Best Happy Hour Spots of Incline Village: Winter Edition
Welcome to Lake Tahoe! The land of adventure, extreme winter sports, summertime water activities, and food styles from around the world. Lake Tahoe is truly a playground for everyone as long as you know where to look. In this short article, we are going to give you the first installment of some of the best wintertime Happy Hours you can find in Incline Village Nevada.
Incline Village is a small hamlet located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, just across the border at Crystal bay.
Quiet and picturesque, Incline has a little something for everyone as long as you know where to look.
This isn’t a food recipe so we’re going to skip the history here, and let’s get right into it!
#1 Slopeside Happy Hour
If you’re in Incline Village in the winter, you will more than likely check out the skiing and riding at Diamond Peak ski resort, rated one of the best view you can ever experience in Tahoe!
One of the best ways to kick off happy hour during ski season is obviously best done with friends while riding the slopes. One chair lift ride and a small skate gets you to Snowflake Lodge.
Here, you will enjoy panoramic views of Lake Tahoe, with plenty of seating, and a great place with a casual slopeside Happy Hour. Featuring a rotating house cocktail special crafted by Snowflake lodge Bartenders for $7, they also offer light beers for $6, and a shot special which varies on the bartender and the season for $6.
Add in some Mac n cheese or maybe a hot dog, and you can get a midday snack and a drink for less than $20. Add in a tip and you can start the party for $25 or less!
#2 Upscale in town Happy Hour
Next up, we have Sage Leaf right in the heart of Incline Village!
Sage Leaf is a small eatery, owned and operated by a local couple named Shane and Lara Hammett. Shane is an extremely talented Chef, having headed many culinary destinations. Most notably here in town, Shane was the Head Chef at one of Tahoe’s most famous locales, The Lone Eagle Grille.
Sage leaf offers Happy Hour specials daily during the winter season, but only at their Bar Seats. Bar seating is limited and is first come first served. Shane and Lara truly focus on local and sustainably sourced products that they feature throughout all aspects of their offerings
Should you score a seat here, you won’t be disappointed at all. We promise.
#3 Craft Brewery Happy Hour
Last but certainly not least is Happy Hour at Alibi Ale Works. Alibi has locations in both Incline and Truckee but for this article, we are showcasing Incline Villages Alibi public house.
From the creative mind of Chef Scott, Alibi’s Happy Hour features a little something for everyone.
Offering $2 off some of their signature classics like the Mustache Pretzel, they also offer drink specials on their draft beers as well!
In addition to that, they have developed a Happy Hour menu featuring garlic Pizza chips, Hot wings, Sliders and a Taco too!

Alibi has a welcoming atmosphere with ample seating for small friend groups and large families as well. Oh yeah, did we mention that they are family friendly? Just be sure to keep the kiddos at the table because that place can get super busy!!!
In the spirit of (trying) to keep this short for you, we want to close on this note;
By no means are these the only offerings in Incline Village for Happy Hour. We will be going further and deeper with the locations and options in this little town as we continue forward.
These are just the top three places to get a bite and a beverage on a budget during ski season, at least in our opinion. We have dozens more places we like to go and we can’t wait to share them. Please subscribe to our newsletter and stay tuned to social as we continue to roll out more in depth posts on how to enjoy the Lake as locals do.
Cheers!
