The Bear Trap Taproom & Kitchen

The picture is half eaten fries but we forgot to take a picture of the burgers. The drinks looked great but we didn’t indulge. There are board games and other stuff for kids or adults to play while you enjoy the atmosphere.

The Bear Trap was an awesome find! Great food all around , we had the burgers and pizza and both were on point. Solid beer selection and really good mixed drinks too (the margaritas hit just right). The only complaint is that we didn’t find this place sooner. Bonus points for being pet-friendly with outdoor seating when the weather allows. Definitely a must-stop next time we’re in Big Bear! 🍔🍕🍹🐾
