Lake Bottom

Really good beer, good food with especially good fries, and service with a smile. The bar area is great for dining when the weather is too hot for the porch. The bar behind the back vault did is cool as heck and sends a great message!

Excellent appetizers! I loved the sweet potato fries and cauliflower! Many draft beer choices, and a signature vodka!

OMG THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!! Ladies, bring your man here I promise you, you'll get him pregnant 😏🤍 The food is DELICIOUS. The service is IMPECCABLE. ugh... you have a customer for life.

Blackened chicken Alfredo. DELICIOUS! Quick service, amazing margarita, pasta was to die for. Loved the games while we waited.

One of the best pulled pork sandwiches I've ever had, which is saying something. Friendly service, a little slow, but we were in no rush. Would recommend!

Food was great, service was good and clean and welcoming atmosphere. We ordered a flatbread, nachos and a burger. All were great and super filling! My favorite was a side of tater tots we ordered, perfectly cooked and a fun side! Great place just to catch up with friends with good bites

Food and drinks were very tasty! We drove from Ohio and this was one of our best meals! Great sports bar atmosphere! Erika our waitress had a great personality! She deserves a bottle of fresh brewed Bulldog vodka! We walked from our hotel, The Darling! Parking easily accessible on street.

The food is so good! We got the steak sandwhich and the spicy peach flatbread. Delicious! Mango jalapeño margarita was good too. Nice waitresses!

Never been here before, but heard many good things! Came here right on opening on a Saturday. We were greeted right away! Very courteous to all our questions and wide variety in alcohol choices. Ended up picking there taco fries special, pulled pork and peach flat bread. For drinks we went with one of their beer flights, figerella, bourbon mule, and their lake water. All very tasty and delicious. We could have stayed there all day.

Tasty food, great beer, staff was on top of their game! 👌 had there stake sandwich and side salad perfect just perfect! Also ordered the appetizer sampler highly recommend! We ate the sampler before I could take a pic

This is a hidden gem in Visalia. Not sure why I never heard of it. Just had dinner with friends few hours ago; food and service were excellent. Love the live band! It was a real treat. Will definitely come back with more friends. It's a cool place to just hang, enjoy good food and good music.

We didn’t eat but the beers are great and the staff are friendly and fun. The bar in the back is really interesting, used to be a vault. For the old train station is mu understanding. Definitely check it out!

Friendly staff, good prices, large selection of beers with a full bar as well. Their blood orange house margarita was amazing.

I had called ahead of schedule to make a reservation. To make a long story short my reservation was overlooked somehow. It was for a Friday evening and was super packed. Eve and Erica were both working and did a phenomenal job at getting me and my large party in. They provided service with a smile and hustled the whole time. They could’ve easily turned us away but they didn’t. This is our fourth time eating dinner here and I will say the food is delicious. We’ve tried almost everything, and everything is good. I highly recommend for the food and the service. The atmosphere in the bar is also fun.

Great service amazing beers and cocktails the pretzel was amazing and the Korean cauliflower was delicious chicharrons were amazing as well highly recommend this place Great menu Great food and great cocktails what more do you need and they are local have lots of sports on the tvs and support Fresno state selling their vodka witch is also delicious i write lots of reviews but made this one a little longer because they earned it

Probably our best Google “restaurants near me” find and definitely the best $20 I’ve spent on food in a loooonnnng time! My French dip was amazing and my husband couldn’t stop raving about the tri-tip sandwich.

Please bring back the old menu. It was way better n delicious. Frog legs and chicken waffles were really good.

Wow very impressed. Only came here for lunch but the atmosphere is great.

Great fresh beer and service. Good ambiance. Didn’t try the food, so review is based on the beers (which is the point no?) 😉

The burgers and pretzel were fantastic! Cool space and friendly staff. Only downfall is they didn't have their own beer on tap so I didn't have any and can't vouch for it.

This is a great little brewery in the heart of Visalia California. It was my first time here, and I have to say, super impressed with this little brewery. I started with the chips and salsa....salsa was bland, but chips were slappin. For my main course, I had the Cajun Sausage Pasta....I know that's contradicting, but that's what it was. It was really good. Being from South Alabama and my family from New Orleans, it doesn't compare. However, it hits the spot. My buddy ordered the fish tacos. Now these were awesome....we are in California, so you can't go wrong with tacos. 2 massive fish tacos that slapped differently. I recommend this place if your looking for a random lunch day out with beer or liquor with some good bar food. It won't disappoint.

The food we ordered was fresh and hot, but the flavor and seasoning were not all there. We got the platters, lake fries, and steak. The corn that comes with the platter was the best of everything else. The corn was delicious and worth the wait. It did take about 25-30 mins for our food to come out. Customer services were great, and I love the ambiance of the restaurant. It's not the best brewery I have been to, but it's worth a try. It is expensive for the quality and quantity of food serve in here, though.

Friendly service. Nice atmosphere. The different brews were tasty, my husband enjoyed them! I had their wine, good variety of choices. I loved their flatbread, it complimented my wine! He had the jambalaya to eat, a little too heavy in tomato sauce for him but was still good.

This place is very nice! Food is good, atmosphere is chill, staff is nice! I would have loved to give 5 stars, but I could not because our food didn’t come out at the same time, not even close! I was finished with my food by the time others in my party even got theirs! Also had to wait quit a while even though there was basically no one there! Any negative would not keep me from coming back! 🤙🤙 2nd visit! Now I would not come back! Food was cold and food was average! Will not return! 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

The beer here has something for everyone; sweet, light, amber, hefe, dark. Quite the variety. We ordered the sampler plate and the buffalo cauliflower bites were on point. It also came with Mac n cheese balls, wings, sausages, and fried ravioli, but we got extra cauliflower bites in place of the ravioli. It was enough food for 3 people for sure.

Food was good I like their sampler!! They did take a very long time to serve us but it was nice to eat downtown. Didn’t get a chance to go to the bar maybe next time.

The food was good. Good atmosphere and excellent service.

The food was good. Good atmosphere and excellent service.

A bit disappointed with the taco salad ; first time trying this place … added chicken for $3 received about 3 small chunks (pardon the fork, was digging to see if there was more to it). This was essentially lettuce in a tortilla. Pretzel was decent .

The beer options are great, but I’d definitely stay away from the food. The first time, my meal wasn’t good so I figured it might’ve just been a one time thing, so I gave it another shot. Turns out, it wasn’t a “one time thing.” I even ordered something simple that’s hard to mess up, NACHOS! and somehow they still had no flavor. That said, it’s a solid spot to stop by for a beer, just don’t come hungry.

Staff was friendly, food alcoholic drink deals. Water tasted like Hanford 🤮. Flat bread was flavorful and nicely crisp but toppings were mid. Fries were good and crispy but sauce needed a lot of salt and pepper. French dip was the best of what we tried.

Came here expecting a brewery but was more of a taphouse; they only had beer from other brewerys on tap. Bulldog vodka was good though.

Very disappointed, service was slow and it wasn’t even a packed house on a Friday night. Got the chicken nachos as an appetizer and they barley put any toppings on it. Drinks was good will give them that. Entrées was decent.

The food was great however it took over 20 mins for the waitress to get our drink order & over 40 mins for her to get our food order. That was a whole HOUR for us to to just order NOT including the wait. Not only that, i’m extremely disappointed because we were before a couple & one of the first people to arrive. However it got a little busy she decided to take everyone’s order before ours when we arrived first. She was very late to offer complimentary items including napkins, forks, ranch, etc,. She was also very rude at first until I made it known I was extremely unsatisfied. I was so close to walking out however I knew the cooks probably were working hard & she just decided to take everyone’s order before ours. Not only that, they didn’t have working restrooms & they smelt so bad. I always have great experiences here but this was THE WORST experience i’ve had. It felt like she was being prejudiced towards us.

Sure would be nice to have some beer cheese right now with my tots. I only called and asked for no salt or seasoning on my burger tots. I never said remove my beer cheese order. My fiancé also placed a order too. I had no other requests except well done on the tots and sweet potatoes fries. But when asked about it I was told well since our beer cheese is extremely salty we did not put in there. So you charged me for it and did not tell me about and now you want me to call doordash for my 4.99 beer cheese refund. Sheesh. This was a 70 dollar order. What happened? Everything is usually good here.

Came here during a long drive. They were one of the only restaurants in the area open on the 4th of July, which we appreciated. The staff was friendly and did a great job, but the food was mid at best. The chicken wings were dry with very little flavor, but plenty of feathers. I got a salad that pretty much just tasted like a pre packaged salad from a grocery store. My bf got a club sandwich with meat that felt “lunchable quality”. Overall, I don’t know how this place has as high of a rating as it does. Maybe an ok place for a few beers but I would never eat here again. The only thing redeeming about it is the friendly staff and the cool looking building.

Terrible experience people standing everywhere near our table while eating after my group was directed to a table upon entry. We receive our food and there is literally a group of five standing close by what i would consider personal space from my table talking extremely loudly. Not to mention they would just cluster in walkways having full on conversations in between tables. The server, visibly ignored us after this extremely large group came in. I had to walk and ask for the tab and boxes. Overall an abysmal experience we will not be back.

We are very upset tonight we came to eat at lake bottom since we always go there and it said it closed at 9pm we got there at 8:25pm and a young lady told us they are no longer serving food. This is very disappointing and unprofessional.

Poor service and ok beer. They forgot to put in our order after a fairly slow ordering process. When we asked for our order to go with the check, the check promptly came but our order was never put in. Waitress didn’t apologize. Manager offered to put our order in. With two kids in tow, we wanted to leave, not wait around at more. Will not be going back - beer was better at several other breweries in short walking distance, and the staff remembered to order our food elsewhere.

The service is horrible . The waitress was so serious, got my order wrong, never came to check on us, we were without refills the whole meal, never cracked a smile. Made us feel unwelcome. The drink was horrible. If was a raspberry mojito. I have high expectations for mixed drinks, but that was my fault, it’s not the type of restaurant to expect good quality drinks. It’s more of a beer place. The trip tip was good, the shoe string onions were very salty. Nothing there will make me want to return. I will not be recommending

Went here on Monday and we waited about 15 minutes before we walked out. No acknowledgement whatsoever, the server walked passed us and served the two tables next to us and just walked by. There was only about 3 other tables with guests. Needless to say terrible service, won’t ever bother to go here again. You can get better food, service, and beers down the road.

On 11/9/25 my family arrived for our anniversary. I even made a reservation. But no one greeted us. Only to say to sit wherever. It was dead inside the restaurant. Once inside we were given menus and then were ignored. Staff kept saying they would be with us while they stood doing nothing but talking. We ended up walking out. Very disappointing. Will not be back.

Unfortunately I have actually given this place several chances. I so badly wanted this place to be good. First off, they have two individual bathrooms (no stalls) and they are disgusting. I went early in the day, soon after their opening hours and there was piss and blood drops all over the seat. The floors and sink are also gross. Mind you this is right after opening hours meaning they most likely do not clean them before closing or before opening. Gross. Second, although they constantly push and advertise $4 moonshine, they have never ever had "moonshine" in stock (to my knowledge). I live right down the road and regularly pop in just to see if they have it and they always say they are out of stock; literally since they opened. Finally, when dining there the service wasn't great. The waiter seemed to forget our table and the food took forever to arrive. Once it arrived it was pretty bland and flavorless. Again I really wanted to like this place, it's close to home and the ambience looks cool, but man, the experience really sucks every time I go there.
