Hamburger was great. Very friendly and attentive waitress. The place has a great vibe.

Came after memorial weekend for dinner. Got seated right away and the servers saw that we were struggling with the qr menu. He immediately brought regular menus and water. Server was very accommodating to my 80 year old dad's needs. He can be complicated. Food was good and was served in a timely manner. I would highly recommend this place. read more

September 16, 2026 My family has been visiting this town for the past 50 years annually (approx 20-30 of us). This used to be the meeting place for us as we all arrived in town. Over the years, we stopped visiting in general because the food quality was not even close to average. We would however, hang out and get a couple of drinks on occasion. Then we were treated bad by one of the employees, so we stopped visiting the business all together. We would from time to time go in to grab a hat or a shirt (Due to the history that came with the logo). When it came to food and drinks, we would just go into Mammoth with our business. Luckily, June Lake Brewery opened up. That gave us a new lease on life here at the Loop. The food trailers are substantially higher quality and the employees at both businesses are pleasant to interact with. This year (09/16/2026 / late afternoon) my sons, myself and a friend of my sons (first time here) stopped by for a hat and a shirt. ALAN, was the one to take our orders. This employee appeared to be inconvenienced by our presence and we felt like we were a burden to him with asking a few simple questions about the products. He never smiled, looked us in the yes and his tone was not welcoming what so ever. During the purchase of clothing, ALAN placed the bag on the counter and immediately threw the receipt down. My son simply pulled it out of the bag to check it out and ALAN said, "CAN YOU PAY FOR THAT SO I CAN GO SERVE PEOPLE SOME FOOD!" My sons still purchased the merchandise. If I were the owner I would have a brash conversation with the manager and I would personally serve ALAN his last paycheck!! Due to ALAN, we will never be returning to the Tiger Bar, not even for merchandise. I told my sons you should've just left the merchandise on the bar, walked away and went to Ernie's for merchandise instead. Too bad I can't give a negative star!!!!

We have been going to the Tiger Bar for 20 years and this new crew is absolutely amazing. We had Tiger Burger with Tiger chips, Steak Sandwich with Frenchfries, Carnivore Burger with Tiger chips, Ortega Turkey Sandwich with sweet potatofries all fantastic. The service was on spot with friendly attention and fast service. Of course the atmosphere is always great with the Tiger decor and beauty June Lake sitting. 10 out of 10 great job Tiger Bar Crew read more

This place is so eclectic and whimsy. A great place where it seems the staff know the clientele. This is our 3rd year here and Gwen has always taken care of us. She will joke with you while serving you great food and a beautiful smile. read more

Tigers tigers tigers! Traveling around Mammoth and stopped here before visiting June Lake. SWEETEST STAFF! They've got a funky tiger themed aesthetic which is pretty fun. The food was ok... nothing extraordinary. But perfect lunch bite. Service was a little slow with about 15-20 min waiting at the bar before being served menus. read more

Very disappointing experience. We visited twice in one day. During breakfast, the staff were unfriendly and repeatedly rushed us to finish eating. When we returned in the evening, we were told they were closing at 9 PM, even though their online hours said 10 PM and many customers were still inside. Both visits made us feel unwelcome. As Asian customers, we couldn't help but wonder if we were being treated differently. Very poor customer service. We definitely won't be coming back. read more

Reliable spot to grab a solid meal before or after a trip in the backcountry. Ordered the shrimp taco plate with chips, which were crispy and salty. Other buddies got burgers and fries. Food was all great and filling. Good variety of tasty beers. Service was helpful and efficient. Cool vibe and interesting story about the origination of the restaurant's tiger logo. read more

Sorry, but I would find somewhere else to go. The food was okay. We had leftovers and were struggling to finish it. Service was okay, value was meh, atmosphere was cozy, but the food for me was not as good as I expected. Prices were high for the quality. I am sure it was once a great place to dine, as I have heard good things about this place, but I will skip it next time. read more

This is a very cool local bar/restaurant. I would recommend going here knowing you aren't going for high quality food, but great local, chill vibes. The beer was great, service was great and the local feel in the atmosphere is exactly what you want in this small town. Food wise- nothing special but just fine. I got the French dip and the meat was semi dry and the au ju was very thick but it was bearable. It hit the comfort food spot but not the quality food spot. read more

Excellent guacamole burger and sweet potato fries for me, and my husband loves the Mexa burger and fries. Very nice service.

We've been going here for several years but they won't serve egg whites. I happen to have an allergy to the yokes, so usually I'll eat something else. Everyone else serves them. read more

This place does not serve the finest food in the world. But it's definitely the finest food in the June Lake loop. The service is pretty good, not great but keep in mind this is a lazy fishing town in the summer and a lazy skiing town in the winter. The restaurant has a homey atmosphere that I appreciate. The Tiger burger is delicious. There is something on the menu for everyone. Family friendly, with tasty cocktails to help you deal with your kids. read more

The cheese bites and buffalo cauliflower were perfect snacks with the local draft beers. Lots of fun merchandise and friendly service. read more

Food was excellent for the location, had the salmon which came with a salad and fries which tastes great. The veggie nachos were good too. Drinks weee solid with a decent price. Got seated quickly but had a hit of a wait to have our order taken, which is understandable given that they were so busy. Nice ambiance with TVs and sports playing. read more

The hubby and I are in town for our first time, and a friend recommended we hang for a night at Tiger Bar! We had a great time, watched the fight on TV, played pool, and played a million songs on the juke box. The service was awesome, everyone was friendly, the drinks were great! We didn't eat, but the food passing by us looked delicious! read more

Short little review as I stumbled into this bar to grab a quick Bloody Mary and it didn't disappoint. Tiger Bar & Cafe is a long time staple in June Lake. Everything about it is giving time capsule and they don't need to upgrade much because it's a local hole in the wall favorite. This spot is open early morning to evening, making it one of the only spots in June Lake where you can score breakfast. I wandered in at 10am craving a Bloody Mary and seeing that every other bar / restaurant in town was closed. When you are the only option you're a good option lol. I sat up at the old school diner bar and it was cozy. The bar itself has lots of Tiger swag and merch all across it. Funny signs and sayings, this place is a hoot. Staff were nice and friendly. Almost immediately when I sat down a nice gal took my order, cashed me out and made me my Bloody Mary. For an $8 Bloody Mary it hit the spot. A little small but packed with flavor. Happy I could try this famous Mary while I was in downtown lake June. I'd come back to try their breakfast and to grab another cocktail next time. A good local spot, no frills, just a classic diner and bar. read more

Tiger Bar is a great spot. Great burgers, service, and vibe. People can't expect to be in a resort town and have fast service. I found the service to be friendly and not too long, despite the place being PACKED. Had a burger with Ortega chilis and a side salad that was huge. Also a great old fashioned. I'd go back! read more

Homey, authentic diner in the middle of town when visiting. Generous portions and exciting menu. The food was delicious, but there was some wait time of getting first greeted, ordering, and paying your check. Family comes here often and loves the food! read more

Great dive bar with a long history in June Lake. Amazing house made potato chips. Solid menu with something for everyone. Welcoming staff and a great place to chat with locals, hikers, folks here for fishing, skiers, bikers, vacationers, leaf peepers- you name it. At times the service can be a bit slow, but I imagine staffing is not easy in a town this size. read more

It's Sunday morning and we are camping at Gull Lake and I am in need of coffee (espresso ideally). Unfortunately the meat pie place is closed three days in a row starting Sunday. Don't bother going to June Java-- it doesn't exist! Good ol The Tiger local bar right next to Ernie's Bait shop has coffee!!! It's no espresso, but I'll take it! We didn't eat, as I was only looking for some caffeine to get my day started, but we will be coming back next summer and indulge in some breakfast. Shoutout to Araceli for being so sweet and helpful! Oh, and they have beer on draft, which my husband was eying for our next trip. We love a good beer on draft read more

Service was friendly, vibe was fun, and atmosphere was lit. World Cup was playing and the place was packed. Good mood good vibes. Drinks decent prices. Ordered a burger and salmon. Both tasted good but the food was a bit more expensive than I'd like. Solid vibe for a small town bar read more

This place is great. The atmosphere is great. They have music and the wait staff is friendly. I would equate the food to Dennys. It gets the job done. Plus they have a full bar. read more

From last Tuesday: my life partner and I stopped in---we are locals since 1978. This place has taken a sharp turn for the worse. The service was disorganized and inattentive from the moment we walked in. Long waits, little communication, and a general sense that no one was really in charge. The food was equally disappointing -- poorly executed, forgettable, and not worth the time or money. What stood out most was the overall atmosphere: tense, chaotic, and run down. It no longer feels like a well-loved local institution, but rather a place struggling to find its footing. I later learned there was a recent change in ownership, and unfortunately it shows. Something here feels off. The experience lacked professionalism, consistency, and basic hospitality -- all things that matter in a small town where reputation is everything. June Lake deserves better. I hope this place figures it out, but until then, I wouldn't recommend it. read more

My friend and I chose this restaurant due to the reviews on another platform. HUGE mistake! I ordered the nachos and my friend ordered Tri--tip sandwich. Nachos were simple and I could have easily made them at home. Nothing special. My friends Tri-tip sandwich was literally steak bites just like my nachos had. It was definitely not Tri-tip. She poked at it and pretty much left it whole. We paid separately and I paid an even number (as always when I eat out) and when I checked my bank account it was a dollar and some change over. They completely charged my card definitely from what I wrote on the receipt! Never again! Food was absolutely horrible. I do not recommend! read more

Stopped by on our way to Mammoth and we were hungry. We ordered 2 burgers with fries. Service was friendly. The bar itself has the small town feel that goes with the area, but I felt that it could use a good dusting and updates. read more

We have been going to Tiger Bar and Cafe for over thirty years. We had a dinner meal here last night. My wife had the split pea soup I had the salmon meal with baked potato. The soup was thick like paste and terrible, she didn't eat it. My salmon was like chewing on rubber absolutely terrible. The baked potato was good. I didn't eat my salmon, who would? The worst meal I've ever had there. And they charged us full price $44 plus. What happened to this place? The menu is different as well. We would advise going else where if you can. Drive to Mamouth if you have to don't waste your money. Thanks for taking the time to review this post. read more

You ever go to a restaurant where your group is seated and then is TOTALLY ignored while everyone else in the restaurant is being served? And even after calling it to their attention, your group is still ignored, walks out, and the staff has no clue? And then later you learn that friends at other tables that were served had such horrible service that some finished their meals before others at the same table were served their food. Welcome to Tiger Bar and Cafe. read more

Friendly service. We only ordered some beers and fries to hold us over until the rain stopped. Nice and cozy. Great mountain community vibes. read more

Every year we stop by, and every year it's disappointing. You would think we would learn. Food was ok although I wouldn't recommend the fish and chips. Water wasn't offered until after we ordered, and we had to ask for drink refills. Choices are limited in June Lake. read more

My family and I were visiting June Lake this past weekend. We stopped here for a late lunch on Sunday 10/19/25. It was around 2pm when we stopped by. We walked in and it was pretty empty. We were sat right away and waters were brought in for all of us. It looked like there was only one waitress and a hostess/busser helping. I will say, the service was impeccable. Our waitress, Araceli (I think), was awesome. We were a family of 11. Our orders were taken promptly including multiple appetizers, entrees, and drinks. Food came out quickly. The portions were large, we all had to take to-go boxes home. We had a variety of food. I had a grilled cheese and french fries (I'm picky). My son had a hot dog and fries, hubby had a steak sandwich. Others had a patty melt, hamburgers, enchiladas. Everyone was satisfied with their food. Meanwhile, the hostess/busser was constantly making sure our drinks were refilled. A very pleasant visit to the American diner type restaurant. While the inside was a little warm, that really was nothing to complain about. This restaurant was a comfortable restaurant suitable for families or anyone travelling through June Lake. Also, the prices were very reasonable. read more

Tiger bar fun fact 2nd generation built in 1938 they have 2nd longest liquor license in California. The original owner nickname was Tiger so they just kept it. They have a bar they say breakfast is pretty busy we had lunch and patty melt fresh and good with seasoned fries that we great, also a hamburger the bread was super fresh and all the food was hot Steiger from the grill.

It was okthere is not much in June lake to begin with the food was like a fast food diner.

There are places that don't just serve drinks, they serve stories. The Tiger Bar is one of them. It's been here longer than most of the cabins. Maybe even longer than the balanced rock when you enter town. Longer, some say, than the trout in the lake themselves. Locals speak of it the way one might refer to an old uncle, cantankerous, craggy, full of tall tales, and absolutely essential. They say that when the state cracked down on illegal gambling, the Tiger Bar's lone slot machine met its watery grave in June Lake. Just picture it: chrome and cherries sinking into the alpine blue, swallowed by time and trout. Inside, the bar is old, and it doesn't pretend otherwise. Rustic wood, antlers, bar stools with just enough wobble to remind you you're not in LA anymore. The air smells faintly of beer and stories half-told. And the staff? Salty. Jaded. Cynical. In other words: perfect. Don't expect smiles or syrupy pleasantries. Expect sarcasm with a side of sass, maybe a raised eyebrow if you ask for oat milk. But that's the dance, my friend. That's the price of entry into this sacred institution. It's quieter these days. The crowds thinner, the laughter more sporadic. But it endures. The Tiger Bar has always been here. And it always will be. Part watering hole, part myth, part museum of high-altitude Americana. And if you listen closely, between the clink of glasses and the rustle of wind through the pines, you'll hear the ghosts of a thousand fish tales whispering: "One more round." read more
