5 Best Bars near Grottoes

“Staying at the Massanutten Resort nearby, we came to see the Grand Caverns and wanted to eat beforehand. We found Lil Gus"s, it was perfect. We like to go to small businesses when we are in the areas around Massanutten. The food was delicious, we were greeted before even entering the restaurant. It's small but perfect for a local spot. It was exactly what we were looking for. Service is fantastic. Make sure you check them out when in the area.

Parking: Compact cars up front, SUV and bigger I think on the sides. I also suggest the tater tots and the BLT. It was perfect.“

“I was sitting at the bar getting along with everyone, some guy come up told me that I couldn't have my pet there.. I explained to them she is a service animal I instructed them to go look it up on the Ada website. At this point the bartender told me I was cut off and I asked was it because of my service animal and he said yes.. I went looked up the owner and asked him why I was being denied service, is it because of my service dog? he said yes.. I called the local police and the state police to come out to get a report and both declined.. does any know a lawyer in this Town that wants to explain this to them?“

“Nice location. I love that they moved an old train depot and repurposed it. It looks really nice. Has two large markers placed on it that describe a little about the original depot. Inside there are a couple of photos of what it looked like before the move. I wish there were some more of the project " in progress". Has a few things for sale on display that you can look at while you're waiting. They serve 4 wines and 4 beers on tap. A flight is a little pricey for this area at around $14 for four (4oz?) pours. They also have three slushies available (one is non-alcoholic). Seating is mostly outside where there are tables with umbrellas.“

“During the summer, they have lots of different entertainment shows that are great for kids (and adults too). Also went for the July 4th jam fest, which was pretty cool. Long lines for vendors and food trucks then ended with a fireworks show on top of the mountain.“

“Base camp was fun. We went there and listened to a band a couple of nights and got dessert. The atmosphere was delightful and the songs were from the 70s and eighties. It was fun people watching. People on vacation are generally in a good mood so it was great in this day and age to watch people interminglle harmoniously. The waitstaff were friendly and we had a good time the two nights we were there.“
