Big Blue View Bar is Homewood's mid-mountain pavilion (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=mXJKej3qZ6PcCC8yrQZMxg) just down from the top of Madden Chair. Indoor tables (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=ZINJGtuv9O0XomzzbsnSrw) as well as rows of Adirondack chairs facing the lake (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=V5gJ3sXlLsNdrrrg3tGXlg).
There's a "permanent food truck" out back providing grilled brats, dogs, chili, and a soup of the day as well as grab & go snacks, beers and airplane bottles of booze so you can do your Red Bull (or Powerade) & Vodka (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=doaj7fLiSWdo0nNxdXgSNA). They do have a cocktail menu, if you want a fancier blend.
Beer is all canned and ranges from PBR ($5) and Coors/Bud Light ($7) to $8 "craft beer" options of Guinness and a few Sierra Nevada and Pizza Port selections like Chronic Amber (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=TRdTCvL0wVmVKabRaak39w) and Swami's IPA (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=BoLkn5CWvCAcBmJotXie3A)
The brats and dogs come on an untoasted bun with a generous pile of kettle chips (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=FamVkpiQcRGD5u_72LoTiQ).
Nothing fancy, but it hit the spot (https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/big-blue-view-bar-homewood-2?select=2Gw4HGbCHtTTmf5JWLQiew) and basically the only game in town for hot food, unless you want to go to the lodge.
