    The drinks
    Nic N.

    Popped in early sun AM. Barista was busy but kept thanking us for our patience which goes a long way. Asked for an espresso shot and a pour over. Pour over was great. Clean, balanced, exactly what I was hoping for first thing in the morning. First espresso shot wasn't great. Something was off in extraction. To their credit, they pulled a second as a consolation and it was definitely better. Not perfect, but improved. I appreciated the effort. The space is kind of cutesy, kind of silly in a charming way. Apothecary vibes, playful decor, not taking itself too seriously. Overall enjoyed the coffee and the scene. I'd come back, probably for another pour over.

    Great coffee and cocktail bar with retro eclectic vibes. Super friendly service and an atmosphere that's right up our alley. Something for everyone in our clan.

    Stopped by this place for an early morning coffee and was pleasantly surprised. The interior was beautiful, a moody aesthetic with couches and bar seating available. There's also a small stage where live music is played daily. Both coffee and alcohol are served all day. I ordered the seasonal drink, a pistachio white mocha. It was so good! Perfectly balanced sweetness and the actual espresso was great too. The service was prompt, although not the friendliest. But there is minimal counter interaction so it wasn't as big of a deal. I would want to return for drinks and to hear the live music.

    Randomly stopped in for a few coffees. The bar itself was loaded and was beautifully decorated. The bartender was so friendly and the coffee was one of the best I've ever had. The only negative is the parking. You'll pay 3x the price of your coffee to park unless you get lucky. I'll definitely have to check this place out for their cocktails

    Espresso Martini

    I have found was is currently my favorite bar in all of Nevada! We were in Tahoe for my bday weekend and decided to walk around South Tahoe and pop in at a couple different bars before our dinner plans. We had passed by this bar a couple times but at the time didn't realize what it was until we found it on yelp and liked what we saw. Open walking in we really like the aesthetic and they had a person playing acoustic guitar which further set the mood inside. We sat at the bar and were promptly greeted by Kristin and after a bit of looking at all the great drinks on the menu started making our way through a couple of them. All the drinks we had here were really good but my favorite for sure was the Coffee Negroni. Not just is it served in a cool way with the cocktail being poured over coffee into the glass, but it was an exceptional Negroni. We don't come to Tahoe too often but from now on this has to be a must-stop local for now into eternity.

    This bar is so cute!! They also double as a coffee shop and have live music. I have to say the service was amazing today, I forgot the woman who helped me but she made delicious drinks, even customized some for my friend and was so patient. I love that they make their own syrups here, it made such a difference! The Noel's espresso martini is dangerous, you couldn't even taste the alcohol. The blueberry mint burbon drink was also so good, the egg whites really balanced out the burbon.

    if you're looking for a cute and aesthetic coffee shop, this is it in lake tahoe! I got the Auburn latte and it was SO good and really strong. The flavor was amazing and it definitely woke me up. I also loved the interior, the space is really cute and cozy. They even had a live show going on while I was there which made the whole vibe even better. Such a fun coffee spot! I would come again for sure

    Friendly service from the barista...she was the only one working but warmly greeted us and informed us we'd be able to order as soon as she was done making the drinks for the previous customers. We sat at a booth across from the bar, and the vibes are actually really cozy considering it's such a large space. My latte was warm and spicy, very cute place for coffee!

    Seating area

    This coffee house is adorable!!! Love the vibe! Plenty of seating and they even had live music on a Saturday at 11am. The barista was fabulous and made great drinks. We had the black & white peppermint mocha, iced vanilla matcha, and vanilla latte. Highly recommend!

    This is a great cocktail bar right off of the main strip in South Lake Tahoe. Its dark and moody ambiance creates a relaxed atmosphere to chill with a drink and listen to the live music. You might want to consider a reservation since it's not a big place and can get busy on the weekends.

    Coffee with a view

    Such a cute place with an amazing vibe. Coffee was delicious and the breakfast sandwiches were amazing! Need to come back in the evening and try the more adult beverages. Server was friendly and welcoming and answered all our questions. Would come back here for sure!

    Live music nightly
    Laura A.

    Loved the live music at this cute bar that doubles as a coffee cafe during the day. They have a good drink menu, service is quick with only one person working all the tables and one bartender. Mostly small round tables for couples and bar seating. No food in the evenings. I would definitely go back.

    B&W peppermint mocha, double espresso
    Amanda L.

    Great coffee and fun seasonal flavors. I got the b&w mocha and it was the perfect sweet to coffee ratio. Barista was super friendly and inside it's very cute and decorated. They also had hand sewn small tissue packs for free to grab, it was so cute and thoughtful for the cold weather. Will definitely be coming back here every time I'm staying in this area!

    On a very cold November night, I made the trek to downtown Reno to see a popular island reggae band…read moreperform. Thankfully, there is free city parking not far away. Tickets said doors would open at 7, with the show at 8. I don't think the doors actually opened until after 7:30, and the line was 3-blocks long when I arrived around 8. As others have noted, this is a Fire Marshal's nightmare. I finally made it to the front of the line just before 9 p.m., and the bouncers were rushing us, saying the show would start at 9. It started around 9:10. I had initially tried to hang back on the first floor, but it was nearly impossible to move or to see the faraway stage, so I made my way upstairs. Now, to call this a concert venue would be generous. It's a two-level shotgun bar that happens to have sound equipment but poor acoustics. The upstairs had a pretty large ladies bathroom, though one toilet was flushing non-stop and my stall had no TP--before the show! I made my way into the upstairs bar area, where it was much easier to move about, but with only two bartenders for hundreds of people vying for drinks, I gave up and went to find a place to watch the concert. Problem is that from the upper level, you really cannot watch anything and the sound, as mentioned, isn't great. If you don't know the songs and the lyrics, you won't enjoy the show. There was at least one song that played that sounded SO familiar, but it took me several minutes to recognize it because everything was so muffled. Upstairs, there is a short metal railing with high metal stools along it. I think the owner's idea was to have the first row of concert-watchers sitting so others behind them could see, but unfortunately, this takes up more space and doesn't lower the person's profile, so those behind are farther back with no view. I felt terrible for the fans around me who were shorter than I am. There were a few TV monitors around the bar that occasionally had a live stream of the stage, but how disappointing to go to a concert and not even get to see the person who is performing? I was not surprised that the band didn't play an encore. The biggest fans couldn't even see them and vice versa. Though the tickets were inexpensive (under $40), I hope bands and their booking agents will seriously think twice about playing here. There are SO many better venues in the Tahoe area. Heck, Crystal Bay Casino is an excellent venue with a much better bar and music setup. Just do everyone a favor and don't play here.

    I went to a show here recently and it was one of the worst live show experiences I've ever seen, no…read morefault to the amazing artist performing. This place is understaffed and their operations is a joke. It took over an hour to get into a show here, the line was extremely long and very slow moving. There was still a very long line when the artist went on, such disrespect to the artist. Once you got to the door, you had 1 person checking ID's, 1 person checking tickets, and 1 person barely being a security guard. This unpreparedness and lack of streamlined operations is not very supportive of the artist performing. The venue appeared to be a bit run down. Women's restrooms are not well kept, no toilet paper in any stalls. The venue floors are disgustingly sticky wherever you walk. The main venue area was so packed, you can barely move, I'm pretty sure they were overcapacity. The bars were understaffed, there were only 2 bartenders covering the large second floor bar for hundreds of people and half of the time one of the bartenders was not really serving people. It took at least 30 mins to get a round of drinks. For a bar that claims that they have "one of the largest selections of craft beer on tap", they only had canned/bottled beer available. The sound is the worst I've ever heard at a music venue, you could barely understand the artist performing. There were TV's showing the performance, but they were either delayed or not working. The upstairs viewing area is very limited, if you're not standing at the balcony that overlooks the stage, you're relying on the terrible TV's. I don't think they have good management in place, this place is a joke! I will never go to a show here again!
