“ Not what we were expecting. But we enjoy shopping in Truckee and wanted to grab a drink and appetizer. None of the appetizers appealed to us, so opted for lunch. I had the Cowboy Chili with chicken, white beans, habanero aioli in a bread bowl. Yum! Highly recommend. My husband had a Turkey sandwich with Brie cranberries and a side of Parmesan fries (or reg) with truffle oil. ”

“ A Sunday to Remember at Bar of America – Truckee’s Hidden Gem Beautiful sunny Sunday, nearly 200 of us gathered for a private lunch event at Bar of America, and I can confidently say—it was an unforgettable experience from the very first sip to the last smile. As we stepped through the doors, we were greeted not just with warmth, but with a welcoming glass of wine—a beautiful touch that instantly set the tone for the afternoon. The vibe was vibrant yet cozy, with the rustic charm of historic Truckee echoing through the wooden beams, ambient lighting, and friendly smiles from the staff. You could feel the love and energy they pour into every guest experience. The food? Phenomenal. Fresh. Flavorful. Thoughtfully prepared. There was a wide variety of options, and I was especially impressed by the number of healthy yet satisfying dishes on the menu—something that can be hard to come by when feeding a group this size. Every plate that came out of the kitchen was beautifully presented, from the farm-fresh salads to the perfectly cooked mains. People couldn’t stop raving about it. The staff handled our large group flawlessly, serving with grace, speed, and genuine hospitality. It’s not easy to cater to nearly 200 people and still make it feel personal—but they nailed it. Every guest felt seen, welcomed, and cared for. Beyond the incredible dining experience, Bar of America is perfectly located for those looking to explore the charming town of Truckee. After lunch, many of us wandered the quaint streets, enjoyed the local shops, and soaked in the mountain town atmosphere. Whether you’re a foodie, a history buff, or just someone who loves discovering unique places—Truckee has something for you. Follow @ytbossbae for travel & food experience in the heart of Downtown Truckee, a charming, historic mountain town nestled in the Sierra Nevada. Bar of America is located right on Donner Pass Road, surrounded by boutique shops, cozy coffee houses, artisan galleries, and locally-owned businesses that give the area such a unique and inviting character. After our event, many of us strolled through the neighborhood, taking in the fresh mountain air and exploring the quaint streets of downtown. If you’ve never been, think: old Western town meets elevated mountain culture. You’ll find: • Outdoor adventure shops for hiking, biking, or ski gear (depending on the season) • Cozy coffee spots and bakeries with homemade pastries • Locally made art, clothing, and decor in the many artisan shops • Breathtaking views of the Sierra Nevada mountains • A glimpse into Truckee’s rich railroad and Gold Rush history There’s a nostalgic feel to Truckee, but with modern-day charm. It’s the kind of place where people say hello to strangers, dogs roam happily alongside their owners, and every corner feels like a story waiting to unfold. ”

“ We ordered burgers and their burger and fries was very good! I also ordered some cocktails and it was ok, but i dont know if I would be able to justify 20 cocktail for such small glass honestly. In addition to that, we went on Friday night so there was some ruffle going on. It's pretty interesting to see but the place was very crowded and loud, though it did give a lively vibes. The servers were all very nice too! all in all, we had pretty good and memorable experience. Ah, and we also ordered some apple crumbles and boy I love that crumbles! the apples were a bit too tangy for me but I think it complements the crumble really well. ”

“ A bit pricey, but one of the few restaurants that stays open after 9pm. Husband and I shared a delicious mushroom pizza and salad with drinks for just under 100. The live band was amazing and made the tab worth it. Perfect finish to a long day of walking and exploring! ”

“ This spot was so fun. They had an awesome live band from Reno (very tight) playing funk when we were there. We were late dining and just got a salad and pizza but wow the pizza was great and my wife and I had plenty between us. Waiter was very pleasant and went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed our time. ”

“ We had dinner here with a large group. The food was amazing, the service was top notch and the managers were fantastic to work with. I highly recommend! 2nd Review: We came back for another visit and we were just as happy with our experience! New photos added. ”

“ For them being full and walking in we only waited about 5 min to be seated. Then our waitress Rachel was excellent. She was awesome and definitely took care of us and made sure we were always good. Even my 10 year old son said something about her service and I had to make sure she made it into the review. Thank you Rachel ”

“ Best ribeye steak I think I've ever had! Friendly, attentive staff. Good cocktails. Will go again next time in Truckee. ”
