Brewery At Lake Tahoe

A fixture in Tahoe, I am led to believe, but a bit of a curate’s egg. The service was decent but unimpressive; the outdoor seating was just fine, though the interior didn’t seem all that interesting; the beers we got were definitely a mixed bag, one very good and the other deeply mediocre. The dining was the real let-​down, nothing better than you’d get at any average bar with food service, but it’s not like it was inedible — just lacked any real invention or interest. I’d go back to try more of their beer anytime, but I might eat somewhere else first.

I’ve heard about the brewery for years but my wife and I made out first stop in tonight. The food is a good value. We had the calzone and it was about 12″ long and made to order. The we had the stout porter Amber bad ass and wheat. All were pretty good. It was a decent experience but nothing that I couldn’t live without.

I wish I could give this place no stars! The burgers are absolutely horrible! Paying $ 14 for a burger that is terrible is out of control! Both me and my friend felt totally sick after eating there trash. The service was also terrible! The bar tender never even asked how the food was. Guess she knows the food is terrible too. The beer was fine but I would certainly not recommend anything other than a beer. If you can avoid this place, do it! Don’t eat here!!!

Life savers… If I could, I would give them 10stars. Just GO!!! As easy as 1−2−3, what else could you want?!
1– ABOVE AND BEYOND SERVICE? Check!
2– COMFEE ATMOSPHERE? Check!
3– GREAT FOOD AND DRINK? Check!
We walked in after a day on the slopes with 3 hungry and tired kids… The manager endearingly they called them «Hangry» … :-) read below and you’ll see why…
They had just been slammed with 5 tables and 1 waiter at once… So when 15mins passed and no one came by my husband simply said our son is hypoglycemic and needs some food soon. He was REALLY ANGRY as his blood sugar was very low.
It was like a triage team assembled! The manger (young long dark hair lady) said oh yes, he’s «Hangry» (he laughed) and she asked if french fries would do… and there was a huge plate of fries on our table in less than 3 mins… Even before that arrived they brought the kids Shirley temples with whip cream on top! Everyone was sooooo happy! (lovely waitress with dark hair to her shoulders, tattoos on her arms brought the drinks and loved on the kids too) Not only did they not make us NOT feel bad, they made us feel like old friends… Family even!
We ordered cheese pizzas, southwest chicken and fish in chips…
Everything was equally delicious but those fish and chips were the best I’d ever had! It was like there were 2 big battered full fish on the plate, plenty of fries… But the coleslaw and tarter sauce with the dill just hit it out of the park! Can you say food coma???
On top of all the initial shenanigans with hypoglycemic kid we– late in the game– asked for onion rings instead of fries for the fish and chips… They brought some out on top of the fires and didn’t even charge us for it. They WERE PHENOMENAL! Kids loved the pizza, as did the Hubby the southwest chicken.
Really appreciated the love and understanding from the staff, the great food and nice setting. Cannot thank them enough… I hope the owner gives these ladies a bonus cuz our tip as big as we could leave, isn’t worthy!

Pizza is delicious, and the beer is pretty good too!
Many will talk about their «pizza chips.» These were good, but let’s not overhype them… It’s slightly thinner pizza without pizza sauce, cut into smaller slices. We had the buffalo pizza chips, and it was good.
I would say the burger was about average for what you would expect from a place like this, but the onion rings were delicious.
If you’re going to come here, I think you should keep it simple… Pizza. Beer. Maybe a dinner salad (with their house dressing, which was great) to start. If you stick with those winners, you’ll leave wanting to give this spot five stars. If you deviate too much, you’ll settle for four.

Good service, beer were average but I only had a porter. Still was done with a nice clean finish for a porter. Ohh and pizzas were quite delicious. Chicken wings were also pretty good.

This place is so good! I came here twice in one day. I’m visiting from Vegas and it was literally 2 minutes from me! My boyfriend and I shared a ranchero bbq pizza and also both had burgers! The food is absolutely delicious! Nicely priced as well. Our server, I believe Scott who was the bartender as well, was super nice and attentive. He gave us some tips on some cool hang out spots and things to do. Highly recommend this place!

Cool little spot. The bartenders/​brewers are really knowledgeable about their beer and pairing it to food. The pizza, especially the loaded baked potato pizza, is excellent.

Wait was a bit long, but it was worth the wait for the beer and chicken sandwich. Laid back atmosphere and kid-​friendly kind of joint and perfect after a day of hitting the snow.

I’ve been coming to this place for over 15 years, sport their bumper sticker on my car, and have sung their praises to everyone I know. So it is with sadness that I have to warn you to steer clear.
I brought the family of 4 here to enjoy what has always been one of favorite spots. We were told it would be 45 minutes wait, which seemed long, but hey – we love this place, right? An hour later, after watching bigger parties walk in and get seated, we were still sitting (standing in the kids’ case) at the bar. BTW – it took 20 mins just to get a beer, sitting at the bar! I finally complained, and we got seated about 10mins later… And then sat another 10 without so much as a sideways glance from a server.
The bottom line? There are better local breweries in town, and there is better food, and there is certainly better service. This is my last trip here. You should consider this before suffering as we did. Coldwater, here I come.

«Eek! Methinks not.» Exactly, Unilocal,exactly. For one, three of the draught beers we wanted were out. Boo. Ok, so how ’bout a cocktail? No. Save the money. That was pretty much the worst margarita I’d had. My husband and his friend got the full flight of draughts and ick, pretty dismal. Maybe two of the eight were passable. We’re from a craft beer town and I guess we’re spoiled; or maybe it was an off night, but, pass.
The nachos? Pretty much a pile of mush. Nothing more to say about that. The pizza we all split? I think Domino’s new recipe is better than this tasteless, cardboard topped with gobs of cheese. I know everyone has their taste for pizza, so I’ll save you from reading a play-​by-​play, but this was in the top 5 worst pizzas I’ve ever had. Boo!
The two stars, though? For the setting — right on the main drag, with outdoor seating and a good ambiance — and our server. We didn’t complain to him — it wasn’t his fault — and, yes, we tipped. But we won’t be back. Do yourself a favor and skip this one.

At first when you walk into this building you automatically think outdated by the look of their décor. But, I am so happy to proclaim that the old saying «Don’t judge a book by its cover» still remains true. This place had the BEST pizza I’ve ever had! I ordered the «Super Bad Ass» pizza and it blew my mind. Definitely considered ordering one to go. It’s a white spicy sauced pizza with awesome sun dried tomatoes! If you are coming from out of town you MUST TRY this place!!!

He stopped in for a beer and decided to have lunch, too. We had the Paramount Porter which was super smooth, Caesar salad and the Brewery Deluxe pizza. Everytime taste great, but the pizza was a little burned and crispy. We will definitely would return, the staff was incredibly friendly and we were checked on continously.

A cute little winding house, with multiple doors to choose from. As we approached, I said, «Is this a test?» Which door do I choose? I must have chosen wisely, because everything turned out great. I chose the mandarin beer and it was crisp, with a citrus punch.
The pest pizza chips appetizer is tasty and huge! We still have half sitting in our room. The calamari is tender and light. The cocktail sauce carries a lingering punch. The edamame enough garlic to bring Dracula to his knees.
The side salad was basic and the balsamic dressing was meh.
Service was great on a Wednesday night.

Stopped by here and tried two beers — the porter and the brown. Loved them both and I will be stopping by here to try the food sometime — it looked and smelled delicious.

This place is a solid 3 star for me… my girls love eating here every time we come to SLT. For me I personally just like to chill out have a couple cold ones and just enjoy what SLT is all about. Best time of year is summer and spring and grab and seat out front somewhere… they have a pretty good sized menu with a lot of selection, but I personally haven’t ventured to far off the bath from their pizza and burgers which I have never been disappointed with. My kids personal favorite which I also think is good is the loaded baked potato… sounds weird yes but well worth a try. Some of my other favorites are keep Tahoe Blue Burger, Bad Ass Burger (must be shared) and the pizza chips are must try starter before a meal…
Beer choices for me I really like their Paramount Porter and have always enjoyed all of their seasonal brews as well… my personal favorite is the Killibrew Brown Ale and the Sinbad & the 7C’s…when in Tahoe great central place to check out for sure. You won’t be blown away, but promise you won’t be disappointed either.

We end up at the Brewery every time we are in South Lake — it must be some sort of tradition we have going.
The brewery is a little house along the main road with barley any signage, a tiny parking lot in the back, and an odd entrance that makes you go upstairs to then go back downstairs… It’s all part of the charm of converting a non-​commercial building into a restaurant. While I think the interior could use a little more of that same charm, we’re not really there for the atmosphere but instead for the food and beer.
We’ve tried many of the items on the typical «brew-​pup» menu, but we usually stick to the pizzas. Sharing two smalls is plenty for two people (with a couple of slices leftover). And the pizza bites are a big appetizer — it’s probably the size of a medium pizza just cut into little, bite-​sized pieces.
Service might not be top-​notch — servers disappear, but eventually come back (must have been break time?). The drink and food orders are taken by different people and then delivered by another set of different people — this makes it hard to know who to grab when you need a drink refill or another napkin. But they aren’t slow, even when waiting for a pizza, and I’ve never had to wait to be seated.
Beers include their regulars, plus a changing list of seasonal beers. The Bad Ass Ale is pretty bad ass — strong, pretty dark, and really filling. I don’t think I could drink more than one of these in a sitting. The White-​Out Wit is less filling and refreshing for a wit. The Porter is not as heavy as some others and is full of flavor.
Like I said, the Brewery is a tradition for us when making a trip over to South Lake… you know we’ll be back!

Nice hometown kind of spot, relaxed atmosphere, nice staff, good beer, good food. Not fancy, if you want to dress up, then I’d recommend heading over to stateline. If you want good food and drinks at a decent price then the Brewery At Lake Tahoe is your place.
If you are in South Lake for a few days and like beer, then I recommend a growler fill. Keep the glass and then bring it up when you travel to Tahoe and you’ll have tap-​fresh beer for your stay.
The pizza is good here — the vegetarian is our choice. The choices are typical pub fare, burgers, sandwiches, pizzas.
My only complaint was last visit there was a rude motor-​mouth patron that went on for 20 minutes about working for the CIA. But hey, have some heart for people with mental illness.

Nice spot!
We were on a road trip and hungry and this place just conveniently popped up.
Food is really tasty and the portions are generous, as you can see by the pictures. Beer is also yummy, they have a choice of several of their local brews.
I ordered a burger with beer battered fries and it tasted great! burger was good, but not terribly memorable, however the fries were excellent. Perfect, thinly sliced crispy goodness. I would come back here for fries alone, so good they were.
Good spot if you have a large group. We had a 9 people party and they seated us right away which was awesome. The waiter however, not sure if he was new or something, but he mixed up our order several times. First time by serving us the wrong beer and second time by forgetting to bring us places and silverware, so we had to remind him about that several times.
Overall though the place is great and i would definitely come back to eat here and i would recommend it to my friends. Lets hope the service is better next time.

After arriving to Tahoe, my boyfriend and I decided that we wanted to eat out at a near by location. We were hungry and wanted good food. We definitely chose a great spot. The food was great! And the beers were decent.
We ordered a deluxe pizza and an Italian hamburger to go with our seven choice flight. Our server was nice and took our order immediately. Our beers and foods came out quite quickly as well. The pizza was tastey and delicious — thin crust, decent amount of toppings, and smelt lovely The hamburger was different, a good different. Although the burger meat was cooked medium, as we had requested, the outside was slightly burnt and hard. The fries that came with our burger were sooo good! They were thin and crunchy. We couldn’t stop eating it. In all, we enjoyed the food very much. We even had leftovers!
