    This place would have to call a hidden gem. A spot that if you blinked you would miss it on your way into town. Been here a few times before for work related things and finally decided to try the food. The owners are super nice and the Philly cheesesteak I had with fries(prolly some of the best I have had with the fries), and the cheesesteak was pretty awesome. Service was fast friendly and very old school place with lots of history to check out as well.

    I know there's a lot of people complaining about the ordering system but I think it's efficient and love it. Sat down scanned a qr code ordered and they delivered my drinks and food quickly. Drinks were good, loved all the flight options. We only ordered fries but they were good and the spicy aioli was great! Only thing I don't recommend is the spikef fruit punch definitely not a fan.

    This place was close and within walking distance from our cabin. The ordering process was easy and straight forward online. We were able to order, come in and get our food with ease. The environment is definitely very bar like and cozy. Loud but inviting. There's inside and outdoor seating available and staff is very friendly. Food is definitely bar food but it works for an easy meal. The bbq sandwich was packed with meat and shareable. The burger was good and the kids meals of chicken tenders and grilled cheese were ok. The cheese wasn't as melted as they like on the grilled cheese but it is what it is. Fries were good but salty. Definitely heavy on the seasoning. They gave us a lot of sauce so it was definitely nice to have with the fries. Definitely will be back for the drinks next time.

    BIG BEAR MOUNTAIN BREWERY @ BIG BEAR Parking is available for only customers or will be towed! There is a couple spots available on the right side of the place. My friends and I came to Big Bear for the weekend and stumbled upon this spot. Live music, a selection of beers, and american food, we were excited to be here. This is a family owned business! There was live music and you were able to request a song from their list. The vibes were great, they also have an 18% gratuity required for everyone. The food was fantastic, it was a turkey sandwhich and it came out so buttery and crispy, with the BEST fries and two side sauces. My boyfriend is a huge blood orange fan so when he saw that it was a beer flavor he had to get it! We also got puzzles at the end of our meal and it was super fun to guess and play as if we were kids. I'd highly recommend stopping by here, I will be back! The service is incredible!

    Bar to the left, tables to the right and towards the front.

    We ditched the snow tubing dream after seeing how long the line was. Instead, we wandered into this cozy little spot -- think of it as your friend's rustic wooden cabin, only with a menu and a bar tab. A small fire was going on in the fireplace, and a live musician gamely took requests while the crowd gleefully sang along. The vibe was laid-back with an eclectic selection of songs that brought a sense of childhood nostalgia. QR codes are on each table, so ordering was easy. THE FOOD. - Wicked BBQ Sandwich. The pulled pork was juicy, tender, and had the right balance of sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. Swiss cheese melted over the meat pile, while the brioche bun, airy with crisped edges, held it all together. Seasoned fries accompanied this meal for a flavorful kick. - Cubano Sandwich. The crunch of pressed bread gives way to layers of rich roasted pork, cured ham, melted swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles. It's bold yet balanced. THE DRINK. - West Coast IPA. Unapologetically hoppy with a dry finish. THE PARKING. We pulled into the back lot, where parking was both free and stress-free. THE VERDICT. Great food, solid beer, and enjoyable live music. If we're ever in town again, we'll be sure to drop by.

    Kind of like a margarita flight, but not exactly margaritas... Pretty tasty though!

    We stopped in when they first opened for lunch and we're excited to check out someplace new. Small place, very cozy and rustic inside. Pretty limited food selection, unless you are ordering a burger, but the drinks are good and they have some very tasty beer selections! Our favorite part was the entertainment by Tom and Tom, great musicians, and a great couple of guys! We very much enjoyed our visit and we'll be back!

    Loveeeee everything about BB Mountain Brewery! The service, the food, the live music, the kid friendly atmosphere!!! We had so much fun I forgot to take pictures of our food (shocker) but we had the Cesar salad, burger, chicken strips, chicken wings and pulled pork sandwich- all delicious and no crumbs left. We were given puzzles to challenge our brains while we enjoyed the fireplace and live music, everyone had a great time and we will definitely be back again!

    Still one of my favorite bars. They often have live music during the weekend afternoons; today it was a guitarist - the Stagehands. Cute, cozy atmosphere with fireplace. They have burgers, fries, drinks, even fun drinks for the kids like milk and cookie flight and lemonade flight. Today, had great service from Hunter. Til next time!

    Amazing spot in Big Bear. I've been coming to Big Bear Mountain Brewery for years and it never disappoints. The food is always quick, the drinks hit every time, and the whole place has this cozy home vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. We came in for just a quick drink and bite, but the live performances had us vibing for way too long in the best way. All our jams, all night. Huge shoutout to Hunter, the bartender. He was seriously the best. Super friendly, rad energy, and made the experience even better. Wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time.

    The vibe was laid back, the bartender was hilarious and really welcoming. Perfect place to hang out if you're in Big Bear highly recommend stopping by!

    Great Beers, food and pub vibe with live music! We enjoyed the burger and chicken wings, super crispy fries and exclusive homemade sauces. It is a family owned and operated, they are very welcoming and hospitable. De vintage decoration and live music made a superb atmosphere. Will definitely be back for more!

    All the beer we had was good, but the service was just ok. Staff did not greet us and wasn't the kindest. Also, the beer is very expensive, I paid $60 for 2 four packs yikes! They did have live music and the decor was a fun.

    Stopped in on our way out of town to this Big Bear Mountain Brewery. My guy wanted to try this place, which is small, hole in the wall, divey place that sells other brewery's beers. Smelled musty. Didn't try the food. My guy ordered the wheat beer. Me, just an ice tea. Wasn't feeling it. The atmosphere was blah! Service was ok, Stopped and now heading out!!

    Rick Snow is the greatest guy we've ever met. 10/10 best place up here

    I don't know. I have only been there once around 5 pm and no one was there and the music was so loud we could not sit inside. We sat outside with all the cat noises! Good luck!

    No reservations. First come first serve. Feel free to call if you have a large group a head of time to see if we have enough capacity.

    Yes we are dog friendly on the outside patio

    Do you still have live music and what days/ times? Coming for my first visit in a couple weeks can't wait!

    Yes. Patio dinning only currently. Musicians perform outside Friday - Sunday more often when we are allowed to be fully open. I recommend the blood hot summer and the Cubano sandwich.

    Do they have beer to go? If so, cans? Growlers?

    Yes growlers and bottles

    What's nights do you have live music?

    Every night :)

They actually did a good job not letting it get too packed. A little more of a ratchet vibe than I was expecting but still really fun! I think they have a cover starting at 10:00pm. Bathrooms were terrible!! There are two sets one inside and one outside one.

You would Think that the place would be packed as it's a sports bar and right in the middle of town. Well, it wasn't. They had the game on which was the reason we were coming to. First off, even though it wasn't that busy, they only had one bartender working the place. Bartender and server all in one. He was busy but sweet the whole time. Getting a drink did take a little while as he was trying to maneuver everyone's order. Good thing, the games was on all the television. It did pick up here and there but give or take about 10 people were in the bar. Surprise as it's downtown Palm Springs but wasn't busy. We had 2 pitchers of beer thinking it would probably be a little cheaper than getting a couple of bottles. Well, when the bill came, it was about 80.00 for the bill before tip. A little taken off with it but I guess it is what it is. Honestly didn't think it would be at least 40.00 for a pitcher but damn. Anyways, pricey for the drinks. The place wasn't that busy which we were surprised. And there was only one bartender the whole time we were there for the game. I'm sure it gets busy but honestly I think it's more of a tourist place versus the locals. As it is right in the heart of downtown. The locals know where to go instead.

This place saved my life…read more I expect bars in theme parks to be somewhere from 'a bit kitschy' to downright cesspools of insincerity, but this one's different. I can't say it's the awesome bartenders... the land it's built on or something more magical, but there is a literal 'vibe of humanity' here which I've experienced in VERY few places on this planet. Doesn't hurt that the food is awesome too :) It is infectious - it is good - and it restored my faith in humans more than once when I really needed it.

The pretzel was HUGE and the kids pizza fed two kids with leftovers! No complaints here.. well maybe just one but I was given a quick fix when I expressed my disappointment when they didn't serve blended drinks. Not to worry the coffee shop does and it's only a few steps away! This place was cute with tables or bar seating available. The bicycle theme was cute but personally I liked the barrel seating the best. There was a tv for sports on the back wall. As long as there's no one else watching, putting in a request for certain sports to be played seemed to be no issue. There's several small tables inside and extra long picnic benches outside. Seating was your choice and there was a window to watch tv but still remain outside. Cute little bar, that I'll definitely be making my way back to for a visit!
