, and co-workers for a great evening out on the Bagnell Dam Strip. So, if you've been thinking about it, and just haven't committed to the idea yet, here are a few reasons you'll want to reserve our facility and get the party started!


Fun Atmosphere

There's just something about the Casagrotto atmosphere that makes for a fun place to hang out. Maybe it's the rich history this building holds, like having original wood floors and walls from trees cut down while Bagnell Dam was being built. Maybe it's all of the wonderful memories that have been cultivated into the place through years and year, and YEARS of fun events with friends. Maybe it's just that the customers we have on a regular basis make the environment perfect. Maybe it's a combination of all of it! No matter what the reason, the Casablanca basement, also known as Casagrotto is the perfect environment for a great party. Of course, we think it's probably because the basement used to be a speakeasy *wink*.

GREAT Food

Have you had the best pizza at the Lake of the Ozarks yet? If you, you HAVE to host your holiday party with us and try it for yourself! Our chefs are excellent and they know how to fix quite the pizza pie. Aside from pizza, we have plenty of other menu options that are incredibly mouthwatering. If you've never tried any of our Lake of the Ozarks food, you ought to come by sometime to try it and find out for yourself. If the thought of our pizza doesn't get you to host a party here, maybe our beer will ...


Ice Cold Beer

At Casagrotto we take our beer very seriously. We have over 15 craft beers on tap. These kegs of beer are kept at 28 degrees and then pumped through our glycol system which brings these flavors to your frosted glass at 24 degrees. You'll love our line up of beer with our rainbow Casagrotto sign above them, too. Our bar is always a happy place to be, and that's not just because of the people that share the bar stool next to you, but because of the high-quality beer at the Lake of the Ozarks, that's served up.


The Party Place at the Lake of the Ozarks

If you're interested in booking CasaGrotto for a holiday party, you need to get your date saved NOW. We only take reservations on Monday through Wednesday in December, so keep that in mind as you finish planning your party details as well. It's going to be a very merry season, and we would love to see YOU this month! Whether you rent out the basement or come in with some friends for a beer. Stop by your Lake of the Ozarks bar for some holiday cheer!

Raise Your Glass to Drink Beer Day

Did you know that September 28th is Drink Beer Day? There's no other day we can get behind as strongly as this one, so we're going to take a few moments to give it the honor it deserves. Beer is a wonderful beverage with a few great benefits as well! If you didn't know why you should drink beer - here are a few reasons - along with the incredible craft beers at the Lake of the Ozarks that we have on tap.


DID YOU KNOW?

Beer is rich in B vitamins, which comes from all of the yeast. Unfiltered beer is high in B3, B6, and folic acid (B9). B3 can help aid in cell repair and B6 eases PMS. Folic acid can also assist in colon cancer prevention. Who knew all of this good stuff was packed in your pint??

Beer is also high in fiber - and we all know what that will do for you *wink*. It also slows the rate at which food leaves your stomach, which means that it can suppress your appetite. This should provide peace of mind, that when you indulge in a beer, you are helping to prevent overeating.

Did you know that a beer a day can keep the stress and heart attacks away? You may not actually hear this from your doctor, but moderate alcohol consumption can reduce stress and anxiety, which are known contributors to heart disease.

Beer drinkers actually have a lower risk of type-2 diabetes according to multiple studies. In fact, approximately 30% lower than the test subjects who abstained.

Moderate beer consumption is actually good for bone density according to research done at Tufts University. They found a positive link between beer or wine consumption and hip-bone density. Heavy drinking, however, led to bone loss - so just enjoy your beer in moderation.

The Best Beer at the Lake of the Ozarks

At Casagrotto we take our beer very seriously. We have over 15 craft beers on tap. These kegs of beer are kept at 28 degrees and then pumped through our glycol system which brings these flavors to your frosted glass at 24 degrees.
  • Bud Light
  • Stella Artois
  • Shock Top Belgian White
  • Avalanche Ale
  • Logboat Lookout APA
  • Logboat Bear 
  • Bur Oak Lily Ale
  • Bourbon Barrel Goodwood
  • Harp Lager
  • Goose Island IPA
  • Boulevard Tank 
  • Miller Lite
  • Lefthand Nitro Milk Stout 
  • Magners Irish Cider
  • Boulevard Wheat
  • Blue Moon Belgian White
  • Modelo Especial
  • Coors Light 
  • Leinenkugel Summer Shandy
  • Budweiser

Casablanca is one of the Lake's oldest restaurants, so when you want good food, great beer, and a fun atmosphere, you can come out to Casablanca at the Lake. There's only one way to really celebrate Drink Beer Day, so we hope to see you out here for this momentous occasion.

Burger Day at the Best Lake Bar & Grill

If you love sitting down to a huge, juicy burger after a long day with an ice cold beer - we’re right there with you! Casablanca serves up the best bar food at the Lake of the Ozarks, and part of that includes the best burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks. If you need a place to come and get ready for the Labor Day Weekend, come out to Casablanca for Burger Day on August 31st! Here is a preview of our burger menu to get your taste buds watering.


The Best Burgers at the Lake of the Ozarks

Our burgers are made with fresh ½ pound choice ground sirloin, served on local bakery grilled buns. They’re topped with lettuce, tomato, and sweet red onion, plus the variety of delicious ingredients described below, and they come with a side item and a dill pickle spear.
(Sides: French fries, homemade pasta salad, potato salad, or slaw)

Schwab Burger
Basically your standard burger in all its sirloin glory, simply topped with lettuce, tomato, and sweet red onion.

Blue 'Shroom Burger
Topped with our thick blue cheese spread, sautéed mushrooms, and bacon.

Black 'N' Spicy Burger
Covered in Cajun spices, blackened and topped with roasted red pepper and pepper jack cheese.

Tex Melt
Topped with cheddar cheese, BBQ sauce, and crispy onion rings. Served on Texas Toast.

Casa Burger
Topped with cheddar cheese, bacon, and a seasoned egg over easy.

Smokin' Pastrami Burger
Topped with Swiss cheese and house smoked pastrami then finished off with onion straws and basil horseradish aioli sauce.


DID YOU KNOW?


Hamburgers got their name from Hamburg, Germany, and more specifically from a cut of beef called the Hamburg Steak. 

Americans supposedly consume 13 billion hamburgers a year, which is enough to circle the earth 32 times - and we’d believe it! This is one very popular choice! 

The Hamburger Hall of Fame is located in Seymour, WI. We wonder if they offer samples … if so, we’re up for a road trip!

Gettin’ Hungry?

Casablanca is the best place to come when you just want to hang out. We’re a comfortable bar and grill at the Lake of the Ozarks with a long history in the Lake area. Our restaurant was built back in the 20’s and has been a restaurant almost that long (it started as the first Lake Ozark Post Office!). While our restaurant may not be as old as the hamburger - we still provide the best ones around! Some come out on August 31st to celebrate Burger Day. Find a nice spot on one of our patio stools, watch the Bagnell Dam Strip buzz with activity, drink a cold beer, enjoy a juicy burger and enjoy an evening at the best restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks. We look forward to seeing you!

Fun on the Bagnell Dam Strip!

If you haven't heard, this entire week is dedicated to the Shootout at the Lake of the Ozarks and we couldn't be more proud of such an incredible event. If you've never participated in this fun event, we would love to introduce you to all of the fun events that are happening surrounding it - including a party at Casablanca with special live music!

Photo Credit: Shootout

Shootout History

The Lake Rescue Shootout started in 1988 as an event in which many local boats participated simply to establish who had the fastest boat. As the years went by it became a bigger and bigger event that also helped supplement the Lake Area Fire Departments water rescue efforts.

NOW, the Shootout is the largest unsanctioned boat race in the US and named one of the nation’s eight “must-see” boating events according to Powerboat Magazine. The Shootout will take place for the ninth year at Captain Ron’s Bar & Grill in Sunrise Beach (Lake Road 5-50, mile marker 34.5). The event raises funds for eight Lake-area rescue teams and numerous other charitable organizations; last year, $195,000.00 to 34 different Charities and Fire Departments. The Shootout is alive and well and looking forward to the 29th year in August of 2017.

Hang Out on the Bagnell Dam Strip

While the Shootout takes place on the water, you can get out and participate in the Meet and Greet on the Strip TONIGHT, Wednesday 23rd from 5 to 10 PM. This is a fun chance to meet the drivers of the boats, take photos with your favorites, and see how COOL these boats really are up close and personal. Not to mention, it's fun to hang out on the Bagnell Dam Strip with all of the other people to enjoy this event. Of course ... let's not forget that your favorite restaurant at the Lake of the Ozarks is located on the Bagnell Dam Strip as well!

We are so excited to serve you tonight with the best dinner at the Lake of the Ozarks. PLUS, we have two ways you can enjoy it! You can come into our restaurant on the Bagnell Dam Strip, sit down, and enjoy an amazing meal with your friends and family. OR, you can always order your favorite bar food at the Lake of the Ozarks online! Visit www.CasaOnTheRun.com to place your order for your favorite food, and we'll have it ready for you in a jiffy.
