Gastropubs in Tahoe City

“Beautiful lakeside location with a nice big dog friendly patio, good draft beers brewed on-site and good pizza. The deep-dish pizza tasted better than it looked. We almost sent it back because the top and crust were pretty blackened, but I hate sending food back, so we persevered and it was better than expected. Not great, but not bad. It was $38 for a borderline burnt/mediocre medium pizza with 6 slices. My boyfriend and I each had 2 slices and 2 beers and were full. The pizza made for good leftovers as well. I enjoyed the two different draft beers I had; the amber type lager (can't recall the name) and a seasonal beer. The service in the bar area high tops was ok. Water is self-serve. They are on par with other local breweries and were very nice but nothing outstanding. Overall, a cool new-ish spot for a beer and an excellent view.“

“If you're not coming to Tahoe Taphouse for Kevin, you're missing half the experience. The guy is genuinely one of the funniest people behind a bar — always has a joke ready, always lands it, and somehow makes you feel like a regular from the first visit. He's as kind as he is hilarious, which is saying a lot.

But the Taphouse earns its keep beyond great company. Cold, delicious beer on tap, solid food, and the perfect spot to catch a game. We keep coming back and it never disappoints.

On the food side - don't sleep on the Mary's Chicken. Mary's is an incredible brand, and Tahoe Taphouse does it justice. The chicken wings especially are fantastic. Crispy, flavorful, the kind of wings you think about on the drive home.

Honestly, it's the full package: great beer, great food, games on the TV, and Kevin holding it all together. See you there.“

“This restaurant is fantastic! Lukas was one of the best servers I have come across. They have unique and flavorful twists on traditional Scandinavian dishes. And the manager Jeff sources local foods. The ahi appetizer in cones was a recommendation from Jeff and did not disappoint. Our Schnitzel was fabulous and so was the elk pot pie. It was quiet at the time we happened to be there so we got to chat a bit. We learned that the owner’s daughter is the pastry chef so we had to try the cheesecake. Also delicious. It was just a great dining experience.“
