Chad's Place

As far as Big Bear Lake is concerned, Chad's is a pretty happening place.

On Friday night, there was great live music and a group of people dancing on the dance floor. There was a wide variety of people, all ages from 21 to 80. Our group was entertained by several older patrons showing off their moves on the dance floor.

The place is definitely a dive bar but overall it was a good experience.

If you're in Big Bear Lake on the weekend and looking for a place to go, you should check out Chad's.

FYI: This place is cash only!

You gotta be kidding me. Don't go!  The locals run the place and one wanted to fight soon after I walked in. Filthy and run down. The employees all look like they need baths, haircuts, and shaves...and I'm talking about the females!  Band was off key and needed to go back to the garage. I wouldn't dare order food from this greasy spoon with a cook that looked like he just came out of prison. All the employees reeked of smoke.  Won't even think of going back. What a dive.

Went here Saturday around 3 pm after a long day of fishing. We got a few buckets of beer and some food. The cheeseburgers are HUGE! $8.50 was a steal. The burger was so good I decided to get the pastrami sandwich. WOW! This place is what it is. I have never been here ond a weekend night, but if you just want to hang out with the Bros, eat some damn good food and have a couple of drinks then Chads will definitely  work. I also chatted with the owner Bob. Totally a nice guy. There moving the location to the main boulevard in a few months. I wish him the best at the new location. I'm coming back in July and I 'll be stopping by again.
