First time here...Hands down, best pastrami sandwich ever. Kevin gave great customer service.

Murray's Saloon & Eatery is one of our favorite spots in Big Bear, and since we're up here often, it's a must-visit every trip. We always order the ribeye steak and split it because the portion is huge and always cooked just right. It's one of those meals we look forward to every time we come up. The karaoke is another reason we keep coming back. It's always a fun atmosphere, whether you're singing or just watching everyone else perform. The staff has always been friendly, and the whole place has that laid-back local vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. If you're visiting Big Bear, definitely add Murray's to your list! read more

Walked in during a power outage since they were one of the only places open. As soon as we opened the door it smelled like smoke and old people. Def not the place for us not to mention all the dirty looks from the locals and the staff. It's ok, won't be back! read more

Went to big bear for the weekend! Have always heard great reviews about this local bar! Went in Saturday and Ashley behind the bar was amazing. Made us feel like we're were back home at our little watering hole ! She deserves a well needed raise! The bacon cheese burger was amazing. I would give her and the burger 10 stars Now's here is where the 3star comes in. Went in on sunday and Tony was the bar tender! He is the rudest, negative and most unfriendly person I think I have ever met! I got up went to the restroom and he trashed my water and napkins. When I asked if I could have more water with lime I was given water with lemon (not a big deal) then I jokingly made a comment about the napkins! Tony proceeded to tell me to go to another bar and closed us out! He said a few more choice words I won't repeat! He is bad for your establishment! There was another patron that was having the same issues! Needless to say the two brand new beers we were just served were left untouched I would come back as long and Tony isn't working!!!!! Best thing you could do is fire him read more

Very disappointing experience. We walked in with another couple who also had a dog. They were allowed to stay, but I believe the bartender, Amanda, told us we had to leave or outside patio because of our dog, even after we explained it was a service dog. Knowing they noticed the other party inside with a dog we didn't feel welcomed. The inconsistent treatment was embarrassing and made us feel singled out. We expected better customer service and professionalism. I hope this is addressed so other customers don't have a similar experience. read more

Good times at this local dive bar. All the regulars in town go .. There was two bartenders there. A guy a fro hair (friendly guy) and a blonde girl with a cap . We enjoyed our time there. She made me a French martini . I was shocked that they had the ingredients. And happy read more

Went here for dinner one night as it came highly recommended for great pub food. I had the ribeye steak and my friend had the salmon. They were good but I wouldn't say great. Wait staff was nice and helpful and plenty of parking. Walking distance to the main strip in Big Bear Lake. We got there right before 8pm and they stopped serving food shortly after 8pm. Lots of fun bar activity and karaoke going on. We probably won't go back for dinner but may return for drinks some time. read more

Would always come here for years and rave about their cheese sticks to everyone and recommend them .. drove over a hour just to get this craving.. sadly disappointed it seems like they changed them up . We asked if they changed them and they said they're the same. Wish they could have them the same way they used to now they just taste really bland. Im so sad they used to be my favorite, if you had them before you know read more

I am writing this review to share what an absolutely fantastic experience my wife and I had this week at your establishment. First and foremost, the food was outstanding. I ordered the clubhouse and my wife did her usual fish tacos, and both were prepared to perfection. Your prices are among the lowest in town and we appreciate that. It is clear that your kitchen takes great pride in what they send out and that you personally care for your customers. As excellent as the food was, the service was twice as good. I want to give a special commendation to Amanda and Ashley. Their hospitality, attentiveness, and amazing service truly elevated our dining experience. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, and their hard work did not go unnoticed. My Diet Pepsi cup was never empty and trust me, I drank a lot of it. You have a wonderful team and a great spot in Big Bear Lake. Please pass along our sincere thanks and appreciation to Amanda, Ashley, and the kitchen staff for a memorable meal. It made our day. read more

It's like a bar that you see in a movie! Went in on a weekday lunch time and there were people inside with kids Apparently..... they accept kids during the day which is nice. There are bar seats and tables ... and even a spot to do karaoke.... The service was pretty good. We got checked on multiple times ..... We had their burger - one with blue cheese With onion rings And fish and chips. Both were not bad.... The only thing that was off was the taste of the diet pepsi.... seemed a little off. It's a nice place to eat at... But best to go on a non rush hour ... Theres some street parking but would def be a problem when its peak time read more

Everything was wonderful! The food, the service, the ambiance, and the bill were all perfect for a lunch date! We were mostly served by Chantell, who makes a mean martini, and I can't say enough positive things. All of our food was cooked properly including a ribeye steak. The bacon wrapped jalapeño poppers are certainly noteworthy. My boyfriend said they are the best he's ever had, and I feel the same! Don't think, just go see for yourself! read more

Went back again and it was even better! Food rocks the house, especially the ribeye dinner.Burgers are bombastic! Food is cooked to order so be patient as you wait for the food to be prepared. Have a $4 mystery beer while you wait. read more

The food is great but the bar staff cares more if you are from out of town than a local. God forbid you have to raise your voice above the music, you will hear passive complaints fro the staff to the extent that they think "you're good" and shoiuld have treated you differently because you had to go back to work. Under their breath, you are the problem, not them. I've been giving 20-30% tip consistently and it doesnt matter. You will be viewed as "in the wrong" because they know better. read more

Great food, reasonably priced. Friendly and fun atmosphere. Generous drink servings. We are only in town for a visit but have gone several times already! read more

We had a great time at Murray's! When in Big Bear, it's a must try! It's the Local bar close to the village. Kevin was the best, very friendly and gave us good info on upcoming events in Big Bear. Great crowd and good music. They have delicious hamburgers, fries and onion rings! The burgers were char-grilled to perfection! Lots of other good choices on the Menu. Give them a visit, you won't be disappointed! read more

A nice, "neighborly" bar/restaurant; we enjoyed our dinner & the karaoke guy! Kevin (think Bob Ross!!), & Russ did a great job serving us! Fish & chips, & chicken sand. w/buffalo sauce; & mushrooms (for appetizers) were all excellent! Not much of a "street presence", but glad we stopped (after reading Yelp reviews). We would definitely come back if ever in town again! Thanks! read more

This review is long overdue, but years ago, my husband and I stopped here to eat. I'll admit, I was a bit intimidated to enter. I felt like we'd feel out of place and unwelcome. I was completely wrong! The hostess was very kind. The place is a bit loud, but fun. I ordered the cheeseburger and it was the best burger I've ever eaten. I still bring up how good this burger was to my friends and family. I've eaten at many restaurants over the years including a few Michelin star restaurants, and I still say that the best thing I've ever eaten was their cheeseburger. It was just so juicy and flavorful. The patty itself looked a bit messy, but it was delicious! I can't wait to eat here again. Just a side note, my husband doesn't remember what he ate here, and neither can I. All I remember is the burger. read more

What can I say about this place... Everything is totally awesome! The steak is to die for, and their cheeseburger sliders are one of the best burgers ever! The service is great, atmosphere is really cool, they have karaoke, and the service is always awesome! I love coming here anytime I'm in town, I definitely suggest trying this place, great beer prices and great food prices, you won't regret it! read more

I love this place. The vibe, the staff, the food. Its a little gem. It's a must go, everytime I come to town. The burger is my go too. Its cooked on a grill, always fresh and juicy, fresh toppings, and generous portions. I highly recommend this place. read more

My sister raved about this spot in Big Bear, so we had to try it -- and it didn't disappoint! It's a cute local dive bar with a super down-to-earth vibe. Great service. There's karaoke too. The food was delicious, portions were huge, and prices were super reasonable. Everything was so good we came back the next day for lunch again! I still think about this spot every once in a while -- such a gem. read more

Rude staff bar. Rude karoke staff. Rude doormen. Not friendly to tourists or city people. Clearly, almost everyone there that night was the clique-ey" same bar flys that are locals and act like they run the place. If you dont live in the area and dont know the customers or staff personally-Just avoid!!! Felt more like a house party you shouldnt have went to than an establishment. Insecure females and territorial men were their main customers on a thursday night aroun 8 to 9. The other bars in walking distance were soooo much kinder and welcoming. Good beer selection. Didnt try the food. But highly doubt it would be worth the awful vibe. It was almost kind of sad. How angry these people were and how they needed to be mean to us to make themselves feel better. Lets just say as soon as we walked up to the door. The guys standing up front were rude. Trying to order a drink, they were being rude. Asking about karoke- rude. As we were leaving, again some customers or doorman or whatever at the door had rude comments. The vibes were so 1850s wild wild west bar fight vibes. Lame. read more

Came in here after a long day of snowboarding and was greeted by Antonio. His service was above and beyond. Always had a great beer and hot food. You guys know how much I hate lukewarm food if you follow me. He delivered and satisfied the hungry palate. We went with the wings and the jalapeño poppers. I may add a tequila and beer. If you're ever in town for a good snowboarding trip ask for Antonio! Beer up for an awesome run! Thanks Antonio! read more

I am not sure why I never reviewed this place before. It's one of the best option in Big Bear if you are into a very friendly "divey" atmosphere saloon serving excellent bar food, offering a great on tap selection and heavy pours shots! The staff is super friendly and fun. The food comes in very large portions. Everything is cooked to order (you will wait a bit to get your dish) from fresh ingredients. A burger will feed two 10 years old kids easily. I personally love their jalapeno poppers. I don't know how they prepare them but those are the best I ever had. The sliders (more like the size of a regular fast-food burger) are delish and a huge plus for the club sandwich. The steaks are incredible, perfectly seasoned and melting in your mouth. They also host crazy karaoke night, packed with friendly locals and a raging ambiance! Highly recommended. PS: To all reviewers complaining about slow service: they Can't go faster than the kitchen. There is a warning sign on the left side of the bar that service can be slow! read more

Murray's Saloon & Eatery in Big Bear serves a varied menu of from-scratch American comfort food. While it has a dive-bar atmosphere, it is highly regarded for its large portions and high-quality pub fare. Popular items include chicken nachos (often cited as the best in town), jalapeño poppers, hand-battered mozzarella sticks, and fried zucchini. For a full meal, they serve ribeye steak, wild salmon, and traditional hot dogs with optional chili. Because Murray's is a popular spot for karaoke in Big Bear, it can get very crowded on Friday and Saturday nights. If you want to ensure you get a turn to sing, consider arriving earlier in the evening or visiting during the week. read more

Honestly - well done!!!!!! This place gets PACKED. We arrived around 645 and brought two high top tables together for our group. Ordered some appetizers and they were HUGE portions and delicious! Don't get me wrong this is bar food but WAY TO GO chefs. Exactly the best bar food for vegetarians and meat lovers. We got cheese sticks, zucchini wedges and cheese quesadillas for the table and had so much leftovers! Everyone loved their main dishes including the fish and chips. Then had such a blast doing kareoke with the whole bar. Such a fun evening celebrating our friends birthday!!! read more

Great FRESH food-the best buy in the valley hands down. Something on the menu for everyone!

Went with friends to view the Big Bear Eagle's nest. Spectacular by the way. Stop here for what my friend said was great food. I got the Battered Shrimp basket with Frionons. Others order the pastrami sandwich, which was excellent & very lean. Another order was the fish and salad. Sparkle took her order and she had a great sense of humor. I love eating in town favorites, and this bar was very quaint. During summer, they have a large patio in the back and karaoke four days a week. read more

This place is a dive bar, and has all the energy and loud music to go along with it. Some people comment on the slow service but we didn't have any issues. There were two ladies on the floor who were handling the bar, taking orders, delivering orders, and bussing tables. I was actually quite impressed with their efficiency. Food was decent for the price. We ordered the fried mushrooms and pastrami sandwich with onion rings; that was plenty to feed two people. Definitely tasted straight out the fryer, and not too salty surprisingly. Both fried items were accompanied by complimentary sauces as well. Overall, decent American fare. Dog friendly inside and out. Of note: credit card usage adds a 4% fee to your bill. There is an ATM inside the restaurant. read more

The food is always good here. I can never say anything bad about the food. The mozzarella sticks are giant and he can't beat 16 ounce prime rib for $27. That's the cheapest prime rib you can get on the mountain. The servers are always great and the ambience is like a little saloon. I love going here. This is definitely a local spot most nights they have karaoke. read more

i will be back every single time i am in big bear! me and my friend went bar hopping in the village and landed on murrays. the food was actually yummy and more affordable than any of the other places in the village. our burger was big enough to share between 2 of us for $15 and cocktail was $8.5! at that point why even go anywhere else lol like the past reviews tables are pretty hard to find after karaoke starts, we waited maybe 30 minutes before we snagged some spots on the bar and got to order food before kitchen closed. staff is super attentive and will check up on everyone despite the packed chaos karaoke wait time!!! super important if this is your target!!!! we put our names down at 7pm, got called at 8:30! this is on a saturday night of a 3 day weekend so maybe its usually a shorter wait. earlier on people were singing more classics that everyone knows, later on as audience changed there were more younger people who knew a wider range of songs. crossed this off my bucket list, cant wait to be back :D read more
