10 Best Craft Breweries in South Lake Tahoe

“Nice rustic atmosphere and the rooms have a cabin/wilderness feel. Rooms are on the smaller side because it’s a renovated motel but it definitely feels like Tahoe and rustic scenery. Would stay here again!“

“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?“

“Love the beer, love the food, and the staff is top notch. My favorite Tahoe spot!“

“Great spot in South Lake to try some great beers!“

“The food is off the hook and the selection of IPA’s is lovely. Service was excellent! Plenty of seating“

“Nice spot for lunch with a beer or cocktail. Great staff and the owner actively walks around the restaurant checking on her guests. She closed the blinds for us because she saw the sun shining in our eyes. The food was good, and the drinks were delicious. It's worth a visit in your in SLT.“

“My husband and I took a day trip to Lake Tahoe and we happened upon South Lake Brewing Company. I like the chill and modern vibe of this place, with lots of natural light inside. They had a good selection of beer and 1 seltzer at the time. I’m giving this place 4 stars because I thought the service of the bartenders was a little lacking and I strongly disliked the seltzer I got but, it is a brewery and I felt their beers were pretty good. If you like beer, I would stop by and check this place out!“

“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.“

“Had a great experience at this place. Got a salad but wasn't a fan on the chicken on top (just my personal preference). They exchanged it for a pizza. Lesson learned, don't get salad at a pizza joint ?. They were understanding. Tht fireplace outside was great for kids. And large area for kids to play. They also have another cocktail bar next door that was amazing.“

“Very good service pub hosts will accommodate any size party’s and or individuals, great atmosphere, good food for south shore you can’t get any better“
