Everything was spectacular! From the bartender to the food to the drinks! Best place in Yosemite Village! Look no further! Chinese Chicken Salad was out of this world! Compliments to the chef who replicated the Hainan chicken sauce and seasoning because it was SPOT ON! Highly recommend! Wings were good and shoestring fries were delicious!Red Fox Wine was a blend of red wine and hot apple cider! Yum! General Sherman IPA hits the spot!Ambiance was great and just what I imagined a pub would be like! Great music and good vibes.

By far the best food in Yosemite Village!I still can't believe how good everything was and that it was coming out of here. Kept coming back because nothing else in the village compares. From the super fresh and large salad to the perfectly crispy tempura shrimp, and they even put out an amazing smash burger with tons of caramelized onions. The menu is very small but everything tastes delicious and is executed beautifully. Bartenders are awesome and very friendly and if you don't find a specialty cocktail your heart should desire on their menu they'll gladly make you whatever you'd like. This place does get very busy once the sun goes down. It's very casual and the music is great. There's a small area to sit inside but you may also take your food out to the main food hall right next door or eat outside where there's even more seating. Thanks to the awesome staff and whoever put this menu together. I'd love to keep this place to myself but that wouldn't be right. Enjoy!

Tenaya Tempura Shrimp with Chili Crisp, Ash Oil, Charred Cabbage, Furikake, Cucumber and Tempura Sauce.I'm sorry, this is the kind of food they serve at Campsites in Yosemite?? And here I was thinking I'd be snacking on hot dogs and granola bars all weekend. What a delicious meal to have in the middle of a national park! I was blown away by the complexity of textures and flavors in this dish for the affordable price of $15.50. Highly recommend checking out Bar 1899 if you're ever onsite! This is inside the 7 Tents Pavilion, so you may end up in cafeteria seating, but it has a few tables inside the bar itself too. Servers will bring you your food when it's ready and beer is served immediately.

My cousin and I recently shared a burger and drinks at Bar 1899.Bar 1899 is located in Seven Tents Pavillion in Curry Village, right next door to the Pizza Deck.My cousin ordered a tall beer, while I ordered a pint, which she had to finish for me. The beer was actually really good-- I just have a low tolerance for alcohol. We ordered the Sierra Smashburger to share. When my cousin asked the bartender if she could cut the burger in half or split it onto two plates, she said, 'I can give you an extra plate.'Understandable. I guess it isn't a super fancy establishment. She didn't bring us a second plate at first, but did after we reminded her.The burger was about the size of a McDonald's Double Cheeseburger. It was okay. The meat tasted kind of burned. Unfortunately, we didn't notice until we were almost done eating that the burger was missing the grilled onions that it was supposed to come with. The fries were okay. Not bad, nothing special. There isn't much variety in Yosemite, so there's a good chance I would give this place another try. I love the ambiance, and think it could be a nice place to eat, if only the food were a little better.

Always a must while in curry village. We also grab a drink along with our pizza deck dinner. We tried the agave smash and aperol Betty- both delicious- and also tried the 6 piece expedition wings- great flavor and reminded me of a Thai chili sauce! Quick and friendly service too! All of it was a great accompaniment to our pizza order and there is no better treat after a long hike than some yummy cocktails!

Lost in the wilderness of Yosemite and craving a decent meal? Nestled within the food court in the Curry Village, Bar 1899 offers a welcome escape from typical cafeteria fare. While the menu is small - think burgers, tacos, wings, and some salads - it delivers big on taste, especially considering the limited options in the park.Ordering is simple - head to the counter, place your order, and grab a number to display on your table. Despite the Friday night rush (it was packed around 8:30 pm!), service was fast and friendly.I opted for the Sierra Smash burger, a two-patty masterpiece featuring caramelized onions, American cheese, and their signature 1899 sauce, all served with a side of fries. While the presentation was a bit on the messy side, the taste did not disappoint. The caramelized onions added a touch of sweetness, and the 1899 sauce was a clear winner - flavorful and tying everything together. However, the patty itself was a bit dry, and the bun could have been a bit warmer.I wouldn't recommend ordering a coke from here. You'll mostly get ice and no drink. Minor shortcomings aside, Bar 1899 is a lifesaver for anyone seeking a burger upgrade in Yosemite. It's undeniably better than the neighboring Seven Tents cafeteria, offering tastier food and a more relaxed atmosphere, despite the crowds.Overall, Bar 1899 earns a solid 3 stars. The friendly service, decent selection, and decent (though slightly messy) burger make it a great option for a casual meal in Yosemite. Just be prepared for a crowd, especially during peak hours.

Don't walk by and miss it just thinking it's just a bar, they also have food and their food seemed more appetizing than at seven tents!---Smash burger sliders: Yummmmm perfect crisp on the meat patties (they give you 2 patties per slider so very filling). Really hits to the spot especially after the half dome hike --Wings: just okay but we think they give us the thai sweet and spicy flavor not the Nashville hot

WOW FACTOR? Not really, except that they were open at 5:15 whereas the main restaurant did not open until 5:30NOT HAVE AGAIN: The chopped lettuce salad with chicken breast and mandarin oranges was ok but it had only about 4-5 mandarin slices and the chicken was just a few, very small slivers.

We were in Yosemite for the long weekend hoping to catch the Firefalls - during the day we took a few easy hikes and ended up near Curry Village at lunch time - we were told that Pizza Deck and Bar 1899 were open and both pretty good - so while the kids stood in line for pizza, hubby and I stood in the short line for food from the Bar. There were a couple tables inside but we were going to also bring in outside food, so we decided to grab a table outside - it wasn't hard, people were moving along when they were done eating - we ordered beer as well - and enjoyed our beer while we waited for our kids and our food. We ordered before our kids but our food took about 25 minutes to come out - the salad was pretty good and as expected, and the ribs were juicy and not over barbequed - pretty tasty - I felt like it needed a side dish, it was more like an appetizer - The bartender took our order, she was pretty busy, but she was still personable - we talked about her cool pinecone bottom tattoo - she got it in Santa Cruz - where my husband and I met - well she was busting her a** in there - Overall a very pleasant lunch

Great food, especially for the price! Perfect for lunch. Actually the best food we had in the Valley over the few days we were here, and far cheaper than our dinners at the high-end options.
