What a cool bar to hang out in! Was in Graeagle for a wedding and desperately needed a pregame beer. Stopped by this bar because it was close to the wedding venue. Never knowing what to expect of a small, locals only type of a bar, I sat in the back and kept to myself at first but within minutes, the bartender and the locals sitting at the bar started talking and including me in their conversations. This place is great!! Every single person there was nice, fun, and pleasant. I also loved the ceiling!! Full of $bills$ that patrons have decorated and hung from the ceiling. There were only a few beers on tap which was fine by me because they had a Pilsner and a hazy option. They also have a full bar and the bartender was quick. read more

Nice quit place to get a drink and relax. Good people to talk to people and meet people who can tell you the history of the area

The Mo. Is not the place to go! Stay away! Walked in.with my service dog and quicker then I could blink the bartender said NO dogs! I said how about outside, you don't serve food and she said NO! Don't patronize a place that hates dogs! read more

Great little bar in a great little area of gray eagle in Mohawk. Go check it out. A great place for friends and family to meet up at.

Just enjoy the atmosphere and people. Beverages were very good too. Like to stop by whenever I'm in town.

Visited my son up in Grey Eagle and we stopped play some pool, listened to some, and had a beverage. Was a fun little spot to sit around and have some good conversations with all types of people from everywhere. Recommend to stop bye and and put a dollar on the ceiling. read more

After checking out Johnsville and Eureka Lake, we stopped here because of the Yelp reviews. We just felt like we had to check it out. We found out this establishment has been in business since 1864 and we were told it is currently the fourth oldest tavern operating in the state of California! It was previously part of the Mohawk Hotel which sits next door and is in major disrepair. The bartender also told us this was a Eureka Peak miners hangout and part of the local community built for them. She told us of railroad barons coming to vacation in the area and staying at the hotel. The ceiling on the older part of the building is covered with dollar bills that visitors have defaced to leave a lasting memory. We did it too! We also discovered that some of them are 100 dollar bills!!! The locals and the bartender were very friendly and gave us some suggestions on other local points of interest. We are glad we stopped in and joined the many other people who have walked through the doors of "The Mo"! read more

Love the outdoor bar area. Excellent pizza and the drinks are amazing and brought to your table. The entertainment is always the best. Live music and fun patrons. This time the band was Battleground, from Reno and they kept us entertained all evening. The staff are great, wonderful, helpful and friendly. The establishment is clean and inviting. Looking forward to next visit. read more

Old school bar great to visit year round. Always a good time and love the live music

Had the best time at this little hole in the wall. Charlotte was an excellent tender and had great stories too.

Hands down THE BEST Bloody Mary on the planet. I am ruined for anything else. Better than 5 stars! read more

Fun atmosphere. The bartenders are friendly and experienced. This is not far from Graeagle and opens before most things in Graeagle. We will visit again! read more

We have a vacation home in the area and everyone who comes to visit DEMANDS an evening at this place. One of the best dive bars you'll ever come across -- never a boring evening here. It's one of the only bars in the area, so there's always a fun crowd -- great atmosphere. Very friendly staff as well -- Thomas behind the bar is one of the nicest guys you'll meet in the area. Stick a dollar bill on the ceiling with your own custom message and see if you can find it the next time. Tougher than you would think. read more

The music was great and the place was lively and the drinks were generous! Welcoming vibe.

Charlotte isn't going to like this but I have to let you all know my experiences at Mohawk Tavern. Our favorite dive bar decorated with so much love and history. They've got a pool table, corn holes, jukebox., flat screen TV, comfy bar stools and high top tables in semi lit room, spacious outdoor patio with all the colors you need in hanging baskets and planter boxes but that's all easy to access maybe not that lovingly. What's incredibly hard to come by is simple and honest conversations with hard working folks who genuinely accepts who you are and where you are from. The other day after a long hike my husband and I had a freak accident and came limping into the bar to chase away our pain. Charlotte made a 'his and hers' ice packs with clean bar towels to wrap and extra bar stools to rest our legs. She's only met us a few times in the past. Honestly, it's just hard to come by these days. Can't wait to return. read more

It's a very friendly, fun, nice local pub. The kind of local "dive" bar you'll be happy to find anywhere. Cheap drinks of all kinds, a couple of local microbrews. They do a tipsy ride home if you're staying / living within a few miles. They have this cool things thing where you can write a message on a dollar bill and staple it to the ceiling. There's a pool table, relatively clean bathrooms. read more

Best bar ever! Great management, amazing bartenders, outdoor seating and more! That's why I keep coming back every year!

Have loved this gathering spot for over 25 years! Always fun! Locals and tourists enjoying the drinks and music.

LOVE LOVE LOVE this place!!!! Yes, its an old dive bar but its got great regulars, and awesome bartenders. Don't feel uncomfortable. Just walk in as if you have been coming here for years and order yourself a drink. read more

THE most consistent (and consistently good) restaurant in Monroe. Shrimp, catfish, oysters-- in a place your parents and grandparents loved. What more can you ask? Waiters are career servers. They will know you order soon. read more

Belly up to the bar with skanky bikers and golf pants wearing accountants from Sacramento. Gotta love The Ol' Mo. Watch your alkyhawl intake here, they make 'em stiff. And if you think you're out in Podunk, USA and immune to the CHP, think again. Woo Woo Woo! Pull Over! read more

I'm a combat veteran with a service connected disability. I have a federally registered service dog who assists me in my day to day life with my disability. I entered the tavern with my dog, he had his service vest on. The bartender said no dogs allowed and when I told her it was a service dog, she said she did not care and said she would not serve anyone with a dog. I tried to explain and even show her the registration info for my service dog and she would not allow us to be in this establishment. As we left she said, I won't serve pizza next to a dog. I have been at the bar many times and never had any issues before and have seen many dogs inside the bar that were not service animals. If this is the way the Mowhawk tavern wants to treat veterans, I'll find another place to spend my money. This being said I understand many people lie about their pets being service animals and it ruins it for people who have real and verified service animals. If the bartender had an inch of compassion I would have showed her all the relevant licenses for my service dog. This establishment should review the CA ADA laws and inform their employees that they were violating state law and could have significant fines for doing so. read more

The Mohawk Tavern is a historical landmark. It's filled with stories of the past where you can make new ones for yourself while indulging in delicious beverages. The bartender Kim is very knowledgeable and made us feel at home. Not to mention she makes the best damn Bloody Mary with a homemade spice mix. If you want a cozy, friendly place to get away, I highly recommend visiting. read more

Great bar. Great people. The Manager Kim has really turned this place around. Fantastic. Come and see.

This is the best bar in Plumas County. My family and friends visit at least once a year plus we had the after party for our wedding there.

It does not get any better than the Mohawk Tavern. I was on a road trip through the Sierras and fell in love with the place. It has a pool table, a comfy vibe, colorful patrons an outdoor patio, and great bartenders. The "locals", for the most part, are on vacation from elsewhere; here to tie one on and have a few laughs. The real locals are friendly and fun to talk to. If you are ever in the neighborhood, do NOT pass up this gem. Word of caution: the CHP has this place on their radar so beware read more

One of our favorite places to grab a drink and chill. Everyone knows the bartender, Thomas, he's always happy to see us. We always have a great time playing cribbage and having the whole place to ourselves or dancing to the juke box on a crowded hopping night. read more

It's like finding an original gold nugget untouched. A must stop when you're in this beautiful high altitude valley for a dive bar beer and quarters in the jukebox. read more

Really cool, funky bar. The owner? (I believe her name was Kim) was really friendly as well as her daughter who was tending bar. Huge plus...best prices on scotch anywhere. read more

This place is hilarious... It's so much fun, but so small full of small town folk. Great nights can be spent here, but, yes, it's an old dive bar. Check it out! read more

Fun little bar to hang out in, grab a drink, play some pool, step out on the back deck. Ive seen people bring their dog in so I'm guessing this place is dog friendly which just adds to the cozy feeling this local bar has. read more

Last night I was in this bar and the male bartender called my friend the c word while the other bartender proceeded to push her on the other side of the bar real welcoming people to my friends and family that came in for the funeral. read more

This place is a must see. Very friendly people and yes it is kind of a dive but that's what makes it "The Mohawk". If you think you've had too much to drink, don't worry, the floor really does list to starboard. read more

Fun little bar complete with a cat. Nice folks too. They will put on whatever game you want to watch. New Year's Eve was a blast.

The Mohawk is the best place to discover why Plumas County is the coolest part of California. The regulars are welcoming to tourists and the summer crowd. All the employees are super friendly and deliver up great cocktails. This is not only a " beer and a shot joint" but a place for great drinks. The only down side is that Kim, who makes the best Bloody Marys in the world is off on medical leave. Kim get well soon, we need you! This is a 5 star bar every day of the week. But it only gets 4 stars without KIM. The owners need to get KIM back ASAP. read more

It's a dive, yes, but a very nice one! Friendly bar tender, friendly patrons, good jukebox, great pool table, generous drinks. We like it here...and our dollar bill is on the ceiling. read more

When I think of the Toby Keith song "I love this bar", this is the first place that comes to mind! This is my absolute favorite bar of all time. My family has had a place in Graeagle for almost 30 years, and I've literally been coming up here since I was born. Since I'm a country girl at heart, I fit right in with all the locals who frequent this joint. In recent years, Graeagle has been "discovered" and thus has a lot more tourists, especially during the summer. There are always 50+ year-old golfers at the Hawk that hit on me relentlessly, but alas, this is just part of the Hawk experience if you're a young gal. Still, I love it when country's playing on the jukebox and laughing while watching the golfers try to dance. The Mohawk Tavern is truly a great place to hang out, and I know that after you visit it, you will be singing "I love this bar!" read more
