Gaviota's has quickly become one of my favorite places to spend an evening in Incline Village…read more The vibe is exactly what you'd hope for from a speakeasy, comfortable, intimate, and effortlessly cool without taking itself too seriously. It's the kind of place where you can settle in for one drink and suddenly realize you've spent the entire evening catching up with friends and meeting new people. What truly makes Gaviota's special is the staff. Tess, Chantel, Alex, Jess, and Shawn are all incredibly talented behind the bar and genuinely friendly people. They know their craft, make excellent cocktails, and create a welcoming atmosphere that keeps locals and visitors coming back. You can tell they genuinely enjoy what they do, and that energy carries throughout the entire space. The live music on Friday and Saturday nights adds another layer to the experience and makes it a great destination for a fun night out. Whether you're stopping in for a date night, meeting friends after dinner, or looking for somewhere to listen to live music and enjoy a cocktail, Gaviota's delivers. We recently hosted a birthday gathering there, and the staff couldn't have been more accommodating. They welcomed our group, allowed us to bring in a birthday cake, and helped make the celebration feel special. It's those little touches that make a place stand out. One of the things I love most about Gaviota's is that it feels like a true local hangout. Chances are you'll run into friends, neighbors, and familiar faces every time you visit. It's become a gathering place for the community, and that's a big part of its charm. Great cocktails, fantastic bartenders, live music, and a welcoming local crowd....what's not to love? If you're looking for one of the best places in town to relax, socialize, and enjoy a great drink, Gaviota's is absolutely worth a visit.

Much like the location, this place was warm and had a heartbeat that was immediately noticeable, with lots of locals chatting with each and the staff about the day, watching the games, and enjoying beers and some unexpectedly good food too. Family friendly taproom restaurants are always appreciated, and we were stoked to land here during our staycation. As mentioned, the menu goes beyond the basics and we ended up selecting the fried brussel sprouts, pork belly sliders, house chili with cornbread, and the shrimp tacos. Overall, the food was good, which was appreciated considering the pricing in the area. That said, I was expecting a bit more. The tacos were tasty but very basic and not worth a second visit. The brussels had a nice sauce, but they were somewhat overfried and the portion could be bigger. The chili was good too, but nothing super special. The sliders were the real winner (and made me realized I should've ordered a burger) with a nicely seasoned patty topped with a slice of braised pork belly, which wasn't quite as tender as I'd anticipated from the description. Again, all in all, solid eats, but left me feeling burgers and pizzas were the play. Still, Alibi is a highly recommended visit in Incline Village!

My boyfriend and I stopped by after a BEACH of a hike from incline village, and we were pleasantly surprised to find an assortment of cocktail slushies that were all $10 and under. There was quite a long line to order food but no line for drinks, although it still took ~10 minutes to get our order, and it was a bit hard enjoying them with the bees and birds pecking at fallen scraps at their outdoor tables. Nevertheless, I highly recommend checking them out for a quick and convenient pick me up/refresher that won't break the bank!

Yep, food prices are elevated here, but consider you're at a resort beach at Lake Tahoe, world tourist destination, it's not so bad. Trick is come not on a Holiday weekend or even a weekend, come up mid week but still get here early. The food here is decent, I mean for a beach snack bar. They do have burgers and ready made foods available as well as shakes and drinks. I spent a little more $$ than normal on my lunch, but what the hell, you're on super vacay up here at the beach. My double cheeseburger and fries added up to almost $20. I brought my own drink ... which is my tip, bring your own drinks in a little ice chest. THe food was actually pretty good and have no complaints. I'm just happy they have cooked food available here at the beach.
