Shelter Distilling - Mammoth Lakes, California

My husband thought the beer here was excellent, and I really enjoyed the nachos and steak soft tacos—they were delicious! The ordering and payment process is fully automated through QR codes, which makes the experience very convenient and efficient. However, there were quite a lot of kids around, which might not be ideal for everyone.

The cocktails here are amazing. Food is so so.

It's very difficult to grab a spot here. It's packed on the weekends.

Otherwise, a friendly place to chat with strangers.

Non-contact restaurant, however you may order at the counter if you like. Our dinner was absolutely delicious and we had to return Tuesday for tacos!
Great cocktails and an excellent environment.

Super fun atmosphere! Loved watching the brewing/distilling happen while eating. The food was great. Flights were fun. Service was fast, but you order completely on your phone and I wanted to ask questions about the drinks. More efficient for sure, but not as personal. The Mexican pizza, cheese curds, grilled cheese, and French dip were amazing! A must try in Mammoth!

A place with great ambience and okayish drinks, but please don’t order food.
Food is not great here.

Our pizza was moist and watery( see picture) and hummus tasted old.

The server was not at all helpful while choosing for drinks or providing recommendations.

I won’t suggest to come here

Probably one of the best drinking/eating establishments in the area. The set up is pretty cool with hardcore industrial vibes, as is their playlist 🙂 Drinks are awesome (the prickly pear daiquiri was the best daiquiri I ever had) and despite being a respectable distillery they also serve cider and beer. The food is pretty decent too (we had tacos 3 ways and shishito peppers). Plus their outdoor patio is dog and kid friendly in the summer months (no high chairs for toddlers though). Prices seem reasonable and staff is on top of their game. We didn’t have to wait for our food/drinks at all as it all came out pretty quickly but the place was almost employable given it was 4pm on a Thursday.

Also looks like most of the one star reviews from previous years are related to the staff not being responsive and fast enough when patrons walk in. Well, they solved that problem by enabling ordering via QR code right at the table.

All in all, a great hangout, well above other food/drink places in Mammoth Village.

Okay we had to come here twice during our Mammoth Lakes trip, we loved the Hawaiian pizza so much!

If you’re a Hawaiian pizza eater, definitely stop in to try it. It comes with not only pineapple, but also mandarin (which sounds a little odd) but it seriously was delicious. I also ordered a house made ranch to dip (iykyk) and wow I could have eaten 3 of these.

My husband went with the tacos, which were very good.

The second time we came here, we decided to try some of their drinks and were not disappointed!

The espresso martini was great. And the old fashioned was good too.

Ordered the cake with ice cream for dessert, was good (maybe better for vanilla lovers though).

On top of great food, you also get an awesome atmosphere at this place. It’s right in town, and they have a lot of open air seating so you can enjoy the local music and people watch.

Very cool place, definitely best food we had in Mammoth.

Surprisingly very good food here and great drinks. One of our favorite spots in Mammoth. Highly recommended.
