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

I was strolling and exploring the Village with my dog & shopping at little boutiques. While walking…read moreI heard loud hip hop music which caught my attention, so decided to go in for a drink. 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.

Only go if it is early in ur wknd plans. THEY CLOSE AT…read moreMIDNIGHT?!?!?!?!? seriously this is California and bars close at 2a not pumpkin midnight. 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.

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

The vibes inside are great for both small or large groups - but definitely more of a lounge style which I loved! They had quite a few couches & seating areas. I got the sangria flight, which was a little sweet for my liking, but they had a good variety of drinks on their menu (including some wine slushies). I'll have to try something else next time!

If you're looking for a meal in Big Bear that feels like a warm hug with a view, De La Nonna…read moreabsolutely delivers. Even in early April with 50* weather, there were plenty of heaters and fireplaces to keep you warm. The lakeside sunset alone is worth the visit--golden light dancing across the water--but somehow, the experience only gets better from there. Our server Denise was genuinely outstanding, with a special shoutout to Chef Rochelle for a warm, welcoming greeting that set the tone for the evening. As for the food... not a single misstep. The smoked trout dip was rich and comforting, the eggplant caponata completely stole the show (bright, balanced, and unforgettable), and the focaccia pizzas were phenomenal. The "Pepp" is a delicious but simple pepperoni pie and "Sicilian" is zesty, cheese-less, vegetable pie. And don't skip the cocktails. The Ol' Fashie is a smooth, beautifully crafted twist on a classic that's dangerously easy to enjoy. Between the view, the hospitality, and the standout dishes, De La Nonna isn't just a great meal--it's an experience. Can't wait to come back.

Really enjoyed the food--great quality. It's a bit pricey, and the pizzas are individual-sized, but…read morestill worth trying.

Brought the stroller in without any trouble, which is always a win. The atmosphere is what gets you first. There's a ton of cool decor to take in, and the menu has music-themed names for everything -- a fun detail if you're paying attention. Food was delicious and the beers on tap are a great selection to pair with it. Service was attentive and the vibe is comfortable for families without feeling like a kids' spot. It's just a good place, period. Definitely coming back.

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!!

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.
