Food scene
This is definitely our #1 place in Big Bear. Every pizza is amazing, they play classic rock, have the entire place decorated with album covers, and they have big screen TV's playing all the games of the day/night. Kids love the chicken fingers, the ceasar salad is a great way to start and we especially love the BBQ chicken pizza, margarita pizza and you cant go wrong with pepperoni, extra cheese and jalapeno's. They also give you 15% off at the candy/sweet shop next door after you pay your bill. Enjoy!

We LOVE this place! Our favorites are the Fried Fiesta Rolls as an app or entree and the fajitas, the servings huge! You can't go wrong with the margarita's either.

Another great spot to get out in The Village for beers and BBQ. They have a fun ambiance, TV's and great food. The only downside is it's NOT cheap.

Nightlife
Belive it or not there's a concert venue in Big Bear! I've seen some awesome bands here. It's a very small venue with no bad seats. Standing room in the front or reserve a table if you want to sit. They're right in The Village and if you take an Uber/Lyft you can grab dinner and drinks beforehand and walk right to the venue. Check the concert calendar at www.thecavebigbear.com

This is an awesome 9 hole golf course right down the hill from the cabin at the base of Bear Mountain Ski Resort. If hikings not your thing this is an incredible way to experience the great outdoors in Big Bear. After golf take advantage of the back deck overlooking the 9th hole and pop a cold one, or two.

About a 5min drive down the hill from the cabin. Get there early to get a good parking spot and fresh lines on the slopes.
Take a shuttle after lunch over to Snow Summit to get the full experience of Big Bear.

Nice little hike but is pretty popular. Be careful parking as you have to park along a busy road and there's very limited parking. It's about a 20min drive from the cabin but has some nice lake views.
