Slopeside Speakeasy — Restaurant in Big Bear Lake

Slopeside Speakeasy

Definitely a great place to stop at and grab a bite whenever you're at Snow Summit.

Now I don't know about you, but after a long day of snowboarding and skiing, your girl is definitely ready for a DRINK! Slopeside Speakeasy is tucked up above a set of the most treacherous stairs (I mean, who wants to continue climbing when they just finished a serious leg workout?!) so if you're ready to brave the heights then it is definitely worth it.

Slopeside has an outdoor patio and an indoor dining area. Since it was raining heavily on our visit, we opted to sit indoors and warm ourselves with cocktails. Slopeside is well-known for their extra spicy bloody marys, so if you're into that then even ordering their house vodka is well worth the price of $12.50.

I, myself, am a whiskey girl so I ordered a house whiskey ginger for the low price of $8.50 and it was definitely a heavy pour over 2 oz.

Since you've probably worked up an appetite, there is also an option for dining here. We ordered the chicken tenders and french fries for $9.50, chili cheese fries for $8, and a slice of pepperoni pizza for $7. The prices aren't terrible and the portions are well within the cost but definitely choose the biggest slice of pizza to justify the purchase!

One thing I liked was that they had a self-serve condiment station and fountain machine. Nothing quite like filling up on as many ranch cups and soda drinks to fill 'er up!

Overall, would definitely return here if I found myself at Snow Summit again. Hoping that the next time I go, it'll be much more animated since the weather was less...

Whenever we go skiing, we always have lunch here. The only issue is that drinks are served on the upper level and food on the lower level, which makes it uncomfortable to move between the two floors in ski boots. Another great thing is a very warm room where you can sit if you don’t want to be outside and take off your hat and gloves . The bartender is very professional and can make any drink you want. It’s really nice to take a break from skiing and enjoy a delicious drink. However, the food often gets cold by the time you...
