The bar catches my eye with the large terrace, open garage doors and a west coast appearance and feeling. The room sounds somewhat angular due to the wood and steel interior, but conversations are made by the many screens that transmit sports. Had the opportunity to down a few pints and the recommended appetizers from our server was a hit. Nachos are tasty without the feet, large portion with enough chips to share with their farm fresh salads. The kitchen knows how to fire meat and fish. Local craft brews from the surrounding area make the stop worth it. There is something familiar with the menu and children will certainly enjoy their burgers and tacos. Bear Bottle missed a five star due to the limited staff who contributed to longer service times on the terrace on a weekend. We are not discouraged and will definitely be back for some of the West Coast IPAs.

I had pigs in a blanket with eggs and hashbrowns. It was good and I go back. Bear Bottle has a great atmosphere and friendly service. Great neighborhood place.

The regular menu is also incredibly versatile that caters to many different tastes. Very consistent kitchen. Staff here is always super friendly and the place has a really nice vibe. Try the deviled eggs to start off, and make sure you save room for dessert on the weekends.

I had the Mexican Street Corn Chicken Tacos (lots of lime and a perfectly seasoned sauce). He had the Slammin' Salmon Cobb Salad (with seared and blackened salmon, huge pieces of crunchy bacon, etc). Really yummy! Roller doors to bring theoutside in. Casual but classy atmosphere. Better than what you expect for pub food. Nice representation of craft brews. Serverwas attentive, knowledgeable, sweet. We'll be back.
