6 Best Cocktail Bars near Truckee

“Was in town for a bachelorette party and this bar made it extra awesome, especially for putting up with our “stroke or tap” game.

But serious question, if there is a bush and you only shave one side, it is now two face. Which side is the ugly side: bald or hairy?

Shaylyn (sp?) and Mike were awesome bar tenders! Tell Steve we said hi! Maybe ask him the question, would love his input!

Stay cool! 🤘“

“A must stop when in Truckee!!“

“We enjoyed a great Italian dinners & a fun evening with the Byrne & Trompeter families!“

“Been here several times. Staff is nice and service is mostly good but main complaint is that they can't get their reservation timing right. Out of the 5 times I've been here with reservation, 3 of those seated us at least 20 min after our reservation. I like the restaurant but please fix your reservation system. Update: Liz the manager did an amazing job at service recovery. She came and personally apologized and let us know that they are training new staff, plus they are getting another check-in ipad which will help speed up the check-in process during busy times. She offered to take some items off our bill. I'm happy to see that they take customer service seriously.“

“Hands down best Mexican restaurant I've ever eaten at. I'm always disappointed when I go to Mexican places, I don't know why. I can't remember the name of what I got, but I remember it was a burrito and it had the word Red in the name.“

“Gonzalo truly set the tone for an exceptional experience at the Living Room Lodge (LRL) at The Ritz-Carlton, Lake Tahoe. Warm, friendly, and incredibly attentive, he made us feel genuinely cared for, from start to finish. His hospitality felt effortless and heartfelt — and the heavenly vanilla latte he crafted came with a smile that made it even more special. Gonzalo is a true gem and a shining example of Ritz-Carlton’s world-class service & hospitality.

We were seated in a beautiful spot with stunning views of the Northstar ski slopes on a bright, sunny day. The experience was elevated by sitting behind a subtle tinted glass that softened the harshness of the sun while still letting in all the light and scenery — the perfect balance. Surrounded by towering Sierra Nevada pines, the setting felt serene, cozy, and quintessentially Tahoe.

We started with a vanilla latte that was nothing short of magical — it truly felt like a warm embrace in a cup. Smooth, comforting, and crafted to perfection.

The meat burger was perfectly done — juicy, flavorful, and deeply satisfying. My son absolutely loved the chocolate and strawberry ice cream, which was a delightful treat.

Dessert was the grand finale: the salted caramel lotus with vanilla sponge cake, caramel glaze, and cacao nib streusel was an absolute masterpiece. Each bite delivered a beautiful harmony of textures, flavors & suspense; indulgent yet refined.

An unforgettable experience that blends breathtaking views, outstanding food, and truly genuine hospitality.“
