Lazy Dog Restaurant & Bar, the casual dining restaurant known for its handcrafted American food and drink, is expanding its southern California footprint with the addition of two new restaurants in Corona and Montclair. The new restaurants will be located in the Corona Hills Plaza retail center at 380 McKinley Street, Corona, and Montclair Place, 6050 East Montclair Plaza Lane in Montclair.

Lazy Dog’s menu focuses on comfort food with a twist that highlights seasonal ingredients, handcrafted cocktails and a wide selection of craft beers. Inspired by the lifestyle of the Rocky Mountains where founder Chris Simms spent time with family growing up, Lazy Dog offers the perfect environment for a quick weeknight dinner, a meandering meal with old friends or a big night out.

“We’re thrilled to join the growing and vibrant communities of Corona and Montclair. We’ve received such a warm welcome already and are so excited to share our small-town hospitality and handcrafted food and drink early next year,” says Chris Simms.

The menu features seasonally inspired dishes and a variety of favorites with a Lazy Dog flair. Lazy Dog’s seasonal offerings include new small plates such as Crispy Deviled Eggs and Roasted Winter Vegetables, entrees such as Spaghetti Squash and Beetballs, a vegetarian take on the classic, Bone-in Apple-Sage Pork Chops, BBQ Bison Meatloaf and desserts including a Seven-Layer Chocolate Cake and Apple-Huckleberry Open Face Pie, all made in house from scratch. To complement the food, Lazy Dog’s bar features a variety of handcrafted cocktails including a new Meyer Lemon Margarita made with small-batch Lunazul tequila and beers like the Huckleberry Haze IPA.

Designed to feel like a Rocky Mountain Wyoming escape, Lazy Dog’s warm interior will be complete with lodge-inspired furnishings such as cozy fireplaces, ledge stone, a chandelier crafted from Aspen logs, and artwork reminiscent of the Cowboy State. Multiple flat-screen TVs will be installed throughout the bar and patio areas so that guests may cheer on their favorite sports teams, and a dog-friendly patio will offer a special menu for dogs featuring grilled meats and brown rice. Lazy Dog also offers brunch on the weekends, daily happy hour and late-night offerings.

Beer lovers in Corona and Montclair can also join Lazy Dog’s new beer club—created by beer lovers for beer lovers. Each quarter, LD Beer Club members pick up a kit with hard to find craft beers, custom merch, and more. When dining at Lazy Dog, club members also get to take advantage of draft beer upgrades on select beers. Visit Ldbeerclub.com to be in the know.
