Sierra Pub

More like 3.5 stars, but giving them the benefit of the doubt since they were super nice people.
It was so warm & cosy in there, we had to go sit and order some hot food. Tried the chipotle chicken sandwich and the garlic fries, which claimed to be a full pound’s worth, but could not have been, given the small pile crammed in the crate with the sandwich.
The chicken breast was clearly frozen & processed to have the appearance of grill marks. It tasted fine, but hadn’t been heated thoroughly.
The fries were good quality, sturdy, crunchy fries and not at all soggy or mushy, which I liked. The freshly minced garlic was nice, but basic seasoning was lacking. Not even salted.
The employees were great, everyone was really nice and helpful.
They had a large selection of beer on tap. Tasted the Angry Orchard, which tasted like apple cider with a kick and not much typical beer flavoring, but it was surprisingly good & refreshing. Also tasted the Speakeasy Porter, which was rich & amazing!
Overall, nice place to kill some time, eat a quick bite, and try some beer.

If you are at Sierra at Tahoe for the snow you’ll probably want to eat, and possibly have a beer. There are three spots, the Sierra Pub upstairs at the base, the 360 at the very top, and the cantina at the base of Westbowl.
While the 360 is my favorite lunch spot — but it’s at the top, so if you stop for a couple drinks, don’t get too wild on the way down. The Sierra Pub is my end-​of-​the-​day choice — the food is a bit overpriced ($ 11 for a decent sandwich), and the drinks about twice ($ 8 beers). The upsides are, decent beer choices (Little Sumpin’ on tap for instance), a great view, and you can end your day there without a final ride down.
The food varies. It’s often crowded. The staff are great though. The better and more affordable snack shops are downstairs in the lodge, but be aware of crowds and large families.

The saving grace for this place is that they are the only place with beer and football while your friends are out on the slopes.
They have a good selection of beer, and the nachos were very good — but everything is overpriced. (Which I came to expect being at a snow lodge).
The mountain of fries really is a mountain, but they definitely were not worth it. If they were fried for a few minutes longer they would have been worth the calories.

NOM NOM NOM (that’s the sound I make after riding from First to Last chair) here at the pub!
Getting out of Sierra is a BEAST. An even hairier, smellier, drool riddled beast at 4−6pm, so this is where you need to put your feet up, or fold your arms and bow your head for a pre-​drive-​home power nap (for those of us who are not local and traveling Hwy 50 EB.) And especially on a powder day!
The food? Awesomesauce! Theres sandwiches, salads, pizza, pretzels, and curly fries. The food totally b*tchslaps the food offerings up at 360 Smokehouse & BBQ. And much healthier options. The bar is fully stocked with all kinds of liquor and several beers on tap…
The only thing I am TOTALLY pissed about this place is they stopped offering Blue Moon on tap, w/​a fresh slice of orange! They replaced it with an equally yummy beer called Tangerine, but its the beer version of a dessert wine, IMHO. I dont really like the other beers offered (sorry!)
Often when I am having a frustrating day in terms of my riding skills, I will end up here, the staff is gracious, attentive, they clear your tables quickly. Theres a great little balcony that seats more people than it appears and boasts front-​row seats to the newbie hill for guaranteed endless entertainment of yard-​sales and faceplants, and timid baby skiers going down the 2 percent grade all pizza style!!! hahaha!
Best of all, the tables outside have hanging heaters overhead, which provide a little extra warmth for those super chilly days. I’ve made friends out of strangers here, and the staff is just amazing… the best part is, usually at the end of the day on the weekends there is a live band, and it just makes the whole life of a ski/​snowboarder bum (sorta-​bum) feel that much more awesome and fun. I love this place.

We were 5 thirsty & tired skiers who came into the pub after a full day, and were really disappointed in he way the Bar MANAGER treated our husbands who just wanted to get beers & hot cocoa for us. He & his staff were completely rude & after his shitty remarks, ignored our husbands (who are really patient & courteous guys) at the bar while they waited for about 10 minutes. (what was the point?!) Really sucks to be treated that way — we were sober, well behaved, NICE people. A horrible experince.
He really had a nasty attitude. A total jerk. Everyone else at Sierra was top-​notch, we can’t say enough about the warm, professional, efficient & generous way they conducted themselves. Maybe they can give this guy a refresher in getting along with others. We’ll never go to the Pub again.

Considering they have waitresses and decently priced grub and booze, how bad could it be?
