Planning a trip to Lake Tahoe and looking for the latest hot spots? Here’s a list of some local-favorites to enjoy:

The Loft at Heavenly Village is open 7 days a week from 4 p.m. to 2 a.m., and features live theater, a lounge and dining.
Cold Water Brewery & Grill features craft beer, lunch, dinner and Sunday brunch, as well as special events and live music.
Mont Bleu Resort and The Hard Rock Casino offer several restaurants, bars and lounges alongside casino entertainment.
Feel like dining right on the lake? Riva Grill is open daily for lunch and dinner and has some of the best views around!
There are also spectacular views (and great food) to be found at Brook’s Bar and Deck at Edgewood Tahoe, which features award-winning pub fare. (Golf Digest selected it as a “best golf pub” in 2016!)
Or enjoy good German food and bier (along with trivia and open mic nights) at Himmel Haus.
Feel like something a bit cozier? Jimmy’s Restaurant (at The Landing) features several private dining alcoves, each with their own fireplace! There are also 5 fire pits on the patio and roof-top deck, which overlooks the lake.
Finally, another popular spot is McP’s Taphouse Grill, which has 40 beers on tap and live music Thursdays through Mondays.

The Knitting Nest

If you’re visiting Tahoe and looking to stay warm, consider visiting The Knitting Nest, located at The Eagles’ Nest at the top of Kingsbury Grade. This beautiful boutique yarn shop offers a curated selection of bags, art, jewelry and soaps (many by local Tahoe artists) as well as yarn and other knitting supplies. Explore the selection and then relax by the fire… what better way could there be to warm up on a cold day?

The Best Pizza in Tahoe

*Après-ski begs for great pizza… and Tahoe has it.*

We love pizza, and Tahoe boosts some of the best around! Some of our favorites are:

Lake Tahoe Pizza Company. This one’s a bit of a drive if you’re staying at the top of Kingsbury, but we think it’s worth it! The garlic chips make a wonderful appetizer, as does the salad bar, while you’re waiting for your pizza to cook.

Looking for something closer to home (when your home-away-from-home is the top of Kingsbury Grade)? Try Fox & Hound, another local favorite! With great views of the valley and a large menu (including burgers and BBQ), you can’t go wrong.

And for something right in the middle (at the Heavenly Village in Stateline), check out Base Camp Pizza Co. They often feature live music along with unique salads, wings and more.

Have your own favorites? Do tell!
