Tessie's

Where Tahoe legends get loud

Tessie’s Cocktails & Chords brings a little mystery, a lot of music and an unmistakable South Tahoe spirit to Caesars Republic Lake Tahoe. Inspired by Tessie—the legendary creature rumored to live beneath the lake—the lounge turns local folklore into a full-volume experience built around live performances, creative cocktails and nights that rarely end with just one round.

Inside, antique mahogany, deep couches and modern details meet rugged mountain style, creating a space that feels equal parts rock-and-roll hideaway and elevated cocktail lounge. It’s warm, comfortable and just polished enough, whether you’re winding down after a day on the slopes, coming in from the lake or heading out for a night of live music.

The bar pairs imaginative cocktails with elusive spirits and an extensive selection of beer and wine. Onstage, emerging musicians and established performers turn up the volume, making every visit feel a little different from the last. Settle in for a drink, reserve a table for an upcoming show or bring the group together for a private event.

As part of Clique Hospitality’s Lake Tahoe portfolio, Tessie’s captures what the destination does best: natural beauty, local legend and nightlife with its own unmistakable rhythm.

Follow the sound. You might just find the monster.
