The Pub at Donner Lake

"This place was a real treat. It is a popular spot amongst the locals, so it can get a little busy and a little loud but that is the worst thing I can say about this place. The servers were friendly and attentive. The prices were reasonable, especially considering the HUGE portion sizes. My partner and I each got a sandwich from the menu and decided against getting any appetizers, which thank goodness we did! Those two sandwiches could have fed 3 or 4 people! I got the steak dip which was umami heaven and my partner got the pomegranate chicken sandwich which was flavorful, juicy, and a little bit different (in the best possible way). We ended up coming back the next day and getting just a couple appetizers for lunch. These were also huge and delicious. The pretzel bites were piping hot, soft and pillowy things of beauty, especially dipped in the beer cheese sauce. And the prawns were massive, perfectly cooked and crunchy. Their beer and cocktail selection won't blow your mind, but they got a bit of everything and you are sure to find s"

"Not only did The Pub at Donner Lake excel in service and atmosphere, but their culinary delights were also a highlight! Their ability to seat our party of 20 and manage everything was amazing! The clam chowder was exceptional, a creamy and flavorful masterpiece that left our taste buds wanting more. The artichoke spread was another star on the menu, a delightful blend of flavors that pleased the entire party. Brian and the chef truly impressed us with their attention to detail, turning our dining experience into a culinary journey. A definite must-visit for anyone craving superb food and outstanding service!"

"The food was outstanding, the service was amazing. I’m glad we stumbled across this gem. Brian was also so gracious and made us feel like family! There was a total of 20 of us and the entire staff took care of us. Mahalo Brian and staff for a fantastic time."

"The Pub is the common local gathering place in the West end of Donner Lake, CA. Especially in the long snow season that the Donner Summit provides. Brian and his team are a great group of poeple. The place is always friendly and I'm really enjoying the growth and change to their menu. Keep up the good work my friends!! I always look forward tot he next time I get to come in."

"Cozy small little place! We were there for lunch and the buffalo chicken sandwich was so good! I got a stout beer that was awesome as well. It’s a bit pricey but big portions and great service. I would definitely come back!"
