We loved the brewery
Schmunky C.

Big Bear Mountain Brewery was one of the highlights of my solo trip to Big Bear! I ordered the Cubano sandwich, and it was outstanding--fresh, flavorful, and perfectly prepared. The French fries were hands down the best I've ever had: incredibly crispy, perfectly seasoned, and impossible to stop eating. I paired my meal with a cold Blonde Ale and a Pilsner, and both were refreshing and complemented the food perfectly. What truly made this place special, though, was the people. As a solo traveler, I was hoping for an authentic local experience, and that's exactly what I found. I met some wonderful, friendly locals who made me feel genuinely welcome, turn. and dogs are allowed.. very laid back. made new friends!

Walked in on a Friday night for a quick bite to eat and some brews after our drive to Big Bear. It was quieter than we anticipated for being a Friday night. We didn't mind at all though, we were personally serenaded by Randy & Terry. They were so friendly and quite welcoming! They asked us for requests and they both sang every single one beautifully! We ordered a pulled pork sandwich, burger, a lime margarita and a blonde ale. The pulled pork was amazing in my book! Very flavorful and the buns were so soft and fluffy! My boyfriend got a burger and he said it was just ok. We LOVED the French fries and thought the chipotle aioli sauce was excellent. Overall a very friendly and vibey place to hang out!!

Not what I expected. They don't serve their own beer, they serve other breweries beers. Ambiance is cool, like being in a log cabin. Didn't try the food. Service was good. Will return some day if they start brewing their own beer.

Loved this place! So quaint! Rick is awesome and will make sure you have a great time! Love all the fun puzzles he hands out! Kept the whole family busy and entertained !!! A must place to visit when visiting Big Bear! Food and drinks are delish! Can't wait to come back!

We got there right when we opened and had a great time drinking their craft beers. The bartender was very friendly and the fries were so good!

This place was close and within walking distance from our cabin. The ordering process was easy and straight forward online. We were able to order, come in and get our food with ease. The environment is definitely very bar like and cozy. Loud but inviting. There's inside and outdoor seating available and staff is very friendly. Food is definitely bar food but it works for an easy meal. The bbq sandwich was packed with meat and shareable. The burger was good and the kids meals of chicken tenders and grilled cheese were ok. The cheese wasn't as melted as they like on the grilled cheese but it is what it is. Fries were good but salty. Definitely heavy on the seasoning. They gave us a lot of sauce so it was definitely nice to have with the fries. Definitely will be back for the drinks next time.

BIG BEAR MOUNTAIN BREWERY @ BIG BEAR Parking is available for only customers or will be towed! There is a couple spots available on the right side of the place. My friends and I came to Big Bear for the weekend and stumbled upon this spot. Live music, a selection of beers, and american food, we were excited to be here. This is a family owned business! There was live music and you were able to request a song from their list. The vibes were great, they also have an 18% gratuity required for everyone. The food was fantastic, it was a turkey sandwhich and it came out so buttery and crispy, with the BEST fries and two side sauces. My boyfriend is a huge blood orange fan so when he saw that it was a beer flavor he had to get it! We also got puzzles at the end of our meal and it was super fun to guess and play as if we were kids. I'd highly recommend stopping by here, I will be back! The service is incredible!

Bar to the left, tables to the right and towards the front.

We ditched the snow tubing dream after seeing how long the line was. Instead, we wandered into this cozy little spot -- think of it as your friend's rustic wooden cabin, only with a menu and a bar tab. A small fire was going on in the fireplace, and a live musician gamely took requests while the crowd gleefully sang along. The vibe was laid-back with an eclectic selection of songs that brought a sense of childhood nostalgia. QR codes are on each table, so ordering was easy. THE FOOD. - Wicked BBQ Sandwich. The pulled pork was juicy, tender, and had the right balance of sweet and tangy BBQ sauce. Swiss cheese melted over the meat pile, while the brioche bun, airy with crisped edges, held it all together. Seasoned fries accompanied this meal for a flavorful kick. - Cubano Sandwich. The crunch of pressed bread gives way to layers of rich roasted pork, cured ham, melted swiss cheese, mustard, and pickles. It's bold yet balanced. THE DRINK. - West Coast IPA. Unapologetically hoppy with a dry finish. THE PARKING. We pulled into the back lot, where parking was both free and stress-free. THE VERDICT. Great food, solid beer, and enjoyable live music. If we're ever in town again, we'll be sure to drop by.

Kind of like a margarita flight, but not exactly margaritas... Pretty tasty though!
Jay T.

We stopped in when they first opened for lunch and we're excited to check out someplace new. Small place, very cozy and rustic inside. Pretty limited food selection, unless you are ordering a burger, but the drinks are good and they have some very tasty beer selections! Our favorite part was the entertainment by Tom and Tom, great musicians, and a great couple of guys! We very much enjoyed our visit and we'll be back!

Loveeeee everything about BB Mountain Brewery! The service, the food, the live music, the kid friendly atmosphere!!! We had so much fun I forgot to take pictures of our food (shocker) but we had the Cesar salad, burger, chicken strips, chicken wings and pulled pork sandwich- all delicious and no crumbs left. We were given puzzles to challenge our brains while we enjoyed the fireplace and live music, everyone had a great time and we will definitely be back again!

Highly Recommended! The Cubanos, Cheese Steak ( melts in your mouth! ), the wings, and the crispiest fries you'll find anywhere! Thank you for the gourmet food and amazing hospitality. Sincerely, The Losers

This place would have to call a hidden gem. A spot that if you blinked you would miss it on your way into town. Been here a few times before for work related things and finally decided to try the food. The owners are super nice and the Philly cheesesteak I had with fries(prolly some of the best I have had with the fries), and the cheesesteak was pretty awesome. Service was fast friendly and very old school place with lots of history to check out as well.

Cocktail flight, beer and fries

I know there's a lot of people complaining about the ordering system but I think it's efficient and love it. Sat down scanned a qr code ordered and they delivered my drinks and food quickly. Drinks were good, loved all the flight options. We only ordered fries but they were good and the spicy aioli was great! Only thing I don't recommend is the spikef fruit punch definitely not a fan.

NIGHTLIFE REVIEW: Three different dance floors in different…read moreareas of the place with different vibes. We got there around 9:30 and the crowd was manageable . They actually did a good job not letting it get too packed. A little more of a ratchet vibe than I was expecting but still really fun! I think they have a cover starting at 10:00pm. Bathrooms were terrible!! There are two sets one inside and one outside one.

I've walked by this place loads of time but never came inside. Thursday's night and the World Cup…read morewas on. We wanted to watch the game before walking the strip during the night market. You would Think that the place would be packed as it's a sports bar and right in the middle of town. Well, it wasn't. They had the game on which was the reason we were coming to. First off, even though it wasn't that busy, they only had one bartender working the place. Bartender and server all in one. He was busy but sweet the whole time. Getting a drink did take a little while as he was trying to maneuver everyone's order. Good thing, the games was on all the television. It did pick up here and there but give or take about 10 people were in the bar. Surprise as it's downtown Palm Springs but wasn't busy. We had 2 pitchers of beer thinking it would probably be a little cheaper than getting a couple of bottles. Well, when the bill came, it was about 80.00 for the bill before tip. A little taken off with it but I guess it is what it is. Honestly didn't think it would be at least 40.00 for a pitcher but damn. Anyways, pricey for the drinks. The place wasn't that busy which we were surprised. And there was only one bartender the whole time we were there for the game. I'm sure it gets busy but honestly I think it's more of a tourist place versus the locals. As it is right in the heart of downtown. The locals know where to go instead.
