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.

If you love fresh-baked sourdough bread, Incline Bak'd is for you. Specializing in stromboli, focaccia bread sandwiches and focaccia bread pizza, they bake their own bread in-house using traditional methods and the finest ingredients. Their sourdough bread, from their own starter, is naturally leavened using unfermented beer wort combined with organic unbleached flour to capture wild yeasts and bacteria from the local environment, giving it a distinctive flavor and texture that can't be matched by commercial bread. You could say they have perfected the art of sourdough, which is easily disgested (low in gluten though not gluten-free), has a low glycemic index and provides probiotics for gut health. In addition to pizzas and sandwiches, Incline Bak'd offers salads, sides, desserts, beer and wine. Ask about their daily happy hour specials.

There are bars, and then there are hard-core watering-hole bars. Turn 3 is a loud and rowdy place that sees more business from locals than from tourists. The floor is covered with peanut shells from the free peanuts, and the crowd enjoys Nascar, pool (two tables on site), football and bingo, although not necessarily in that order.read more
