Whiskey Dave’s in Big Bear Lake isn’t just a whiskey lover’s paradise—it’s also one of Big Bear Village’s go-to sports bars. Inside, you’ll find 22 strategically placed HD TVs broadcasting NFL, college football, basketball, soccer, and more, so you won’t miss a single play no matter where you’re seated. With a full bar, extensive whiskey selection, and that electric, communal game-day energy, cheers and high-fives flow as freely as the drinks.
But the fun doesn’t stop indoors. Whiskey Dave’s boasts a spacious, dog-friendly outdoor patio complete with TVs, heating lamps, and even a cozy fireplace—making it a rare and inviting spot to bring your pup along while you watch the game. Dogs can lounge by your side as you enjoy live music, arcade games, beer, and burgers in the fresh mountain air. When the temperatures drop, the heated patio stays toasty, ensuring both you and your four-legged friend stay comfortable late into the night.
To round it all out, Whiskey Dave’s offers a full sports-bar experience beyond the TVs and tunes. With six pool tables, foosball, and arcade machines, there’s no shortage of ways to pass time between innings or quarters. Friendly staff keep the atmosphere lively—drop in any weekday for happy hour specials or text-club alerts—and enjoy elevated pub fare, signature cocktails, and one of the best whiskey selections in the village. All of this, in a welcoming, laid-back setting where both locals and visitors—including their furry companions—feel at home.
