NOM NOM NOM (that's the sound I make after riding from First to Last chair) here at the pub!!
Getting out of Sierra is a BEAST. An even hairier, smellier, drool riddled beast at 4-6pm, so this is where you need to put your feet up, or fold your arms and bow your head for a pre-drive-home power nap (for those of us who are not local and traveling Hwy 50 EB.) And especially on a powder day!
The food? Awesomesauce!! Theres sandwiches, salads, pizza, pretzels, and curly fries. The food totally b*tchslaps the food offerings up at 360 Smokehouse & BBQ. And much healthier options. The bar is fully stocked with all kinds of liquor and several beers on tap...
The only thing I am TOTALLY pissed about this place is they stopped offering Blue Moon on tap, w/ a fresh slice of orange! They replaced it with an equally yummy beer called Tangerine, but its the beer version of a dessert wine, IMHO. I dont really like the other beers offered (sorry!)
Often when I am having a frustrating day in terms of my riding skills, I will end up here, the staff is gracious, attentive, they clear your tables quickly. Theres a great little balcony that seats more people than it appears and boasts front-row seats to the newbie hill for guaranteed endless entertainment of yard-sales and faceplants, and timid baby skiers going down the 2 percent grade all pizza style!!! hahaha!!
Best of all, the tables outside have hanging heaters overhead, which provide a little extra warmth for those super chilly days. I've made friends out of strangers here, and the staff is just amazing... the best part is, usually at the end of the day on the weekends there is a live band, and it just makes the whole life of a ski/snowboarder bum(sorta-bum) feel that much more awesome and fun. I love this place. read more
