9 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!“

“I got some bread to start and marinara polpetta with a spicy margarita and I was so blown away! I had heard good things about this place! But going for dinner and enjoying your meal there inside is the move! Such a nice spot with a casual flair. Will be returning!“

“Austinite Approved!
Some of the best Tex-Mex we have had since leaving Austin. Beef fajitas were spot-on with flour or corn tortillas. Chimichanga and enchiladas both met full approval. They have 3 salsas available, good chips and margaritas. Our daughter lives in Incline and plans to return, worth the drive.
They were busy while we there so service was slightly slow. Not bad, but 4 stars in an honest review. Staff was very friendly and did a great job, just busy.
Atmosphere is 5 star for the price point, neat one-off place. Clean.“

“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.“

“First timers. We found this place in Yelp and open table. Def worth the visit.

We had steaks, Alpine mac and cheese, elk meat balls and gnocchi plus mushrooms, asparagus, and first plates of corn bread and tuna sashimi.

All the food was amazing and the staff was very friendly.

We enjoyed the entire experience.“

“Fresh Tex- Mex. Chips salsa a guacamole a must!“

“We picked Six Peaks Grille for our anniversary dinner and had an incredible experience. The staff were friendly and attentive and went out of their way to make our evening special. The food was outstanding and came out quickly, and sitting on the patio made for a perfect setting. We had a lovely sunset, a nearby firepit, and an adjacent waterfall feature that provided peaceful ambient sound. For food, we especially enjoyed the Filet and Wagyu Tri-Tip. Each was some of the best we've ever had - tender, flavorful, and charred to perfection. The sides were also great and the desserts are worth making room for (we tried both the house made Tiramisu and Sorbet)! Thank you John, Cindy, and team - we will definitely be back!“
