Yavapai Tavern: The view well done

Feast your eyes on Yavapai Tavern, which is located within Yavapai Lodge. Embark on a culinary journey where classic libations meet delectable dishes over tales of your South Rim escapades. Enjoy local flavors and camaraderie, as Yavapai Tavern welcomes you with a full bar, a selection of Arizona craft beer and fine wines. Ease into your evening with Southwestern cocktails and a range of dining delights, whether it’s vegan street tacos, Grand Canyon-sized nachos, fresh seasonal salads or elk burgers.

Unwind outside as Yavapai Tavern extends its charm to one of the South Rim’s rare outdoor dining spaces. Grab a seat by the cozy fire pit or indoors with a view. Throughout the summer, live music graces the patio.

Join us for Signature Beer Tastings and Tap Takeovers as the desert sun sets. These special events spotlight the craftsmanship of local brewers, inviting you to explore unique beer pairings and signature dishes. From Founders and Avery to Odell and San Tan, each event promises an exclusive experience with live music and a tempting array of food specials. Our cozy patio sets the stage for these gatherings, where camaraderie flows as freely as the beer.
