Black Diamond Tavern - Big Bear Lake

We went off the trails and wanted to get beer and a bite. This place exceeded our expectations. Grilled chicken sandwich was totally bombarded with a full Serrano pepper on it. Hawaiian rolls were also a great choice. It can be employed to accelerate and order your order only to the bar, instead of waiting for the waiting staff. They're overwhelmed, kind of understated. Make reservations if you want table. I like the bar.

Fun for dinner and drinks! I tried the Bar-b-Que Chicken Pizza! You have a variety of choices to choose from! Ribs, fillet mignon, salmon, pizza, Sanwiches, burgers, salads and a full bar. Excellent customer service! Friendly staff!

Delicious food: Get a burger while you are here. We had the tavern and the blue. They were even better than expected. Side salad came with Heirloom tomatoes (big plus). Fries cooked perfectly. The attached picture does not do justice. Strong Libations: The Moonridge (at a reasonable $10) was my favorite. Lagunitas on tap. Friendly service: Fast and conversation. Live Music: Great guy who works live, acoustic covers. Great song selection, great voice and great volume. We were able to humiliate with our favorites and also conduct a conversation. Beautiful ambience: Well decorated. You can dress up. We saw both heels and flip-flops, polos and tshirts. Come on!

Went in to see the Notre Dame v. USC game. It's a little away from the crowded Big Bear Village, but that's a good thing. Large quantity in this modern decor dining. The service was friendly and attentive, although it was a busy night, and the dishes and drinks were excellent. The Spicy Julio (jalapeño infused margarita) was perfect and I recommended them to some others nearby; they were equally impressed. Margarita Pizza was as good as it gets, and sweet potatoes as an appetizer were perfect nearby. This is the place I will definitely go back to when in Big Bear.

Attentive staff, comfy seating, good draft beer selections, and a great happy hour!
