No real liquor license (No drinks outside of canned beer and low percentage alcohol). No website for bar outside of Facebook. Information about the "bar" hours and noise intensity are not accurate on AirBnB listings nor google maps on Android devices and are not mentioned anywhere else. On the AirBnB it says "there will be music playing until 10 PM most summer nights" Not only is it winter, but it is currently almost 1 AM and music is still vibrating the residence. For those staying at the Lava Hillside Suites, beware drunk people may attempt to enter the upper rooms. The doors need to be pushed against the weather stripping for the deadbolt to actually lock which we learned after someone barged into our room unnannounced and without a shred of a sound beside the door opening and shades parting. No managers are on staff to handle emergencies and the owner seemingly cannot be contacted while the bar is operating later in the evening. And the sweet bartender could not do a thing to handle the situation and the situation has yet to be resolved. No edits will be made to this review besides spelling mistakes to ensure accuracy and establishment integrity at the time it was submitted.

I'm sure thins place is poppin in the summer, but when my wife and I visited on Thanksgiving night it felt like getting together with your cousins and having a beer. The locals were incredibly friendly and the bartender/GM Cody was attentive, conversational, and had a great vibe. There was a local drunk making a mild scene and Cody handled it with grace and humor. Then he shared some of the local spots to soak away from the crowd. He told us the he found one of his favorite holes and fell asleep in it for a half an hour. Lol, he was a very chill dude.
Advice to everyone visiting Lava Hot Springs. The locals live here because they are passionate about the lifestyle. They soak everyday and are very chill people. The pace of life is a bit slower, so be patient and follow their lead.

Park and hike up stairs!, or park up top adjacent to other entry.

Went up for a drink after going to the hot springs pretty early in the day. Business hadn’t really started yet but the bartender I believe his name was Cody was AWESOME! He had all the tea on the town and was super friendly. Guy should be the dang mayor he made us want to move to the town by how well he sold it lol 10/10 recommend going for that guy alone and it’s veteran owned which we love!

Visited in the off season. Enjoyed the views but they need a liquor license.

Horrible prices on cocktails. $9.00 for a can of Gin and Tonic in a can no less. That's why nobody was there when I was. "DON'T GO THERE" 3 bucks for the same real well drink at the Wagonwheel Saloon GO THERE INSTEAD.

This is our 5th time reserving a suite! Always clean and tidy! The rooms are great! Open floor plan, large restroom, full size fridge. Plenty of space for relaxing outside on the deck and inside the room. These suits are located beneath the rooftop bar so it's not the ideal place for a quiet gateway! But a great place to meet new people! The location is right in the center of town, so it's perfect! We enjoyed a three day weekend with our young adult children, grandkids and pets! Cody the owner is a real sweet guy and the staff is amazing!

Beautiful views and super friendly bar staff (Greg!). The karaoke seemed to be a miss, the dj wasn't even interested, but this bar overall has a great vibe.

Premixed drinks from a can and tap beers only for now. Amazing views of the whole city. The bar has little glass garage doors that he rolls up during the day so you can enjoy the breeze, but there's another rooftop level you can bring your drinks up to as well. There's bunkbed units underneath the bar you can rent out for the weekend; it's within 5min walking distance to the hot springs pools.

Been working out here for 2 months now. It's a cool view and they actually jam here. But it's always dead no one really parties here. They don't serve liquor bummer due to no license.... not a big selection of beer but it will get the job done. And if im being honest summer just started I can't speak on how it will be during summer. Everyone says it's crazy ig we'll see. Other than that staff has been cool the times I've been here. Hope this helps

Food menu was pretty much nonexistent and the bar snacks were not good like we were hoping. Water was gross. Strictly a drinking establishment, but the view was amazing. You can access the roof without going to the bar.
