The $4 beer is a must, and I am so glad they've kept a cheap option on the menu. The chicken tenders plus the pretzel with beer cheese are perfect options on a quick lunch break. They get busy but always hustle to get everyone's food and drink out. Just sit back (by the fireplace if you can snag that spot) and enjoy the feel of a true old-school ski bar. Don't come in expecting a fussy, bougie experience...you're at Kirkwood, not Palisades. And that's why we love it!

Fresh food on the mountain is the best! Ordered club with side salad instead of fries to go, and it…read morewas very delicious. I think the fries would be tasty when after coming down from the mountain. I'd recommend this dish if you are craving a sandwhich. The service was great and the lady who took my order was helpful and it's super close to the main lodge and side lodges just walk outside the door practically. There's like 4-6 parking spots first come first serve if your plan to dine here. Lots seating, but it's off season with only 1 week left until snow season ends. During in season I bet it's gets pretty busy!

It was okay, although the buns were a bit mushy and parts of the chicken were dry. The fries weren't crispy and didn't really taste like anything. For the quality, the sando was definitely overpriced. My partner said his burger wasn't that great either. But we left feeling full and recharged, so I guess there's that!

Went to the Wall for lunch at 2:30pm after skiing since 8:30am. Had wanted to eat elsewhere and get…read morea bowl but those counters were closed already, so we wandered into the Wall. We were seated almost immediately and had a very friendly hostess and server. As a group we ordered: Nachos with beef: 5/5 yes I'm sure they get the guac and cheese premade somewhere but the portion was generous, the spice level was decent, and nachos were flavorful. Pesto chicken sliders: 5/5 best thing we ordered. Fish and chips: 4/5 run of the mill fish and chips. The breading was a little thick and the fish wasn't particularly tender but it was alright. I usually feel like places don't provide enough tartar sauce but here I had sauce left over Bloody Mary: 5/5 I don't like blood Marys and I enjoyed this one which might indicate that it wasn't good but I really liked it. My husband said it was "more vegetal than usual" and I think I don't like the overwhelming tomato taste of a usual Bloody Mary so his observation makes sense Mulled wine: 4/5 pleasantly warm and interesting in flavor. Felt comforting after skiing If this was a random restaurant in the Bay Area this review would look very different but I'm comparing it to usual fare at ski resorts; to sit down to such a nice, filling, hot meal while wearing my ski boots was such a happy time, all three of us were thrilled.

Love the ambiance of this place though. Rode our motorcycles to go eat there. We were the only 2 bikes there but alot of side by sides.

The interior is dimly lit, calm, and still very inviting--something you really have to experience in person. The drinks and mocktails are so well crafted that it's almost shocking--you take a sip, then look back at the menu like, "Wait... that's all it cost?" and then back at the bartender like, "Hold on... you made this perfectly for me?" We sat at the bar top and, like everyone else, got caught up in our phones trying to post everything in real time. But Amanda, who was making our drinks, could spark a conversation out of thin air. She was a total pro at keeping us engaged and enjoying our time, all while making drinks and taking care of everyone else around us.

The standout of…read morethe night was definitely Amanda the mixologist--she was absolutely great, incredibly fun to talk to, and an overall delight to be around while making our drinks. The atmosphere itself is on the smaller side, but it fits the cozy, hidden speakeasy vibe perfectly. ​That being said, the pricing is a bit tough to swallow. I ordered a drink for $22 that tasted good, but overall, the drinks here are just way too expensive for what you get. They also had live music playing during our visit; it was good lounge background music that added a nice vibe to the room, but it wasn't anything spectacular or something to get overly excited about. ​It's a cool spot to check out for the ambiance, but the high drink prices keep it at a flat three stars for me.
