Stopped in with the Bro in-law over the weekend and this was the BEST dive bar experience we've ever had. Food & Beer: burger, cheese steak, wings, and West Coast IPA - STRAIGHT FLAMES Hunter, our bar tender, his hospitality was AMAZING to say the least. Friendly, entertaining, and probably the coolest bar tender I've ever met to be frank. Thank you again for the great experience. You have a customer for life Brother. read more

Such a fun experience at Big Bear Mountain Brewery! Definitely dog-friendly AND kid-friendly, which is always a huge win for us. It was a gorgeous day, so we grabbed a spot outside and enjoyed the weather. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, and the staff was incredibly friendly. We were apparently way too hungry to remember to take pictures of the food but the portions were filling and we definitely left satisfied! The Blood Orange beer was really good; crisp, refreshing, and just sweet enough. I also HAD to try the Porch Pounder Rosé purely because of the name. It was a little tart while still sweet to me, but I'd absolutely drink it again. Good food, good drinks, friendly people, and a relaxed atmosphere. Definitely a fun Big Bear stop read more

Best craft brew in Big Bear. Cozy spot to hang out. Staff is always friendly. I can't speak to the food, but the beer, especially the pilsner is excellent. Stop by and support a local small brewery. read more

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! read more

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!! read more

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. read more

Big Bear Mountain Brewery - Side of building. - Pubs Near Me - Big Bear Lake, California

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. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

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. read more

We have a place close, and never ventured over. Stopped by for lunch on a Thurs afternoon and were warmly greeted! Def a quiet day there, but an awesome bar with a killer atmosphere that for sure needs to be visited again! Great beer options, killer burgers (I gotta go back and try their steak and cheese), and the friendliest owner/landlord that hung out and shared stories. It's too easy to drive by this place while going to town, but do yourself a favor and make the stop. It's worth it. Blood Orange hef with a burger is a combo that can't be beat, made and served by folks who care about their community and their customers. read more

Amazing service, amazing recommendations server was hot as well great smile shaved head Great food, great customer service 3 vibes all around chef can cook read more

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. read more

Still one of my favorite bars. They often have live music during the weekend afternoons; today it was a guitarist - the Stagehands. Cute, cozy atmosphere with fireplace.

Amazing spot in Big Bear. I've been coming to Big Bear Mountain Brewery for years and it never disappoints. The food is always quick, the drinks hit every time, and the whole place has this cozy home vibe that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. We came in for just a quick drink and bite, but the live performances had us vibing for way too long in the best way. All our jams, all night. Huge shoutout to Hunter, the bartender. He was seriously the best. Super friendly, rad energy, and made the experience even better. Wish I lived closer because I'd be here all the time. read more

On a very cold night while vacationing in Big Bear we stopped in for dinner. It's ascetically a great spot, warm, life musician but small and not a great menu. Everything on the menu is fried and greasy, probably was all frozen at one point. A canned/bottled soft drink is $6. (Non alcoholic). Must order from a bar Code, 1 Burger with Fries 1 order of 3 chicken strips and fries 1 Lemonade 1 Coke Guy brings your food and never comes back, yet they add a mandatory gratuity added in of 9%! For what? Total about $60!!! Felt a bit ripped off, considering it felt like we ate fast food junk. No real service and if you want water, get it yourself too. Unfortunately will go somewhere else next time. We did have some great meals while in Big Bear, this wasn't one of them. read more

Stopped in on our way out of town to this Big Bear Mountain Brewery. My guy wanted to try this place, which is small, hole in the wall, divey place that sells other brewery's beers. Smelled musty. Didn't try the food. My guy ordered the wheat beer. Me, just an ice tea. Wasn't feeling it. The atmosphere was blah! Service was ok, Stopped and now heading out!! read more

Been coming here for a long time and after today reminded myself to do a review. Service is always great! The owner is very friendly, personable and makes a point to speak with you. We've met him many times but today I went in with my daughter and he was entertaining her, giving her puzzles and making jokes the whole time while we were waiting for our food. We love that you can eat outside and people watch or inside with mountain feel and dim lighting. Inside is nice and they have local musicians play often. Food is good + good quality.

Stopped here before Oktoberfest. The hazy was so good! And we've tried many from other breweries! We also got the Cuban sandwich which was so yummy!! Lots of flavor. Trust me though on this one--make sure to get the fries with the spicy aioli dip...they're so good! Our server was so kind and thoughtful and split our sandwich for us because he had a feeling that's what we would want, and he was right:-) I could tell he really wanted us to feel well cared for and we did! Love this little gem, and will definitely return whenever we're in Big Bear! read more

This was a cozy brewery near our Air BnB in Big Bear. We stopped by for a drink. There was live music where you could request songs. The bartender was nice and informative. I ordered a cocktail flight: - strawberry margarita - blue raspberry punch - margarita - spiked fruit punch I didn't like the flight. The drinks were strong and I just didn't care for the flavors. The bartender did warn me it would be strong but I thought I would like the flavors. I should have ordered a beer. read more

Popped in for the first time just to check out something new and was pleasantly surprised. We were greeted and entertained by the owners son Hunter who has become someone we absolutely adore . We didn't eat anything but enjoyed various beers on tap and learning about the history of the building and how the Snow family came to own it . The decor makes for great conversation and has a small town feel vibe for relaxing . Music was on point for us that day too . Looking forward to watching this place grow and possibly expand. read more

The ambiance was warm and inviting. Everyone was so friendly. It was relaxing. The beer was so good. And we had the Cubano, it was so big and it was perfect. The right balance of savory and tart. This place is a hidden gem. read more

Amazing spot. My wife and I popped in for a quick beer and ended up staying an hour, chatting with the owner and other customers. Great conversation and family-like energy. The beer and aesthetic were great too. We will definitely make a point to visit this spot again when we are next in town! 10/10! read more

What a pleasant surprise. At first it felt a bit hole in the wall and yet the food was great and the staff was super friendly. Such a welcoming environment. They brought out a bunch of games for us to play and really allowed us to relax and get the "small town" feel, unlike many of the other more touristy, rushed establishments in the village. Really happy we stumbled onto this place. read more
