    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.

    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"!

    Great dive bar in Graeagle to enjoy drinks and dancing after everything else shuts down early.

    My friend who visited the Grizzly Grill with me were both very pleased to see the menu and pricing…read moredoesn't seem to have changed. We appreciate the new owners for keeping the restaurant very much like Chris and Randi left it. It still has the home town vibe, great food, fair pricing and l look forward to a summer full of great food and fun times.

    Solid choice for dinner if you find yourself in the Portola/Blairsden/Graeagle area. I met a couple…read morehigh school friends to catch up a little bit. I've only been here a few times since I now live out of town... but every time I visit, I appreciate the interior - I really like the look! We started with spinach / artichoke dip as an appetizer... thumbs up all around the table on that one. There are actually several appetizers on the menu that look good - it's always tough for me to choose - but if you just wanted to drop by for a happy hour nibble, I'd say most people would be covered. It'd be fair to say that apps are one of their strengths. I had a caesar salad, and it was good! Pretty standard caesar, but I'm amazed that many restaurants manage to screw it up by drowning it in dressing or whatever. None of the common mistakes here - nice fresh, crisp lettuce... good dressing and imo the right amount - not too heavy, not too light. Just right. One of my friends had the Chicken Parm and the other had Shrimp Scampi - both reported goodness! The dishes looked great, but I behaved this time and kept my fork to myself. I had the salmon - one of my "go to" dishes - and it was good as well. Yes... we had dessert! There were several good options, but we decided to share the cookie "mess". Good balance with all ingredients... and for something described as a "mess," it was plated quite well! Definitely high on my list of possibilities when I'm in the area!
