Kallans Bar & Grill in California

"Ok, this place was great! I'm from LA and used to super fast service so it was slower service than I'm used to but the food and drinks were amazing! If you love spicy get the burger from Hell! This one is with chicken. Fries were great too! Will definitely come back when I'm up here!"

"This was a little bar and grill outside the more touristy area of Big Bear lake. I’d considered this a dive bar, but they do serve food that was actually pretty good. The service was nice and our bartender/server was friendly and accommodating. It wasn’t too crowded, but they have plenty of seating as well as TVs and a pool table. The liquor selection is pretty limited, but they do have a range of beers, including some local brews. The food was pretty good too. We had the Caland burger and the hot national Asheville chicken sandwich. I like the burger better, but they were both pretty tasty. They ran out of fries, but made salads instead, which was a lot better than I expected. Overall, if you want to get away from the touristy part of Big Bear, make your way over here for ann off the strip dive bar experience."

"Stopped in for the first time today. There were five of us. we sat on the upper level. service was a bit slow but the food is excellent. The burgers are tasty and my brother‘s club sandwich looked wonderful. he said it was wonderful. Just a nice, comfortable place to sit and chill for a while, the prices are moderate. They have Coors light and 805 on tap. We will be back soon."

"First time visiting Kallans Bar & Grill , it was great. Greeted by a friendly staff member & took or drink orders right away. We order some wings & nachos which were great sharing portions as recommended. Great customer service, delicious food & a good atmosphere"

"Great semi dive bar! Rarely overcrowded. Way off the beaten path in the Sugarloaf area of Big Bear. Prices are ok. Food ok.. Dont expect a lot and you will be great ! Its a good size place and has a pool table. People are friendly! Its one of the few places on the east side of Big Bear. Food-wise, the menu sticks to classic dive bar fare that won’t win awards but won’t let you down either. The BTA sandwich (because they were out of avocado) turned out to be an unintentional masterpiece. The French fries and ketchup? Honestly, it’s a toss-up which was better – they were both oddly satisfying in that “I’m one drink away from declaring this the best meal I’ve ever had” kind of way. In conclusion, Kallen’s is exactly what it promises to be: a rowdy, unpretentious dive bar with well-poured drinks, surprisingly entertaining food, and a karaoke scene that might just make you a legend (or at least a meme). We’ll definitely be back – maybe next time we’ll even add a pool game to our repertoire."

"Kallen’s Dive Bar: A Masterclass in Mountain Town Shenanigans Every mountain town needs a good dive bar, and Kallen’s delivers with flair and just the right amount of chaos. This place is more than a bar; it’s an experience. Our server? A hybrid of bartender/karaoke artist/pool shark/magician who somehow kept our glasses full, our spirits high, and the vibe immaculate. Seriously, it felt like they had a secret cloning device because they were everywhere at once. The drinks? Top-tier dive bar quality. We stuck with bourbon and vodka because, well, we’re here for a good time, not a fancy wine pairing. The karaoke setup brought the kind of unfiltered joy that only a slightly tipsy crowd of locals can provide. Pro tip: If you’re hesitant to sing, just cue up “Tequila.” It’s got one word, and you’ve got this. This gem of a suggestion comes from the local who insisted in singing this dedicated song to us. A top ten experience. Food-wise, the menu sticks to classic dive bar fare that won’t win awards but won’t let you down either.

"Local here so my opinion is based on frequenting Kallans more than almost anyone on the internet. Most Friday nights they have DJ VJJ who hosts karaoke and tears it up. To hear her sing alone is with going. The entire staff is friendly, fun and responsible which I appreciate. The food is awesome and the drinks are SOLID. If you don't want to be sardined into a building bumping elbows w everyone and would rather be in a more comfy local vibe Kallans is the spot! A+."

"Food is delicious yesterday was my first time here my son loved the wings.service was excellent people and atmosphere are wonderful. If your in Sugarloaf and need to have a meal and a drink this is the spot. Definitely going back."
