A New Chapter in Mountain Hospitality: North Shore Tavern Opens at UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge
Nestled among the towering pines and serene waters of Lake Arrowhead, the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge has long been a retreat for those seeking relaxation, adventure, and a deep connection to nature. Now, with the opening of North Shore Tavern, the lodge welcomes a new era of hospitality—one that blends mountain charm with handcrafted cocktails, local brews, and elevated pub fare.
A Legacy of Hospitality
For decades, the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge has been a hidden gem in the San Bernardino Mountains, offering a tranquil escape for guests looking to unwind in a setting rich with history and natural beauty. Originally built as a private mountain resort in the 1920s, the property has evolved over the years while maintaining its rustic elegance and commitment to warm hospitality. The opening of North Shore Tavern is a nod to that legacy—a place where guests can gather, share stories, and enjoy great food and drink in a cozy, inviting atmosphere.
The North Shore Tavern Experience
Whether you’re visiting after a day of hiking, unwinding after a conference, or simply looking for a casual evening with friends, North Shore Tavern offers something for every guest. The menu is designed for both comfort and indulgence, featuring shareable bites like the Bruin Block charcuterie board, crispy fried pickle spears, and a warm Bavarian pretzel with Newcastle cheese sauce. For those seeking a heartier option, the tavern’s rotating specials promise satisfying flavors perfect for pairing with a local craft beer or a signature cocktail.
Speaking of drinks, the bar boasts an impressive selection of handcrafted cocktails inspired by the season and the spirit of the mountains. Whether you’re sipping on a Tavern Old Fashioned by the fire or cooling off with a refreshing Manzanita Margarita, each drink is crafted with care to enhance your experience. Local beer lovers will appreciate the selection of Lake Arrowhead Brewing Co. favorites on tap, alongside regional picks from across California.
A Gathering Place for All Seasons
With its warm ambiance and welcoming energy, North Shore Tavern is more than just a bar—it’s a gathering place. In the winter, it’s the perfect spot to cozy up with a hot toddy after a day of snow play. In the summer, it’s a refreshing retreat after exploring the lake and trails. No matter the season, North Shore Tavern is a place where great drinks, delicious food, and good company come together.
So whether you’re a longtime guest of the UCLA Lake Arrowhead Lodge or discovering this mountain retreat for the first time, we invite you to raise a glass, share a plate, and make new memories at North Shore Tavern.
