Venues in South Lake Tahoe, California

Amazing experience here! Nahuel was our host and we did the 3 premium red wine tasting with a charcuterie board. We loved all 3 wines we tasted. The charcuterie board was a fabulous spread and great value for the price!! Honestly one of the best I’ve had. We sat outside by the fire pit and it was so relaxing. Will recommend to my family and friends!

I’ve been to Elevated twice with my husband and both times were amazing! The atmosphere is super cozy and stylish. We did the wine tasting and the premium wine tasting — both were excellent and the staff was very attentive. The big surprise was the food — absolutely delicious! We even got to make classic American s’mores by the fire, which was such a fun and unique touch. Highly recommend!

Such a magical spot!! If you don’t know this spot yet it’s a MUST STOP! Organic, healthy food. Best salads you’ll have. Best sandwiches. Everything is just delicious. You can sit on the balcony and it overlooks the beautiful mountains. Just such a heavenly view 😍

Food was amazing. View was as well. Delicious sandwiches and cold beer. Decent priced as well.

We had a great time at this cool local bar. Brittany is the best. She served great cocktails and was very fun to chat with. Highly recommend for an awesome drink and very neat experience. Love the local nightlife. We will be back.

This is a great place to get sober! Stopped in with my husband for his birthday, we wanted to try something new. We were never once acknowledged and we sat there for 25 minutes and finally decided to leave. No prices on the menu, and the bathroom is off-putting (whats behind that curtain?!). It could be a cool place, but it doesn't seem like they are set up for success.

Loved it here so much I stopped by 2 days in a row while in Tahoe. Fantastic beer selection, great staff and delicious food trucks. If you're a craft beer fan and love a good vibe then this is a must stop.

I like this place, we were looking for woodfire pizza and Get Rad Pizza didn't disappoint. Their wings were perfectly cooked and charred, the best. We also tried the fries at the Mac and Cheese spot and they were so good, fluffy and perfectly salted. The bathrooms were clean and pretty spacious, parking wasn't an issue. Overall a pretty great place to enjoy with family friends and even pets.

Really good place! So delicious food especially bruschetta and grouches, amazing big set with 8 vines . I liked Californian - so good. It’s my first time in California. I was in LA and Sequoia park, Yosemite and this place had the best food. Really good for American hospitality! I know what I am saying, I work there too but in Dubai 😊. So you really have to visit this place . And don’t be sad if you will not be there during sunset. After sunset it’s much better ( for me) . So 7:30 and later - cool time. Fast and friendly service.

We enjoyed wine flights and appetizers while sitting out on the lakeside deck. Great selection of wines and flight combinations. And everything on the appetizer list sounded delicious. The two we chose did not disappoint. So good! I cannot imagine a nicer place in Tahoe to watch a sunset and enjoy good food, good drinks, and an amazing view of the lake. Service was excellent also.

Loved the Elements! The atmosphere was so relaxing and a beautiful view of the lake. If you visit on a sunny day, ask for an outdoor seating, it was very relaxing! Our waitress was Sofia, she was welcoming and kind. The food was great, my favorite was the banana leaf wrapped tamal. Thank you for your service Sofia. :)

Nice lake view and budget-friendly, but food was average. We stopped by Elements Eatery & Bar during our stay at Hotel Azure. A great perk is the 15% discount you get at Elements if you're staying at the hotel. We ordered the Al Pastor Roasted Torta, Monster Fries, and Guacamole. The portions were huge—definitely enough for two people. The outdoor seating is pet-friendly, and the view of South Lake Tahoe is beautiful and relaxing. That said, the food taste was just okay. Nothing bad, but nothing particularly memorable either. Still, if you're traveling on a budget and want a quick bite with a good view, it’s a solid option.

We were so excited that this place would prepare and serve our fresh catch of fish, and they did a great job, however, our food came and our drink order never came, until we reminded another server and also, I personally felt the wait person we had as well as other waitstaff were quite improperly dressed to serve food. Low, low cut top, armpits showing, and short, short skirts, not attractive. The manager was kind enough to comp our drinks, after we were charged for a margarita we never received so, that was cool. Anyway, the food was great.

We love it here! So much that we had our wedding reception at MacDuffs!!! The owners are amazingly accommodating, kind and generous. They set us up with Ayden, who coordinated and managed our event. They went above and beyond to make our vision come to life and then some! I highly, highly, highly recommend stopping by for the delicious, elevated pub fare, incredible beer and drink menus and warm/friendly atmosphere, but would also suggest holding your event here. It was perfect!

This is a pleasant brewpub and restaurant. They have outdoor seating for those perfect summer days and plenty of seating indoors. The burgers were good and the mahi mahi tacos were awesome. They have a great selection of their beers on tap, which were crisp and refreshing. The restaurant is a little pricey, but that’s life in South Lake Tahoe. There was plenty of parking when we stopped in for lunch.

Star ratings. 1 bad. 2 below average. 3 average / neutral. 4 good. 5 excellent. Loved that street corn came as a side for the tacos, great flavor. I wish i saw this more often. The only thing with the food was the Mahi tacos had too much sauce and put down first instead of on top, which caused the tortilla to soak up the sauce and split, making it difficult to eat. Sat outside, which I'd assume is your busiest spot. Thus, you'd put your most experienced servers. Ours was not. Every server has an off day. My wife was a server for nearly 20 years. Ours seemed to be newer and had a hard time keeping up. He'd only visit one table at a time, then go back in vs. stopping at a couple at a time to maximize his efficiency. Most tables just need a quick item. Beer flights come with up to 7 pours on the holder, which is nice. Good beer, better than most "tourist breweries". Limited outdoor seating. Larger groups could sit inside.

You looking for delicious fresh food? Good service ? This is your place !! Most amazing place came with family , waitress was friendly and good customer service! Definitely recommend!

Food was great. Not the biggest fan of blue cheese but the blue cheese chicken burger was really good. Only problem is it took over an hour for our food to come out and some of it was missing. Cool atmosphere, like 8 pool tables, not much seating. Plus it’s one of the only cheap places to eat in Tahoe so that earned another star from me.

My mom and I were out on an adventure and ended up in South Lake Tahoe looking for dinner and beer when we stumbled across this place. Walking in, it felt like home. Heather was a wonderful server and made us feel like family! And the whole place had a fun vibe. Live music was great, food was delicious, and now I have a new favorite spot! Can't wait to come up again and bring friends!

This bar & grill feels like a place where the locals hang out. We were there on a Tuesday night when they had live music, and the place was packed outside. We ate inside and the tacos were great. They have a few good craft beers on tap and the atmosphere was nice and chill.

We travelled from Iowa to visit South Lake Tahoe for our 10 year wedding anniversary. We brought our kiddos along & wanted to find some family friendly activities . Tipsy Putt South Lake Tahoe location did not disappoint! Fun family friendly atmosphere & Great service - adults and kiddos both enjoyed our visit ! The manager was great, highly recommend !

I had such a great experience at Tipsy Putt thanks to Ben and Riley! The service was genuinely friendly and welcoming. They had great recommendations, made us feel taken care of the whole time, and brought such good energy to the bar. It really elevated the whole night and made our visit so much more fun. Definitely one of the best bartenders I’ve had in a while—will absolutely be back!

Went here for a bachelor party. The employees were no less than superb and we met the owner and he made us feel at home all the way from KC. I would recommend anyone looking for something to do to visit The Turn.

The owner was so friendly and nice. Gave us free shots for a bachelor party. A great dive bar for the area. 🙏

Please read!! Ignore the value for money, as everywhere you go now is expensive to an extent. This place had it all, the server was fantastic and was very knowledgeable and bias (but a good bias with the food) as he was right about how good the food was. The drinks were great! With a couple of cocktails, some wine and a beer! Now, the food! Wow! Tapas style isn’t normally mine and my wife’s go to, but the food was out of this world. Stand outs were the Filet Mignon, Gnocchi, and the pork cheek! Absolutely incredible! We thought we were finished until the dessert menu came, we were stuck between the bread and butter pudding and the special for the day. We were swayed to the bread and butter pudding, and honestly it’s the best dessert we’ve had out!! So good we ordered another one hahah! Honestly a great experience! Thank you again! I even got to speak with the chef’s to tell them how good everything was, and they really appreciated it! Great place 😊

What a delicious and wonderful first experience we had. Wife and I went in for Early Dinner on Happy Hour and just happened that the GM, Alex was behind Bar, she used to manage Bar but is GM now and she was filling in. Not only was she super sweet and easy talk to, she knew everything, inside out and understood cooking really well. I har Aribta Root Beer which was delicious and my wife had Mimosas with Wycliff Bubbly and she loved it. We did a laundry list of Tapas and some desert, everything we had was just beautiful and delicious, can't beat the $5 Happy Hour. We had Calamari with a Spicy Chipolte, BBQ Chicken Skewers were excellent, then Duck Tacos (not HH, but really worth it) that were fantastic with a little Chipolte and Tamarind - WoW. We tried the Tomato Bisque which was very farm to table and fresh and we wanted some crustini so they grilled us 4 pieces, so fun. We finished with Sweet & Spicy Shrimp that were just beautiful, very fresh and perfectly sauteed, so tasty. We rarely do Desert, but my wife asked Alex what was the best thing and Alex proceeded to describe their Bread Pudding with a fresh Bluberry Compote and drizzled White Chocolate. It sounded so good and interesting, so I asked if they had Ice Cream, they did and of course it was home made Vanilla, perfect, sold. It was really as delicious, fresh and light as all described. Just a super fun culinary and personal experience. Thank you Alex and Team. Erick & Sharon Nielsen

Found this spot on the way in to town. I ordered the shrimp scampi and a side salad. Thoroughly enjoyed my meal! My friend ordered the barbeque chicken with a baked potato & slaw, she was pleased with her food as well. Great service & great food. We will definitely be back! Next time we'll get a drink, full bar.

This is one of those Hole in the Wall Treasures you find in South Lake Tahoe!! The food is amazing and the Service is GREAT!! Jorge was our server and I have to say he want above and beyond for us! We really loved all the Tempura Appetizers 😋 we couldn't decide so we got a variety of them all! I highly recommend the Mediterranean Pasta, it was so delicious and lots of Seafood on it, a creamy tasty sauce, Very filling dish. They had both America food so if you want a good steak or burger & fries or An Italian dish the menu has a good variety. This is a place we will definitely be going back to when in South lake Tahoe!!

Dropped by on Wednesday night to see some karaoke. I saw gnarly beards, trucker hats, hippies with dogs, hilariously bad singing. Nice big patio. Best place Ive been to experience authentic raw local scene.

This place is exactly what a dive bar should be—cheap drinks, good vibes, and no nonsense. The bartenders are amazing, and the crowd is a mix of locals and laid-back regulars. Just a solid spot to drink and enjoy the day.

We enjoyed our meals very much, everything came out hot and fresh with flavor. We had excellent service as well! Happy hour drinks are about $8/piece average. Wish the bushes were cut lower so you had a lake view. But overall, this would have been 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive ($100 for 2 entrées and 4 happy hour drinks plus tip).

Had a lovely pre-Valentine’s dinner at Bear Moon Bar & Grill. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a quiet, intimate evening. Food was good with great service, beautiful setting, and just the right vibe for a special night. Would definitely go back!

Nice rustic outdoor space that is family friendly. Food tasted great. I ordered the Backcountry Bahn Mi. It was good but I’d say it’s more like a great pork sandwich with Bahn Mi fixens.

Stopped here for breakfast before leaving South lake Tahoe with my family and dog. Most of us ordered breakfast, it was very delicious. We sat outside in the patio area on picnic style benches while a trio played live music. It was a relaxing vibe that was definitely appreciated before the trek home. I would definitely stop here again with my dog during one of my vacation days in the future to enjoy the food and live music again.

True lake front hangouts for food and drinks are somewhat rare around the lake. Many offer a "view" but nothing beats being up close with a sandy beach. For South Lake Tahoe, The Grove is it. We didn't try the food but the items we saw looked decent. Instead we sat enjoying the amazing weather, views and a few cocktails. The drinks were well poured but a tad on the pricey side. Consider it paying for the view. Our service was great to top it off. We closed our tab once only to reopen it as we were enjoying the day too much to leave. There is plenty of parking with a fee to enter Camp Richardson where The Grove is located.

We came in on a hot and busy Sunday afternoon. We were told it would be 1.5 hour wait and it turned out to be 30 min. The staff was super attentive in trying to find us some shade as we sat outside. Once we were able to get some shade, the service and food were spot on. Love music added to the atmosphere but the shade covers at the beach blocked some of the view. We had pretzel bites, burrata salad, fish and chips, salad, and shrimp tacos. Not to mention the Rum Runners. All were fantastic. I cannot say enough for the service from the host to servers, 5 stars

Hidden gem! Will definitely come back to The Cocktail Corner. Friendly staff, food amazing. Live band was relaxing. Indoor and out door seating. Full bar & great menu options.

This is such a great spot! The music is so good! Cocktails are delicious and unique, and food was delish! Please go here- you won’t be disappointed. I think of all the locations we’ve been in South Lake Tahoe, this is the best!

Been here a few times servers are usually on top of their game and friendly. Place gets busy but they have a lot of seating. Sometimes they have bands. The food is really good and they have a wide variety of beer choices. Definitely try anything that has their beer cheese. Awesome location…

Amazing atmosphere. Pretzel stixs came recommended, the cheese is amazing but pretzels were almost burnt. My gf wanted a Caesar salad, it was decent, my chat gpt recommended the butcher pizza, and he’s now fired. Literally tastes like a Safeway take home bake yourself pizza. Not horrible but for $25 I’ll pass. But the service is good and the atmosphere is awesome we had some old guys who sing amazing super fun to see for that alone it’s worth the Safeway pizza 😂 over priced food tho for sure for the quality

This is one of the best spots in the area! Great beer selection on tap. Food is decent, staff was on point. Eric was our bartender, he kept us laughing the whole time and recommended some good brew. Will definitely be back next time I’m in the area. Cheers!

I have been here a few times. Today I had the chicken sandwich. It was amazing. I eat a lot so a good chicken sandwich is much appreciated. The staff is great and if you like sports its definitely a great place to watch the 49er's. Thanks Devon for being an awesome bartender! 👌
