Cold Water Brewery and Grill

"I have only been here once but I absolutely love this place! I will be coming here every time I come to Lake Tahoe moving forward. Tyler was out server. Tyler is a very polite, personable guy, who is attentive to detail and knows his menu well. I liked the smokey old fashioned (see picture) and the pretzel (see pic) was the best pretzel I ever had in my life. No joke. Wings were great, I did the dry rub then added buffalo sauce myself. The caesar salad was solid too. I also recommend you try the homemade root beer. We had no room left for dessert. If you like music ask Tyler about his background as he has some interesting insights I could relate to. I really like the way the restaurant itself feels and is decorated. They put the football game on for me, which is always nice. I have nothing but good things to say and we will be back soon."

"Star ratings. 1 bad. 2 below average. 3 average / neutral. 4 good. 5 excellent. Loved that street corn came as a side for the tacos, great flavor. I wish i saw this more often. The only thing with the food was the Mahi tacos had too much sauce and put down first instead of on top, which caused the tortilla to soak up the sauce and split, making it difficult to eat. Sat outside, which I'd assume is your busiest spot. Thus, you'd put your most experienced servers. Ours was not. Every server has an off day. My wife was a server for nearly 20 years. Ours seemed to be newer and had a hard time keeping up. He'd only visit one table at a time, then go back in vs. stopping at a couple at a time to maximize his efficiency. Most tables just need a quick item. Beer flights come with up to 7 pours on the holder, which is nice. Good beer, better than most "tourist breweries". Limited outdoor seating. Larger groups could sit inside."

"This is a pleasant brewpub and restaurant. They have outdoor seating for those perfect summer days and plenty of seating indoors. The burgers were good and the mahi mahi tacos were awesome. They have a great selection of their beers on tap, which were crisp and refreshing. The restaurant is a little pricey, but that’s life in South Lake Tahoe. There was plenty of parking when we stopped in for lunch."
