Whiskey Dave's

10/10. A group of myself + 10 people came in Monday night a couple weeks ago. It was a slow night but we really made the best of it, played pool, hung out on the patio, even danced on the dance floor for a bit. Tim was our bartender & he was so helpful & so nice to our big group. 100/10 service from Tim. I asked him when the outdoor gets busy & he let me know usually during the summer, so I'm excited so come back when it's a bit busier & see the vibes then.

Came in for 1 sip with the fam and turned into 3 rounds each First time having a pickle back shot too!!! Cool ambience. Very spacey Even better from service with Amanda and I believe his name Chris/ or Kyle Happy holidays y'all

A classic dive bar in the heart of Big Bear. There's plenty of room at the bar, several pool tables, a nice outdoor patio, live music on the weekends and a plethora of TV's for the sports. The crowd can get lively. Fortunately the security staff will eject troublemakers. The village goes to bed pretty early, but Whiskey Dave's is open until midnight.

The MANAGER Ben was demeaning, rude and aggressive. My friend brought it to his attention that a metal rod sticking out of the booth ripped a hole in her jeans. Instead of Ben being understanding, he was argumentative when we asked for our $5 cover charge back as compensation. He was speaking over us, cussing towards us and refused to hear us out when we declined free drinks because we were LEAVING the bar. Murray's Saloon is way better! Go there instead.

We were visiting for the weekend and ended up in this establishment. Great choice! Plenty of pool tables. The vibe was relaxed, secure, clean and the bartender made a mean old fashioned! Definitely will visit again when we're in the area.

First time in Big Bear, went to this place From outside looked like a good place, However, they said we had to order food and drinks at bar and pick up what we ordered, then after we ordered they said after we placed our order we had to pay cash no credit card our debit card accepted, they had an ATM machine that charged 5% on withdrawals. Good thing i had $140 cash to pay for order .... Do not recommend coming here.... Service is Very Slow too....

Such a fun night. Hang out with Tim and drew - they'll hook you up! Come for karaoke, stay for pool and the fun bartenders.

Brought my son here to celebrate his 21st. Only for them to accuse him of using a fake ID and trying to confiscate it. Once we asked for them to call the cops to get ID back, we were given ID and asked to leave. Place was dead.

There was 8 of us in whiskey dave's all with nevada ids on 2/22/25 at around 7:15 pm, the bartender thought two people in our parties ids were fake and was holding it even though they are 21 and 25. He served all of us on Thursday night 2/20/25 and due to the lack of business in the establishment i would imagine he remembers our group especially being 8 of us and just two days apart. Instead of handling it respectfully and cordially he was extremely dismissive and disrespectful.

Drinks were great, food took way to long for a basket of fried cheese sticks, kitchen guy was stoned, ended up leaving without the food.
