We stopped in on a Tuesday night around 7 pm. Nice crowd, good vibe, solid beer choices. Two bartenders doing a great job, friendly and helpful. We ordered two burgers, one with tots on side and the other a side salad. Burgers were very good - we both got bacon blue cheese burgers. The bacon was crispy, the blue cheese not overpowering. Tots were crispy and good amount, side salad was surprisingly delicious - not the usual Iceberg lettuce afterthought. When we talked to the chef he was engaging and happy to serve - obviously took pride in his work. It's a dive bar, not a fancy spot, but fits the bill and a solid choice for good pub style food in Mammoth. read more

Plant based/Self imposed dietary restricted, tofu huggers will score a win here with the fresh spring rolls and thai dipping sauces! Super fresh, perfectly hot, spring rolls will be especially satisfactory on happy hour 4-5:30pm. read more

Clocktower cellar is a staple when visiting mammoth. From the constantly changing draft beers to the weekly drink specials you're always gonna have a great time here. The food is also surprisingly good and one of the better spots to eat in mammoth. The atmosphere is always fun but expect it to be crowded if visiting on a weekend or after a snow dump. read more

I've been going here since they opened in 1993. A cool, low-key vibe and easily the best beer/whiskey selection in town. The food is also really, really good. Lots of unique spins on traditional pub food. I must-visit on your next trip to Mammoth! read more

This pub is seriously so fun. I went with a large wedding party and we had a blast!! I love the dive-bar vibes, the bartender was great, and the drinks were well made! read more

Service was great, ambiance was a cool vibe, but the food was terrible. This is a great place to grab a drink. Eat somewhere else.

It was my first time making a trip to Mammoth Lakes and my friend and I stumbled upon this pub gem! We got there at about 6pm on a Saturday so it wasn't so busy yet (which I personally enjoy more), super cozy atmosphere, our bartender Possum (I hope I got that correct) was super welcoming and awesome, and they had a nice selection of draft beers & spirits. I ordered my first ever Guinness (have tried it before but never actually ordered one, been heavy into Guinness series on Netflix so was excited about that) and it was thee most perfect Guinness! I appreciate that they had touch tunes around the time we were there so was able to enjoy my dranks to some of my fav jams. Eventually as the night progressed more people started arriving and it did get much livelier and packed so it'd be mindful of that depending on what kind of experience you're trying to have. Overall, I definitely look forward to visiting again in the future and recommend checking this sweet pub out :-) read more

Cool spot to stop in for a quick drink. Bartender was friendly. They have a great selection of spirits and beer. Low key kinda dive bar. They serve food as well. We will see you next time we are up. read more

One of the only bars in town. Couple reasons it didn't get 5 stars from me is, there is a bar tender, redhair, she's very rude, not friendly at all, annnnd they close extremely early. Other places in town open later. Still a fun convenient place to hang out. Downstairs under alpenhof lodge. read more

Great ambience, I don't know what the other reviews we're talking about the bartenders were amazing. That said the website and Facebook are wrong, happy hour ends at 6 not 6:30 or 7. They were also out of the cider and Irish coffee. Good time overall though. read more

Stopped in briefly for a drink here with a large group! It is not large but has some personality and is a little funky. Kind of gives off someone's basement bar vibes. There are foosball tables (old school play with quarters), a TV, and I think a modern jukebox. I can't comment much on the drinks as I had switched over to N/A at this point, but I got a refreshing soda with lime and I think others enjoyed beers. I was a bit curious about some of their tables, which were embedded with what looked like random driver's licenses. Our guess is that they were confiscated fakes, which would be kind of hilarious. It's an option for a casual drink while in the Village area! read more

Even though the food tasted alright and the staff were wonderful, we got food poisoning from the dinner we had there.

Good beer fast service customer service could have been better other than that good time.

Lovely locals bar that has gotten crowded and laden with tourists over the years. Divey underground feel with fun games to induce drunken mingling. A fun, casual atmosphere. Totchos are a must. They don't serve food very late though which is probably why everyone here is wasted out of their minds by closing time. Agree with the other reviews that staff are no nonsense and rather unfriendly, but it kinda makes sense when you have to deal with a bunch of high flautín tourists all day. read more

I've been to Clock Tower Cellar multiple times and generally had a good experience, but my visit today was extremely frustrating. I'm 25 years old, and I've been served alcohol and entered the venue without issue on the last four occasions, even by the same bouncer. However, today, despite having the exact same ID, the bouncer refused me entry, claiming my ID was fake simply because it was new. What makes this even worse is that this bouncer has let me in before, and he was downright rude about the situation. He didn't even take the time to properly inspect my ID or ask questions. His attitude was dismissive and made me and others around me feel extremely uncomfortable. It's incredibly disappointing that a place I've enjoyed coming to has this kind of unprofessional behavior, especially when I'm a regular customer with no history of issues. I would suggest Clock Tower Cellar take a closer look at how this bouncer interacts with guests, as his approach is clearly turning people away--not just because of mistaken ID checks, but due to his rude and unwelcoming demeanor. I'm not sure I'll be back unless this is addressed. read more

Clocktower is the shit. I've been coming here since the 80's. Jess the bartender is the best. Robert and Kirk have done a great job with the bar, hotel and restaurant. I loved the 90's when they both were the bartenders. Great bar, great bar food, great jukebox, great pool and foosball. Get the corn dogs with the cheese sauce. Great to order if you're doing a juice fast like I am. read more

Pink hair Nicole and Possum took the absolute best care of us, how personable and fun of a place! Love it here, will be back solely for service although tatchos were phenomenal as well! read more

Updated take-out review. Food take-out took about 10 min to prepare. Not a surprise, but the Totchos were still a WINNER! If you're getting the Totchos to-go, get the cheese on the side and ask for extra crispy tots. Everything will stay crispier this way. I always ask for extra jalapenos as well. The jalapenos at Clocktower really pack a punch. Totchos have a nice crisp and are topped with bacon, sour cream, cheese sauce, and jalapenos. It's great finger food with a cold beer after a day in the mountains. I branched off from my usual tots and also tried the Mac and Cheese and Schnitzel Sandwich during my last trip to Mammoth. Mac and Cheese uses the same sauce as the totchos and was not worth getting. It was bland and not cheesy at all. Throwing some shredded cheese on top to give it that ooey gooey goodness and a tad more salt would have saved the dish. The Schnitzel Sandwich and fries were good and held up well as a take-out option. Sharing a Schnitzel Sandwich and Totchos is the way to go if you're feeling hungry. read more

Bartenders are bizarrely unfriendly here. Especially the little blonde dude - sons of anarchy, dwarf edition. Went twice during my stay at mammy as it was a fairly lively spot - but not that great. Pro tip for the employees: if you hate the out of towners so much who keep the local economy afloat, perhaps don't work in a customer service oriented job. Cheers read more

Extremely frustrating visit. Bartender was a complete ass and extremely cocky. Got annoyed with customers enjoying the music and turned it off. Poured an outrageous amount of sugar to replace the alcohol thinking no one would notice. Don't recommend. read more

Unfortunately I had one of the worst experiences at a bar in my life. There is definitely something very wrong with the blonde bartender, I hope she gets the therapy she needs. All I asked was to see the food menu and she turned to me and said "well you better hurry the f up and order because the kitchen closes in 10 minutes" she then gave me the menu and started mocking me for not turning the page to see the food menu basically calling me dumb. THEN she told me to "wait my f*cking turn" when I was ready to order. Never ever going back to this place. read more

Cool basement dive bar. We played pool, ordered food and drank too many Coors banquets. The bartenders were friendly enough, it was all quick service and order at the bar situation. the food was great! I had a smash burger and my fiancé had the Ruben food was quick to come out and hot! Definitely a casual and laid back environment, perfect for a group setting to meet up and go out. read more

Disappointed in bar service. Was hoping for quality time with friends but very rude bartenders ruined the experience. . read more

Wish I could give it 0. The bartender with the pony tail is a complete a$$. Watched him pour an entire jar of sugar into a shot and play it off like it was alcohol. Don't recommend. read more

I would give it zero stars if I could because the bartender with the tiny pony tail has an ego that takes over his bartending skills. Don't ask for anything other than whiskey or you'll be mocked and given a shot without alcohol and then asked to give 25% tip.. read more

Really cool local bar, friendly bartenders, lively crowd. Heavy pour. Not sure what else you could ask for. Thanks for a great time. read more

Clocktower Cellar Pub - had a great time here - Pubs Near Me - Mammoth Lakes, California

Fun dive bar in the town of mammoth. They serve a wide selection of beers, juneshine, and cocktails. The food is German inspired with lots of fried bar food and meats. The fried chicken salad was actually very good for a pub. The sausage platter had a good selection of mustards and sausages, I didn't love all the sausage but there was enough to choose from for everyone, with two pretzels included as well. Didn't try the schnitzel sandwich but the fries were good. Overall, decent food if you like German given it's more of a pub then a restaurant. read more

Place is easily one of the most fun bars in mammoth. It's very "bar" food menu so don't expect exquisite cuisine. But it's always packed with music playing and a big mountain vibe! read more

Great spot for a few drinks, some foozball and good bar food. Fun atmosphere to hang out after dinner for drinks and music. Get there early or you'll be waiting outside to get in! read more

Looks great for drinks- but pub food - if you like deep fried with no taste or trying to disguise old meat. Perhaps it's just not in being the mood for deep fried dried food. read more

Maybe because we were just a couple of dumb tourists looking for late lunch during a slow season, the bar was half filled with two to three bartenders/waiters and no one even bothered to look at us when we stepped in, never mind greeting. We didn't know if we should just head straight to the bar to order or sit down at one of the empty tables. Stood there looking like idiots for good ten to fifteen minutes with absolutely no service whatsoever and had to leave the funny smelling place disappointed. read more

Not a bad place for dinner and drinks if you don't mind a loud frat party atmosphere. The pros: - I ordered a glass of the Oak Ridge OZV Red Blend, and it was AMAZING. I loved it! - My lettuce-wrapped burger was very tasty, although I wished the onions were grilled more (truly carmelized and cooked to oblivion lol). - The chipotle sauce was incredible! - The employees were fast and friendly. The cons: - The place was packed and VERY noisy. It was probably 75% guys, and some patrons were wasted. It felt like being at a frat party! - I ordered sweet potato fries, but received regular fries. Decided to just eat them anyway. They were decent. read more

Really cool, basement style pub. Great food, great atmosphere, solid Paloma. The Australian woman keeping the bar was polite and friendly

Stopped here for a beer. It was the only place opened after 10pm. It was packed, lively, good music, and the service was good. We liked the beers they have on tap. We will definitely return. read more

This place is great to sit, drink, play cards, etc. Possom (sp?), bartender from Australia-area, was a fun add! Drinks are chea-er than everywhere else, clean and a cool vibe. My wife and I went there every evening for a couple drinks before dinner. Food was meh but that is what we found out was the case in most of Mammoth. Good bar food everywhere but nothing to rave about. read more

Awesome fun little place to hang out with your friends after a long day of shredding the mtn. =) or a great place to start off the night @. This place has pool tables, music blasting, plenty of pizza, different beers on tap, people are friendly & fun. Did I mention that there's also tons of beer caps on the ceiling near the bar? Bartenders are very nice & friendly..they also do not skimp on the alcohol here =) read more

This place was really cool. Was actually going to stop by last year but didn't have time. This time we played foos ball and pool. So fun! The bartenders are also really on top of it with their drink orders! read more

Incredibly rude bartender (blonde woman) who made me leave the bar because I have a service animal. Technically this is illegal, I tried to kindly explain I can't go anywhere without my service animal so I'd have to leave as well, and she just said sorry then you can't be here. Super disheartening uncomfortable experience. There was no other staff member or manager for me to speak with. TLDR; this is an ableist establishment. Don't come here. read more

Got their German Reuben to-go and, while it wasn't the best reuben I've ever had, it was structurally sound and what put it over the top was the pretzel bun! Oh.my.deity...that pretzel bun! The pastrami was solid and the mustard and kraut gave it great flavor. The fries that came with it were OK, but nothing spectacular. I wish I had the time or the energy to have stayed and checked out their superb whisky selection. The bartenders and the those at the bar were friendly enough and I definitely dug the "neighborhood bar" vibe of this place (especially since it is located in a nice hotel). The price for the sandwich was on par with most pubfare. Would definitely recommend checking out their 5-8pm happy hour and the pretzel bun reuben! read more
