The service was amazing from the worker (Bobby). Welcomed us in and gave us good feedback on what to order. We came from out of town and didn't feel that welcome from other bars around the area coming from a diverse couple. Thank you for the amazing service. Will come back for poke next visit to Tahoe read more

See all

Great Beer selection. Greet ownership. Fun vibes. More taps than seats Open Mondays Best priced Pints in town read more

The gentleman working was very knowledgeable. Great location. Big selection of wines and excellent cheeses on cheese board.

Cool little spot with a great vibe! Some friends and I came here during a bachelor party and had a blast, would come back again when back in town. Plus the bartender looks like Obi-Wan so that was cool. read more

Nice collection of various hards. I was very impressed that they carried a bottle of my favorite Japanese gin. They also had some Japanese snacks which was unique and cool. They have a little bar at the front/left of the store which was cool but also a bit loud. read more

My day was made special since I noticed this Gem gleaming as I drove by. A serious Bottle shop and top notch Liquor selection. It is a local spot that had a nice crowd enjoying the beverage of the Gods. How do you turn down a Pliny and a Bottle of Rye! I will be back to sample and shop again. Cheers read more

wow. Ryan aka dudebro is a beer sommelier. and he's cute to boot! Will certainly come back next pay day ;) read more

SiPS - Best spot in town for a Potsquatch siting! - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tahoe City, California

Do not get caught in a conversation with the owner Lorin. Between the bad jokes and the one sided conversation you will want to do anything to get out of this mess of a "bar". I would recommend skipping this stop while in Tahoe City. read more

Popped in here & was pleasantly surprised! 9 taps of goodness! What's your pleasure? Super cool crew ready to hook you up with a variety of craft brews on tap! Have a sip & then take one (or a few) home! read more

Best spot in Tahoe City. A true locals spot, never the same beer on tap. They have all the best, newest, and rarest beers. Bartender Ryan helped me out and was awesome. read more

Dubro Ryan always treats us like royalty. Beer glass always stays full. Da best in tahoe

Great selection of wine and beer. Outstanding cider on tap up in the front (as well as awesome beers for those who can handle their gluten) as well as many liquor selections. GREAT STAFF! Fun atmosphere. Always great music playing and they'll let you choose the next song if you're into that too! Centrally located in Tahoe City near everything! read more

SiPS - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tahoe City, California

Seems like they have a pretty good selection of liquor, but this place is whack for beer. Other than a few random bottles, everything else you can find at Safeway for cheaper. Maybe you'll have better luck? read more

Ryan was like Jesus walking on water. Love this place beer selection was amazing!!!!!!!!

Amazing selection. I was looking for a certain tequila and they not only had it but tons of others to think about. Beer selection is off the charts. Help is amazing. Will be back read more

Great place to enjoy and purchase good beer. They also sell the hard stuff. (Picture: Hop Nookie by Kern River Brewing Company. Purchased at SiPS buy enjoyed elsewhere) read more

SiPS - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tahoe City, California

This is THE place to come to just hang out, have some drinks, chill and relax. The owner is usually at the bar. He'll pour drinks for you, HAVE drinks with you, and be the best Dj you could ask for. Tv on the wall with a good CLEAN sound system. You can play your own songs on a wall mounted iPad as well. Amazing ambiance. Want to have a late night and chill? The owner is down to stay late and entertain. Can't recommend thus place enough. Come to SiPS and make sure you try the Nutty Chicken bowl which is FIRE. read more

Best spot for a local feel with EXCELLENT beer. They have rotating taps, always variety, always top notch. You can also find a beer in their fridge selection and drink on-site.

SiPS - Altamont Beer Works - #canlife - Beer, Wine & Spirits Near Me - Tahoe City, California

If you're a beer lover don't miss this awesome spot offering craft brews on tap and more, inside a liquor store with the usual options. A favorite of locals and savvy visitors, there's no food in house so make this a pre or post meal stop, or bring your own take out. Their video monitor features anything and everything, from ski/boarding videos, YouTube and MTV faves and even special requests. The tap tenders are friendly and somehow manage to stay on top of serving and checking out customers too. Stop in soon and become a fan! read more

Great place to come check out. Great service , good beer, good music. I have to keep writing it I have nothing more to say read more

The customer service here is outstanding. Staff was knowledgable and helpful when it came to spirit recommendations. The small tap/tasting room attached is its most outstanding feature. 7-10 beers on tap from what I remember. A very cool spot to meet some new people and relax. On top of all that, the staff came through big time when I left my sunglasses there. I was in town for work and left them during a stop in Tahoe City. I was staying over an hour and a half away and leaving for the east coast the next day, so returning to the store to retrieve the glasses was not an option. No worries though as my sunglasses were shipped to me at the cost of ownership. Thank you guys. Customer/champion for life. read more

I'm a Tahoe local and this is by far my favorite place to go for a drink in Tahoe City. There are more beers on tap than there are seats - the atmosphere is always super friendly, typically with a good mix of locals and tourists. The staff know their alcohol and you can also pick up a quality bottle of wine in the adjoining bottle shop. I love this place! read more

Micro-bar inside a liquor store. Full of attractive people getting absolutely sloshed before snowshoeing. Tahoe is a special place. . . This place has an excellent beer selection, very friendly and chill staff, and cool atmosphere. Will definitely return next time I am in the area! read more

Had a great time @ the bar here. Jake, the bartender was really knowledgeable about the MANY types of beer they have. The staff brings lots of good vibes to the bar and it's small enough that everyone in there feels together. It's a fun place! read more

The best beers and tenders on the lake. Everyone was super friendly. The selection of beer is incredible.... Sooo impressed. The back little restaurant has the best poke bowls and burritos. read more

Coming up from LA for the weekend, you don't expect the bar scene in Tahoe to be the highlight of the trip. However, the warm welcome we received at Sips made the trip. We stopped by to have a beer, and it turned into an all day affair. The tiny tasting room allowed us to make new friends, listen to good music, and just have some good fun. Will definitely be coming back! Such a great find read more

Good selection of beer. Fun place. Reasonable prices. It is a locals hang out so as long as you don't mind being with a rather loud group of 20 something year olds listening to loud music, it is a fun place. read more

These guys have some great beer in cans but they let it sit around for too long. Just bought a NEIPA there today (May 27th) and it was canned on February 25th. It's a giant malt bomb at this point. If you shop here check your dates, they'll sell you old shitty beer. read more

I love everything about this place except for the owner Lorne's service. Dude is super cool but scams the customers. Watched him charge a drunk dude w another patrons shots and then brag about it to the patrons after drunk dude left. Then he upcharges me on a bottle beer when other bartenders charge me $1.50 (when he's not there) less for same bottle. Then i walk in and he's telling me how everyone likes a beer and him and two other dudes are drinking it. I order it and he Gives me a 10ounce glass while others get a pint. I asked why.... says he'll be right back while he tends to someone just walking in (as if to avoid the conversation). Shady dude. read more

My husband and I visited while on our anniversary trip and loved the beer/whiskey selection. The owner, Lorne, invited us to sit down and recommended a few drinks, and before we knew it we were chatting it up with locals and sampling mezcal. This place has an awesome vibe, friendly people, and definitely was a highlight on our trip to Tahoe. I highly recommend if you want a chill place to grab a good drink in a casual atmosphere. read more

Freakin amazing! So much fun! People who run this place are friendly and welcoming! So many choices on tap and music to please all!!!!

Amazing selection and friendly staff! Found a yummy porter to enjoy and will be back!

This is the place to be in north Tahoe , Bear is the best bartender around great music amazing drinks even better people !!!

This place is awesome! Great and edgy beers, great atmosphere, and great people. An awesome place to visit. If we lived here, this would be our local place! Rob, Loren, Dave were welcoming and provided great company. The locals like Doug and Hunter were also great company. Beer geeks and connoisseurs right up our alley! read more

Great customer service! Lorn is awesome! Great vibe! Great beers... I'm glad we stopped during our voyage around the lake today!

Craft beer and whisky tasting in a tiny little saloon room. Amazing selection, cool proprietor, outlaw country playing. Perfect!

Sips is a destination in Tahoe City. A finely curated selection of premium beers is always on tap, and their allocated whisky selection is top notch. The tasting room embodies the best of the local Tahoe experience, and the service is one of a kind. Sips is true hidden gem in this wonderful town. read more

What a fun stop ! There isn't a big sign so be sure to go into the craft beer store at 599. Super friendly staff and great beer selection.

What a fantastic selection of rye and bourbon! The wine selection is nothing to sneeze at either. Very helpful and friendly service. This is THE place to go if you want some good booze in Tahoe. Aaron helped us find just the right thing. They also have taps and I'd be lying if I said I wasn't tempted to sit down and try a flight of taps beer at 11:30 AM. Ha ha seriously GO here for your top shelf and budget liquor. read more
