F yeah! I went to this place last year while hanging around Lone Pine before climbing The Mountain and it is dope. Seems Lone Pine is the stopover point between Las Vegas and San Francisco/Los Angeles for Europeans doing their Grand Tour of the States so this tiny desert town is chock-a-block with Italians and Dutch, French, English and all sorts of others and they all congregate at Jake's Saloon. Of course there are reasons they all gather here and not at The Pizza Factory (although The Pizza Factory is also a Great Discovery). Drinks are reasonably priced and the beers are actually fairly diverse in what you would expect to be a Bud/Coors/Miller town. Also this is where my friends discovered the amazing bar game of shuffleboard. And the place isn't too crowded so you can pretty much hog this and the pool table all night if you want to. read more

Dunno where the hell the good reviews for this place come from. The barman BARKS at you for IDs when you walk in and then gets antsy when you want to see what beers they have. Not everyone knows exactly what you serve, man. He reminded me of some reject from the army who collects memorabilia in his basement dungeon. The place is loud, plays crappy I Love America country music, and the graffiti all over the walls basically tells you that it probably used to be the hot spot of Lone Pine back in the 90s and it hasn't moved on from that era since. If you're in Lone Pine you're there after a) a long drive or b) a long hike. Even if you want to let loose and not go to a quiet relaxing place (like the cracking, brilliant Double L down the street) this is not the place. No one likes to be antagonised and then have to sit there sipping the overpriced beer you just bought for the next 20mins. Redneck craphole. Go to the Double L! read more

Awesome Bar in Lone Pine that was happenin' throughout the evening. I would love to give this place 5 stars, but their one fault is there is NO hard liquor. I don't know if this is a town ordinance, or the bar itself, but, either way, you can only get beer and wine here. But, aside from that, it is fantastic. Beer was good, crowd was lively, music is playing but is not overbearing so you can still carry on a conversation with people. The place has a shuffleboard table, two pool tables, ping pong, and a digital dart board. Everyone was having fun. The decor is great and divey with a western flair. If you want a couple drinks and a fun time with your group while in Lone Pine, come here. read more

We were driving down from Big Pine on a Sunday morning and I was "5 Star thankful" for a legitimate, local, non-sleazoid saloon that was showing the Seattle Seahawks game on one of several TV's. Woo-hoo!! So, while my husband rode his bike up to Whitney Portal, I enjoyed a coke at the bar with some super friendly folks. Quite a large place with a Pool Table and Ping Pong - enough room for a band and a great time. read more

Jake's Saloon - Nice big area - Bars Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Nice spot to take a chill from fast paced life and step back in time to the wild west. Jakes Saloon in Lone Pine, Ca ,is a conveniently located In town center walking distance to hotels and restaurants. Great stop for a cold beer, glass of wine. Didn't think it could get better but now serving liquor. Where I go when I want to chill. read more

As far as Saloons go, this is it! Perfect layout, large pool table area with at least one ping pong table..hand made! Some of the coolest lamps hanging from the ceiling I've ever seen, an awesome unfinished mural on the ceiling...TVs for sports! The best thing is that you have to walk through swinging doors to get in! read more

Abslolutely fabulous saloon, with very friendly regular customers and super friendly staff. Its pretty sketchy wild wild west/cowboy/biker style with lots of 1$ pinned all over the place and also tags and sort of memo graffiti's. If you ask bartender you can leave your mark on the walls. We had a blast with some locals who were really friendly and mood was really good. Will be back again! read more

Jake's Saloon - Bars Near Me - Lone Pine, California

Jake's is a small town western style bar that only serves beer and wine. It has two pool tables and a ping pong table. We wanted to drink and socialize a bit. There were six patrons drinking beer when we arrived. We are locals but not regulars to Jake's so that might be why Beverly the bartender was unfriendly to me and my wife. We only drank 1/4 of our beers and left. We will return when a different person is behind the bar. read more

I Love local bars, (I'm a bartender in one). Service was ok. Ordered a beer from a very unenthusiastic, clearly bored bartender. We were going to stay and order more but we noticed the big confederate flag hanging inside over the door. Really not cool. Left immediately. read more

We walked in during the quiet hours and so therefore only a few people were around. This place seems to be a good watering hole as it has decent brews. No food. We were hungry!! Decent beer and the bar tender gave a great food recommendation that made the night. We will probably be back as its the only watering hole in the town. read more

Fun on Main Street. Pool. Shuffleboard. Lots of crap on the wall with local charm. Great beer choice. It is fun to come here and hangout. Real deal bar. Not a tourist trap fake bar. read more

Several of my friends and I spent a fantastisk friday evening here. We truly enjoyed the bar tender Gary. It's always good to have someone welcome you into there home like he did... I really don't think that in the middle of a VERY busy time, did we have to wait more than a few minutes for our drinks... Then we went back on Saturday and what do you know, we even had an old time gun fight right in the middle of the bar.. sadly I was the first to die... And the band ROCKED until after 1..... I know that when we return next year, Jake's is where we will be.... read more

We loved the environment here. They have lots of entertaining decorations, shuffle board, ping pong, and pool. The beers were a good price and the bar tender was very helpful. read more

Here's El Cazador with my 3rd annual review of Jake's Saloon. Spent two evenings there drinking beers and playing table shuffle board. Same mellow vibe as the last two years EXCEPT this year the town chain-smokers were present. The place fills up with smoke all evening. You smell like you walked through a forest fire the next morning. Otherwise, same spirit and friendliness. read more

Horrible Service, Rude. Not welcome feeling when me ans my buddy entered. In small town like Lone Pine people should be friendly no matter what ethnicity the potential customer is because that is a tourist area and a lot of people passing. Sure in the hell wont be going back to that place. read more

Bummed my namesake saloon turned out to be a such a disappointment. Had one round of beers and played some pool and the bartender stiffed us when we settled. read more

Me and my gal checked Jake's out on April 14, 2017 in the early evening, hoping to absorb some local flavor. Not much happening here, except a couple locals hanging out and the bartender complaining about the Yelp review (on 4/10?). We were disappointed that there were no spirits sold (only beer and wine) and the selection of beer on tap was pretty meager. Played some shuffleboard and left after two rounds. Can't say this place is bad, but it's not that interesting, either. Next time we're in town, we'll try another bar and see if it's more memorable. read more

Jake's Saloon looks great from the outside, and well, the clientele look even better. I saw the most beautiful man sitting on a bench in front of the place at around 6p.m., on Saturday, June 9th, 2012. An athletic surfer wearing board shorts and leather flip flops. There were also 3 amazing-looking red off road jeeps parked out front on the highway. I'd stopped my car for a cappuccino next door. (nice cup o' joe) It'd been a long road trip from L.A. on my way to a friend's Whitney Portal cabin. read more

The saloon is stunning, exactly what you expect in a very nice one. It sounds well managed and also very friendly. They have very very cold beer with the frozen glass . A huge plus when it's 50 degrees outside. A nice pit stop . read more

great little pit stop, nice little bar to goto and play pool. Bartender wasn't nice at first to newcomers but warmed up a little through the night. read more

Meh. The atmosphere is friendly and chill. They have the standard bar games, but also have ping-pong, which is a nice touch. I ordered a Mojave Red, and it tasted like Blue Moon. The temperature of the beer isn't what I prefer; it seemed just a tad on the warm side. How can one walk into a "saloon" and not be able to have any whiskey or brandy? The beer and wine only keeps this place from getting three stars out of me. Charming, but that's about it. read more

Becky, the barkeep, is so personable and hospitable. We came in after the Badwater Marathon along with other runners including the winner and Becky was so nice to chat with. The atmosphere is very warm and strangers become friends here. read more

You get what you think you're getting, which is a good pub with no frills- just cold beer. Chill atmosphere. No hikers. Locals. Draft beer. No food. read more

On the way back from Tahoe my Tesla decided to not make it to lone pine Wich I did stop in topaz to charge. Pulled over on the side of the road .9miles from the charger . CHP was so nice and helped us get to the charger safely. While we where waiting to charge me and 2 beer decided to look for a beer. It's Sunday 10.30pm. Probably the only place openned. Man the nicest people you will meet. Super friendly, great conversation. I will definitely stop by again. read more

I'd like to say we enjoyed a drink in here, but we're never even made it in because of dodgy looking guys standing around outside staring me down when we were walking up. Walked right past. I've no problem with folk hanging around outside but don't all look at me like I'm not welcome in there, because you can be sure I won't enter. read more

Small selection of beer but it was cold and tasty! Service was excellent fast and friendly! A fun little dive bar.

We really enjoyed this place on our trip to Lone Pine. They didn't have a great selection of beer, but it was a fun place to hang out and play pool or table tennis. Service was friendly. read more

If I could give this place 0 stars I would. If you guys want to have somewhere to chill and drink a beer, please take your money to Double L because this bar is racist and makes you feel uncomfortable the moment you stepped in. We came here after Double L so we were all in a good mood and decided to check out the bar across the street. I have read the reviews about this place but wanted to give it a chance anyway. Wrong decision right there ! We went in with a group of our friends who are all minority. The moment we stepped into the bar it seemed like a chill bar with dollars decorated everywhere but that changed really quick when the bartender served us with a pissed off look on his face. No hi or how are you doing tonight. He was such a jerk and so rude. Im surprised that he is working this job that has him dealing with people on a daily basis. Immediately interrogated us, asking everyone in our group to show IDS. He meticulously looked at our ID with his glasses on like we were trying to fool him with a fake ID. Their beer was way more expensive than Double L which makes no sense. The bar had more people than Double L but they were majorly white and kept staring at us like they never seen other color people before. We were literally in there for 15 mins before we felt so uncomfortable that we wanted to leave. My African American classmates noticed a confederate flag that hung above the door. That was the last straw. I don't understand why other people are giving this place such high rating but then again looking at their pictures it looks like they had no trouble fitting right into the scene. TAKE YOUR MONEY ELSEWHERE. GO TO DOUBLE L INSTEAD WHO KNOWS HOW TO TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. We had such a bad experience here that our class is never coming back to Lone Pine again. read more

Trash drive bar but I had a great time. Beer and wine only, female bartender was super nice.

I can't say enough how much I love this bar! The bartender's are super friendly and remember you by name. I have had many many fun nights here! It is only a beer bar, so if you are looking for hard alcohol you will have to go to Season's restaurant or if you are a member you can go to the VFW behind McDonald's. read more

Want a cold beer? This is the place. Old school, local vibe. Sign a dollar bill and hang it on the wall!

This bar looks great from inside and out and had all the hallmarks of a cool bar we could have happily hung out in all night - until I met the bartend/owner/douchbag server. Instant bad vibes from him. Hostile, aggressive, unpleasant and intimidating. No eye contact at all and no change given when we handed over $10 for a $9 check. Three foreign looking European guys came in just after us and he spoke them like they were dirt on his shoe. Displayed classic small-man syndrome, which was odd for an overweight dude. Weird small hands too. Do yourselves a favour and give this place a wide swerve. The bar across the street is a gen-u-ine cool dive bar with the nicest owner. No contest. read more

Warm and wonderful friendly business. Enjoyed the atmosphere, its regular cliental. Before driving into the Alabama Hills and Whitney's Portal, stop for good conversation and a cold glass of beer!! read more

babe behind the bar during day time was OK. gets your drink then schmoozed with the locals. dude who came in after her had NO PERSONALITY count your change after each drink. this guy thinks he's slick. arguementative. no reason to go back to here. buy a twelve and sit on the curb !!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more
