About Cold Water Brewery and Grill

Cold Water Brewery and Grill is a charming spot for lunch or dinner, known for its welcoming atmosphere and attentive staff. The owner is often seen checking on guests, ensuring a personalized experience. The menu offers delicious options, including the popular fish tacos served with a tasty elote corn dip and chips. Customers have praised the variety of menu items, stating there is something for everyone. The restaurant is also dog-friendly, featuring a cozy patio area with heaters and a fire pit.

The food here is very good, with the Mediterranean bowl including falafel on top and hamburgers that are also highly recommended. Prices are a little on the high side, but that is normal considering this is a tourist area. Service is excellent, with staff members being kind, friendly, and having great personalities. One server was especially friendly and informative, making the experience even better. Many customers enjoy the atmosphere, with some listening to great tunes while being served.

For beverages, the beer flight has delighted many, showcasing flavors from the Holla Back Heff to the Oktoberfest and the Mexican Chocolate Stout. The IPA that was sampled was the best of a trip that included several breweries, breaking the trend of all beers being just okay with a prevalent bitterness. The elote dip (corn dip for the gringos) pairs well with drinks and has been described as delicious. Customers often sit outside on the patio to enjoy the killer weather, and many agree that the spot would be even better with a lake view. However, there is plenty of free parking, making it a convenient addition to any brewery tour in Lake Tahoe.

Desserts like the s'mores, chocolate cheesecake, and key lime pie provide a perfect end to a meal. Overall, Cold Water Brewery and Grill is recognized for its great food, exceptional service, and family-friendly atmosphere, making it a must-visit spot in South Lake Tahoe.

Food is very good. Service was great - Nicole D is charming and efficient! We will be back (again)!

Fish and Chips were the best. We split a plate and still had leftovers!

Had an amazing experience dining here on our first night in Tahoe. Our entrees were great (rock shrimp tacos & prawn linguine) as were the cocktails (lemon impearment was absolutely amazing) and drafts.
I also was thankful they accommodated to my lettuce allergy & made us a Cobb salad with kale (not all restaurants will do so!)
Austin was an amazing server and had great recommendations & introduced us to some great drink combos. We were well taken care of & thoroughly...read full review
