Sawyer went above and beyond; seriously such a cool spot with even cooler bartenders. Will be coming back for more coors and more good times!

Fantabulous place, Jasmine was on point & the vibes are fun! Beautiful location too! Loved all the lush green views and lots of outdoor seats too!

Enjoying the shade, peace and quiet at my local watering hole. It's good to be home again!

Hands down, my FAVORITE dive bar in all of Nevada County. HUGE lawn (formerly an Olympic sized swimming pool) lots of shade and sunny spots, horse shoe, corn hole, covered deck, shaded deck, daily events such as local live music, trivia, karaoke, burlesque, open mic, annual 3 day music festival (both outdoor and indoor), etc, and host of private events such as weddings. Also, outdoor stage, indoor stage, 2 pool tables (free to play!), lounge area with a couch, tons of tabled seating inside and out, indoor games, outdoor BBQ grill (for special events)....the list goes on!! Super friendly staff and locals that frequent the bar! I've met so many amazing folks and made life long friends here. The owner, Lori, is the most kindest woman and really cares about her customers! This is my go-to bar to visit. Come on by and pay a visit!

The Dew Drop Inn is just a few miles from my house and they seem to have a lot going on there so my wife and I stopped by on our way home for a drink. I am sure this is a fun spot if you are a regular; however, as someone new to the area looking for a place to grab a drink I was severely disappointed and would not recommend it. My wife and I stood waiting to order a drink at the bar cash in hand, for a good 15-20 minutes only to be ignored by the bartender (she did not acknowledge us at all even after looking at us several times.) On the other hand she did not have any issues taking orders from people she obviously knew that came in after us or took orders from other people who were already there and were reordering another drink. Finally we got tired of waiting, feeling uncomfortable standing there, and being ignored so we left. Two thumbs down. If you have not been there before I recommend you keep driving by and go to another bar that actually appreciates new business. read more

The place has been around FOREVER, and used to have an Olympic size swimming pool in front, which is now just a huge lawn. (Not sure if they ever use the lawn for events, but it's big enough.

History

Established in 1900.

Our bar was established in this building in 1941, after a fire in the original building next door. The building was built in 1936 as the pool house for the Olympic size swimming pool, that is now our lawn. The original bar/restaurant/market/gas station is next door was established in the late 1800’s (and is privately owned), as are the small cabins that was was part of the inn.

Meet the Business Owner: Lori G.

Bought the bar with my husband Marcus in 4/17, after many years as a paramedic I needed a change and the bar was for sale! My family has been part of the music scene and my grandmother Millie bartended here for years.

She literally had to point at me and tell him, "He's the one ordering." While we were sitting at the bar (had to move because the overhead fans create a ridiculous wind tunnel at the tables), a Hispanic guy walked in. He was in a great mood, carrying a bag no bigger than a small basketball. The bartender immediately stopped him and said he couldn't have the bag in there, basically refusing to serve him. Since the guy was alone, he just left. It was a terrible look. Between getting blatantly ignored while standing right in front of the guy and watching how he treated the next customer, the bias here was obvious.

I tried the potato pancakes, which are hashbrowns mixed with cheese and garlic and onions on top with pesto sauce and eggs, and I must say that they were a delightful surprise, crispy and savory and worth every bite. My friends ordered the tofu breakfast burrito at Cuevo rancheros along with the bacon and egg breakfast at all said they were. We chose to share a three person mimosa, which includes a bottle of champagne and juice of your choice to accompany, and it was just perfect for our group. Our survey Anna was very busy, but made sure to check on us after serving the food and made sure that the food was served our liking and responded to every request we had. I would definitely plan on waiting in line on the weekends. They have a self-service waiting list and they will call you - inside or outside- when your table is ready. We waited a full 45 minutes on a Sunday around 11:00 am. Worth the wait, though!

Ambiance is rustic as you are in an old building near downtown but is roomy and clean with lots of seating. Food and drinks: Coffee and iced tea: both good and refills kept coming. Lobster Benedict- 3.5/5. Eggs were overcooked to medium. The hollandaise was spicy but good. Lobster was a little overwhelmed by the sauce and the potatoes needed more crisp and seasoning. Biscuit and sausage gravy with a medium egg- 3.5/5. The egg was perfectly over medium. The biscuit was light and fluffy. The gravy was good but it was ham gravy ...not sausage (just FYI). We would go back and try something different.

What a great place for a very nice meal in the heart of Grass Valley. Friends took us here and we…read morewere very impressed. The restaurant has a well established old world flavor to it. A bit kitschy in the decor but pleasant, spacious and very nice. The service was extraordinarily friendly, attentive and helpful. We felt like family were waiting on us. As we got menus right away there's a good variety of choices. Since the essence of the restaurant is Maltese I was particularly intrigued as I know nothing of that cuisine. We started with a cup of the soup of the day, a Tuscan bean soup, that was delightful. It was full of beans and fresh vegetables in a hearty soup base. Although a few choices in the salads and sandwiches sounded appealing I instead chose the Lamb Maltese pasta. On a bed of farfalle (bowtie) pasta it comes with lamb pieces and a slightly spicy red sauce. All very delicious and I found it to be a very tasty dish. The only downside was the lamb chunks were not the usual, long and oddly sized, plus very chewy. Overall it didn't really diminish the dish. While we all were quite content and full our server brought out an incredible array of amazing looking desserts that would wow anyone. Unfortunately there just wasn't an appetite left for it. However, I will remember that for next time. I will definitely go back to try other things. This is a wonderful place for a pleasant meal.

Bicycle Thief absolutely lived up to the hype! We ordered a half Brooklyn and half Phoenix pizza,…read morewhich was the perfect way to try two very different flavor combinations. Both sides were excellent--the crust had just the right balance of crisp and chew, and the toppings were fresh and thoughtfully put together. The real surprise, though, was the Caprese salad with peaches. It was so unbelievably good that we completely forgot to take a picture before it disappeared. Honestly, it's one of the best salads I've ever had. The peaches added just the right amount of sweetness, and everything tasted incredibly fresh and perfectly balanced. By the time we finished, I was completely stuffed, but my boyfriend still found room for the homemade Oreo and mint ice cream. I was too full to try it, but judging by how quickly it vanished, I'm guessing it was just as good as everything else we ordered. The restaurant has a fun, laid-back atmosphere that feels welcoming without trying too hard, and the staff was friendly throughout our visit. Bicycle Thief is absolutely worth the drive to Grass Valley, and we'll be making it a point to come back.

One of our two pizzas was well-past overdone, but they were gracious in replacing it. May have been an off-day, but the service was slow and it seemed like we were ignored, waiting 20 minutes (after we were seated) before being acknowledged. Probably won't be back for the pizza, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it an awful experience. The place was cozy and clean, and the seat was comfortable. They have a gluten-free crust option for those who shun gluten.

New owners are cowardly pieces of shit. Not only did the kick me out as an on site maintenance person slash bartender, I was also banned from the bar for life for no reason at all. I have a lot more to bitch about but I will keep it to a minimum. The co owners son Adam participates in cocain use and demeans woman.

This place is amazing! Great owners and staff, very welcoming, the atmosphere is fun and casual, nice hangout. With live music, karaoke, open mic, an outdoor stage and huge lawn area, and open pool tables, something for everyone.

I was with a family group celebrating a university graduation and we had checked out of our lodging spot, so I was on the hunt for a quiet place to have the call. After checking on a couple of other options, I walked into the National Bar. Success! Not only was it lightly populated at 1:00 on a Monday afternoon, but the atmosphere was oozing historic charm. It was just a pleasant place to be, let alone for what I was trying to accomplish. The bartender served me a tall glass of pineapple juice, which was delicious. I sat at a table in the larger part of the bar area and was getting connected to my call. At the last minute the client postponed so my careful planning to find the right spot was for naught. However, I enjoyed sipping my juice and soaking up the ambiance of the space. Dear Hubby ended up wandering in and finding me and we both sat for a spell I was able to check my email and catch up on anything immediate, which thankfully was minimal. It was a great place to take a break from wandering Broad Street, while still absorbing the charm of Nevada City. I'd certainly plan to stop in here again when visiting this special town.

We arrived a little early for our reservation and were taken to the bar to wait until our table was ready. Word to the wise, make a reservation as the place gets packed!

My only small nit is that I wish the bread was warm. *Stonefruit salad - this was delicious and very fresh *Scallops - absolutely delicious and perfectly seared and cooked! One thing I'll note is that the scallops are very very pricey at over $60 for 5-6 of them. I know it's super fresh and delicious, but this felt like it was overpriced. *Blintzes - we decided to finish with the blitzes for dessert, and these were delicious.
