Crema's Take
“Cleo's does cocktails and pastries in the Caesar Republic hotel, and the few regulars who praise it rave specifically about certain bartenders (Nasim, Grifen, Justin) and their creative drinks—but this rating rests on only 24 reviews, far too few to be reliable. The real problem is inconsistency: some visitors report genuinely fresh pastries and friendly service, while others hit long waits for basic orders, pricing complaints, and a refund situation tied to unclear rewards policies. If you're visiting Tahoe and want to take a chance on a cocktail bar with a good vibe when the right person is working, it might be worth a stop, but don't expect it to be polished or dependable.”
What to expect
Specialty coffee, with creative signature drinks. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings. Open late.

See all on Google →My wife and I only had pastries, but oh my gosh they were so fresh and delicious and the employees there we're SO friendly!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PLACE FOR GREAT PASTRIES AND COFFEE
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,…
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…
Nas , Jessica , and Grif are my fav bartenders in town! Love stopping by Cleo’s for the best cocktails and vibes in town
