Après-ski

The Loft Bar is the old-timer “local” après-ski hangout and the Red Dog Bar and Grill is a favorite with Squaw Valley employees. Bar One has live music, dancing and pool tables, while the Plaza Bar is the hang out for sports fans, with sporting events on the big-screen TV. For a more intimate après ski experience, the bar at the PlumpJack Squaw Valley Inn has a cozy fireplace and an excellent selection of wine.

The newest après-ski spot in the Squaw scene is the Balboa Café, featuring tasty appetizers and a variety of beverage options. Look for it to become a hot spot next season. Nearby in Tahoe City, guests enjoy Pete ‘n’ Peter’s, the Naughty Dawg and the Bridgetender. In Truckee, Casa Baeza, O.B.’s Pub & Restaurant and the Tourist Club are popular.
