We can all explain why the Lake Tahoe area is as popular as it is with locals and visitors. The mind-blowing beauty of Mother Nature is probably explanation No. 1. All the exhilarating ways to get into the surrounding environment would likely come in second. But somewhere near the top of that list will be all the fun to be had après ________ (fill in the activity … doesn’t have to be only ski!). And a whole lot of that fun can be found in Lake Tahoe bars and pubs. When the sun sinks behind those mountains and the glow covers that lake, it’s _____ time (fill in the blank again … martini, craft beer, margarita … doesn’t have to be Miller!). We play hard here, with hard being relative. South Lake Tahoe bars options take first prize due to the huge variety of them, but your favorite spot might be discovered in any of our towns. The best bars in Lake Tahoe might be hole in the wall, smoky joints that serve the best bourbon you’ve ever tasted, classy casino digs that specialize in shaken, not stirred or that rustic bar with the huge roaring fireplace and your favored shiraz on pour. Your Lake Tahoe bar … your choice.
