Food Scene

The prices are a wee bit on the high side, but the rooftop deck and fact that it's stumbling distance to the house make it the perfect spot to start or end your night. Our recipe for a great night out: walk down to Caliente, have a cocktail, then either walk or grab the free Night Rider Shuttle up to the Casinos for a show. OR head down the street to the other great restaurants in walking distance.

Happy Hour EVERY. SINGLE. DAY!! That's a rarity in our little tourist town where no one else does a Happy Hour on the weekends. Head down for half price margaritas and a cute little front patio that is right on the main drag. Also, the owner, Alejandro, might possibly be the jolliest, nicest human in existence. Tell him Monica & Matt say hi!

Best pizza in Tahoe, hands down! And a rooftop deck on the beach that makes you feel like you're on Venice Beach. Killer beer selection and a pretty mean gluten free crust. They don't deliver, but the atmosphere is great, so head on down there.

Part gourmet grocery store, part juice shop, part ridiculously-killer-sandwich shop. This little store packs a big punch in its small foot print. Go here to order a killer sandwich and browse their awesome beer collection while you wait. Take your lunch across the street to the big beach for a great afternoon.

This little market is the best Mexican food in town and is also a good spot for essentials that you don't want to go all the way to Safeway for. It kills us that they still use styrofoam to-go containers, but that's the only thing not absolutely delicious about this place!

Grab a coffee or breakfast on your way to the mountain! Darin, the owner, is often behind the counter himself slinging breakfast with a smile. Tell him Matt & Monica say hi and then try the breakfast burrito. Yum!

Drinks & Nightlife

Technically walking distance (although there's a hill to get there... but its downhill on the way home!). Check out the free Night Rider Shuttle to grab a ride there instead. Great shows, lots of bluegrass. The casino is small and definitely not Vegas-worthy, by any means, but its a small community casino that is pretty darn fun. Bonus Points: they have a great air system and keep the cigarette smoke to barely-perceptible levels.

A short walk from the house and some killer beers! This micro-brewery is a one-man shop. Tell Adam that Monica & Matt sent you! Check his instagram @bearbellybrewingco for hours and if there are any food trucks scheduled.

Essentials

Open 24 Hours. Good grocery store, but gets SUUUUUUUUPER busy from 3-7 every day when people leave the beach or come off the ski slopes. Plan ahead, or bring a book (no cell service in this place, no matter what provider you have)

Parks & Nature

Walk on down to one of the best beaches in Tahoe!! This is the "downtown" beach that you probably saw as you drove in. Come here for Music on the Beach every Friday in the Summer. It's a blast!!

Entertainment & Activities

The sweetest little golf course you ever did see!! Nine holes of historical, organically- and impeccably-maintained golf with Lake Tahoe vistas. Pretty awesome spot and the restaurant on site, Spindleshanks, is sooooooo good.
