Lake Bottom Brewery and Distillery - Visalia

First off, service was awesome! We stopped by on 1/24/25 a few hours before closing, The waitress was extremely nice and took her time to explain the menu. She was friendly and timely. The restaurant is split in to two, one being the bar area and the other the dining area. Huge tv's playing sports. Bathrooms were extremely clean. The food was great, beer was cold! Tri tip sandwich 10/10, bread was good, tri tip was juicy, bbq sauce was delicious Sweet potato fries + jalapeno aioli dip also 10/10. Tip ask for extra of this dip, with a hint of spice it paired perfectly with the sweet potato Fries. Chicharrones- fried pork skins served with salsa, made fresh so be careful as it came out pretty hot. 8/10, delicious however the salsa is very mild. My only complaint is that I wish they had spicier sauce options. Elote bites - 5/10, I wouldn't get this again. It is the contents of an elote, rolled in masa and deep fried. The concept is great but flavor just wasn't there for me. Also comings out piping hot so be careful with first bite. Cool spot on Visalias Main Street if you're in the mood for great tri tip!

Our second time here. This time we walked in, party of (3 adults, 1 kid) placed our order for drinks. One of the drinks was water down, the other 2 were okay. Placed our order for an appetizer (wings) this took over an hour, which we ended up cancelling. Other parties had arrived after us, and got their food but we didn't. Server provided terrible service.

5 stars for the fish alone. I am not normally a fish eater it's always just okay.. but when I tell you I ate the fish over my Tri tip sandwich that was tender and delicious too, but I just wanted that fish! Can't wait to go back just for the fish.. you only hear me say that for sushi never fried fish lol. The house made potato crisps were crunchy the next day at home! So delicious! We didn't really like the mild salsa (since it was our first time here we ordered both to try) the mild salsa is sweet.. perfect for kids or spice babies for sure. The hot one (which isn't that hot) just has a more robust and deeper flavor that we enjoyed way more! So spicy is the way to go! And I am also a sucker for tater tots lol they feed my inner child and these were perfectly crispy & soft! Also, why my husband and I loved it is because we are always looking for a restaurant opened a little later because of work schedules and this place had the kitchen open until 10:30 pm! In Visalia .. that's not normal for decent not fast food options. We were able to have date night without rushing and just enjoyed our night! Totally recommend it for a nice evening out! I heard they have a bar in the back, looking forward to going to check it out.

Tried the location in Visalia today and we were not disappointed!! Excellent service, great beer and food, awesome building and very clean. The build your own burger and the Whitley flatbread was absolutely delicious! Definitely recommend!

My husband and I were in town for Thanksgiving weekend and stopped in for a day drink before heading back to our hotel. We both ordered crafted cocktails and they were great. I wish I would have taken a picture of them. Service was wonderful and the bartender gave us her reccomendations. Ambiance was lively and we even had a great conversation with a local at the bar. I'd come back here again.

We had dinner in the bar area on a Monday night. The bar area is in the back and has a 4 screen television to watch sports and also some card games to play at your table. We had the vodka cranberry with Fresno state vodka, and the 22oz blood orange margarita. The vodka cranberry was pretty standard, but the margarita was delicious! We had the Lake Eggs as an appetizer. They could have used a bit more seasoning in the yolk mixture, but the bacon and jalapeño on top provided good flavor and fun textures. My husband enjoyed the buffalo flat bread a lot, and I really enjoyed the LB baked potato. Our server was also very friendly and attentive. We enjoyed it here and would definitely come back for drinks and a casual bite to eat. Also, make sure to look for the old vault door in the old brick wall that makes up the bar area!

Cozy bar with a huge TV. Nice place.Good beer choices and specials. Food is good with a lot of choices.

This is my second time here and every time I order the fish they are out of fish. It's lunchtime it's around noon. I don't understand how you can run out of something like that especially if it's popular anyway the tater tots are great. The hamburger was OK. The server seemed overwhelmed. We won't be coming back here again.

Had the LB Loaded Baked Potato. Bacon pieces were crispy and had a great flavor, but the cheese sauce was less exciting, it had a texture that resembled the canned nacho cheese and flavor was just ok- not a distinct cheddar or anything. Even though I was delayed picking my order, it was nice and hot, waitress was friendly and efficient.

I went there for lunch with a friend it was so good I had to go again today. The place is a small, cozy pub, quiet ambiance at lunch. The decor is clean and modern. The service was very fast. I ordered the carnivore flat bread, again. It is salty, tasty, savory, fatty, definitely the best flat bread I had the last couple of years. My fiend ordered the buria taco and he really liked it also. Need to go back and try their brew one day.
