This dive bar totally made our night. Â After a long day of hiking at Yosemite, the BF and I grabbed some din din at a totally forgettable Mexican resto (that's another review) and decided to have a little nightcap before resting our weary legs.
You could roll through Mariposa and miss this tiny bar, as it's in a back alley under a main street building (signage is off to the right of the building), but that would be a travesty!
This place gets 5 stars for:
*Cheap drinks on tap ($4-5) that include Racer 5 IPA, Bootjack Blonde and Black Butte Porter, local wines
*Kitschy interior, including "message on a dollar bill" wallpaper (saw some pounds and euros too), jeans upholstered bar stools, original wall from the 1800s, reddish lighting
* Fabulously friendly bartendress (Katie, I believe)
* Chill, friendly patrons (you may walk in a stranger, but I promise you'll have at least one good convo with your co-imbibers)
* Walter!!!
Extra points for the cool band from Riverside (I didn't catch their name) playing that night. Â These young (21-23 y.o.) boys had a great funky vibe going that added to the appeal of this magical hideout.
Great little place in Mariposa! Stopped in after zip lining. Â One of the few places that has a great Hard Cider. Â This place lives up to its name. Â It is a bit hidden off the main street. Â The woman behind the bar introduced herself and made an effort to learn our names. Â I love that! She had a great personality and was very friendly. Â
Next time I go to Yosemite I will definitely stop there again.
My husband and I had a ball at this little dive bar! Â The bartender came up and introduced herself as soon as we sat down. Before we could finish our first beer, the guy next to us bought everyone a round (Thank you Robert!). We were looking for some music that night, but since we visited in the middle of Winter it's kinda quiet around town. A very nice customer and citizen of Mariposa came to the rescue...Hank got out his guitar right then and there. He then proceeded to write and sing us a song about our trip :) Later on that night, another very talented musician joined him. Some great music was played and a good time was had by all! We will always have memories of this random and fun night hanging out with some truly genuine people. Thanks for an awesome time, beer, music, Bob Dylan, Jackson & the vest!
Review Source:Fabulous little (ok tiny) spot.
Immediately upon walking up/down to the spot, my boyfriend's and my eyes lit up. He looked like a kid about to go into a candy store, and I liked how it looked old-timey. We both liked how it was off beaten path.
Inside, there were a bunch of dollar bills on the ceiling and walls. When we ordered our beers, I expressed interest in posting one up. I was promptly handed a permanent marker, a staple gun and a Coors.
The bartender was super friendly and the owners were, too. Clover, the owner's dog, was around and was super sweet. We got to meet Walter, Mariposa's 'unofficial Mayor,' which was the cherry on top of the visit.
My Wife and I were spending a couple of nights in town and found the place to be too sleepy. Â Lucky for us, we found the hideout.
Highlight of Mariposa and the only place in town!
The couple that runs the place are as friendly as can be. Â
Strictly a beer and wine place that is located around the back alley of the Hotel on Highway 140. Â Just about anyone in town can tell you how to get there. Â
They don't stay open late and don't bring more than a couple of friends because there isn't much room. Â They do have some hope of expanding.
