    hefeweizen and pog
    Brittany E.

    Stumbled upon this brewery and it instantly became one of our new favorite spots in Tahoe! They have a great variety of options--from classic beers to kombucha and other creative brews. We came on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find out it's Happy Hour all day with $2 off any drink. I ordered the hefeweizen, and it was perfectly refreshing after a long day of snowboarding. My husband got the POG kombucha, and we both ended up loving our drinks. The atmosphere is a huge standout too. There's a few tables for indoor seating, but the outdoor area is surrounded by tall forest trees, giving it a peaceful, tucked-away vibe and makes it a unique brewery atmosphere. They even have a few igloo-styled tents with heat lamps, which made it super cozy on a cooler day. Plus, there are food trucks parked outside, so grabbing something tasty to pair with your drink is super easy. Overall, awesome drinks, great ambiance, delicious food options nearby, and an unbeatable happy hour deal. Can't wait to come back next time we're in Tahoe!

    The Hangar is a must stop if you're passing through South Lake Tahoe. This location offers amazing beer options, food trucks, and ample outdoor seating for you to enjoy the scenic sights and smells of Lake Tahoe. The service is fast and the outdoor games are a great way to spend some time with your group!

    I don't think I can say enough good things about the spot, but I'm going to try. This place is an absolute gem! We stumbled upon The Hangar after reading all the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even though there was a ticketed concert that night (the last one of their summer lineup), he still let us stay to grab a pizza and a beer. We were able to hang out on the patio with our two small dogs while we waited for the pizza spot to open. My husband ordered the Fifty-Fifty Blonde Ale from Truckee, which paired perfectly with the all-meat pizza from Rad Pizza - seriously delicious! The crust was thin, crisp, and loaded with fresh ingredients. We were hoping to stay for the start of the concert, but it got a little too chilly for us and the pups. Still, we can't say enough good things about the atmosphere. The patio lights, bocce ball courts, heaters, and fire pits make this outdoor space a no-brainer for a relaxed Tahoe hangout. We originally wanted to check out the igloos (I think they might have been put away for the concert), but now we have an even better excuse to come back. This has definitely become one of our new favorite South Lake Tahoe spots - can't wait to return on our next trip!

    Visited the Hangar for a concert recently and I was very impressed! It's fun to have an outdoor concert venue, and this is a casual venue with great beers on tap and several food trucks. Despite being a sold out show it wasn't overly crowded, and they have tables throughout the venue and space where you can relax. My only complaint was for this particular show, people brought their lawn chairs which really kills the ambience of attending a concert with an upbeat band. I couldn't believe my eyes watching all these people sitting right in front of the stage while this band is performing and trying to get people to get up and move. I hope the Hangar learns from this and at least sections of a floor space or has a designated seating area not right in front of the stage. I would attend another concert here in the future regardless, and appreciate the new venue and event space in SLT!

    The Hangar is a great spot to see a show! We saw Hollow Coves play here on a beautiful September evening and it was a true treat. Upon arrival, there was a line to grab drinks though if you venture a bit father into the Hangar on a show night there are some much shorter lines to grab a beverage. It's all beer and cider here. No wine or hard liquor that I could find. There were also a few food trucks that looked great but I didn't partake. The space itself is a great open air spot with yard games and plenty of turf for seating. There are lots of picnic tables as well. The venue is great for live music. It's small and they do a great job not overselling it. It's very intimate and you can get very close to the stage. I loved being able to see the band up close and the band had such great crowd interaction. Parking here is pretty easy even after their lot fills up. There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Go enjoy a show here! I highly recommend.

    Nice ambiance with the tall trees and outdoor lights!

    The Hangar has a large and good beer selection on tap! They had Humble Sea Brewing which is one of my favorites. It's open seating and when I came Friday night there were only about 2 tables left. They have a huge space but not enough seating to fill it up. The night before we tried to check it out and were turned away because it was a ticketed event - check their website for their schedule!

    The Hangar is our go-to spot every time we visit South Lake Tahoe, and for good reason. Tucked beneath tall pines, this outdoor beer garden serves up serious vibes, relaxed, dog-friendly, and effortlessly cool with great service. Their craft beer flights are a must-try! The atmosphere is super inviting: picnic tables, music, plenty of open space, and that mountain air you can't get enough of. Bonus points for the igloo-like domes and how dog-friendly the whole place is. Highly recommend if you're looking for great beer, relaxing vibes, and a little sunshine.

    I came here for a concert last week with my friend and we had sucha good time. This is a true beer garden. There were three spots for beer. One inside that had tons of draft beers, seltzers and sours. There was one booth near the stage selling a couple beers and a seltzer and then one other tent selling just beer. They had a variety of food trucks during the show including a taco truck and pizza truck. The venue itself is so cute. It's not too big where you feel drowned out by people. Intimate and chill vibes. Lots of open area to sit or stand to watch the show. Bathrooms are either sanihuts or two inside the small bar area. I would definitely come back here for another show. So fun

    Absolute favorite spot to grab beer in SLT. They have an incredible selection on tap and a variety of food trucks to choose from if you are hungry. Our favorite is the pizza truck. Check The Hangar's website for each trucks schedule. Select areas (off of the turf) are dog friendly and there are plenty of spots to park your bike. During the Summer months it can get crowded and the parking lot can fill up.

    All beer no wine or cider. They had a good pizza food truck outside. The vibe is cute, definitely a good spot to check out. We were given a recommendation for a good wine spot from the guy working there.

    Our normal, a flight allows us to try several beers while floating around trying multiple spots around town without becoming polluted.
    Charon R.

    Edit: Back the next night for two pints and a pizza. Great service and everything delicious! Absolutely delicious IPAs, quick service, and a fun outdoor space. There were two food trucks on site although we were headed to dinner later so we didn't eat here. Loads of seating outdoors under the pines and in the shade. When we were there part of the outside was set up for a wedding reception. Nicely done and still plenty of space for walk-ins like us.

    I love the location, great selection of beers, and a nice bartender. We were hungry and would have loved if Melt truck opened but it never did. We will try again in the summer months. Looks like a great place to see live music

    The hangar is cool little spot in South Lake Tahoe for craft beer enthusiasts! It got a small little serving area inside with some couches and tall table for those who like it indoors and outside there are lots of picnic tables and areas for groups- including see through igloo-like domes with picnic tables and space heaters inside for the real outdoor beer drinking enthusiasts! Also located onsite are several food trucks. The staff are helpful and kind (great service) and the crowd is great!

    Looking to just grab a local beer, my husband and I ended up coming to South Lake Brewing Company…read moreon a Wednesday afternoon, a little before 3:30 pm. South Lake Brewing Company is located in the same plaza as Target, with plenty of parking available. South Lake Brewing Company is also dog friendly for those traveling with their pups When we walked in through the back entrance, we were greeted by an employee. After looking over the menu, we ended up ordering: Pilsner, $8- My husband ordered this one for himself. He liked it and had said he would order it again. Not really big on beer (although I do like German beers), I didn't have any. 2 Towns Huckleberry Cider, $8- I ordered this cider for myself and I thought it was fantastic. The sweet flavors of the huckleberry was prominent and excellent as a hard cider. --------------------------- (Total= $16) After my husband paid, the employee helping got our drinks right away. Then we just sat in the corner inside to just enjoy and relax for a while. The place itself was pretty empty, although a small amount of traffic was coming in. The brewery inside was pretty clean and so were the ladies' restrooms. Outside there was a corn hole for those that wished to play and also it was nice that there was some shade as well. If I was a local, I would definitely come back.

Thanks for the convenience. Even though you are only a block from the Heavenly Gondola, my wife was nice enough to drive to pick me up. So many conveniences. Fairly simple menu that is done well. The beer was good! Got the two best IPA sellers. Angora House WC IPA and Fog Nozzle Hazy IPA. Both of which were smooth, too smooth; I could have drank even more. Well I did, as we went to South of North Brewing for more beer! See other review. I almost got a flight here, just to get it on a ski board. It was very cool; see my pictures. As for lunch, we got the following: Sticky Fried Chicken Sandwich - Made to order. Good quality, but a little small and did not come with fries or chips. In summary, tourist prices, lol. Wings - Pineapple BBQ flavor. Good size wings. Order of 8 for $20; again, tourist prices, lol. Overall the food was good and complimented my beers well. Specials available. Kids menu. Ambiance - Decent size location. The place still looks new; I like your decor. See pictures. Indoor and outdoor seating, see pictures. Cornhole outside. Lounge, table, and bench seating. We sat at the bar for the best service, otherwise it would be counter service as the bartender was the only front of the house employee. After lunch, I opened a tab and we took our beers outside to enjoy the beautiful day and the live music from across the street. Open 7 days a week from Noon to 9pm. Plenty of 2 hour limit mall parking. Well it is the off season now. Events, food trucks, Thursday Trivia, etc - See their website. Service - Good. The bartender did a good job handling both us sitting on the bar and ALL the counter service. And she still had time to let me try a few tasters. Self service water, utensils, etc. Price - $62 + tip. Expensive for what we got. Beers were $9 each. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2003 and 2017 at this location.

    I went here with a few others on a warm July Friday night and it was poppin'! It was super busy,…read morealmost all the tables outside were full between here and the cocktail place next door --which I guess the outdoor patio area is a shared space? We had to go inside and ask where we were allowed to sit because there wasn't any signage that indicated a shared space vs. one building's/another's. This space is kid friendly and dog friendly so expect an overwhelming amount of both. They had overflow seating way in the back, somewhat in the woods in a tanbark area - which was basically empty but far away from the stage so it was hard to hear the music as you face the back of it. Yes, music! I actually specifically chose this spot on this evening because I wanted to hear some country music. I literally just googled and found the Tahoe live music page that shows which artists are playing when and where. The group did some classic covers. We sat facing the band but towards the back tables closer to the parking lot. It was loud enough to enjoy without the ear-piercing decibels when you sit right in front. Also, speaking to previous reviewers, this is Tahoe (not the Bay Area), so it definitely has a more casual vibe, and the type of place is in the name, you know? Anyways--so in terms of the ordering system, the way it works is you find a table FIRST, then someone from your party goes to get in line and order food inside. I believe there were multiple spots where you could also get your beer card if you weren't ordering food, but I'm not fully confident on that. The physical menus (up to date) have a QR code that links to an old menu (not up to date, from 2019 I think it was?), so watch out for that - because I tried to order a speciality pizza from what I saw on the QR online menu and that's no longer available. You can also find the updated version of the menu online - so maybe, AleWorx, if you read reviews, you can update the hyperlink. Waiting in line took about 20 minutes. They have menus available to look at while in line, so I wish people didn't wait until they're standing in front of a staff member to start pondering the menu. The beer card is a cool concept, I've seen it once before in another city. You put a credit card on file and get a blank key card for the tap wall. You have to place the keycard in the specific beer's card slot horizontally and leave it in there until you fill up your glass (found on the lefthand side of the taps). The idea is you can serve yourself however many ounces you want and you pay per--so you could try a taster of a whole bunch before figuring out what to get a glass of. On that night, they had mostly beers from their own brewery but also a few from other locations, including cider options, a hard seltzer, and sangria. After you order food, you get a number and tell the staff member where you are sitting so they can bring food out to you when it's ready. I think we waited about 15 minutes? Not sure, but it felt quick. All the staff members we interacted with were friendly and helpful. Pizza itself came out charred quite a bit around the crust (which was a bummer because I couldn't eat those parts and crust is my favorite) but overall had amazing flavor combinations. We had the Mora and the Supreme at our table and enjoyed both. It's definitely wetter in the middle depending on your toppings so I folded the bottom half of the slice upward to keep it all together. It was super filling so we ended up grabbing some boxes to-go with leftovers. We oven toasted the next day and it held up--still delicious! You have to go inside the building over by the tap wall area in order to checkout with your blank beer card. I wish you didn't have to go back in and close out. The other place I referenced has key card drop boxes with different tip amounts on it. It is definitely easier and more efficient but I guess maybe people like to see and confirm their final bill? I've never been to the other locations, so I cannot speak to them, but regardless, this one at the Y was a really nice evening!

    If you have a big crowd, this place works (lots of tables, live music, lots of shareable foods),…read morebut I wasn't very impressed with the service and found the food expensive for the taste (tourist tax is definitely applied). I liked the beer cheese nachos and found this most 'worth it' for the price, given they are served with generous toppings. Cheese could have been spread around more since its more piled on top, but the chips were crispy and I loved the addition of black beans. A great shareable, or a large entree! For the pizzas, I tried the Mora (blackberry) and the Avventura. The prosciutto diparma were little salt bombs that overpowered the pizza in my opinion (I was expecting the thin slices of prosciutto tbh, they're kinda curled up and hard as they're baked in the oven and super salty), I could barely taste the blackberry (and a warm blackberry is kinda ehhh, I thought it would be more in the sauce). A cool concept, but I was definitely left disappointed with their execution.The Avventura was better, and I liked the red sauce in it. Crust/dough was mid overall. The beer wall is a cool concept, as it is pay by the ounce, but I wasn't the biggest fan of any I tried (the cider or strawberry sour, obviously I'm not a big beer fan haha). Also, the thing that soured my experience was the attitude of the cashier when we first ordered. I get it, it's summer and it's super busy, but he was very curt and had such an attitude, it kinda blew me away. After ordering, he informed us it would take 45 minutes for the food to come out, and "not any faster", as if we were going to argue (we weren't! we had a big party too and expected this!). I'm guessing he had some bad customers before us, but it is sooo unprofessional to act like that to more customers after. ALSO!! Our food came out in 20 minutes!! So it wasn't even that bad of a wait. I was baffled and his comments stuck around our party like a bad smell. Sooo yeah, don't recommend, there's other places that serve mid and expensive food around here to try instead without the bad service.

If you want outdoor seating I would recommend you go early as it fills up very fast and anything over two people will be hard to get in.
