    Best spot in Tahoe City. A true locals spot, never the same beer on tap. They have all the best, newest, and rarest beers. Bartender Ryan helped me out and was awesome.

    Great selection of wine and beer. Outstanding cider on tap up in the front (as well as awesome beers for those who can handle their gluten) as well as many liquor selections. GREAT STAFF! Fun atmosphere. Always great music playing and they'll let you choose the next song if you're into that too! Centrally located in Tahoe City near everything!

    Great place to enjoy and purchase good beer. They also sell the hard stuff. (Picture: Hop Nookie by Kern River Brewing Company. Purchased at SiPS buy enjoyed elsewhere)

    Ambiance = amazing

    This is THE place to come to just hang out, have some drinks, chill and relax. The owner is usually at the bar. He'll pour drinks for you, HAVE drinks with you, and be the best Dj you could ask for. Tv on the wall with a good CLEAN sound system. You can play your own songs on a wall mounted iPad as well. Amazing ambiance. Want to have a late night and chill? The owner is down to stay late and entertain. Can't recommend thus place enough. Come to SiPS and make sure you try the Nutty Chicken bowl which is FIRE.

    What a fun stop ! There isn't a big sign so be sure to go into the craft beer store at 599. Super friendly staff and great beer selection.

Finding a spot that can easily accommodate a large party later in the evening around Tahoe can be a challenge, but the staff here handled our group flawlessly. The ambiance is awesome--it's tucked away right by the lake, and the interior is warm, inviting, and spacious enough that a party of our size didn't feel crammed at all. It has a relaxed, upscale mountain-tavern vibe that's perfect for unwinding with friends. Their menu is pretty unique for a brewery, featuring globally inspired comfort food alongside their craft beers. I ordered the rice bowl with pork belly, and it was pretty good! The pork was flavorful, and the whole bowl was a satisfying, hearty meal after a long day. Everyone else in the group was happy with their food too. Between the solid eats, the great house-brewed beers, and the welcoming space, we had a wonderful time. Definitely a spot worth checking out!

    Always a great experience at the Tahoe National Brewing Company…read more Atmosphere: The lakeside of the restaurant is all big windows and provides a beautiful view of the lake. Atmosphere is warm and inviting while still feeling a little more upscale than your usual brewery. There are a couple of TVs if you want to catch a game but they aren't everywhere so you can choose a dining experience without it. Staff: Always very personable and friendly. My husband and I love sitting at the bar so we can talk with the friendly bar tenders there. Food: Great food. Currently really loving their Japanese menu. Their shishito peppers are addicting and the fried tofu is lovely but a bit of a small portion. The National Roll has great flavor but my goodness those bites are huge. There is no looking dainty while eating slices of this monster roll. That said it's yummy and filling.

All four of us loved the taste of our entrees and of the appetizers. Our server (Jigga) was excellent and attentive. The atmosphere was nice with a great view of the Truckee River, just 20 feet away from our window table. The bathrooms were clean. On the flip side, we were greeted rather rudely upon walking in. We arrived early especially to grab a drink and relax during happy hour. There were four of us and 2 bar stools, so we sat at one of the three empty high-tops next to the bar. The bartender told us we couldn't sit there and that we had to order drinks standing at the bar and then cash out before being seated for dinner. Our table in the dining room was waiting, but we still had to pay for drinks at the bar before being seated. It was very confusing the way things were handled, especially considering this restaurant is rated $$$ on Yelp. Long story short, we stood at the bar until our tab was settled. Then we noticed that we were not charged the happy hour pricing (we still had another 20 minutes). We brought it up with the bartender and she said, "you have to ask for the happy hour menu if you want happy hour prices." So immediately we felt unwelcome and as if we were being treated like "one-visit tourists". She didn't even offer to change our tab to reflect the happy-hour pricing. Unfortunately the bar confusion left a sour taste over much of the entire dinner, which otherwise would have been a fairly decent night out. Three-stars for the happy hour experience , and 4 stars for the restaurant.
