What a cool bar to hang out in! Was in Graeagle for a wedding and desperately needed a pregame…read morebeer. Stopped by this bar because it was close to the wedding venue. Never knowing what to expect of a small, locals only type of a bar, I sat in the back and kept to myself at first but within minutes, the bartender and the locals sitting at the bar started talking and including me in their conversations. This place is great!! Every single person there was nice, fun, and pleasant. I also loved the ceiling!! Full of $bills$ that patrons have decorated and hung from the ceiling. There were only a few beers on tap which was fine by me because they had a Pilsner and a hazy option. They also have a full bar and the bartender was quick.

How far is the buck inn?

It's quirky AF, but isn't that EXACTLY what you want? One part legend, another lore, add in all the best parts of a dive like colorful locals, super friendly staff, and cheap drinks, plus nostalgic and vintage vibes, and an enigmatic but eventually welcoming and warm owner, and you've got the Buck Inn. When you arrive, be sure to glance just past the bar and see the sign for "Lizard Xing" and look for the attack lizards inside. If you peek outside in the backyard you may see a casket. Not sure what it's for, and maybe don't ask, but certainly check it out and look around for other fun! Lastly, make sure you look above the last chair of the bar, next to the patio door. They call it the "Asshole Corner" and it was super fun to sit a friend down their and snap a pic without them knowing! We drove over the mountain on back roads in SXS UTVs to get here, and the effort was well rewarded. I'm not saying this is a destination BUT if dives are your thing, then make it one!

This used to be our favorite place to eat when at the old Sugar Bowl lodge (although the Poke Bowl…read moreat the Judah Lodge is really nice as well, praying they didn't mess with the formula there). But the quality of the food compared to prior years has definitely dropped off. They changed up the paninis/grilled sandwiches which used to always be winners. Bread was stale, one side was overly toasted, the other soggy and disintegrating like it had been sitting under a heat lamp. Fries here used to delectable. Now? Stale, either over or under seasoned depending on the fry, and tasted like they had been cooked an hour ago. Hopefully still great for watching games (note to Bay Area kids, this is a "Kings Bar"). Sadly, we may scrap convenience when staying at the hotel and head over to Donner just up the road for aprés ski. Shame, such a difference from prior years where we ate here once a week through the winter season. I will say, the service was as friendly and accommodating as ever, but not much they can do about the kitchen/menu.
