We saw this place while just driving by as it's not near any of the tourist centers, and decided to…read morecheck it out for happy hour. We were intrigued by the stained glass dome inside that was taken apart piece by piece and sent to big bear from a brothel in Paris, some Europe culture comes to big Bear, lol! It was a lovely area to sit and enjoy a drink and the happy hour prices were the best I've experienced in big bear, only charged four dollar for my beer! The brussels sprouts were delicious and the server was very friendly and helpful. I can definitely see us returning to this happy hour...

If you're a local looking to try new food, i wouldn't do it here. probably the worst thing i've…read morebeen served in god knows how long i had to send it back immediately after one bite and i never ever do that. went for my birthday, the live music was insanely loud in that tiny dining room too. you have to yell to speak to anyone. and our waitress was extremely inattentive, sitting in peoples laps and chatting while i was waiting 30 minutes for my NEW meal after waiting 40 for my original meal. and she didn't even retake my order she disappeared, my friend went to order from the bar for me otherwise i wouldn't have eaten anything that night. the new meal i got eventually was frozen fried fish and decent fries. my friends during all this had ordered drinks and she never put the order in for them and once we reminded her she slapped them together in 2 minutes herself not even the bartender. the ONLY thing id say is maybe getting an appetizer, maybe. and some wine. that's all. the only thing redeemable is that they gave me some cheesecake for my birthday, it was clearly cisco frozen cheesecake but i'm not complaining it was free. the waitress felt bad, but considering it was my first experience as well as all of my friends, it left a bad taste in our mouths almost as bad as the salmon dish.

Got up to Big Bear today for a long Weekend, and after a long day we were just craving really good…read moresalad and a beer for my man! So very glad we chose Oakside. It's, um, March 19th and we sat on the rooftop outside! Yup! Great ambiance with a view of entering Big Bear and the beautiful moon tonight. Shelby, the manager, was super friendly, sweet and helped us with our meal and Kalley was such a pleasant, high-energy waitress who were both great. Salads- well - hit the spot and more!! Jeremie's Caesar salad was topped with delicious and juicy chicken, flavorful house made croutons and Caesar dressing. Side of garlic bread- yum! Mine! All the treats! The kale apple bacon salad- minus the kale (because I'm just a romaine kinda gal). Sweet dried cranberries and green apples, perfect feta crumbles and bacon, with this amazing apple cider vineagrette! And that superb touch of garlic bread. (I could have eaten a whole loaf). I'd like that dressing in a bottle please! We didn't stay long bc we had people arriving, but will definitely be back. Thank you Shelby and Kalley for great service and delicious salads that hit the spot! Few times we've been up here so far and we haven't found our spots yet, but you're one now!

Started out, heading to a different venue, learning however, this town closes early and I mean…read moreearly! Here is my story On one hand, my journey to big Bear Valley was defeated because snow was scarce. And, I had to learn how to find the bald eagles. That is my preference now on to oak side I'm guessing Oakside as the place to go locals and visitors alike. Street level is patio dining upstairs second level is covered and rather dark. Food menu is what anyone can expect from a local pub restaurant diner Same thing can be said about their alcoholic beverages or their non-alcoholic alcoholic beverages You do need to check in with the gal downstairs if you want to sit on the street level patio dining. Otherwise walk up the stairs and sit at the bar. Food was decent. Service was excellent. If I'm ever in the area again.(I'm sure I will be) I definitely stop in again

While remaining respectful, I love it. Bartender was kind and remembered our order after only one round of drinks, even though there was several other people/tables being served that day. Restaurant is big and clean as well as the restrooms. Definitely recommend stopping by! Thank you, gabi

It was big and I thought I couldn't finish it but it was so good that I did. I also loved that they were pet friendly so I got my dog 2 patties (each $4) and she enjoyed it Ambience: there's indoor seating and outdoor patio seating which overlooks the street and lake behind. I really enjoyed sitting outside. Service: was A1. I should've got my servers number but he had glasses and a beard, I think medical and tall with dark hair. He was awesome. Very friendly and attentive. I was also contemplating between 2 beers so he brought out both for me to sample out. This def heightened my experience here I was actually craving a burger so I yelped for 30 min and bookmarked 4 places and kept going back and forth indecisive of where to go, but finally decided to come here and so glad I did. Overall I really enjoyed everything here today for lunch. So much that I recommended it to my friend who has a cabin here. And will recommend to other friends who visit big bear. I will definitely come back.

Food came out quick - just no frills. About what you'd expect but nothing more. Steak was overcooked but portion sizes on everything were fair. Nice that they are open late, I'd come again. PS there was a 3% "ccf" charge added to my bill, I assume it was a credit card fee. Would have been nice to get a heads up about it, or maybe it was written somewhere but I missed it but it definitely caught me off guard.

Wait staff was nice and helpful and plenty of parking. Walking distance to the main strip in Big Bear Lake. We got there right before 8pm and they stopped serving food shortly after 8pm. Lots of fun bar activity and karaoke going on. We probably won't go back for dinner but may return for drinks some time.

The salsas are outstanding. One a bit spicier than the other but nearly impossible to choose a favorite. We ordered the chicken and steak fajita combination with black beans and rice with corn tortillas. The fajita arrives on a sizzling cast iron skillet with generous amounts of grilled onions and carmelized red peppers. We rounded our order out with their house guacamole. The guacamole, itself, could have used a bit more salt but the perfectly salted chips helped solve that. The margaritas are dangerously good. And the mix they use tastes fresh and house made. I loved that these were served with dehydrated lemon wheels and a sprig of thyme. Pablo took excellent care of us and we will 100% return.

I ordered the apple tart which was really good. Service: A1. The bartender Armando was so friendly and welcoming. Also told me to come back because it gets busy from 7pm-12am (I went on a Friday). I really liked his vibe and the vibe of the bar overall. Ambience: it's clean and seemed organized for a bar. There's games there and a pool table. Everyone was so friendly. I had a few people talk to me and gave me some tips and recommendations on where to go in Big Bear, as I'm not from there. I also liked that they are dog friendly. I saw 3 other dogs there too. I would definitely come back & recommend this place to my friends.

They were literally turning people away at 10p due to capacity (it is small) but then last call 90 mins later while people were still lining up outside. RIDICULOUS. people want to party and have fun while on vacation, there is no city ordinance that says they have to close at midnight. It is a fun place IF u get there before 8p and understand it will be a very very very early night. I guess nobody wants to make money.
