The Hangar - Taproom & Bottle Shop

Loved it here so much I stopped by 2 days in a row while in Tahoe. Fantastic beer selection, great staff and delicious food trucks. If you're a craft beer fan and love a good vibe then this is a must stop.

I like this place, we were looking for woodfire pizza and Get Rad Pizza didn't disappoint. Their wings were perfectly cooked and charred, the best. We also tried the fries at the Mac and Cheese spot and they were so good, fluffy and perfectly salted. The bathrooms were clean and pretty spacious, parking wasn't an issue. Overall a pretty great place to enjoy with family friends and even pets.

We love the Hangar. They have a great new music series this place is really cool! Drum outdoor vibes, food trucks and tasty beverages.

One of the most chill, cozy outside bars we've been to. Drinks are top notch. The outdoor areas are spacious and relaxing with a great view of the mountain valley right across. They have a stage for live music and shows outside under the tall trees and there were food trucks there when we went. The food was good but a tad bit more than overpriced for what you get, especially the pizza.

There for a live show, and it was a great place to enjoy a live concert with plenty of outdoor space and seating under the trees. Staff are awesome. Helping in finding parking on-site and if you do go, go early to get parking on-site it's a small lot, but staff make it work if you're there early enough. Plenty to drink and food trucks. Pizza is very good. Beers.. so many choices. Definitely recommend this place.

The Hangar Lake Tahoe is such a fun and relaxed place to spend an afternoon. The beer selection is fantastic, the outdoor space feels like a big backyard under the pines, and the whole atmosphere is welcoming and easygoing. It’s one of our favorite spots to unwind with friends!

Exceptionally friendly staff, incredibly varied and robust selection of beers. We got there 20 minutes before closing on Memorial Day Monday, and while we were expecting to get turned away, but he poured us a beer and chatted while cleaning up! Great experience.

This is a great spot to visit in South Lake Tahoe. There is a great beer selection on tap. They have bottles as well. They have a lot of craft breweries from CA. There’s a nice variety of beers, from sours to IPAs, ciders to Hard Kombucha. There is plenty of room in the nice outdoor Biergarten. There’s a 21+ game area with corn hole and bocce ball. Food trucks are there permanently. The have wood fired pizza and hot dogs. Both are great. Try out the Chicago style hot dog, you won’t be disappointed! There a lot of parking for free in the lot in front. Highly recommended. Probably one of the best places to grab a beer in the area! It’s also kid friendly with plenty of room for them to run around. There is a dog friendly area as well in the front of the tap room.

Stumbled upon this brewery and it instantly became one of our new favorite spots in Tahoe! They have a great variety of options--from classic beers to kombucha and other creative brews. We came on a Tuesday and were pleasantly surprised to find out it's Happy Hour all day with $2 off any drink. I ordered the hefeweizen, and it was perfectly refreshing after a long day of snowboarding. My husband got the POG kombucha, and we both ended up loving our drinks. The atmosphere is a huge standout too. There's a few tables for indoor seating, but the outdoor area is surrounded by tall forest trees, giving it a peaceful, tucked-away vibe and makes it a unique brewery atmosphere. They even have a few igloo-styled tents with heat lamps, which made it super cozy on a cooler day. Plus, there are food trucks parked outside, so grabbing something tasty to pair with your drink is super easy. Overall, awesome drinks, great ambiance, delicious food options nearby, and an unbeatable happy hour deal. Can't wait to come back next time we're in Tahoe!

The Hangar is a must stop if you're passing through South Lake Tahoe. This location offers amazing beer options, food trucks, and ample outdoor seating for you to enjoy the scenic sights and smells of Lake Tahoe. The service is fast and the outdoor games are a great way to spend some time with your group!

I don't think I can say enough good things about the spot, but I'm going to try. This place is an absolute gem! We stumbled upon The Hangar after reading all the great reviews, and it did not disappoint! The owner was incredibly friendly and accommodating, even though there was a ticketed concert that night (the last one of their summer lineup), he still let us stay to grab a pizza and a beer. We were able to hang out on the patio with our two small dogs while we waited for the pizza spot to open. My husband ordered the Fifty-Fifty Blonde Ale from Truckee, which paired perfectly with the all-meat pizza from Rad Pizza - seriously delicious! The crust was thin, crisp, and loaded with fresh ingredients. We were hoping to stay for the start of the concert, but it got a little too chilly for us and the pups. Still, we can't say enough good things about the atmosphere. The patio lights, bocce ball courts, heaters, and fire pits make this outdoor space a no-brainer for a relaxed Tahoe hangout. We originally wanted to check out the igloos (I think they might have been put away for the concert), but now we have an even better excuse to come back. This has definitely become one of our new favorite South Lake Tahoe spots - can't wait to return on our next trip!

Such a cool atmosphere here! They have small outdoor seating areas with heaters which we thought were neat. Their menu offered something for everyone, we all enjoyed our choices. Prices were reasonable and service was friendly. On our visit they had a pizza truck and a breakfast sandwich truck on property. Overall, just a really cool setup. I wish we had one of these in Reno!

Visited the Hangar for a concert recently and I was very impressed! It's fun to have an outdoor concert venue, and this is a casual venue with great beers on tap and several food trucks. Despite being a sold out show it wasn't overly crowded, and they have tables throughout the venue and space where you can relax. My only complaint was for this particular show, people brought their lawn chairs which really kills the ambience of attending a concert with an upbeat band. I couldn't believe my eyes watching all these people sitting right in front of the stage while this band is performing and trying to get people to get up and move. I hope the Hangar learns from this and at least sections of a floor space or has a designated seating area not right in front of the stage. I would attend another concert here in the future regardless, and appreciate the new venue and event space in SLT!

The Hangar is a great spot to see a show! We saw Hollow Coves play here on a beautiful September evening and it was a true treat. Upon arrival, there was a line to grab drinks though if you venture a bit father into the Hangar on a show night there are some much shorter lines to grab a beverage. It's all beer and cider here. No wine or hard liquor that I could find. There were also a few food trucks that looked great but I didn't partake. The space itself is a great open air spot with yard games and plenty of turf for seating. There are lots of picnic tables as well. The venue is great for live music. It's small and they do a great job not overselling it. It's very intimate and you can get very close to the stage. I loved being able to see the band up close and the band had such great crowd interaction. Parking here is pretty easy even after their lot fills up. There is plenty of street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods. Go enjoy a show here! I highly recommend.

The Hangar has a large and good beer selection on tap! They had Humble Sea Brewing which is one of my favorites. It's open seating and when I came Friday night there were only about 2 tables left. They have a huge space but not enough seating to fill it up. The night before we tried to check it out and were turned away because it was a ticketed event - check their website for their schedule!

What a cool spot! This small beer garden really delivers. A large selection of brews, ciders, and seltzers is available inside the tap house. The food trucks are parked on the property! You can order what you want and hang out at any of the many tables. I came for a concert and got to enjoy a drink and some dinner on site. It was a fantastic way to spend an evening before a show. This is the quintessential local Tahoe venue. It is low key, not pretentious. Come and hang out under the trees and the stars. I am looking forward to the concert series next summer!

The Hangar is our go-to spot every time we visit South Lake Tahoe, and for good reason. Tucked beneath tall pines, this outdoor beer garden serves up serious vibes, relaxed, dog-friendly, and effortlessly cool with great service. Their craft beer flights are a must-try! The atmosphere is super inviting: picnic tables, music, plenty of open space, and that mountain air you can't get enough of. Bonus points for the igloo-like domes and how dog-friendly the whole place is. Highly recommend if you're looking for great beer, relaxing vibes, and a little sunshine.

I came here for a concert last week with my friend and we had sucha good time. This is a true beer garden. There were three spots for beer. One inside that had tons of draft beers, seltzers and sours. There was one booth near the stage selling a couple beers and a seltzer and then one other tent selling just beer. They had a variety of food trucks during the show including a taco truck and pizza truck. The venue itself is so cute. It's not too big where you feel drowned out by people. Intimate and chill vibes. Lots of open area to sit or stand to watch the show. Bathrooms are either sanihuts or two inside the small bar area. I would definitely come back here for another show. So fun

Absolute favorite spot to grab beer in SLT. They have an incredible selection on tap and a variety of food trucks to choose from if you are hungry. Our favorite is the pizza truck. Check The Hangar's website for each trucks schedule. Select areas (off of the turf) are dog friendly and there are plenty of spots to park your bike. During the Summer months it can get crowded and the parking lot can fill up.

They have wifi but it's only for 60 MB which means that you can't come here to do some work and enjoy a couple of beers because 60 MB is sort of useless. I am willing to pay a fee to get more Internet access so that I can stay longer, but there is no option to pay for more Internet. As a consequence, my stay was on the 15 minutes. I'm heading to the next taproom down the road.

I love the location, great selection of beers, and a nice bartender. We were hungry and would have loved if Melt truck opened but it never did. We will try again in the summer months. Looks like a great place to see live music

All beer no wine or cider. They had a good pizza food truck outside. The vibe is cute, definitely a good spot to check out. We were given a recommendation for a good wine spot from the guy working there.

Edit: Back the next night for two pints and a pizza. Great service and everything delicious! Absolutely delicious IPAs, quick service, and a fun outdoor space. There were two food trucks on site although we were headed to dinner later so we didn't eat here. Loads of seating outdoors under the pines and in the shade. When we were there part of the outside was set up for a wedding reception. Nicely done and still plenty of space for walk-ins like us.

Cute place! I enjoyed the atmosphere and vibe the first time I came without my family and was waiting for my Airbnb and enjoyed a beer by the tasting room. I decided to come back with my family for the food trucks and to enjoy some drinks but all the passive aggressive signage toward customers with children is excessive and was a big turn off. We felt like everywhere we turned there was a sign saying something distasteful about kids or parents. Also their huge cornhole area is only 21+, along with a sign saying you have to "buy everyone at the hangar a round" if your kids go in lol... it was empty the entire time we were there unfortunately. Very clear the owner doesn't like kids or had too many bad experiences? Hard to tell, maybe both. I didn't notice it my first visit because I didn't go on the grass area. Staff was overall friendly, allowed us to taste before pouring. Alcohol Selection is about 95% beer and 5% seltzers or hard kombucha, they had 3 kinds to pick from. Rad Pizza was awesome, quick and yummy. Taco truck was nothing special imo.

This place has an amazing atmosphere, especially in summer when they have bands playing. They also have two bocce courts. During winter they have heated igloos!

The hangar is cool little spot in South Lake Tahoe for craft beer enthusiasts! It got a small little serving area inside with some couches and tall table for those who like it indoors and outside there are lots of picnic tables and areas for groups- including see through igloo-like domes with picnic tables and space heaters inside for the real outdoor beer drinking enthusiasts! Also located onsite are several food trucks. The staff are helpful and kind (great service) and the crowd is great!

Beautiful, casual outdoor environment. I have not tried the food truck. The day we visited we had a couple of beers and said we will be back

Cool vibes, open concert is the perfect setting for Tahoe. Big enough capacity that it doesn't feel packed.

Hold up! The Hangar has been here for 6 years and we have never stopped by?!?! Crazy! Fun spot, loved the fire pits, and the service was perfect and attentive! The outdoor area was full of fun too! Food trucks were there but we didnt have any, but thats not why we were there! We will be BACK! The beer selection was pretty awesome too, something for everyone!

Since my last review all the area is updated. This place continues to be one of our favorite pit stops during our bike rides--it's like dangling a carrot before the horse! They consistently offer an impressive array of brews, ciders, and kombucha, catering to all tastes. Today we had 2 selections from Portland, OR's Great Notion brewery. 1. Electric Headband - A sour inspired by snow cones. My wife enjoyed it, but as someone not particularly fond of sours, it wasn't for me. 2. Single Stack - A stout infused with coffee and maple syrup. It was delicious. Be sure to visit their website for information on special events. And if, like me, you find picnic benches uncomfortable after a while, feel free to bring your own chairs. Cheers!

First time stopping for a beer. The place comfortable and nice atmosphere. Bartenders friendly! We ordered 2 pizza's and they were good. Definitely will return.

What an awesome place for a pit stop while taking a drive around the lake! Huge selection of beers and some ciders, both draft and in cans. They also have food trucks although I did not partake. The staff were very nice as well. Lots of dogs and plenty of room to enjoy a drink under the trees. I would definitely come back here!

Choose this place due to its wide variety of beers. It had good parking and a great outdoor area. However the service was not very pleasant. The man behind the bar gave me a rude and condescending response. I won't get into detail but this place definitely does not represent the beer culture that I know and love.

The food trucks are fun, although it is not really family friendly, I get that it is hard to be a bar that allows toddlers to have fun, but why in the world do yall only allow 21 year olds to play corn hole? There are people who can drive but not play corn hole. And the sign, yall would honestly be a 4.7 if yall just put it somewhere a bit less imposing, the beer is pretty good though.

The Hangar is always a must stop spot whenever we're in Tahoe. The beer is amazing, they sometimes have live music and food trucks, but the place itself is amazing. they couldn't have chosen a better location. You can sit back and enjoy a beer while feeling like you're on vacation. It's really so great. It's also kid friendly. But be warned, only well behaved children allowed. Which really is to be expected. My parent pro tip for you is to bring games, coloring books or tablets with movies on them. It will be an enjoyable experience for everyone. It's essentially a restaurant, not a playground so your kids shouldn't be running around like wild animals. I say this as a parent of 2 children that are 6 and 9 and I have been going here every year for the last 4 years. So if I can do it, you can too! ;). If you're in the area, I highly recommend.

This place is awesome! The drinks are great and there's always something new to try. The food trucks rotate schedules so there's different options daily. Everything we tried was very tasty! The outdoor seating area is huge and was a great place for our little nephew to run around and burn off some energy. We were only in Tahoe for a week but ended up coming here 3 different times. We will absolutely be back on our next visit!

The food was good, the music was good, but the pot smoke drove us out. It was overwhelming and super rude. I would think the venue could lose their license allowing this. It was the group leaning on the fence last night.

Beautiful outdoor space to enjoy an amazing selection of craft beers! More awesome styles and local California and Pacific Northwest breweries than anywhere!

Beer was good; hot dog food truck was yummy and the place feels clean! No dogs on the grass area and a sign reminds parents it's not a playground. Was nice to not have kids and dogs overrunning the place (and I have kids and dogs). Thank you!

Without a doubt the best brewery in South Lake Tahoe! Such a great selection of beers. Staff is great and the outdoor are is so spacious and split into different sections for people with pups. I love coming by here when camping nearby. Too many great beers on this visit to recommend any specific. I simply recommend getting a flight and going with your favorite. On this occasion they had two food trucks parked up in the grassy area which offered hot dogs and pizza. I opted for a slice of cheese pizza which was a little pricey but pretty good. Do yourself a favor and come by The Hagar, you won't be disappointed!

Fun spot to stop when in south lake! Good selection of tasty beers! They had a pizza and gourmet dogs food trucks while we were there. We opted for the hotdogs and they were really good. Dog friendly which is great! However, just to note dogs are only allowed in the front patio area not on the nice grass turf area which was a little bit of a bummer. But overall, fun place to enjoy a drink and the outdoors!

Hello, unfortunately I cannot leave a good review or high rating at this establishment. My very legal friend (who is 23) was denied service and accused of having a fake ID, even though her ID was very real. Instead of actually trying to be productive and find a solution, they instead shot down every avenue to verify her age, including calling the authorities and using her passport. We weren't going to publicly comment or leave any bad reviews, but once the staff decided to publicly make fun of my friend in front of other customers, we cannot let this go. My friend left a very honest review of her experience and the response from Nate, the business owner, was extremely rude and lacking in any type of accountability or customer service. Although my friend cannot respond to Nate's comment, I want to add her response here: Hi again! No one was under 21. I'm glad none of you know what a real ID looks like. Super professional! If you thought it was a fake ID you should have taken it! I offered to call the cops and you said no. I offered to show my passport, and guess what? You said no. I really love being told to go somewhere else. Once again my favorite part was being made fun of in the bathroom line while the bartenders were taking shots.

Hello everyone. If you decide to come here, be aware of a brunette bar tender with tattoos. She's about 40 years old and will deny you if you are 23 and have a valid ID. After she already denied you, she will also approach you outside of the bar, cuss at you, and accuse you of drinking a beer. In addition, if you go inside to use the restroom she will be taking shots. Do not fear, on top of everything else, she will point at you and laugh with her fellow bartenders. - From a gal just trying to have a nice evening (with a valid ID)

Awesome place to drink and hang out! Everything was delicious. Will definitely be back!

Like many others have said, I'm sure it would be great if we didn't have kids. Super odd how they lean hard into the "we are not kid friendly" vibe. Unnecessary comments and looks from staff. Could be a fun place!

Best place to hang out in the basin (north, south, east, west and truckee included). Excellent beers on tap that are always changing so it doesn't get old. Great food trucks. Huge outdoor area with artificial grass that is great for sprawling out, large groups, and families. Super friendly crew. They have a concert series in the summer for us growd-ups only which has become a new date night favorite.

Friendly faces with an apparently bottomless well of passion and knowledge about the beers they serve - that's what we encounter the moment we step in this charming, neighborhood yard-style setup. And a fab selection of beer, both on tap and in the cooler. Only one food truck was open, but we liked the place so much we bought food from the other truck (meh, tbh), a hat, and a four-pack of an orange-marshmallow beer. Fun!!

We stopped by after a long day of tubing and glad we came here! They have an awesome selection of beers to choose from, as well as small indoor seating. Since we came during winter, we sat in one of their warm "igloos" that came with a propane heater and a large circle table. The service was quick and friendly, and we loved the pizza food truck that was on-site that day. Definitely recommend!

We go here every time we are in town. Dog friendly, although they have areas that are off-limits to dogs, too. (It is spacious, and the division makes complete sense.) Dogs must be on leashes: common sense. Great selection of beers. You order at the counter; the bartenders are knowledgeable and personable.

the sad part is this place has really a really great beer selection and a wonderful outdoor area. unfortunately their service sucks! I asked for a splash of a few different beers to get a taste of a few different styles in order to narrow my selection. the guy behind the bar refused to give a sample splash because i was in the process of getting a flight. he commented that tasters are for people buying pints. My flight cost $16 and some change. A pint cost $9 on average. i came in with the thought of having a couple flights minimum and grabbing some crowlers to go. i did get 1 flight but that was it.

Welcome to South Lake Tahoe. Fall is kicking in and there is no better place to sit outside and enjoy the Hangars hand curated beer menu. Dozens of beers on tap and a hand selected cooler of beers from around the area. It's a place you can get something special. I've been here a couple of times and the outdoor environment is second to none. You wait in line, it usually goes pretty quick, and pickup your beer. There are picnic tables, cahirs and a big artificial grass lawn to enjoy yourself on. A stage for live music and a corn hole area round out the fun. Families are around and there is plenty of room for kids to stretch their legs but they do ask that you keep your more rambunctious kids at bay. It's a great spot on the west side of town and worth the visit.

I love the atmosphere at this location. They have a large outdoor area to hang out and several food trucks. The beer selection is top notch. I plan on coming back multiple times while I am in town.

We came here with some friends and our toddlers. Beer selection is ok, only one import choice, a Weihenstephaner which was good, no cider or wine options though. One Mexican food truck was open this day, and the food was below average to borderline gross. Very cool to see the big yard they have, about an acre of turf under the trees, but the sign to the entrance of the yard is fairly offputing. It says something like "Not a playground, dont leave your kids unattended, no running, screaming, climbing, or having fun(ok i made up that last one but it felt true.) I guess these people have never met toddlers having fun. Sure I'm not gonna leave my kid unattended, but I am gonna let her run and have fun. Pretty lame though that they have this awesome large grass area, but no play structure, toys, no toys allowed or really anything to keep our kids occupied. Great place if you don't have kids, but since I do have kids and still enjoy beer and enjoying the outdoors with my family, I wont be coming back.

digged the beer the ambiance was adorable food truck was okay. there is a grass area but no dogs were allowed so alot of the dogs were coralled up in a smaller section by the entrance. it was okay

South lake needs more of these types of local x visitor - craft beer- pizza oven - live music --- social scenes. Great place to bring your best buds or fam and jig to some live tunes and dancing. Enjoy the outdoor oven for some fresh pizza created by the team. Great beer on tap-- Pliny too for those that like it! Only disclaimer - no dogs allowed inside the "grassy" turf area whose live music happens. It's a shame really - but you can snuggle w your pup outside of that area as it does have tables and ample space. Hoping fire season ends soon so that you guys can come back to your full glory of food and fun! Cheers

The bartenders here WILL deny you service if they don't like the way your ID looks :/ my 23 year old friend was told she had a fake ID, but she had a passport to prove her age! Ms. Bartender, just because someone LOOKS young doesn't mean she's underage. It's not my friends' fault your 40 years has been nothing but bad genes! I hope they figure out a way to actually check for fake IDs, because clearly those years on that bartender aren't doing justice for her eyesight

Awful time! it was my first time coming here and I was so excited. The bartender would not serve my legal best friend and we had the worst time. They claimed that my legal best friend had a fake ID. Her ID is 100% real. Then they gave us attitude and stank eye. 0 star rating.
