13 Best Bars in Big Bear Lake

“You walk in, looks like a good old dive bar until you order your food. This place has the best burgers for the price, the calamari’s were fresh and tender. The jalapeño burger was huge and the meat was great AND COOKED TO PERFECTION. By far some of the best food I’ve had at a bar. Get there early because at lunch it fills up fast with the locals.“

“Great staff! Unfortunately, next weekend is the end😢“

“Great service. The patio was great. Amazing anti pasta salad. Best wings we’ve had!!! Crispy and tasty!!! The pizza was yummy!“

“One of the best chicken sandwiches I've had in a long time. I was skeptical about door dashing a cocktail but I was SO surprised when it came in a mason jar. Honey mustard was so tasty I used on my sandwich instead of the pickles. The pickles were good but a bit breaded for my taste. Regardless, this was the perfect pick for BB for my first night.“

“Classic bar. The decor is great, with lots of hardwood and a fireplace. Bartenders are skilled and friendly. Whiskey selection is extensive. Only 4 beer taps, but they're thoughtfully curated to provide a variety of good, mostly local beers.“

“What a groovy little spot! We stopped in after a ride at the ranch and enjoyed ourselves here. A lot of really kooky cool eye candy on the walls and everywhere. Cozy and small. Outdoor patio if it’s not too cold. Heidi and Chuck are the greatest! Very friendly and helpful and made our visit extra special. BJ’s has been around so long I find that fabulous!

I started with a glass of red and moved onto a rolling rock and they’ve got very decent prices. I had the Rueben sandwich and the sauce on. It was just lovely! It was cooked nicely and came out very hot which was great! My only complaint is there wasn’t nearly enough meat in it. I tasted mostly bread but with a little more meat that would’ve been perfection. The coleslaw has a nice twist instead of mayo. They use balsamic vinegar! Tart but lovely! Will definitely be back!“

“Great staff Tyler and Anna make it feel like “Cheers”. Our every weekend ski break. -needs purse hooks“

“Whenever we go skiing, we always have lunch here. The only issue is that drinks are served on the upper level and food on the lower level, which makes it uncomfortable to move between the two floors in ski boots. Another great thing is a very warm room where you can sit if you don’t want to be outside and take off your hat and gloves . The bartender is very professional and can make any drink you want. It’s really nice to take a break from skiing and enjoy a delicious drink. However, the food often gets cold by the time you start eating it“

“Great service, second to none. Awesome food at good price. Cold beer, too many to choose from. Will come back again.“

“great people super fun lol“

“Food, drinks and service were all great!!“

“Second time my wife and I have eaten here and the place has been a solid choice. Good food, reasonable prices, and great views of the lake. The beautiful drive to Big Bear Lake is an added plus!“

“The bartender tonight was awesome! She was very helpful and funny. She made great recommendations on food and made my wife some amazing cosmos, highly recommend“
