This place has been in June Lake for a long time and has been a great place to come for me and my family. Great mountain bar and grill that is very family friendly. Food is fantastic. Service is fantastic. Jill always takes great care of us. Highly recommended. I love their Bloody Mary too!Kid-friendliness: Kids menu with some good options. The always safe chicken strips and chicken nuggets are really good. Coloring menus and crayons availableWheelchair accessibility: Easy entrance that is flat through front door.

We stopped in here after a perfect day of hiking...as we 3 wanted a cold PBR and some pool. The environment is old school, comfortable, simple, and you'll want to stay, just like we did. We sat at the bar, played some pool, listened to some killer tunes, made some new friends at the table, but best of all....I took a chance and ordered those absolutely, amazing macaroni and cheese stuffed pretzels that were on the special menu that night! Holy frickin moly!!! And I thought my day was already perfect...pshh

The staff was very fast and friendly.I’m very picky about fried food and the fried pickle chips and onion rings were excellent.Bloody Mary’s were slightly inconsistent but delicious (different people hand making them quickly)When the place was PACKED we waited no more than twenty minutes.We asked for modifications to our food items and the staff handled it with ease.I also don’t understand the other reviews about them being “opposed to out of towners”. They were very friendly to us and all the other out of towners here.In a small town with limited options, joints like this have the choice to not deal with customers who are jerks. I’m assuming that is what other reviewers dealt with.

Don’t expect great service. When ordering don’t ask a lot of questions (especially if you’re ordering from Josh) just make sure you know what you want. The food is not bad and the drinks are good. This is the kind of bar that does not put up with fussy people or out of towners. I am not say this is a bad thing just beware and BE NICE TO THE STAFF. As the story goes the Tiger Bar was once a gambling hall in the 1930’s and when stat regulators can around the took all the slot machines and threw them into June Lake. Multiple scuba divers have looked for them but never found them. Bottom line order your drinks quick and then be happy!

Food was definitely delicious atmosphere was 😊fun. It is a must to go and visit if you are on town. There was 1 server for the entire restaurant and he was fantastic I literally couldn't believe my 👀 eyes that he maintained the bar and served all the tables. He didn't skip a beat!

BAN THE TIGER BAR. Read the reviews!! This is NOT the 1930s. Tiger Bar is actively discriminating. Tiger bar should NOT be this out of date and blatantly discriminatory. It is beyond sad how the Tiger Bar has become run down and disgraced in the last few years. IMPORTANT Tiger Bar is not ADA compliant. MORE IMPORTANT the Tiger Bar staff actively discriminate and racially profile "customers". On top of that, the Tiger Bar is not kid friendly, the food is terrible and the service is just obnoxiously bad. Save your money and gas, there are better restaurant options in Mammoth or Lee Vining. #BanTheTigerBar

All was good until we split the bill into three. One of us gave cash tip of 20 dollars cuz that’s the only cash we had Jill got very upset making her remark “That’s all I get on a 300 dollar bill with an angry face. Well everyone else was leaving a tip added to there debit cards. She should have looked before making her remarks. No one is obligated to leaving a tip. A tip is left when someone is extra happy with the service. And we’re treated well. Which we were until the tip problem happened.

Not the best food in the world, but for the price, and considering where you are, I would come again. Staff are friendly, have food prepared promptly. Plenty of parking, restrooms are nice. Entrance, seating, and restroom are all accessible. Would say better than average bar food, not real great, but very good all things considered.

Excellent service and food!I had the Pineapple Burger, Yum!The best way to find these shops and eateries is to park along the street or lower parking lots and walk the small town of June Lake.Enjoy the small town atmosphere and people and WOW, the scenery is Spectacular!

Had lunch here while visiting June lake loop. Tried Veggie burger, French fries and it is good. Bean burrito is too liquid. Service is too slow. Prepare for this.

Stopped here for dinner, around 6:30 pm on a Thursday. Busy spot! June Lake brews on tap. Tasty.We ordered pastrami sandwich and fish and chips. Decent food and came out quickly. Unsure about all the negative reviews. I’m just disappointed I didn’t order the enchilada bc it looked amazing.Just a tip, if you are an out of town visitor, just BE A NICE PERSON, don’t expect the same service you get at home. You are in a new place, just chill.The staff is busy, but doing a great job, we were in an out within an hour. Plenty of parking, super clean bathroom.Perfectly fine by me!

The restaurant staff was unwelcoming and rude. They displayed racist attitudes toward us. The service was poor, and we were compelled not to leave any tip due to the continuous bad attitude from the staff. The food quality was disappointing, except for the French fries. The fish and chips, chicken tenders, taco burrito, etc., were below average and not fresh.When we asked for the bar menu, the staff member responded rudely and asked us to order any cocktail. Despite this, we refrained from responding in a similar manner as we were there as a family. We could have ordered an unfamiliar cocktail to challenge him, but his rude and racist behavior discouraged us from doing so.If you plan to go to June Lake and if you want to have a delicious meal in a relaxed place, look for other options. This is definitely the wrong place with the wrong owner and staff.

Jake and Josh were great! The chef made us wonderful meals. We started with a half order of nachos with meat. Plenty of fresh veggies and real cheese. I had the burrito grande and the wife a chef salad. Both made with fresh ingredients and tasted fabulous! We had a BLAST! Thanks fo the Good Time.

This place sucks now. I don’t know how it’s still in business. I come up here every few months and every single time the service is trash. The only way to get service is to sit up at the bar. The food is terrible. I got a chili size and the meat was still frozen. You come in for a couple drinks and some appetizers and it takes two and a half hours before you cash out and leave. You walk in and it takes ten minutes to be acknowledged. You sit and you’re there for 20 minutes at the table before you walk out. Terrible to see a place I’ve been visiting for over 30 years go so far downhill.

One of the best diners I’ve been to on the road. Staff is friendly and honest. The food is very soulful, I had the French dip and it was very tender with a savory sauce. My wife got the open face hot dog with the extra Tiger chili and she loved it. Best part of the meal was the beer battered French fries, they go great with a side of ranch. Highly suggest if you are staying June Lake or just passing through

Our recent visit to Tiger Bar and Cafe was unfortunately marred by the rude behavior of two staff members. Despite our anticipation of a pleasant meal on a Saturday evening, our experience took a disappointing turn.Right from the start, we were met with indifference by the the old waiter left us quite dismayed. His impoliteness was surprising; he appeared uninterested in taking our orders, and his dismissive attitude made us feel like an inconvenience.Even when we asked for information about the menu, he responded with impatience and provided minimal assistance, leaving us uninformed about our meal choices. This is especially disheartening in a place that's supposed to provide an enjoyable dining experience.The most dismaying part of our experience was the waiter's reaction when we decided not to leave a tip due to his discourteous service. As we were leaving, he came outside and sarcastically shouted, "Thank you so much." This unprofessional behavior only deepened our dissatisfaction.To our astonishment, the lady accompanying him, who appeared to be the owner, showed us THE MIDDLE FINGER, an utterly disrespectful and offensive gesture. Such conduct from restaurant staff is inexcusable and severely damages the reputation of the establishment.Additionally, we couldn't help but notice what appeared to be racism.

I rarely ever post a negative review of an eating establishment but I must about this really bad experience I had recently. This review is for the owner of the Tiger Bar and Cafe that you know this in order to stop this type of behavior in your staff and keep your business from losing more out of town patrons. I stopped in on Monday Sept 25th at 11:30 to order 6 orders of take out lunch on the recommendation of a friend that goes to June Lake every year, this was our first experience in June Lake and at an eating establishment there. My mother was not able to come into the restaurant due to physical restrictions so we decided that take out would be best due to her condition. I mention to the first person who I believe she was the owner when I came in that I was wanting to order take out lunches. She said that the waitress would be with me shortly. Meanwhile 3 other parties sat down in the restaurant after me and immediately had their orders taken and were treated like family being they knew everyone around them. After waiting an additional 10 minutes I was told that I would be seen soon. Another party comes in and sat down and again their orders taken, I was never talked to. I then asked when I could order and was rudely told that customers in the restaurant were first and takeout was second "No Exceptions". I was shocked at how rude and curt this waitress was towards me. I then left and found great service and items for lunch at the local market where the owner went out of his way to accommodate my family for only $40. Sorry Tiger, you let an order of over $150 get away due to your very rude and crass waitress. Takeout orders are just as valid as eat in. You need to have a heart to heart with your staff and let them know that they should treat takeout like the regulars. To others thinking about takeout at Tiger, beware.

Thank you Gwynnith for taking care of me. You were very sweet and funny.On the food, it was great and when they brought the pie, it was over. It was so good. I really recommend the blueberry pie. The food portions were perfect, they didn't over do it or under do it either. It was the perfect amount. Great restaurant definitely coming back.

The place is clean, staff is nice. Service is sort of slow but I'm guessing that it's because it was busy.Coming into the restaurant we were excited to finally get to eat. We were seated right away. I've read other reviews talking about staff not dealing well with out of towners, which we were, so that explained a lot. We were a group of brown people. We got a lot of stares by other customers and their kids in the restaurant. Even after we were seated we were still being stared at. It was extremely uncomfortable and even though I was hungry coming in-- I lost all appetite. I come from a big city where I had never experienced something like this before. My table and I just ordered drinks since we already had been seated and given utensils.The hot chocolate was good.Their Mexican specials were really expensive for how cheap the actual ingredients are. One taco is +$3 which I found to be insane. Everything seemed overexpensive. I wouldn't come back.

I especially enjoyed the nachos here! Pleasantly surprised when we were told we could order from the lunch menu 1 hour before close. Good prices, kind staff!

Back half of the establishment smelled like a bathroom gone wrong. Tried to mention this discreetly to Jill (the owner?) and she didn’t offer a solution then told me I should go somewhere else. Rare customer service tactic.Pretty decent bar but feces smell + weird vibes from Jill definitely put a negative spin on the experience… bummer!

Not the place i would normally go but out of limited options in June lake decided to grub lunch here. I was refused entrance with my service dog by the bartender on this picture, which is a violation of ADA. His friend (also on this picture) was also making fun of me saying that you all say it's a service dog and stuff like that and it was very humiliating. BBB and ADA complaints to follow.
