I was here in the off-season, so it wasn't very crowded, which I prefer. Wonderful constantly changing draft craft beer selection 26 in total. (There are a few crappy beers on draft too, if you're into that.) The Reuben was great. Service a little slow considering the few people in the place, though I think the bartender was just being friendly and giving me some space. If you like whiskey, this is definitely the place to be. read more

Fun and welcoming vibe, affordable drinks for the area, and good happy hour specials. Had a good time playing their foosball and pool tables. Would go again. read more

This place is awesome! Relaxed atmosphere and amazing bartenders.

The place to go after a long day, the start to a night out, or just a place you want good beer and bourbon. They have music, games, locals with stories, and solid prices for drinks. Can't really beat that in my opinion. Also the guys that work here both behind the bar and in the kitchen know their stuff and aim to please. read more

Awesome Bartenders and great Happy Hour!! They know their beers and vast collection of Whisky's. Food on the menu is fantastic! Pool table and Foosball. If it's busy be patient, worth the wait. read more

The worst service I've gotten from a bartender . Skinny white dude in a trucker hat behind the bar got me a bottled beer and gave me my change back and as I was pulling out my card to tip him he says "they must not tip where you are from , expect great service asshole" . I was stunned and walked out with a group of mates not even touching the beer tainted by his attitude . Definitely going to contact management . read more

One of the best bars in Mammoth. and one of the only places to go if you don't like dance music or overpriced signature cocktails. Clocktower used to be only beer and wine but they recently acquired their liquor license and have a HUGE selection of whiskey and bourbons. If that wasn't enough, they expanded their menu and have Philly Cheese steaks made with Cheez wiz and Tater-tot nachos which are the best bar food in Mammoth. I'd give this place a 5 but it usually closes early (around 10 on weekdays and midnight on weekends) and the kitchen has random hours. I would love to get off work from Sushi Rei and be able to eat some food and have a drink! When this happens, you will get that 5th star! read more

The chef came and took our order personally--really great guy. Comfy atmosphere & kid friendly....BUT the food and drinks are hit and miss. My guinness came FLAT and the tots/chicken tenders, fish & chips all seemed especially greasy and lacking flavor. My fish tacos had piles of cabbage and some kind of interesting sauce on it, and of the things we ordered, we all agreed I'd gotten the best dish. My husband ordered the rueben, which came with dried out meat and stale chips. Meh. With a total of 3 beers and the food named here, our bill came to slightly over $60. Worth it? I don't think so. read more

I stumbled into this place because everything else was closed and was very happy with it. We were able to watch the football game and decided to eat food too. The burgers are phenomenal!! I came to mammoth for snowboarding and a my friends are asking me how my trip was and my highlight was this damn burger. OH MY GAWDDDD!!! It's a little dark and dingy inside but the service is decent and the bartender and crazy fast. The ambiance and decor is neat. One thing that bothered me was a gentleman right when I walked in carded me (I'm 25) and gave me a hard time and actually made it really uncomfortable at first. My ID is clearly me but he made a comment that I took my picture when I was 15 and I totally took my picture when I was 21. Maybe work on the approach of that. read more

The service was nice - The place was empty. The burger was meh - pretty dry. They insist on pushing tater tots but I don't quite understand why - Tater tots are blend and boring. Also giving it two stars because the beer I ordered (on tap) was flat. Stick to bottled & canned beer! read more

Best happy hour menu! 4-7 everyday! And you have to order the totchatos here! Uuhhhhhhmazing! Cool little local bar. We stayed at the lodge above, so it was super convenient to get snacks here. Try it out, they have a pool table down there and foosball table too. read more

Stopped in here due to a recommendation from a good buddy. The food was cheap and super good! portions are huge and you will leave stuffed!

Clocktower is AWESOME!!! I would say it is THE local's hang out. Only downside is that they close super early. Ton's of whiskey!

I loved this place very friendly people great prices. Fun fun fun. Get the beer and a shot ! Friendly bar tender!

Been here twice over the summer of 2016 and both times enjoyed a beer sitting at the bar with my son-in-law. A bartender named Kyler (hope I spelled that right) was there both times and recognized us the second visit even though it was about 45 days after our first visit. He's a very friendly guy and we appreciated his service both times here. I generally come here every time I visit Mammoth in the summer - which makes this something like my 10th visit, and except for one time when there was only one other person in the bar (a little boring), I've always enjoyed the place. It's really nothing more than a basic bar (hole in the wall in a way) but can still be fun and affordable to hang out in (really sometimes these can be the BEST places to hang out!). I've eaten the fish tacos here (visit 45 days ago) and thought they were fine for what the place is. So go in and enjoy yourself! read more

Love the Clocktower - it's the reason I miss Mammoth! Can't wait to get back!! Good times.

Best bar in Mammoth. Beer, beer, beer and a ton of Whiskey choices. Located across from the Village, at the Alpenhof Lodge, the Clocktower is our favorite. read more

Gooooooood!!! Definitely hit the spot. Good environment. Nom, nom, nom, gulp, gulp, gulp!

This place is what you make it. You want to get hung up on shi shi snobby ambience this place may not be for you. I happen to like and frequent joints like this, the staff was courteous and friendly. read more

A basement bar that looks like a basement rec room. That was fun, but their whiskey selection was more fun. Of the 100 to 200 whiskeys, most were Bourbons. The bottles were not super unique like the Bourbon bars in Kentucky where the selections look like a big wine list, but it's still an impressive offering in any other state. The whiskeys weren't just for show because the bartender was familiar with the sizable inventory. Of course like most places that are considered dive bars (not sure why Yelp calls this place a wine bar), the other customers just came for beer. read more

Really enjoyed this place I went and partied after a day of snowboarding, and randomly entered a raffle and won a snowboard! The bartenders were nice, and gave good service for how busy the bar was. Then the next morning I went and watched Sunday football there, and had breakfast. Great breakfast dishes, and they put the Browns game on for me. read more

It's in a basement. In California that adds A LOT to the cool factor. It's small, friendly and has a good vibe. Excellent happy hour prices. Tonight I had 2 fish tacos with a side of chips for $5.00. Excellent non-alchoholic beer!! And they have two choices Erdinger and Bitberger Drive. Thank heavens it's not Odouls! read more

Solid bar and really good food. The Whiskey/Scotch/Rye selection is second to none....about 150 different flavors! Bartender was a great guy, knowledgeable on the different flavors, Kyle I think was his name....solid guy! Can't wait for next trip up! read more

Good food and drinks. Congenial staff. Where it falls down is the atmosphere -- the lighting is so bright and and intense that it feels like an operating room. Enough to give you a migraine. Please chill the atmosphere folks. read more

Decor is great, service is great, and the best part, Best drinks in mammoth in my opinion. They have a great scotch and bourbon selection and this place is a favorite among the locals! If your in mammoth for the weekend its worth the stop! read more

Kind of a let-down... Went on a Sunday night with a group of myself and 5 girlfriends went for a drink and left before even finishing. The drink was off and the ambiance was stale. Would give it a second chance on a busier night perhaps. read more

The beer was cold and the French fries are great. That's about all we can say about this place. We went on MLK day and arrived at the start of Happy Hour. We had to ask the bartender about Happy Hour food specials and after searching for the HH menus she told us they had just started it and this was her first time to serve from it. Funny, we found out about it on the internet and she didn't know about it? Granted we were the only customers and she was getting her Bar set up but when you are served Fish and Chips and you have to ask for napkins, really? Then if I was a bartender and watched my only customers eating fish off napkins on the bar, I mean don't you think she could have offered a plate? Oh well, guess we won't be back. read more

Good happy hour menu with personable bartenders and servers. The bartender and cook are volunteer firefighters. However, watch out for deep fried chicken or fish. They operate their friers at 375 degrees (too hot). The result is that the food is well done on the outside and still might be raw inside. We asked about this and the cook said that he turned up the heat on the friers because it goes down too much when they're busy. read more

Guy in the dodger hat, bartender, needs a raise he's the coolest guy ever don't listen to the other people.

I went to the bar with some friends and it was the worst experience I've had in mammoth thus far. The bartender had a horrible attitude, and it was nearly impossible to get a beer. We went during NFL playoffs and they were playing some garbage ski trials and refused to turn the channel. To top it all off the place smelled kind of funny. Wouldn't waste my time here. Mammoth brew. co has more beers and better service. read more

Worst place in mammoth to hang out and drink. Very rude staff and the food is horrible.

I really like the new bar food menu. The prices are a little over priced for beer and whiskey. The staff is good. My only issue is that there are too many ski patrollers from mammoth mountain getting drunk and being dip sh2ts every, I mean every evening. Getting rid of the ski patrollers would do wonders for the atmosphere of this place. read more

Casual spot to get beers after hitting the slopes. The staff is really nice and down to earth.

been going here for years and i love it. kyler chris and ryan are the best bartenders in town and are always amazing! best whiskey selection ever! read more

awesome beer selection. great happy hour food (try the fish tacos). pool table and foosball are both legit. good vibe here. the house saki is priced well and a tasty addition to your evening. stoked on clocktower. read more

Great spot great vibes excellent drinks tons of whiskey great for kids to and highly recommend this place

This place is awesome. Bartenders are excellent as is the whiskey selection. Good bar food menu with prompt service. Bar crowd is a ton of fun as well. read more

Quite simply the.best.apres.ski.bar not only in Mammoth, but possibly the Greater Sierras. Observe: fantastic happy hour 4-7 with great beers, wines in tap and most importantly, some of the best bar food known to mankind (sausage and pretzel with kraut, fish tacos, Totchos...wow. Pool table, several foosball tables, lots of locals and bartenders that are actually bartenders...how refreshing. Even the bouncer is a great guy. Bonus: always some great characters in residence to talk with and challenge to pool, which makes the visit all the better. If you find a better bar with food, ambience and clientele to beat this one, let me know! read more

Been frequenting this place everytime we are in mammoth. Love the bartenders, excellent service everytime. Was very dissappointed with the way my husband and I were treated by a female bartender on monday 7/6. She treated us like trash. Ignored us, acted as though it was an inconvenience for her when we asked for refills. She was extremely friendly with all the customers sitting at the bar though. She never acknowledged us. Never smiled. Very very rude. When my husband went to pay for our happy hour food and drinks (which is daily from 5-8 & is great) she said we wernt there on time, (it was 8-17pm and we were leaving after having a few rounds of drinks and our meal) and when my husband asked her to double check her time stamp because we are ALWAYS in here...she ripped up the receipt and said ill take care of it and walked away. My husband said wait, I dont want a freebie, I can pay my way she ignored him and walked back into the kitchen. We were the only hispanics in the pubm not saying it was a race issue but she made us feel really stupid. She messed up our whole vibe of the place! We will continue to wine and dine there when in Mammoth, but if she is behind the bar, we will walk right back out! Very disgusted at her treatment towards us! read more

Earlier this year I made a visit to Clocktower and was enjoying the atmosphere. Me and a couple friends started a game of billiards, and one of my buddies went to buy a couple beers for us. As we were drinking our beers and playing pool, one of the ladies that worked there named Jenny came up to us and literally grabbed the glass of beer out of my hand and demanded my ID(sure I look young, but this is no way to treat your paying customers). Never have I had this happen to me before at any establishment. Everyone else was very nice and the atmosphere was awesome up until "Jenny" came up and caused a scene and honestly embarrassed me. We then finished up our game of pool and headed to the Mammoth Brewery which had this place's customer service blown out of the water. (had this review saved on my phone but never posted it on yelp, hence why the review is a year+ late, perhaps Jenny has already been fired or no longer works here.) read more
