Server stole my change. Food was diabolical. Management hostile. Literally no reason to go here other than line the pockets of the least deserving people

Best bar but very high prices especially for what they are serving. Our friends wanted to take us as we had never been and they wanted us to take the duck fart shot off the ski. It was fun but I had to tell the bartender how to make the shot which is a little wierd bc I was told it's their specialty shot? The fire pit outback was very very nice but the vibe was not great and the security is questionable. We heard one of them telling someone he loved to fight, security should always try to calm down any issues not work people up more. We did get a receipt and it's pretty shocking they would charge $13 per shot for a shot made with Jameson, baileys and Kaluah.

Extremely rude bartender. I asked for a very specific beverage and he poured me something different. He then proceeded to tell my family I was rude to him for requesting something specific. Lost out on my money. Had to give my beverage to a stranger, as I have sensitivity to certain drinks and cannot stray from what I know is safe for me and the bartender refused to give my money back or pour what I requested.

You’re better off going to Murray’s Saloon. Better service kinder people

I was at Whiskey Dave's the other night playing pool with friends minding my own business being calm and respectful as can be. After a few hours of being there Dave the owner called in to his bartender and told him to kick me out. I was doing nothing wrong to deserve being treated like this. The bartender, who is a friend, says Dave wants you out I have no idea why. Dave was at the bar earlier, made eye contact with me, but had nothing to say to me then. I guess he was too coward to tell me to my face why he wanted me gone. I've never done a thing to this person to deserve such cruelty. If you want overpriced drinks that supports a horrible person feel free to come in, but Murray's and the AV are way better options. Avoid this place like the plague.

This place is a complete joke. I hope the owner reads this review. It was Saturday night, we went around 8:30 PM and ordered two draft beers and a simple cocktail. The server - a big, chubby guy with a strange beard - charged us $40 without even entering the order into the computer (probably hiding it from the owner). This same server overcharged us the night before as well. I know because he charged us $24 for two drinks, while just 15 minutes earlier, another server charged us $20 for the exact same round.
On weekends, they only accept cash payments, with no receipts and no drink menus provided, so they can essentially charge whatever they want. To top it off, the food was terrible - way too salty. We will definitely never go back. There are much better bars in Big Bear, like Murray's Saloon & Eatery.
I mean we had a lot of fun here. We just came for drinks and dancing and the music was great, playing pool was fun. Its like the only place open late in big bear lol.

We went there with some friends and the waiters with blond and long hair stealed the jackets of my friend. That’s a shame. And the bar is cash only with no receipt, the only ATM in the bar has a $5 fee. DO NOT GO

We stopped tonight to have dinner only to find out the kitchen had closed at least 1.5 hours before normal closing time. According to the bartender, it was a slow night, so the cook went home. Not starting out well and this place is so dark inside. We then decided to maybe have a drink before going to another restaurant and after a quick look at the prices, we headed out the door. Serious, that much for a glass of beer, now we know why there was only one person at the bar and a group of four playing pool. This place is a good size and to have no one there, even on a Wednesday night, was pretty revealing to say the least. There is free parking in front of the bar and more at the back of the business. The bar has a dance floor and pool tables, and we heard they have music on the weekend. We should note that the bartender was very polite and apologized that the kitchen had closed early. Well at least we know on our next trip to Big Bear Lake we will not be dining or drinking here.

We stopped for a quick lunch and the food was outstanding. We sat outside and got the sliders and pork taquitos. The service was good but it's not full service. It seems like it would be but it's not. You order at the bar and get a buzzer for when your food is ready. I didn't love the signs to clean up your own mess. I understand it's not full service but that doesn't mean I'm an employee responsible for keeping it clean. I also overheard two bar patrons discussing how they were both carrying firearms. I give five stars because we had a great time and it's a fantastic patio but there are negatives. Oh, it's cash only too.

Don't have really much bad to say about this place. But then again I don't have much good to say. Had to go through the security check on the way in. Hey, this is Big Bear, is there problems here? We went in just for drinks and only had one because of the super high prices! I've been to bars in major big cities that charged less. This is a big bar with pool tables and a huge outdoor patio in back. There are several corn-hole games setup for you to play. So all in all, we were not impressed and will not be going back anytime soon.
