6 Best Beer Bars in South Lake Tahoe

“For our last dinner while in South Lake Tahoe, hubby & I decided to go to Taste of Tahoe restaurant. We enjoyed our food - we ordered chicken and pork schnitzels, potato salad, hubby had one of their czech beers on tap and for dessert we ordered an apple strudel with some vanilla ice cream. Everything tasted wonderful and fresh. The owners were very sweet and we really enjoyed the atmosphere there. 5 stars for authentic food & great service ! Dakujeme“

“This place is awesome, nickey the bartender is great. Really dog friendly. Not like other places that say dog friendly but very limited. Nickey loves the dogs, gets the fireplace going and you feel like you’re at home. Well worth the stop. Oh yeah the beer is really good too?“

“Was there on Monday, food and service were good. I can sympathize with reviewer who talked about the awkwardness of the 20% optional service charge, it is an added element that u really don’t want to deal with when ur out enjoying a lunch or dinner, yes the tipping system isn’t perfect, your always going to have people that do not tip accordingly whether service is outstanding or not. I tip 20% for “adequate “ service, if the bartender wishes to share 5% of that tip with cook that’s her business, I use that analogy because that’s the way the bartender explained the optional service charge to me. If the short order cook needs a portion of bartender/servers tip that’s on the owner. There was a vote by SLT board members that voted against minimum wage hike and some of the shedcat owners fellow small business owners came out against the hike. There reasoning was the majority of people in restaurant positions are transitional( part time students, seasonal workers), first time employed, etc. there arguments are sound knowing that if labor costs go up food/drink prices go up to pay for them which we the consumers ultimately pay for. One of the shedcat owners was recently quoted in a local news article as being very much in favor of the vacancy tax in SLT, I hope she/ he realizes a lot of the people that will be affected by this are potential customers that are not all rich people with big vacation home owners but just people who continue to work into there 60s to support there choice of a vacation ( way to take away there discretionary income) Owners of businesses are always looking to pass the buck to consumers( it’s the nature of the business) the mere suggestion of an optional tip is just another example. Rather than supporting legislation gouging hard working people out of there hard earned money maybe focus more on your business plan. If the article I read that shedcat ownership was quoted in is bogus/ untrue please let me know and I will retract a portion of my review. I live here but feel for people who have vacation homes here that have no say/vote in the process. I’d be willing to bet the people that live here part time spend as much on discretionary things like going to dinner/ more high end grocery items than us locals. Food for thought. Note that I gave a four star not a one star review.“

“We visited this place on a Sunday afternoon. Indoor seating was quite empty and we were seated immediately. Friendly staff and the food items came out very fast. Nice decor. The location is very good and easy to accessVegetarian options: Few vegetarian options“

“I promised the guy working here named Peppe (hope I spelled that right, sorry if I didn't Peppe, and sorry this review is a little late; was there last week) that I would leave a review. I want to say that Peppe was spot on. He really seems to love his job, and was super excited to serve us and tell us a little about Blue Dog Pizza (was in Lake Tahoe for business, so this was my first time here). A big thumbs up to Peppe! As far as the pizza is concerned, I loved the cheese, and the sauce. Fantastic. The only complaint I have would be the amount of toppings (had all the meat toppings, along with bell pepper/onions/tomatoes) that was placed on the pizza. In my opinion there was not enough to justify the cost of the pizza (I got a large that was $30.00). There was some of each topping, but not a lot. I took it back to my hotel that had a kitchen in it and added more sausage, ham, onions, etc. It was good, don't get me wrong, but for $30 I want the pizza loaded down with toppings. The only other part I didn't really care for was how the bell pepper and onion are cut. They are not diced, but rather cut in long pieces. Just a preference, as I'm sure a lot of people like theirs cut in long pieces. Would I purchase this again if I were to go back, probably not due to the lower amount of toppings on it. Was it good, absolutely. Did Peppe do a great job, absolutely! He was the main reason I decided to give it a try.“
