Cleo's Coffee and Cocktails
18 US-50, South Lake Tahoe, CA
Crema's Take
“Tucked inside the revamped Caesar Republic hotel, Cleo's has earned genuine devotion for its craft cocktails and the skilled bartenders who make them—Nasim, Grifen, and Jessica are repeatedly praised for both their technique and personality. The space feels like a proper upscale bar escape in South Lake Tahoe, offering creative drinks and a welcoming vibe that keeps locals coming back, though service can be slow and the coffee side of things seems less polished than the cocktail program.”

My husband and I wanted some cocktails in South Lake Tahoe over the summer and heard that Cleo’s bar at the new Caesar Republic hotel is the place to try. We were impressed with the new cocktail bar and its bartender Justin. He was professional, polite, articulate, knowledgeable, and accommodating while handling big crowds. Justin’s drinks were amazing, the best we have ever had! He was to be able to whip up delicious cocktails quickly when the crowds started to roll in and everyone was complimenting his drinks. Located in the hotel lobby, Cleo’s did not have the typical flashing lights, chaos, and noises of a typical casino. Its ambiance was calming, modern, clean, well lit but not too bright with loud enough music in the background so we could still talk. We enjoyed our experience thoroughly and happy that we gave this surprise spot a try. The coffee bar on the other side has delicious foods, snacks, and treats with non-alcoholic drinks available. Recommend a try if you are happened to be visiting South Lake Tahoe.
Good soup and sandwich for lunch. Caesar's website listed this as a place where you can redeem a comped beverage, but the worker said I couldn't. I don't know if the Caesar's rewards website was wrong, or if the worker was unaware of how to redeem that reward.
Over priced, waited half an hour for 2 coffees and 2 bagels only for them to tell me they were out of bagels and got back in long line for refund. The morning before no one in line still took 20+ minutes for avocado toast which was incredibly bland and over peoces.
This place is awesome with bartenders Nasim and Grifen, they are top-notch pros and there drinks are ace. Its very nice to finally have an upscale bar at Caesars Republic (used to be Harveys). Its located in the lobby area, totally new, also has a coffee bar that we go to every morning.
Nas , Jessica , and Grif are my fav bartenders in town! Love stopping by Cleo’s for the best cocktails and vibes in town
