Cafe del Soul

Every town has places where the locals go to have fun, and Emerald Bay fits the bill in South Lake Tahoe. Emerald Bay Bar & Grill serves breakfast, lunch and dinner daily and offers daily happy hour specials. Be sure to try their famous $2 tacos, Chili Verde weekend breakfast and Steak and Shrimp Saturday dinner. The sports bar is a gathering spot for friends to meet and watch the game on one of the nine flat-screen TVs. This is a great spot for outdoor dining on the large patio with a fire pit as its centerpiece and horseshoes to play. The everyday happy hour runs from 3 to 6 p.m. and includes specials on beer, wine and liquor. Breakfast, running from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., has long been a locals' favorite, with specialties such as the colossal country-fried steak, crab Benedict, Summit Sandwich and more. Don't miss Emerald Bay Bar & Grill's famous Ultimate Bloody Mary on weekends during the football season.
